Dale’s Arrange Wife (ENGLISH VERSION)

“Hi, Mr. Dy.” A woman at my age approached me. If I’m not mistaken, she’s one of the staff at the studio base on the uniform she’s wearing. “Miss Lauren is still inside, sir, you can wait for her in the dressing room.” I just nodded at her then headed to Lauren’s dressing room.

Everyone knows about me and Lauren. It’s all in the news. One of my dad’s strategies so the investors will trust Lauren’s family. Only her manager knows and her agency knows about her and Hendrick but they are protecting her image as well so it doesn’t come out either.

I entered the dressing room where I often hang out when I pick her up. I’ve gotten used to waiting for her because sometimes Lauren’s time is not accurate. Even when we were just engaged it was like this. I don’t do anything either so it’s ok with me. Besides, I’m with Kiki so it’s not boring for me if I will wait. I gave Tintin and Lalat quality time because Kiki was abusive.

I roll my eyes inside Lauren’s dressing room. Is it too obvious that she’s too in love with his boyfriend who has a child with someone else. Almost everything here is that man’s face.

I can’t say bad things against him. His handsome and nice and a perfect catch. But if it’s not stupid, he has a girlfriend but gets pregnant with another woman. Lauren is more beautiful and sexy than her.

After all, all men are like that. If there is an opportunity to find someone else they will grab it. It’s really strong if you don’t give in to temptation. One out 100 maybe.

“Hi, how long have you been here?” Lauren greeted ma and kissed me on my cheek.

“Just now I arrived, ten minutes I guess.”

“I see. Hi, dear flirtatious Kiki.” But Kiki ignored her. “Attitude, I’ll make you a Siopao.”

“Hi.” Hendrick greeted me and I gives him a nod and so do I. Lauren clung her arms to Hendrick and kiss him who also just entered and also looks like it’s from the pictorial. I just sat watching them both. It is like I am watching a cliché movie in front of me.

“What time will you pick me up tomorrow?” Lauren asked Hendrick.

“I can’t promise, babe. Isabelle wants me to come with her to bring Max in the hospital.”

“Whatever.” Lauren turns but Hendrick holds her and hugs her from behind. I wanted to laugh but I held it back. There’s that pleading face again. She really thought that her boyfriend would feel sorry for her. Anger now, tenderness later.

Hendrick is a good catch, I swear. Handsome, beautiful body, and rich. He looks smart too but I’m still not impressed with him. In addition to not being able to stand Lauren, he also has another woman and gets her pregnant. Aside from that— who man would agree that your girlfriend will get married to someone else after all?

Didn’t he think I was still a man? What if something happens to us? He wouldn’t know that because he wasn’t there with us.

Let’s say he is confident. But nah, if you love her, you won’t let her with someone else in the room while you’re away. The word trust issue is still in vogue. That’s not a lack of trust but caution.

“Don’t get angry promise I will catch up,” the usual that I always hear on him.

“You always said that.” How many times have I heard that from her too? Not only in front of them but also at home when she talks to Hendrick on the phone.

“Promise, I will.”

“Promise?” I can’t stop laughing so I look away. If I had seen this on the show instead of being thrilled, I might have just thrown the TV. Besides, I know that Hendrick is lying to Lauren.

“I swear, give me a kiss.” I don’t know what happened because I was bent over. But one thing is for sure—-Lauren is tricked by her boyfriend. After a few moments, Hendrick calls me. “I’ll go, Dale. Thank you for dropping and picking Lauren.”

“No worries, it’s a small thing.” He gave me a nod and then kissed Laureen’s lips again and then left.

“What?” Lauren asked when Hendrick finally got out. I shook my head with my mouth still closed. “What is it, hubby?” Her forehead was already wrinkled and she was obviously angry.

I laughed hard to release the laughter I had been holding back. Fuck, I can’t help it. I really couldn’t help but laugh at her. I know her as a brat and fearless but when it comes to her boyfriend——nah, never mind.

“What is your problem?!” She screamed this time.

“Sorry.” I wipe my tears while still laughing. “I can’t help myself but to laugh. You are too fragile when it comes to your boyfriend. I can even give you a loyalty award.”

“You’re crazy!”

“Just stating the fact, wife.”

“You’re not funny anymore, Dwayne Dale.” It looks like it’s already crooked and doesn’t call me hubby.

“I know but I’m happy with you.”

“Don’t pick me if you’re just teasing me.”

“I’m not teasing you. I’m not looking after you, right kiki?”

“Meow.”

“See.”

“Shut up, Kiki!” But after a while, she also sat next to me then sighed and looked at me.

“What’s with the sad face, wife?” I will ask.

“Am I that fool?”This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Huh?”

“Am I that stupid to make a fool because of Hendrick?” I sat up and smiled at her.

“Everyone who falls in love becomes a fool. You’re not alone. Some people even do bad things just because of love. Well at least you tortured yourself. Then you’re not that stupid because you still know how to argue. That’s just you’re too soft when it comes to him.”

“You’re terrible,” she complained. “But you know, hubby. I really love that asshole.”

“Obviously Lauren, don’t state it with me because I can see it. Go ahead, just get dressed and I’ll take you somewhere so you won’t hurt too much and your boyfriend didn’t choose you.”

“Let’s not go home, you fool.” But I laugh.

“Alright, stand there and I’ll threat you a dinner, I’ll fill you up so you won’t feel bad.” But she only stares at me. “Why?”

“Thank you for being a good friend, Dwayne Dale. I did not make a mistake in agreeing to marry you because I found a friend in you. At least after the contract that was agreed upon by both sides, my sacrifice was not wasted because I had a friend.”

“Yes, don’t be dramatic and I’ll eat you.”

“I hope even if we break up and have a real love life, we’ll still be friends, right?” I cup her face and smile at her.

“Yes, we will.”

“Thanks, Dwayne Dale, my hubby.” She leaned on my chest so I just caressed her head. One thing that other people didn’t know about Lauren, she’s sweet and fragile inside.
