THE PROXY BRIDE (ENGLISH VERSION)

WHEN Edward woke up in the morning, he groped his side, but he couldn’t find anything. He turned around and looked for his wife.

“Is that a dream what happened last night, impossible?” He looked at himself under the blanket. He was naked. He looked to find his wife, but he didn’t see her. He took the pillow that his wife used and smelled it.”Yeah, it’s real. Maybe she’s in the bathroom. ”

He got up without even bothering to cover his naked body and headed for the bathroom, but there was no one inside.

He went inside the bathroom to take a shower. “She’s not here, maybe she’s downstairs already,” he said.

At that moment, Rossana was on the balcony, looking into the distance. There were many questions in her mind.

Is it always like this? He will only take me whenever he is drunk and not in the right mind, so he can do it, “she sighed deeply.

After Edward took a shower, he just covered himself with a towel when he left the bathroom and Rossana entered the room.

Rossana was drawn to where she was standing, her eyes straight at her husband.

Edward didn’t notice Rossana, who was at the door. He was just wiping his wet hair.

Rossana stared at him and simply looked at her husband from head to toe.

His body is well built; his abs are average, but it would be nice to caress those abs, but she can’t even touch them.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Edward had noticed Rossana already and noticed how she was looking at him. “You will not be satisfied if you just stare at it, Rossana. You can touch it after all. You have a right to this body because I am your husband,” he suddenly said.

Rossana immediately turned her gaze to others. She felt ashamed of it.

“I-I’m going out,” she said in a daze.

“Aren’t you going to do what I said? Come here, touch it. I’m already allowing you, my wife. ” Edward teased his wife.

“N—no,” she answered and seemed to want to run out of their room.

Okay, you might think that I’m stingy. That’s why I made an offer to you. I know you’re embarrassed to do what you want. Do it… remember I’m not drunk now. ”

Rossana shook her head and quickly left their room.

Edward laughed out loud as she made Rossana hear his laughter.

Rossana ran down the stairs right when Auntie Nena was going up.

“Oh, Rossana. Why did you run as if a mad dog was chasing you? “Take it easy, you might fall. ” The lady reminded her.

“Oh—I—I’m thirsty, auntie Nena, that’s why I’m running!” Yeah, she was, because what she saw made her thirsty.

Is that so? Go straight to the swimming pool. Your breakfast is ready. I will call sir Edward while the breakfast is still hot. ”

“Alright Auntie Nena, thank you.”

The lady went up to the room when she was in front the door. “Sir Edward!” she called.

“What is that, Auntie Nena?” Edward answered her.

“Come downstairs, the breakfast is ready in the swimming pool area.”

“Alright Auntie Nena, I’ll be there.”

“Hurry up, so the food doesn’t get cold.”

“Yes, Auntie, I’m coming. You may go first. ” He was still changing his clothes.

The lady came down for the second time, and Edward followed Auntie Nena.

“Where’s Rossana?” Edward asked about Auntie because she wasn’t there.

“Well, I told her she’d be right here; maybe she’ll be in the kitchen for a while; I’ll call her.”

Edward nodded to the lady.

“Rossana,” Auntie Nena called her while she entered the kitchen.

“Why, Auntie Nena?” Rossana answered as she brewed her coffee.

Oh, why are you here? Didn’t I say that you have to go to the swimming pool? Your husband is looking for you. Go there quickly.

“Yes, auntie Nena,” she replied, but the truth was that she didn’t want her husband to see her; she simply went to the kitchen to eat. But he was looking for her. Even though she didn’t want to face him, she must have. If not, maybe he got angry again and shouted at her.

Edward looked at Rossana as she came near him.

“Sit down,” he said as she approached.

Rossana immediately sat down.

By the way, I’m going to call Mica to bring your things here. And today is the house blessings for this house, so she needs to know so she can prepare.

Rossana’s answer was a nod. Edward looked at his wife.

Rossana continued to swallow her food on her plate. She had to finish fast because she felt that the person in front of her was looking at her.

Edward frowned at what his wife did. “Take it easy to eat, you’re going to choke,” he reminded her.

Because of what he said, Rossana immediately finished eating.

“You’re done?”

She nodded.

“I think you’ve become dumb, Rossana. You just nod. Answer me when I’m talking to you, can you! ” Edward said with a little irritation.

Rossana was about to nod again. Luckily, she stopped herself.

“I-I’m done. Can I leave you now?”

“Where are you going?”

“I have something to do in the room.”

“Go.”

Rossana immediately stood up and left.

After eating, Edward went to the kitchen to talk to the couple.

“Auntie Nena, has everything been done okay? Is that catering you talked about okay? ” The old lady told him that she knew someone who could cook well, so she recommended it to the boss.

“Yes, sir, I called earlier and they are getting ready.”

Edward nodded. “I’ll leave you for now.”

The couple nodded to Edward.

They have been busy all day because of their house blessing. By afternoon, their guests had arrived.

“Edward, son, why did you not tell me that you built your house?” Edward’s mother asked him immediately when she entered the house.

“I was going to give this as a surprise gift to She-her, mommy.”

“That stupid woman, I thought she was a decent woman. She even beat a—prostitute!” Emphasize the last point.

“Let’s not talk about her mommy. Where is daddy?”

“He told me,” He cannot make it to come here, son, because he has an important meeting tonight with his business partners. ”

Edward just nodded at his mother at what she said.

Rossana was just in a corner because she didn’t know any of the people there.

Edward’s mother looked around her eyes looking for someone when she didn’t see what she wanted to see. “Where is that woman?” she asked her son.

“Who, mommy?”

“That Proxy Bride, who else, son?” The lady said emphatically the first word mentioned.

Edward stared at his mother because of what she said.

“Don’t look at me like that son, what I said was right, she’s just a proxy of that stupid woman!” She  feel annoyed at what she said.

“Mommy, smile. It will ruin your beauty. Go ahead.”

“Who can smile, son? Because the person you will be living with in this house is a fraud!”

“Mommy smiles okay, there are my guests and the priest.”

“Okay, fine,” and she smiled with effort.

After the house blessing, Edward fed and talk for awhile to the priest before leaving.

“Why isn’t she here yet?” Is Rossana referring to Mica?

“Oh, Rossana. Are you waiting for someone? Why are you hiding here?” Auntie Nena pays attention to her.

“I’m not hiding Auntie Nena, because I’m shy and I don’t know anyone there so I’m just stayed here.”

“Oh, who are you waiting for?”

“It’s Mica, Auntie. When she’s here, I’ll be okay because I know someone already.”

“Oh okay, Rossana, I’ll leave you for now. I’ll just look at the food that arrived.”

“Alright, auntie, I’m fine here,” she answered.

Edward looked for Rossana. When he saw Anita Nena, he asked.

“Auntie Nena, where is Rossana?”

“There, she’s waiting for someone in the corner,” she said.

He left her and approached his wife. “Thank you, auntie Nena,” he left her.

When Rossana saw Edward approaching her, she was nervous again.

“Rossana, come with me. I’ll introduce you to my friends.”

“Could it not be, Edward?”

“Just come with me.” He started walking back to the guests. If she didn’t do what he wanted, he became enraged.

Everyone looked at Rossana as she approached them. They looked at her up and down. She felt very shy at that moment. And she feels like she’s a bad person because of the way they look at her. She couldn’t stand their judgmental looks, so she turned her back and started walking.

“Ro—.” Edward didn’t continue to call his wife because his mother stopped him.

“Son, let her know, that’s the attitude of people who have no manners or are uneducated and low class!” Rossana heard what Edward’s mother said.

She was in the kitchen, and that’s where her tears fell.

“What happened, Rossana?”

Rossana turned to see who spoke behind her.

“Mica, thank you for coming.” She hugged her immediately.

“I just arrived when I saw you enter here, so I followed you.”

Rossana couldn’t stop herself. She sobbed while clinging to Mica.

Mica felt sorry for her even before they met. She considered her a friend. because she knew she was kind.

When Edward saw Mica coming, he followed her, seeing her heading towards the kitchen. He could hear his wife crying.
