THE PROXY BRIDE (ENGLISH VERSION)

“EMMA, sir, is calling you, ” said the waiter who was with them.

“Huh? Why? I have something to do and I’m going to serve. ”

“I don’t know, go and you know, sir, he doesn’t want to wait.”

“Maybe he misses you, Emma,” Rossana joked here.

“Hmp! I don’t like that bald guy. Even if he’s rich! ”

His fellow waiters laughed because of what he said.

“Hey! Emma, someone is going to report what you said that Sir will upset. ”

“What do I care if they report me? I’m not scared.”

Rossana smiled at what Emma said. Really, she was so brave.

“Hey, Rossana. After all, you don’t have anything to do, do you? Catch me first at table seven, please. I’ll change you. I’ll just go to Sir, so I tell ma’am Sheila, that you’ll be the one to serve. ”

“Alright, no problem, Emma, I’m done in the VIP room.”

Emma left quickly to go see their boss. Rossana is waiting for food to be served.

“Rossana, table seven’s order is ready,” said their supervisor.

He nodded and turned towards the cooking area.

“We don’t have our order yet. I’ll go to the comfort room first,” Edward said goodbye to Sherry.

“Okay!”

Edward immediately stood up and hurried to the comfort room.

Rossana prepares the food for table seven and puts it on the trolley.

“Okay, is that all?” she asked.

“Yes, that’s okay, Rossana,” answered the one in the kitchen.

Rossana immediately brought the food to table seven.

“How long did our order take?” Sherry said when Edward returned from the washroom.

“Just wait, there are so many customers,” he answered while looking at something on his cellphone.

As Rossana approached table seven, she suddenly felt nervous.

“Why is my heart like this? It is beating fast. It wasn’t like this just now.” she said to herself.

Rossana was carefully looking at what she was passing by, maybe because the people at the other table were busy moving. It is not good if the food she was going to serve was someone going to bang it. The food was a bit expensive if someone accidentally threw it away. If this happens, her boss will deduct from her salary.

When she arrived at table seven, “This is your order, ma’am,” she said.

Sherry and Edward automatically looked at who spoke and said her name at the same time.

“ROSSANA?”

Rossana couldn’t believe who was at the table. She didn’t know what to do. She looked back and forth between the two.

“Did—did they get back together?” she asked herself. Because of what she thought, she felt that his heart was being squeezed. And suddenly she felt dizzy again.

Sherry cursed secretly. The person she doesn’t want to see is the one who will serve them. “Can you serve our food first?” Sherry said irritably.

Rossana was confused by her sudden words.

When he held the plate of steak for Sherry, He could not lift because her hand was shaking.

“Rossana, I’ll do it,” said Emma, who had just arrived as she took the plate she was holding.

“Thank you, Emma,” she said.

“Alright, I told you to go home. You’re blushing.”

Edward just looked at Rossana. He didn’t know what to do now that he saw her. His mind is blank and his voice seems to have disappeared. But in his heart, he was happy to finally see her.

Sherry was also looking at Edward. She was watching his reaction when he saw Rossana.

“Alright, Emma, I’ll leave you.” She felt like he was getting weak.

She was about to take a step when she felt dizzy and suddenly her vision darkened.

“Emma!” she called to her companion.

“Why, Rossana?” Emma faced her.

Edward also looked at Rossana. He could clearly see Rossana’s eyes was going closed and she was about to fall.

“Rossana!” Emma shouted when she faced her.

“Rossana!” Edward got up as he caught the woman who was about to fall.

Edward immediately carries Rossana. And he quickly left the restaurant.

The customers were a bit confused by what happened, but the manager calmed them down.

“Damn!” Sherry said softly as she looked at Edward, who was leaving the restaurant.

He took the elevator down to the car park where his car was. When he arrived, he was met by security guards.

“Take my car key inside my pants,” he ordered the guard.

He didn’t doubt that he took the key from Edward’s pocket.

“Open my car,” he ordered again.

When it was opened, he put Rossana immediately inside. and jumped in his car, speeding away.

Edward took Rossana to the nearest hospital. Immediately, the nurses took care of her.

Edward was restless while waiting for the doctor and nurse to come out.

“What happened to her? Why did she lose consciousness?”

When the doctor came out to check on Rossana, he called her.

“Are you the patient’s husband, sir?” asked the doc.

Edward didn’t answer right away. He didn’t know if he would answer yes or no to the doctor.

“It’s okay. Are you with her?” the doctor asked.

“Yes, doc, how is he?”

“She’s fine, she’s regained consciousness. Come inside. I’ll tell you something.”

As soon as Edward went inside, Rossana looked at Edward. The speed of her heartbeat was fast. She even held her chest like her heart wanted to come out towards Edward. When they met, Rossana stopped herself from running to hug him and tell him how much she missed him.

“Sit down, Mr. Edward Trinidad, right?” He looked at the information sheet that Edward had written.

“Yes, doc.” He sighed and glanced at Rossana.

Rossana immediately turned her gaze to look elsewhere when she saw Edward looking at her.

“Edward, I want you to know that Mrs. Luna is pregnant. If you are not her husband, tell his husband that his wife’s pregnancy is delicate. ”

“I’m pregnant?” she even taught herself.

The doctor turned to Rossana. “Yes, Mrs. Luna, this is your first time getting pregnant.”

Rossana nodded to the doctor.

“That’s why, you didn’t realize you were pregnant, but do you notice a difference in yourself?”

“Yes, just this morning, I was dizzy and throwing up.”

“Yes, this is a sign that you’re pregnant. Congratulations.”

Edward wanted to scream at the moment because of the joy and happiness he felt at the news. “She’s pregnant?” he asked the doctor, to make sure what he heard was correct.

“Yes, her husband should know this. And say what I told you, Mr. Trinidad. ”

“I will take care of her, doc,” he replied, making the doctor frown.

Rossana was speechless. She only listens to the two.

“Okay, take her now, Mr. Trinidad, and buy everything on the prescription okay.”

Edward nodded to the doctor and he smiled at Rossana. I immediately approached her. “Let’s go,” he helped her stand up.

“I can,” Rossana protested as he held her. But Edward didn’t listen to what she said and still supported her.

Rossana could feel the warmth of Edward’s body, the contact of their bodies.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

“Slowly walking okay,” his voice is so tender.

Rossana’s heart beat faster. Why is it so caring for her? It was so different from their first meeting that he would have strangled her if he could. But when her mind thinks that Sherry is with him, She walked faster.

“Hey! I said slowly!”

Rossana ignored Edward. Jealousy attacked her. The stride is even bigger.

Edward shook his head to stop her. He wrapped his hand around her waist to stop her from walking.

People who saw them smiled. because they look so sweet.

“Uh… Edward, what are you doing?” She was suddenly embarrassed.

“What?” he asked, knowing exactly what Rossana meant.

“What, that’s your hand? Take off, people are looking at us.”

Edward smiled. ” So, what? They might be jealous; don’t mind them. ” He pressed his body even closer to Rossana.

Rossana didn’t protest anymore. Because from her mind and heart, she liked what he did.

Edward didn’t let go of her until he got into his car. Even when he got in, she was like a princess. He took care of her.

When he fastened her seatbelt, he almost suffocated, so she closed her eyes because he was so close to her, especially his face. She wanted to pull her head back but there was no space.

Edward stared at Rossana’s face. He swallowed hard because he wanted to kiss her lips, but he stopped himself. It’s not yet time for this.

“Isn’t it tight?” he asked.

Rossana shook her head to agree with him.

Edward immediately moved his body away from Rossana. Maybe he won’t be able to stop himself. He’ll kiss her.

While he was driving, the two of them didn’t say a word. Even though he wanted to ask where her house was, he couldn’t do it.

Rossana closed her eyes because she was a little dizzy from what she had done. She completely fell asleep. Maybe because of work fatigue.

because Edward doesn’t know where Rossana lives. So he brought her home.

Edward wanted to wake up Rossana when they got home, but he just decided to carry her.

“Ambo, look sir, has arrived.”

“Come with me, Nena.”

“Oh, let’s go.”

When the couple arrived at the garage, they immediately approached their boss.

“Sir, do you need help?” asked Uncle Ambo.

“Just open the door of the house, uncle Ambo.”

Auntie Nena just looked at the boss when she saw that he had taken Rossana out of the car.

“Sir?” said Auntie Nena. Apparently, he meant Rossana.

Edward nodded at her. And he walked slowly so that Rossana wouldn’t wake up.

When he entered the house, he ordered the couple.

“Go to sleep, uncle Ambo, auntie Nena,” he said in a low tone, as if he didn’t want to disturb the sleeping Rossana.

“Alright, sir, but if you need anything, just call us.” Auntie Nena responded in a low tone too.

Edward nodded. And the couple left.

Edward was halfway up the stairs when Rossana felt as if she was floating. Her spirit woke up when she opened her eyes.

“Huh? “Edward, put me down,” she said as she felt him lift her up.

“Don’t be mischievous and protest or we’ll both end up rolling down,” he answered seriously.

Rossana didn’t say a word.

When they got to the top, “Now can you put me down, Edward? I can walk.”

Edward put her down because he could feel his arm numb holding her. “You are too heavy, you know?” He stretched out his arm. Of course, he was just pretending and what he said she was heavy was a lie.

“What did I say you carried me up?” Rossana’s attitude suddenly changes.

I’m not complaining, I just said you’re heavy. Can you please stop being grumpy? I don’t want our baby to be grumpy when he comes out.”

Because of Edward’s words, Rossana realized that she was pregnant. And what does he say about our baby? He immediately accepted that the baby inside her was his. She can tell a lie to him if she wants to tell him that the baby wasn’t his. But she’s the person who doesn’t know how to tell lies.

“I am going home.”

“No, stay here first, take a rest.”

“My father is going to find me if I’m not going home tonight.”

“Did I tell you not to go home? I said rest first. I know you’re tired. I’ll bring you to your home later. ”

“No, I’m not tired anymore,” she still tried.

“Can you please listen to me, Rossana? Rest for a while, okay,” he said with irritation.

Rossana was speechless. If his tone was like that, she knew he was angry and might have shouted at her.

“Come inside so you can rest,” Edward invited as he opened the door to their previous room.

Rossana reluctantly entered, but when she looked at Edward, his forehead was already frowning, so she immediately went inside. In the short time they were together before, she already knew that he was easy to get annoyed.

“Are you hungry?” Edward asked here.

“Not at all.”

Okay, tell me if you want something to eat. I will get it for you. ”

She wanted to be thrilled by what he said, but she stopped herself. He’s really different now.

“You rest, Rossana.”

She obeyed immediately. She got into the bed.

After she lay down, Edward took the blanket and covered her.

Rossana closed her eyes. “Ahhh, this fool is so sweet, but I know why because of the baby.” she said to herself. That made her sad.

Edward stared at Rossana. He smiled suddenly.

“Edward, this is your chance to tell her how you feel about her,” his mind thought.

Rossana felt as if someone was looking at her, so she became aware. Edward turned his gaze in another direction when he saw that she had opened her eyes.

Don’t be a coward, Edward. A voice inside his mind.

Okay, I will tell her. Just give me a moment. He feels nervous.

“I’m going home. I’m restless. Maybe they’re worried about at home. ” Rossana  said and I got up at the same time.

Edward was suddenly alarmed. He took a deep breath before he talked.

“Rossana, let’s talk.”

“fo—for what?” She answered nervously as she stood up.

“Edward doesn’t know where to start. Hug her so tight, Edward. And tell him that you love her very much. Suddenly, he remembered what Yhesa told him.

Maybe that’s why Edward hugged Rossana without saying anything. Maybe it was as effective as Yhesa said.

Rossana was surprised by what he did. “Ed—Edward?”

Edward didn’t answer, but she could feel the meaning of his hug. He closed his eyes and savored the warmth of her body’s embrace.

They hugged each other for a few minutes when Edward let go of her. Rossana felt regret. She thought there was nothing else he could do, but she was wrong. She breathed when Edward touched her cheek and felt his warm palm.

“Rossana, look at me,” it ordered.

Rossana immediately noticed Edward’s eyes. They looked into each other’s eyes and talked for a while.

“I miss you so much, Rossana!” Edward sighed.

Rossana’s face showed shock at what she heard. But in her heart, she was very happy. “You’re just kidding, aren’t you?”

“I’m not. I miss you so badly. When you left home, I felt like something was missing in my life,” he said seriously.

“That I miss you is not important if there is no love, Edward.”

“Did I not miss you if you are not here!” He taught his heart.

“Why can’t you tell me if I have it?” She also taught Edward the heart.

You’re already inside my heart. I was so mad when you left. At the same time, I miss you so much. ” “Rossana Luna.”

“Why did you leave the day I left? I saw your car outside.”

“I’d like to speak with you that day.”So I can say that I love you and we will continue to be married. Then, we will get married for real. But my dad called me. I went to tell him that my mother had had a heart attack, so I left. I said to myself, “I will talk to you when I come back,” but that’s not going to happen because you have already left. I’ll try to find you. I’ve hired a private investigator. But there are none. I just pray that he will bring me to you. And he answered my prayer. ”

Rossana’s tears suddenly fell at Edward’s long explanation.

“Pssst, don’t cry, that’s bad for you.”

“You only said that because I’m pregnant! So are you sure I’m pregnant with you, huh?

“Of course I know it’s me, sweetheart. The baby was built in our quickie, “Edward smiled strangely.

Rossana also smiled when she saw Edward’s smile. “Do you really love me?” she assured him.

Edward hugged her. Feel it, Rossana, if I’m just joking with you or if I’m lying. Maybe my heartbeat doesn’t lie. Do you love me too? ” He whispered.

“You feel it; I love you, don’t you?”

“Yes, but I want to hear it from you.”

“I hate you, but I love you, Mr. Edward Trinidad!”

“Huh? Why do you hate me? ”

“Because that’s how I felt about you when we first met. You were very rude and you were yelling at me.”

Edward laughed at what he said. “Hey, who wouldn’t be angry at what you did?” I said I DO to another woman on my wedding day. But I realized that’s how I met you. ” Edward moved his body away from Rossana.

Edward suddenly knelt down. He touched Rossana’s stomach, which still had no bulge.

“Baby. I promise you, I’ll be a good father and an understanding, loving husband to your mommy. ” After saying this, he stood up again. “Rossana Luna, can you be my wife forever? It’s for real, not as a proxy bride. Please accept me as your husband now and forever! ”

Rossana’s answer was no, she couldn’t speak because of the great joy in her heart.

“Promise me, Rossana, don’t leave me again!”

Rossana will give a nod.

Edward hugged Rossana tightly. And then he picked it up.

Rossana screamed.

“Oh! Edward, what  are you do? Put put me down.”

But he didn’t listen to her. Instead, he laid her on the bed.

“Edward, what are you going to do?”

“We will do it,” he answered mischievously.

“Edward, but I’m… pregnant. I might get stuck, eh, ” she said innocently.

Edward laughed at what she said.

“Don’t worry. He won’t be stuck; we’ll just baptize him to facilitate his development. Our baby will become strong and healthy when he or she comes out of this world. ”

Rossana was about to protest, but Edward sealed her lips.
