Chapter 382
Chapter 382
My head started to ache. Is it so difficult to accept the fact that I’m Christopher’s wife? I’ve already told them the truth, but they chose to believe that I’m Christopher’s mistress. That’s really something.
Monica’s piano concert was in the next two days, and I bought two tickets online for Christopher and myself so that we could sit together. I had no doubts that Monica presented Christopher with a VIP ticket, and there was no way I would be able to get my hands on a VIP ticket for myself. I just didn’t want to sit separately from Christopher at the concert.
“I don’t want to hear any excuses from you today, Chris. We’ve already made plans to attend the piano concert together. I’ve already bought tickets for two, so don’t be late,” I said into the phone while I sketched.
I set the phone call on speaker mode, and I could hear some background noises from his end. It sounded like he was still in an important meeting, so I kept the conversation short.
“Why are you so enthusiastic? It’s not even your concert. Don’t worry. No matter how busy I am today, my mom will take care of things for me, so I’ll have some time off in the afternoon. Just get dinner ready and wait for me to come home,” Christopher said, he sounded a little unhappy.
“Alright, I’ll cook something nice for you and wait for you to come home. But you must remember to eat your lunch. If I find out that you’ve skipped your lunch again, I’ll go over there and feed you myself.” I pretended to make a contemptuous remark.
“Got it, my queen. Consider it done.”
“Don’t call me your queen. Call me your darling wife.”
After the call, I turned on my computer as I snacked on some fruits. Suddenly, I noticed that there was breaking news from the local headlines today, and it had topped the trending search in Avenport. My curiosity piqued, so I clicked on the news.
The headline came into my line of sight. Monica Martin To The rescue—Christopher Lane To Repay With Marriage. The Betrothal From Ten Years go.
I frowned as I read the content of that headline news. It was reported clearly on how Julia was saved by Monica’s mother, and how the betrothal came about. There was also a report on the marriage arrangement between Christopher and Monica.
Why would they want this matter to be known by everyone in Avenport? What good does it do? It seems like it’s done on purpose. Otherwise, why would this kind of news be in the newspaper when Christopher had publicly announced that we are together?
I scrolled down to the comment section below and saw that many readers had participated in the discussion by posting their comments.
Sleepless Night: No wonder Christopher has been single for so many years. It turns out that he’s already betrothed to Monica from years ago and didn’t want to be involved in a romantic relationship.
Giggles: It’s much more romantic than that. They’re the perfect couple. If I were a man, I would bring her home as my wife.
Trouble Finder: Arranged marriage never ends well. We don’t know if Christopher loves her or not. Also, he did say that Monica’s like a sister to him in a press conference earlier. I have protected my chastity for twenty-three years, so I know what I’m talking about. Besides, his heart belongs to someone else, and that’s definitely not Monica.
Paradox: Trouble Finder, you’re a fool for saying that. Someone like you has no right to comment about someone’s love life. It’s a romantic affair, and you know nothing about it. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
First Half of My Life: It’s obvious that Trouble Finder has no girlfriend and is jealous of others. I hope you remain a virgin for the rest of your life and be cursed to masturbate for the rest of your life.
As I read further, I realized that the comments were disrespectful and toxic. One person even went as far as to say that Christopher was an id*ot for having someone other than Monica as his girlfriend. I was so angry that I replied with a scathing remark as Christopher’s Wife: You’re the id*ot, and you come from a family of idiots. Christopher loves me, so what?
I felt childish for being a keyboard warrior after I posted the reply. Hence, I quickly deleted my comment. It seemed to me that Monica was using the public’s opinion to oppress Christopher. What is Monica trying to do now?
I had a bad hunch. Tonight’s concert will probably not be a peaceful one.
