The Substitute Woman on the First Night
Happy Tears

Happy reading!

Not wanting to spoil the atmosphere of this dinner with sadness, I managed to pull it all aside by smiling back when I saw the behavior of Delano who managed to cover Maura's mouth with both hands to stop talking to me.

"You've gone there don't bother me!" Delano threw out his sister who had just managed to take off her hand.

"Yes, yes .. I'm leaving. Lissa, even though my sister is lazy to take a bath, but you are still lucky because I think he is a good man. Yeah, not better than my boyfriend." Finished saying so, Maura blinked one eye at Delano who started smiling hearing the praise from his sister.

"Basic, Maura! He was always a fad." grumbled Delano still continuing to see Maura's departure towards a table at the other end, where I could see a handsome man waving at him.

"It looks like it's his girlfriend. It turns out Maura has very good taste in choosing a partner huh." The praise escaped from my mouth to make Delano glance at me.

"So, do you think that guy is handsome? Is he better looking than me?" His voice sounded a little upset. Could it be that Delano was jealous because I praised the other man in front of him?

I still see him. Guessing what was in Delano's mind that was currently just silent without saying anything. "You're jealous, aren't you?" I continued to look at her full of probes, then raised both of my eyebrows to poke at her with a seductive smile.

"Not ... Why am I jealous? I just want to know your judgment about me is the same or not like you judge that man."

"Well, but what's your face suddenly red?" I also asked back. Seeing Delano's suddenly awkward demeanor in front of me.

While Delano still did not admit it, a waiter came in with the trolley he was carrying, and began to present our orders one by one to the table.

"Good fun, Mister, Miss."

"Yes, thank you, Ma'am." Delano still threw away his gaze. I don't know why he didn't see me at all when his face still looked red to this day.

"No, you don't want to wear this ring!" my instantaneous door made Delano look back at me.

"No, until you answer my question."

Seeing her pouting face, I became powerless to hold the smiles from both corners of my lips until they expanded and it made Delano even more upset.

"Well, if you don't answer."

"Who is Lee Jong-suk?" Delano has a face full of question marks. He was not familiar with the name I just mentioned.

"You don't know, No. That's the Korean artist who just finished playing the movie Big Mouth yesterday, at that time you'll never nemenin I watched the movie. Did you forget, No?"

For a moment I saw Delano speechless. He must have been thinking about the time he accompanied me in watching the last episode of Big Mouth and that time, he said, I was so sad that I didn't stop crying because the female lead in the movie had to die because of her illness.

"Oh that one, of course I remember! How can I forget, because I finished the trash of tissue that was scattered on the floor because you didn't stop crying at that time."

"So, you're not sincere!" I put on a sullen face to make Delano look scared. Yeah, that's how Delano is, he doesn't want me to get mad at him. Even if our phone call was suddenly cut off unilaterally by me, he would have immediately come to my place of business and asked what mistake he had made.

"Yes, no need to talk about that. Now change you who should answer my question, did you accept my proposal?" Delano quickly switched our conversation and asked enthusiastically without taking his eyes off my face.

"Put the ring first!" I pulled a ring from his hand to give it to Delano. After he picked it up, without lingering, Delano directly pinned the ring on the ring finger on my left hand. It made my heart flower again and this time I could feel the vibrations in my heart until my eyes immediately started to fog.

"Thank you, No. Thank you for finally providing certainty in our relationship."

"So, did you accept my proposal?"

"How can I refuse it? Not that I've asked you to put this ring on, that means, I'm willing to be your wife, No." Finished saying that, the tears that had been shed in my eyes finally fell and began to wet my cheeks.

"Why are you crying, Lissa?" He asked as he brought his body closer to me. I know Delano must be worried because he can't see me crying.

"The tears of happiness, No. I'm happy because in the end I can be at this point. The point where I feel very happy. When I went to jail, I thought that my world was over and there would be no more happiness. Everyone will hate me because I am an ex-convict and there will definitely not be a single man willing to accept my flaws."

"No, don't cry anymore! There is no need to remember the past because everything has passed, Lissa. Now that I promise you, from today on I will always make you happy, no matter how hard the road I have to go."

Delano wiped the tears on both of my cheeks so gently. Until I can really feel the sincerity of the touch of his fingers that are now still rubbing my face.
