Chapter 10
I just continued reading the Novel. I’m in the part where Rome and Czarist died and then Cza asked Lord to give her a chance to continue her love affair with Rome in the Next life. That turned out to be true and they met again. In the next life they became Jillian and Xavier. Their love story was formed again. It’s really exciting. Especially when they were drinking and then something happened to them. Gosh! It’s thrilling. When Xavier went wild with her and he became jealous because Prince Jimuel, the Crown Prince of the kingdom of Spain, had arrived. Prince Jimuel Like Jillian. But also stopped because he knew that General Xavier is the one she likes. He just let her go. Jillian and General Xavier became close. Just because Jillian’s Dad caught them, he got angry with her. And they were both punished. I was already part way through that story when someone knocked on my room. “Daughter, the chicken adobo and rice are ready. Let’s eat.” Mama called me from outside the door. So I backed up my phone first. It turned out I was late. I saw the time. It’s seven o’clock in the evening. It’s dinner time.. That’s why I’m hungry too. I sighed. “Alright. I’m going out.” I told mom and went out. We went down and ate together. Prince was there and the three of us ate together. Our older brother are not there, they both work in Manila. After eating I talked to Miles. About what he will wear to the Festival. Mom called me to get the chocolate that the neighbor gave me. I took it and ate it while reading. The day came that I was most nervous about. Yuan picked me up at the House. He waved at mom and then went straight to my room. I haven’t gotten dressed yet but I’ve taken a bath. “I can’t decide, Han. My casual dresses are ugly.” I frowned at this. “I know, that’s why I bought you something to wear. Here, take it. It’s your thing.” he said in a serious voice. I was ashamed to hold the box he was carrying. It is a beige casual dress. It was good for me when I looked in the mirror. I immediately went to the Rest Room to get dressed. He was amazed at what I was wearing when he saw me. “Beautiful…” he said. I just smiled and held my hand to him. Then we left. We just said goodbye to Mom. We arrived at the Mansion of the Lim-Guerreros. It was huge and vast. I suddenly felt a little less myself. Especially when ten people in black tuxedos greeted us. It paid respect to Yuan by bowing. There are so many people in their Mansion. Just by wearing them you know they scream luxury. Far away from the state of our living. My grip on Yuan’s hand tightened. He also noticed that my palm was wet. “Chill. Don’t be nervous. I’m with you.” he said seriously. I took a deep breath to calm myself down. “All right.” As soon as we entered, I immediately noticed the lavish furniture and gold equipment. I averted my gaze there. And went straight with Yuan until we reached their Dining Hall. Those who were there looked around. The nervousness I felt earlier returned, especially when they looked at me critically from head to toe. I don’t want anyone underestimate me. Yuan greeted them with a big smile. While I shyly smile. We approached them holding hands and he introduced me. “Mom, Dad. It’s Hershey, my girlfriend.” he said in a gentle voice. Yuan’s father didn’t move but I could feel that he didn’t like me. I felt like I was stabbed with a dagger there, especially when his Mommy spoke. “Gen ta fenshou ba, wo bu xihuan ta!” His mommy said in a high voice. I stopped there. “Ni daodi zai shuo shenme, ma?! Bu! Wo ai ta!” Yuan replied angrily. Tears welled up in my eyes. I felt a tug at my heart and acid seemed to rise in my throat. I am hurt. I was ashamed of his relatives. “Doesn’t that girl know that Yuan is the heir to all the assets of the Lim and Guerrero families?! She looks so dumb and weird, huh?” whispered one of Yuan’s aunts, Miss Feng Chi. While staring at me. “For sure, she knew? That’s why she’s so close to my cousin. Because she only wants Yuan’s wealth.” Luo Yi said artfully. A famous model in China and Actress. “Yuan, I thought she’s just your slave or your maid? My apology.” Yuyu said with a smile. One of the most beautiful young stars in China. He is often seen in Historical Dramas and Xianxia Historical Romances. I bowed to the various things they said about me. It hurts my heart and ears to hear that. They trampled on my personality. “I don’t want her to be my daughter in law, that’s a big shame in the Business Industry. We have many connections and I don’t want them to be disappointed, I want to have someone who can stay with the same energy and status as you. Not trash! Dump her now!” Yuan’s Father’s baritone voice echoed throughout the dining hall. It was like water was poured on me there. While stunned by them all. They look at me with so much disgust and annoyance. “She doesn’t deserve you, son. Just give her at least 5 billion pesos so she can leave without saying that we are ruthless.” Yuan’s Mama said flatly. I bit my lower lip with force because I felt the pain. My world completely collapsed when his mother said that.. Yuan angrily yelled at them. “Enough! Don’t judge her! I really love her!” it said emphatically. Because of extreme embarrassment. I let go of Yuan’s hand and then quickly walked away from there. Until I run away. After walking away, the tears that I had been holding back started to fall. Yuan followed me until we reached the Park. It was a hot afternoon. So I thought of taking a breather in the Park to calm myself down. It’s very difficult when the parents of the man you love don’t like you. When Yuan approached me. “Sorry! About what my Mama said…” he said. I didn’t answer right away. My tears started to fall when I heard him apologize. He sat next to me and hugged me tightly. We sat under the mango tree while watching the white doves fly freely and land on the edge of the lake. I sighed. “M-Maybe your mom is right, can you break up with me?” I asked him while crying. He let go of the hug before he answered. “what did you say?” he asked, making me silent at his stares. There is a mixture of anger there. His almond-shaped eyes. They turned blacker every time he got angry. “N-Nothing..” I stammered. “No. Repeat what you’d say..” he ordered. I shook my head. I was surprised when he suddenly kissed me on the forehead.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
