#2 Chapter 44
He nodded slowly.
“Courner’s wealth is very massive and the heir is important to their family. That is the most important of all. So it is normal for their family to have three to five wives.”
Ericka sighed. Her lips parted. He couldn’t believe it as he looked at Van. Three to five ?!
“I don’t know that. I just know … everyone stay away from him because of his behavior …” Ericka said softly
Van laughed seriously. “Everyone’s afraid of him not just because of his hot -headedness. Rumor has it he’s associated in underground activities. It’s just a rumor but many still believe it. Well, mafia or not. It’s not important. The important thing now is you Celestine.”
“Is that why … papa is against Alexendris? Is that why … Hera warned me?” he whispered
Van heard that and spoke immediately.
“You can still love him, though, you can’t just love him, be the mother of his children and be his wife.”
Her chest tightened. Ericka turned to look at him in tears for him.
“Celestine-”
The three of them stopped when they heard Alexendris’s deep voice. They looked at the door at the same time. The two of them met eyes. The corner of his lip lifted as he looked at Van.
“Who said there is someone else who can be the mother of my child? I will only impregnate one woman …”
Alexendris looked at him.
“It’s you woman and you can’t escape from that.”
He FELT Ericka squeezing his side as the tension rose around him. The two men inside her house are measuring their gaze.
“Are you sure about that?” Van’s defiant question
Wherever Van”s courage to challenge comes from. It’s up to him. He was used to Alexendris looking like that but their situation is different now. He didn’t feel there.
“You’re challenging me?” regal raising Alexendris’s eyebrow
Van stood up so that he and Alexendris could wait. He secretly frowned at the edge of the young man’s eyes.
“Yes, challenging but not me.”
The three of them frowned at Van’s answer. Who is challenging? His forehead furrowed even more as Van looked at him.
“If Celestine is one.”
He was stunned. When? How? He bit his mouth. Siraulo! He still has it!
“He just wants to have reassurance.” continued Van
“That’s not what I’ve heard earlier.” said Alexendris
“Don’t believe then. Come on, Ericka. I still have an emergency.” Van hurriedly walked away
Ericka realized next to him. He couldn’t look at Alexendris. He looked at Ericka blankly.
“We’re leaving. Be careful!”
He watched Ericka grab her bag in a hurry. Her eyes widened slightly as she remembered.
“Come on Ericka!”
He forgot about Alexendris first. He took a piece of paper and a ballpoint pen and wrote a number. He handed it to Ericka.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
“What’s this?” friend asked
“Aren’t you broken? Call it that. It’s a love expert.” he replied
Ericka’s forehead furrowed.
“What’s his name?”
“Stephen.” he replied. “Stephen Dela Cruz. That’s great. Just introduce yourself. Tell me your friend.”
“Okay.” Ericka just shrugged and left
He was swallowed up as silence enveloped the surroundings. He turned to the young man who was staring at him intently.
“B-why?” he asked as if he didn’t know
He remained where he was when Alexendris approached him. He looked up so that their eyes met.
“It’s sorry you should be saying woman, not why.” its serious promise. “You broke your promise to me.”
“W-I have no choice! That’s my dad, Alexendris.” his defense. “Then you’re still at fault for me. What did … Van say? What does that mean?”
The young man was silent for a few seconds. “It’s nothing.”
“Really?” he asked sarcastically. “Would you like someone else to tell me what your family law they say.”
“Let’s not talk about it-”
“Do you want the two of us to separate?” he asked quickly
Her blue eyes deepened. Alexendris’s face quickly darkened but it spoke. He cupped her face. The eyes staring at him were still serious. The young man’s gaze was so intense that even their conversation was heated. Her heart was beating abnormally.
“I won’t chase you here if I just separate you too. I’ll fix it so don’t piss me off woman. I might tore this damn clothes off you.”
Alexendris’s voice dropped to the ground. It’s like holding back.
“You won’t like that, or you would love it?”
