Diary of Fragile Heart (Spin of Loving You Too Long)

Gladwin was surprised when the spoon in Flavia’s hand fell. However, the amused smile didn’t leave his face. His girl. No, his wife stared at him with her beautiful round eyes. Gladwin realized he hadn’t introduced himself to Flavia since his wife became aware.

Yes, wife. Flavia had officially become his wife ten days ago. Right in the morning on the fourth day the girl was in care.

After getting permission from his brother-in-law who was now his father-in-law, the next day Gladwin married Flavia in the hospital while Flavia was still in a coma.

There were Antony, Claire, and Abigail. While Jonas and Eijaz served as witnesses to their marriage. The wedding took place in secret. Not even his mother and elder brothers were informed. From Gladwin’s family, only Abigail and Claire knew.

Flavia still looked at Gladwin with her adorable surprised expression. Gladwin knew in that room it wasn’t just Flavia who was surprised by his words, but also three other women. His mother, Julie Hampton. The woman chasing him, Phoebe Madsen, and Phoebe’s mother, Penelope Madsen.

“Gladwin, what do you mean by your words?” Phoebe’s restrained shout came out. Gladwin turned, looking at her with a sardonic smile.

“What do you mean?” He replied, choosing to feign ignorance.

“Y-you married her?” Phoebe’s finger pointed at Flavia. Gladwin nodded in agreement. Phoebe looked accusingly at Julie Hampton. And so did Penelope Madsen.

Both women looked disappointed. Gladwin suspected his mother had made a promise that he couldn’t keep, thus disappointing the people who had trusted him.

“Gladwin! You must be joking!” The woman shouted. Anger was clearly emanating from her.

“I’m not joking, Mom. Didn’t I tell you that night that I love Flavia and will marry her?” Gladwin turned and saw his wife’s face flushing. Not because she was angry like his mother, but more because she was embarrassed. It seemed the girl was surprised to hear the word ‘love’ that Gladwin uttered loudly.

“But?” Julie Hampton still stared at her son with disbelief.

“I married her when she was in a coma,” Gladwin announced. “The day after I left your house, I fulfilled my promise.” He retorted sharply. “You should be praising me for acting quickly. Didn’t you previously urge me to get a wife as soon as possible? And Flavia is now my wife. She’s already your daughter-in-law. Whether you like it or not, Mama, I don’t care. What matters is I have received Antony and Claire’s blessing as her parents.” He answered proudly.

Gladwin noticed Phoebe glaring at Flavia with anger and hatred that the woman didn’t bother to conceal.

“Whatever you said to Flavia before the accident happened, I don’t care. I don’t even need your apology.” Gladwin spoke again with his cold tone, causing Phoebe to look back at him with a pale face. “Do you think I don’t know that you deliberately met her and said something nasty to her? I know, even though I wasn’t there.”

The blood seemed to drain from Phoebe’s face. She stared at Flavia with piercing eyes. Gladwin understood; the woman must have thought Flavia was the one who complained.

“My wife is not a complainer. On the contrary, she’s the most patient woman I’ve ever known. And my wife needs to rest again, I hope you can all go home now.” He subtly dismissed them.

“I don’t believe it,” Phoebe rejected softly. “You’re just making it up, aren’t you? Because she lost her memory, that’s why you’re saying you’re married.” She accused harshly. “How could you get married but your mother doesn’t know about it?” Gladwin just shrugged nonchalantly.

“Consider it a surprise, if you will,” he replied flatly. “But if you really want to know, Abigail will provide proof of our marriage to you later.”Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

And without being asked, Abigail responded, “The video has already been sent to Aunty’s phone. I didn’t want to show it using my phone because I didn’t want to risk you getting angry and throwing my phone away just like that.” Abigail answered indifferently. “Considering how expensive phones are, it would be a waste if the understudy actor gets emotional and doesn’t accept reality, then starts throwing things.” She whispered, causing Flavia to bite her lip to hold back laughter.

Phoebe turned around, reaching for her phone from her bag, and within a minute, the woman growled in anger. Gripping her phone until her fingers turned white. The two women standing on either side of her, who had watched the video in silence, now looked wide-eyed.

“I told you I wasn’t lying,” Gladwin said again. “I won’t apologize to you, Mom. Because I know my choice wasn’t wrong. If you want to be angry, I don’t care. On the contrary, I’ll prove to you that your assumption about Flavia is wrong.” Gladwin replied, still maintaining his flat demeanor.

Julie Hampton’s face reddened even more. Anger, sadness, and disappointment were clearly visible. The woman was angry for being deceived, sad because her son didn’t care about her request. And disappointed because her son didn’t include her in something as important and sacred as this.

Gladwin’s marriage was the last marriage among her sons. And Julie Hampton lost her chance to marry her son according to her wishes.

“Mama, please go home. Abigail will accompany you. Let me be alone with my wife. I hope you understand my wish,” Gladwin now completely shifted his attention to Flavia. “The soup has gotten cold, Darling. Would you like to get a fresh one?” He asked gently, very different from the attitude he displayed towards his guests just a few moments ago.

Flavia, still unable to digest the information and processing it in her mind, simply shook her head and reached for her spoon again. Eating seemed to be the best option for her right now.

Abigail glanced at the three women in front of her. She knew they were disappointed. But somehow, seeing their disappointed faces made her happy.

Even though she wanted to lash out at her uncle for shamelessly using her as bait for these three she-wolves. But Abigail just accepted it. Facing these three women was easier than explaining to Flavia who Gladwin was and what complicated issues they were facing.

Gladwin’s longing for the girl who was now his rightful wife was much greater than his anger for being used as bait by the man. And because Abigail loved challenges so much, she awaited the possibility of a verbal showdown between them in a moment.

“I’m truly disappointed in you, Abigail,” Julie Hampton began to speak.

Look, not even five minutes passed, and Abigail’s prediction immediately came true. Okay, the drama was about to begin. Abigail only glanced briefly at her grandmother without any desire to apologize in her mind. But out of respect for her grandmother, she reluctantly uttered it.

“I’m sorry, Grandma,” she replied flatly.

As simple as that. Abigail said without wanting to repeat the same sentence or give a lengthy explanation about why she didn’t say anything to her grandmother.

“Why does the journey to the parking lot suddenly feel so far?” Abigail thought irritably as they stood waiting for the elevator doors to open.
