Chapter 756 - Dont Forget To Process The Annulment (1/2)
It was initially meant as a harmless joke. Marie only wanted to see Nicolae suffered a little for abandoning her at the dock a few months ago. She created the whole date from hell and trained Louisa what to do.
Marie used Sanna's housekeeper's name in her fake profile and trained the woman to give Nicolae the date from hell. Come to think of it, Marie was somewhat vindictive. She thought she had forgiven Nicolae ... but when she saw the man and his children were having fun, she felt angry again.
She meticulously arranged the date between Louisa and Nicolae. She observed how it went from her apartment while smiling to herself. She predicted that Nicolae would survive until the end, but at least he would look somewhat tortured. Haha. It must be very funny, Marie thought.
Marie had no idea that when Nicolae came and met Louisa, the young man remained friendly and polite, showing no expressions of being annoyed whatsoever, much less suffering, even though he had been deceived outright.
Nicolae graciously kept trying to engage Louisa in conversation. He asked her about her daily life and always tried to find something to talk about, even though it finally proved that Louisa could not keep up with his intelligence.
Throughout the dinner, Marie was just stunned at Nicolae's handsome and patient face from the hidden camera that she placed in Louisa's handbag, which she strategically placed on the table.
At the end of the dinner, Marie could see the look of shock on the handsome face, knowing that the date from hell would continue with a movie. However, Nicolae still nodded politely and did not object. Subconsciously, Marie smiled to herself, seeing this.
”You're so kind ...” the girl murmured to herself. Her face was filled with adoration. ”A good-natured gentleman. What a rare specimen.”
She no longer paid attention to how the date went. Her mind had drifted to her mother, who was being treated in the hospital. Suddenly, she had some crazy idea that she could find a fake husband to make her mother happy and finally willing to let go.
Maybe ... a guy like this would want to help me, Marie finally thought.
Her silly idea had turned into hope, and three days ago, she finally managed to ask Nicolae to pretend to be her husband in front of her mother.
Their scheme was almost exposed because Mrs. Lu was very smart, but this kind-hearted man rushed to propose to her in front of her mother, convincing Mrs. Lu that he really loved Marie and promised to take care of her. Marie knew that Nicolae was lying, but fortunately, Ms. Lu believed his convincing words.
And finally, yesterday ... her mother was able to die in peace.
Marie took a deep breath. She rose slowly from the bed and took clean clothes from the closet. After wearing a black dress for the funeral, she wrapped black ribbons around her wrists to hide the bandages that covered her attempted suicide wounds.
Marie then checked herself in front of the mirror and saw how she looked like a living corpse with a thin body, all-black attire, and a pale face. She felt very unattractive.
Marie then sat down at her dressing table and put on a thin makeup to cover her pale skin, her naturally-red lips did not require lipstick at all. Once she felt that she looked a bit healthy, Marie went out of the room and headed to the kitchen.
”Let's eat something decent, so you get strength. Today will be very hard. We will take care of your mother's cremation and spread her ashes to the sea. After that, you have to go to the hospital and look for a grief counselor to help you grieve properly,” Nicolae said. He helped Marie sit in the dining chair and immediately put a plate of food in front of the girl. ”Do you want juice or coffee?”
Marie just nodded, not answering. Nicolae put a glass of orange juice and a cup of coffee in front of her. He then sat across from the girl and began to eat. Marie finally followed him and forced herself to chew food.
”Sorry, I have bothered you so much,” Marie said after they had finished eating.
