Stand Still, Don’t Run Away, My Little Wife

“How long has it been since you went there? You got a silver tongue.”

He wanted to know what and how much she had learned during her time away from him.

Well… it’s not urgent now. They still got time in the future.

… …

After trying on the dress, she kept her face calm. And the clerk on the side also noticed that when she came out of the fitting room, her cheeks were red and she thought it was the narrow indoor space that made her breathless.

“Miss Macaulay, which one did you choose?”

Danae now had no idea to choose. She looked down and did not say anything. It was just like she didn’t like them.

“Buy them all and send them to Macaulay family.”

It was Raymond who spoke. His voice was indifferent, and could not tell the feeling of him right now.

The clerk was naturally happy, but it was the first time she heard that someone had bought three sets of wedding dresses.

It’s like this unmarried bride would be engaged for the second time.

However, she did not quite understand what he meant. He sent the dress to Macaulay family instead of Cyril’s family.

But now, she had already stayed there, and the engagement banquet was next week.

“An engagement presents.”

When she got on the car, she saw the black box he handed her.

Yes, since childhood, Raymond had bought her many gifts.

This man was always like this. She was not allowed to have what she wanted, but it happened that he gave her many different gifts.

After receiving gifts, he always asked her if she liked them.

But this time, she left Macaulay family with nothing.

Open the box, it was a mobile phone.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“You need this now.”

In the past years, he cut off all possibilities for her to contact with the outside world. And tools such as mobile phones were never allowed to be used by her.

Did he think that she had her own social life?

Also, she will soon become Cyril’s fiancée. Raymond was only her nominal guardian. When she turned 18 next week, he would not be able to ask her for anything more.

Only obviously, she was wrong again.

In this mobile phone, only his number was available. The others were all blank. It seemed that what has been set up could only be answered, not called.

That meant, she could only answer his phone.

“Do you like it?”

The smile floating on the man’s face was still the same as before. The girl hid the cold darkness of her eyes. She did not speak anything.

Cyril had been waiting for her outside the door. Seeing the girl who had tried on the engagement dress coming back, he smiled incessantly and went up to take her hand and looked at the man sitting in the car.

“Mr. Macaulay, thank you.”

Raymond squinted and smiled, which made people unable to see the emotion. But the hidden femininity at the bottom of his eyes were too well understood for Danae.

Somehow, she began to flustered.

Watching the car go away, she suddenly had an idea－

Could this engagement banquet really be held?
