Chapter 845 - Spilling The Beans (1/2)

”What did you say??? You are married?!?”

”Married? Without telling us, your family?!?”

Terry and Alaric blurted at the same time when they heard Nicolae muttering that he and Marie were married when they were having s.e.x.

Nicolae was astonished to see the enthusiasm on their faces. He thought they were too much.

”It's a long story,” said the young man, shrugging. ”I don't want to discuss it now.”

Alaric and Terry exchanged glances. Obviously, both of them seemed dissatisfied.

”I have been your best friend for more than one decade. How could you get married and not tell me that important news? Is our friendship that meaningless to you?” slammed Terry.

”And I'm your brother. I don't think there is anyone in this world closer to you than me. We shared 9 months together in our mother's w.o.m.b. Even if you didn't tell your best friend, you should at least tell me. Moreover, you got married in Singapore, where I stay most of the time. How outrageous ...” Alaric joined in criticizing his brother.

The words of the two men made Nicolae shake his head. ”That's not what happened. It was only temporary. I told Marie to take care of the annulment as soon as I left. Surely, now she must have taken care of it.”

”Temporary? I don't understand ...” Terry sat in Nicolae's sun chair and pushed his friend's b.u.t.t aside so he could get a space there. He then grabbed Nicolae's shoulders and asked urgently. ”You have to tell me everything. Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep.”

”Gosh ... what is this? If you can't sleep, ask my father for sleeping pills... Don't blame me,” grumbled Nicolae.

Alaric frowned and looked closely at his brother.

”Her name is Marie, huh? You know, Nic ... if you don't want to tell me, I can easily order Pavel or Takeshi to look for information about the girl. Especially since she lives in Singapore. Now... you can tell us. I ... along with Terry will promise not to tell anyone. Or ...” He smiled a little, ”or I will find out who she is and pay her a visit as a good brother-in-law.”

”Ishh .. why would you come to see her? Don't you have anything better to do?” grumbled Nicolae. He then waved his hand and rolled his eyes, finally giving up. ”Okay. Her name is Marie Lu. She has a flower shop in the city center near my apartment. We met several times.”

”You only met a few times, but you immediately decided to get married? Wow ... maybe this runs in the family, huh? You and your brother are the same,” Terry commented. ”Let's continue.”

”Ugh ... you guys really want to know? Okay ... I'll tell you what happened. But don't you dare tell the others,” Nicolae finally said.

”I promise not to tell anyone,” Terry said, raising his right hand solemnly. Alaric just nodded, but anyone knew that the man could keep his promise.

”All right. I met Marie several times when I was in Singapore. One day, she suddenly asked for my help to be her fake husband. Her mother had been lying sick for a long time. Her condition was very bad, but she tried so hard to stay alive, even though she was in extreme pain. She even had to be put in a medically induced coma for a long time so she would not suffer too much ...

”However, her mother struggled so hard to stay alive. According to Marie, the only reason she did not give up was that she was worried about leaving her only child alone in the world.”
