a groom shouldn’t be tired
Marco looked at the paper Letta had given him last night, drawing a faint smile. It turned out that, as Letta had said earlier, she had indeed prepared an agreement before marrying Marco. It was written there that their marriage was only a marriage on paper, without involving any feelings for each other.
For the first point, it seemed that Marco agreed. As for the second point, Marco had to give Letta freedom after they got married, and for this second point, Marco seemed a bit hesitant. Letta’s request was not specific, so this point would be discussed with Letta later. The third point, after giving birth, Letta did not want to use a babysitter. She would take care of the child alone. That was something Marco might agree to. The fourth point, after the marriage and if they wanted a divorce, the custody of the child should go to Letta’s hands. Marco would also have to discuss this with Letta, as according to the plan he had made, Letta would only meet her child until the child was born. Marco would use all means to make it happen, as he would take care of his child with Arabella in the future.
That made Marco fall silent. Was he truly confident with the plan he had previously thought through 100%? However, for some reason, there was a slight hitch in Marco’s heart at this moment, making him sigh deeply. Until finally, the door to his office opened without a knock, indicating the presence of Arabella, who now approached him.
“Are you busy?” Arabella asked as she walked closer to Marco, making Marco immediately put on a charming smile to welcome his fiancee’s arrival.
“No, I’m just going to attend a few meetings later. For now, my workload isn’t as much as before,” Marco said, making Arabella quickly plant a kiss on Marco’s lips.
“Of course, a groom shouldn’t be tired, right?” Arabella said, a hint of sarcasm evident in her tone, making Marco pull Arabella’s waist to sit on his lap.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“That won’t affect my work. Besides, it’s just a marriage to make it official, without any extravagant celebration. It won’t take up much of my time. Besides, after the wedding, I’ll be busy with work again, so don’t think of the marriage as something I’ll do with you,” Marco said, making Arabella roll her eyes lazily.
“But still, a marriage is still a marriage. Just hearing it, I really feel very uncomfortable,” Arabella said, making Marco embrace her waist even tighter.
“Come on, this is the only way to ensure my flesh and blood doesn’t slip away from me. I can’t lose him,” Marco said, making Arabella sigh deeply.
“You have to remember your promise, that your marriage is only until the baby is born, and you’re done,” Arabella said, making Marco nod his head.
“Of course, I have planned it carefully,” Marco answered softly, before sealing their lips. Marco pulled Arabella’s waist even closer, feeling her sweet lips play between his full lips, making Marco savor it firmly. However, Arabella released their lip lock, making Marco furrow his brow.
“Why?” Marco asked.
“Did you also kiss her like this on your first night together?” Arabella asked, making Marco rub his face harshly.
“Come on, I don’t even remember what it was like that night. I only remember her as you. After that, I didn’t feel anything,” Marco said, making Arabella immediately fold her arms and look at him with discomfort.
“Then why are you so sure that the woman carrying your child is really her? Who knows, another woman might be the one who’s currently, who knows where?” Arabella said.
“I know for sure, it’s her. You know that my intuition has never been wrong, so just relax. After the child is born, I will immediately do a DNA test to prove that it’s my flesh and blood. And after that, we’ll only have to wait a few months before the child is born, and we’ll soon proceed with the wedding,” Marco said, making Arabella feel uncertain about all his plans.
“Are you sure you won’t be involved in any way in your marriage?” Arabella asked, making Marco furrow his brow.
“Involved in what way do you mean?” Marco asked, making Arabella click her tongue in annoyance as she got up from her fiance’s lap.
“You know, don’t you, that two people who haven’t known each other will gradually change because of their frequent encounters. Are you sure you won’t be attracted to her?” Arabella asked, making Marco immediately startled.
“Come on, how could I be attracted to her when I have you, who are now mine. You are far beyond her. For me, having you is enough,” Marco said, making the corners of Arabella’s lips twitch. However, Arabella immediately hid it, not wanting Marco to know that his praise had warmed her heart.
“Men often say that, but look at the evidence. You even have a child with her,” Arabella said again, making Marco sigh.
“Didn’t I already say that I was truly under the influence of alcohol at the time, and I also thought it was you. But as it turned out, I was wrong. That was my only mistake, so never bring it up again,” Marco said, making Arabella shrug nonchalantly.
“Then, will you invite me and my family to your wedding party?” Arabella asked, making Marco silent for a moment.
“If your family is willing, and you are, of course, I need you to be there. It’s proof that I really married her just for my child, because I know your family seems to still doubt my decision, including you, right?” Marco said, making Arabella not deny it. Of course, who would want to hear their fiance marrying someone else before them?
“You relax, everything will go as our initial plan. We will soon get married, only this time you will immediately become the mother of my child. How about it, you won’t mind, right?” Marco asked, making Arabella nod weakly without commenting, as Marco pulled her into his embrace.
“I believe you’re a woman who will truly love anything that exists, including a part of me. I’m happy to have you, and forgive me for that big mistake,” Marco said, kissing Arabella’s exposed shoulder, while Arabella remained silent, accepting Marco’s embrace. For some reason, Arabella felt that accepting a child who wasn’t her own flesh and blood made her truly not have any previous plans, and it wasn’t on her lifelong list of plans. Could she do it or not, Arabella wondered.
