The Hundred Thousand Woman
Part 17's
"What are you daydreaming about? Your tea is cold now." The subtle sound of someone succeeding makes Maureen wake up from her daydreaming.
From then on, all that came to his mind was the shadow of Wilson and Veila. What if two people fall in love with each other? Maureen's not ready to lose Wilson, really.
His head shook slowly, his faintest smile making him even more beautified by his smile.
"Nothing, just thinking about Wilson, that's all," he replied, not daring to say any further. In fact, when answering even the shadow of two people had crossed. Maureen thinks there's something wrong with her brain right now, like it's been laundered to think about her husband and Wilson's future second wife.
"I came all the way here to meet you, Maureen. But why do you think Wilson is? I'm jealous, you know," she lamented, making Maureen's eyes round and grabbing the other person's hand, call her Maureen's boyfriend because they've been in a relationship for a year.
"Not so, it's just ... For some reason, I think it's too soon" she said with her netra locked onto a well-dressed figure beside her. The woman smiled wryly, begging her lover to give understanding and not to be excessively jealous.
The lover only laughed insipidly, assuming that Maureen had just issued an opinion that was too funny for him. What's too fast? Isn't faster better? Maureen had it all, and now, if she wanted, she could have left Wilson for reasons she had thought carefully.
"Didn't you get everything? Some treasure and all love, has Wilson given you? You're not satisfied with that, Ren? What were you jealous of that club lady that night? Ah, I know, there's only one answer. Maureen, you love Wilson Hovers, don't you?"
The successful question made Maureen's heart shake violently. Did she really love Wilson, her husband? When they got married, Maureen never had any special feelings for the man. At that time he only obeyed the orders of his parents, only able to nod without being able to shake his head.
"The problem of love, I can give it to you. Didn't you always receive my love this year? I also accept you as you are, if you can't have children even though, I will still accept you. You will not be distressed by an impulse and guilt" he said, replying to Maureen's hand.
Wilson never forced her to have a child, only that Wilson's parents wanted an heir in the Hovers family, and honestly, Maureen was distressed because of that. However, there are times when he should thank his family, because it can make him leave Wilson with a strong reason.
Maureen nodded her head, confirming that she had received all the love from her lover.
"Then, it's your turn. Wilson is a man who is easily jealous and does not want his own to be touched. All you need to do now is get close to Veila, Leo. We'll see if my husband will fall into a trap or even walk out of the reach of a tempting cheese" she said, responding to a nod by her lover Leo Zhang.
After saying that, for some reason, there was something damning Maureen's heart and mind. To be honest, there was a speck of displeasure when passing that sentence. He was too comfortable with the affection and love that Wilson gave him to let Wilson go of his life.
Actually, Maureen has wanted to leave Wilson since one year ago, since Leo started to enter into life and he felt his heart pounding because of Leo. However, there was a deep pity, she could not leave Wilson, leaving a wound and a void in her husband's heart.
Therefore, when his mother and father-in-law said something that night, about Wilson remarrying, there was a sense of sadness and pleasure in his heart. In this way, wouldn't he be able to leave without having to see Wilson cry in disappointment?
