CHAPTER 38
IRIS LOU POV
“What do you think about this wedding gown? Isn’t this one pretty?” He asked while still holding his chin and looking at the wedding gown on his laptop. It’s late at night and anastasia has been taken to the airport earlier and it looks like the child has also returned home to the Hamilton fam mansion.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“Why are you so stressed out finding a gown for me shouldn’t I be the one looking for a gown for myself?” I asked him with a laugh.
“I’m just helping you because I also want you to be the most beautiful bride I’ll ever see as we turn in front of the altar and watch you slowly approach me.” He said with a smile while still looking at the wedding gown in the picture. I could read the joy in his eyes as he turned to look at me, I was just watching him while sitting on the bed next to him.
“I think I’ll just call the best designer here in Italy tomorrow so that your gown will be unique, the type you don’t have the same, what do you think?” He said and look at me.
“Hmmm…. good idea, and stop looking at those gowns on your laptop. Let’s just go to sleep because it’s too late.” Laughing I told him.
“Okay, because you said I’ll follow you.” He answered before turning off the laptop and closing it, he put his laptop on the side table and took the remote before turning off the light so it was dark but it was clear gradually because of the moonlight coming from outside the veranda.
I saw him lie down and his arm was already on the couch indicating that I lay down there, so I lay down on his arm before hugging him, I felt that he kissed me on the forehead before I closed my eyes.
“I know you’re just forced but you’re ready to fight until my last breath.” He said but I couldn’t understand because I was drowsy. In the morning I woke up with his leg resting on me so I slowly removed it before sitting down and standing up before walking to the bathroom to wash and brush my teeth.
after I went to the bathroom I went out but I still saw him sleeping soundly while hugging the pillow tightly as if he didn’t want to let go so he just shook me before walking out of his room. When I came out, I almost screamed when I saw Aunt Carmine walking right in front of Cleopard’s room.
“Ayyieee, don’t tell me you didn’t sleep in your own room here in our mansion? And just choose to sleep beside my son?” Because she said that I blushed and bowed.
“Don’t worry you’ll be my soon to be daughter in law by the way, let’s go downstairs and help me to prepare some breakfast.” She said that’s why I nodded before we went down together.
“You know Iris hija, I’m so happy that you give chance to my son, because if you didn’t for sure my son would be a psychopath.” Laughing she said as we walked towards the kitchen.
“Tita that won’t gonna happen.” I answer her.
“Your wrong because that thing already happen before when you left greece before hahaha.” She said next and when we reached the kitchen, she started to get what she was going to cook from the ref.
“Really tita? Would you tell me more about that because I’m a little bit corious.” I said.
“Okay but first while I’m telling you what happened before please put some plate in the table.” She said so I was ready too, took the plates and fork spoon and put them neatly on the table.
“When he found out that you run away from greece he burst out his anger to our precious wall and vases.” Sh said, because of what my aunt said, I don’t know the meaning of anything but breaking their vases here in the mansion, I just shook while arranging the glasses on the table.
“He was almost handed over to the doctors and nurses of the mental hospital here in Italy because of the strange thing he showed back then, who wouldn’t be afraid if your only child suddenly went crazy and punched the wall with his fist and not just he still has that vase in the living room. ” Laughing, she said while cooking, I was not surprised by her story because I got more attention when she spoke Tagalog.
“Auntie, how did you learn Tagalog?” Astonished I asked her.
“Hija, I’ve been learning for a long time, and do you know that it took me a few more months just to learn to speak the Filipino language, at first my mouth was too slang when I spoke in the Filipino language but it didn’t take long to get used to it.” She said that’s why I nodded.
“IRIS! WIFE! WHERE ARE YOU ?!” I almost let go of the container of juice I was holding because of that shout I knew who that voice was. I put the juice on the center table of the dining room to go to cleopard in the living room because there, I heard his shout but I was about to go out the kitchen door when aunt carmine suddenly spoke.
“Opps hija, it’s up to you to file it because it looks like it’s already cooked. I’ll take care of my crazy son. It looks like he’s still dreaming.” She said so I smiled and nodded, she lowered his spoon before leaving the kitchen.
The food was prepared on the table as well as the glasses were also filled with juice and almost nothing was missing but aunt and uncle as well as bea and cleopard, when I made sure that everything was okay I was sitting in a chair to just wait for them to come to eat breakfast, but as time went on no one came so I thought of going out of the kitchen. When I came out of the kitchen I saw my aunt laughing at the main door and she looked like someone was watching the door, so I corious approached her.
“Auntie, what are you doing at the door?” I asked her in surprise when I could get close to her.
“Hija look at my son, his face is priceless hahaha, I don’t know that he will chase you at the airport even if I’m just joking.” She said so I was surprised to look outside and I saw cleopard approaching us, I looked at him in short pants and it was just a white shirt, I could see sweat dripping down his neck and his eyes I could not read because it’s filled with different emotions as he turned to look at me straightly.
When he got close to where my aunt and I were, he suddenly pulled me and hugged me tightly, even though I was surprised, I hugged him back.
“Damn it, I thought you already left me again.” He said softly and I heard him breathe deeply in my ear.
“How do you think I’m leaving?” Astonished I asked him, before letting go of his hug and looking at the whole he was sweating so hard na like running a very distant desert.
“Mom said, you left to go back to the Philippines, that’s why I immediately thought your still in the airport, I almost flew my car to get there just to stop you but I’ll just know that you’re still here.” He was annoyed and turned his gaze to his mom who was now at peace while looking at us.
“Really, auntie? That was epic, I hope you just said that you had a plan to prank pards earlier so you let me just serve in the kitchen.” I was reluctant to tell my aunt.
“Sorry Iris, I just want to tease my son.” Auntie carmine said.
“By the way let’s take our breakfast I’m just going to call my Federico,” said my aunt and turned around before going up the stairs and it looked like she was going to call my uncle upstairs, I turned to look at cleopard who was now also looking at me .
“Let’s go.” He told me to walk to the kitchen first but he suddenly pulled my arm and I was not ready to prepare it so I stoned to his wide chest.
“Please don’t leave me.” He said softly.
“I won’t.” I answered him before standing properly in front of him and straightly looked into his puffy eyes.
“I won’t leave you again, you will always be my home and my final destination.” I told him, I saw how his eyes were stained with shining stars when he heard what was said.
“It’s really make me happy and make me more want you as my wife very soon, when I heard from you the word I will always be your home and be your final destination.” He said and his eyes were full of love, I thought how I was able to hurt this kind of man who did nothing but break his heart when it was crushed, I don’t know if the second time I will hurt him again.
