Chapter 35
Chapter 35 Oliver led Nora to the room right after their own, he showed her where to find whatever she needed. He called the servants to carry her bag in and put them in place. “Alright, I guess everything is set, if you need anything, just hit the red button by your bedside and one of the servants will be here to attend to you.” “Alright darling,” she replied and Oliver coughed softly, he pretended like he had not heard the word darling. He turned around to leave but then paused and turned back to her. “Um, can I speak to you about something?” he asked. “Sure dear,” she said with a flirtatious smile on her face. Oliver wondered if that was how she related with every other person or if it was just him. “Okay, it is about what had happened down there earlier. Look, I understand that this was none of our fault, but you need to understand my situation. I am already married with a child and so I can’t marry you.” Oliver said “Oh,” she muttered with a sad face. Oliver thought that he must have hurt her with his words, he sighed and placed his hands on her shoulders. “Sorry if I hurt you with my blunt words, but it is the painful truth, you need to talk to my Grandfather, tell him that this marriage can’t work out. You wouldn’t want me to divorce my wife, would you? I mean, put yourself in her place?” Oliver added. From the look on her face, he believed that she was sympathizing with him, then she suddenly smiled. “You know, I was actually considering that option, but now I don’t think I can anymore,” she said. “Wait, what do you mean?” Oliver queried. “Seeing how much you fight for your wife, I realized that you are just the kind of man I want in my life, now I even want you the most.” She replied. Oliver was stunned, “Wait a minute, you gotta be kidding right?”
“No, I am serious about that, when my grandfather first told me about you, I didn’t take him seriously, I thought it was just something he would give up anytime soon, but then at his point of death, he strictly instructed that I should get married to you. After his death, I became very curious to know why my Grandfather was so adamant on me getting married to you. Then your grandfather came to me after his funeral, he reminded me of the vow he took with my Grandfather and his desire to keep the vow. That was why I came here with him. I got attracted to you at first sight, but then when you mentioned that you were married, my interest dropped. I actually wanted to let go of my Grandfather’s dying wish. Now after hearing how much you will love, care and protect your wife, I think I deserve the same too, I have been in several relationships since I was sixteen but I have never been with someone as caring as you, so now that I found you, forgive me, but I do not want to let go, I want to marry you,” she stated in finality. Oliver was left dumbstruck, her logic made no sense to him at all; it was like she had been spilling garbage for the past five minutes. “I… I… wait, what are you saying? So you want to get married to me even after knowing that I have a wife and a child?” Oliver asked and scratched his head in confusion. He wondered if this was an Asian way of thinking or if it was just her. “That is right Mr. Oliver Gomez, you are the kind of man I have been looking for my whole life, you are the one I want.” “Um, I think you need to have a good sleep, you must have had a rough day, please rest, I would leave you know.” He said and headed for the door. “Alright, good night sweetheart,” she replied and giggled. Oliver ignored her and walked out of the room. He was now certain that this would be a difficult journey, he had thought he could reason with Nora but that proved futile. So now, he had to do it on his own. He walked back to his room and was surprised to see Aria standing at the door, it seemed like she was waiting for him. “Hey Honey Bunny, why are you still awake?” he queried.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
“Well, my husband left to show some foreign lady to her room but he never came back for the next twenty minutes, do you care to explain?” she asked sarcastically. Oliver chuckled. “Relax sweetheart, I know it is difficult not to get jealous,” he said with a smile. Aria scoffed, “you wish! Just tell me what went down there, why did you spend half of the night there.” “Oh, I thought I could talk some sense into Nora, I tried to reason with her but it turns out that she is a crazy woman,” he replied and clenched his fist. Aria burst into laughter immediately, “Crazy woman, tell me more,” she giggled. “Keep it low Honey Bunny, you don’t want to stay up all night, do you? Because if my princess wakes up, I will leave you two and flee to the guest room.” Oliver joked. “Really?” she queried and crumpled her face. “You promised you would always stand by us, now you want to run?” “Hey, don’t try to make me look like the bad guy. I promised I would stand by you, but not when the baby is crying, I do need my night sleep in order to be active at work.” He laughed. “Fine, then you should relocate, there is no need to share this room at all, if you are gonna leave when the baby cries, so please leave us now.” Aria instructed. The smile on Oliver’s face disappeared, “wait, you are not serious right? You realize I was joking?” She was quiet for a while then she laughed. “Yes of course you dummy, I was just messing with you.” She replied. “I am starting to wonder, between dummy and papa bee, which one is my nickname?” She chuckled and hung her arm around his neck. “You can keep both; now tell me what went down there with you and Nora.” Oliver sighed, “Well, she is on this with Grandpa, and she backs up her decision with a crazy logic that I don’t even understand, it makes no sense.” Aria now had a serious face, she was still scared that things would not end well. Oliver noticed the look on her face, he cupped her cheeks immediately. “Listen Aria, I know things don’t look good right now, but I promise you that we would walk through this, I would always stand by your side and I would never leave you,” Oliver promised.
“I don’t know about that Stark, I really have a bad feeling about this, but I will pray my fears don’t come true,” Aria replied. “And they won’t, I will see to that. Now let’s have some sleep, I have a feeling that tomorrow would be a very stressful day.” “That makes us even,” she smiled and kissed him on the lips, and then they headed to the bed.
