My Destined Lover

Bob didn’t believe that Laura would want to go back to the life she had after living in the Taylor house for a while. So he was arrogant for thinking he have something on Laura.

But Laura didn’t care. She was already annoyed by Mrs. Taylor’s noise, so she responded to her mental “brother”, “If you’re really capable, send me back.” She spoke in an exasperating tone. “Then let your baby sister marry herself and go to the Browns to be a widow.”

“You …” Bob was furious. He did not expect that Laura could even say such words.

Lily knew that Laura was difficult to get along with, and was afraid that she would go back to the countryside, so she hurriedly said, “Well, Bob! That’s all. Laura is new here, so let’s be more accommodating.”

Laura couldn’t help laughing when she heard Lily’s phony words. But Bob was impressed and said, “Whenever you can be half as good as Lily, it will be considered a virtue for our family.”

Nothing deserve to hear, Laura thought. She turned around and went back to her room with a gloomy face, closing the door with a bang.

Bob was shut out and had a glum face. Mrs. Taylor and Lily were busy to relief, “She is just like this. Don’t be angry with her. Maybe she’s used to it in the countryside.”

“If she were to marry the Browns, she would be a disgrace to our family. If I had known that, I would not have arranged the marriage with the Brown family.” Bob’s face grew longer. He thought that he can’t let this wild girl, Laura, offend the Browns instead of latching onto the rich and powerful. It really could happen.

“Anyway, there is still some time left, so why not take advantage of this time to teach her?” Lily proposed gently. Bob frowned slightly and thought to himself some plans.

…

Laura finally got enough sleep and went downstairs in a relaxed mood. Laura was surprised to see Bob in the living room, who was staring at her. Laura looked around to make sure that Bob was waiting for her.

“How are you getting on with your preparations for the Browns?” Bob’s tone was surprisingly gentle. He was very different when they first met.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Not knowing what was on Bob’s mind, Laura laughed lightly, “Not… bad? It’s all up to the Taylors anyway, what do I have to prepare for.”

Bob gnashed his teeth and looked at Laura’s frail little body up and down.

“You’re too weak, the Brown house is not a good place to live. These… two days, I asked someone to teach you some self-defense.” Bob’s tone was light as if he was concerned with Laura.

“You must be good at it, so why hire someone? Why don’t you teach me?” Laura tilted her head with a pure and harmless expression. But in her heart, she sneered that since he was trying to do something for the mother and daughter, … don’t blame her for not being polite.

Bob frowned and accepted Laura’s offer naturally.
