Chapter 12

"What? What did you say? Are you getting married?" Chinmayi was surprised, not daring to believe what she heard.

Rosabella nodded drunkenly, her lips smiling, a smile full of pain:

"Yes, it's marriage. I'm getting married."

Chinmayi asked in surprise: "Why so suddenly?"

Rosabella continued to drink the wine, her voice paralyzed with pain:

"You're surprised too, I still can't believe it. It was just decided a few days ago, and today he even let me sign the contract." A finger lightly touched her lips, then she smiled like an idiot and continued: "Shh, don't tell anyone or I'll have to pay four billion. Four billion."

Rosabella staggered to her feet and walked. Her mouth smiled but her heart was tight. She was like a lost soul. The sound of car horns from afar was getting closer and closer but she didn't pay attention.

Although Chinmayi supported her, Rosabella still walked unsteadily. She thought that if she drank, she would forget everything, but it turned out that the more drunk she was, the more sober she became. She remembered that traitor, her first love, but she loved her family more. She couldn't bear to leave but couldn't see her family with nowhere to return. Everything was a mess.

The night was late, the passersby were also thinning out, the two girls stood holding onto the bridge railing and looked into the distance. The wind was blowing gently, the electric lights were bright, and in the distance, colorful flashing lights were flashing, but in their hearts, they felt lonely. Chinmayi hugged Rosabella and said:

"Scream, cry, it will make you feel better more."

The two tried to shout as loudly as possible, then occasionally turned to look at each other and smiled slightly. Chinmayi comforted:

"It's okay, even if the sky falls, I will still be with you. If you're too tired, come back here and find me."

Rosabella tried to smile brightly but still couldn't hide her sad face. She nodded slightly and leaned on Chinmayi's shoulder, her eyes looking at the river in the quiet night.

A boatman's lamp was flashing in the distance. Suddenly she felt that her life was like that boat, drifting, drifting with the water, not knowing where it would go. When the water was calm, it flowed smoothly, but when the wind blew, it could sink at any moment.

The electric lights were on but her heart was dark. It seemed like a storm was coming.

"Dominic, are you done?" Viktor urged his son.

"Here, I'm coming right away."

Romano's family is preparing to go to City B to meet his wife's family. Everyone was happy, except for one person who still had a cold expression, not paying much attention to this matter. Mr. Usha reminded his nephew:

"Dominic, are you going to show this face to your wife's family? Smile."

Dominic opened his mouth and smiled shyly.

Grandpa urged: "Okay, let's go."

Sharon had been waiting at the door since early, looking even more impatient than Dominic. Anyone who didn't know would think he was the one getting married.

"Hello grandpa, hello uncle, hello aunt."

Viktor approached, surprised: "Is this Sharon? Why aren't you coming in?"

Sharon smiled shyly, he scratched his head:

"I just arrived. How could I be absent from Dominic's happy day?"

Grandpa Usha was overjoyed, still smiling nonstop: "This child is so thoughtful."

Two cars followed each other. The front of the car had a big red word "happy". Anyone who saw it knew that this family had good news.

At this time, at the Brown house, the word "happy" was posted on the wall, fresh flowers were arranged into decorative wreaths from the gate to the garden, and neighbors were coming and going busily. The family members were excited, happily accepting everyone's blessings.

In the bridal chamber, Rosabella still had a forced smile, but in her heart, she was not happy. Today, she had to leave the house she had been attached to for more than twenty years to go to a new place to start a new life.

Although it was only a contract marriage, the Romano family was still noble, so she had to learn to live in the upper class, she would no longer have the freedom she had before.

Chinmayi was still helping Rosabella with her final makeup. Rosabella sat in front of the mirror, her face gloomy, occasionally looking up at the clock. Seeing this, Chinmayi sat down next to Rosabella and held her hand, said:

"Are you okay? Don't worry too much."

"It's okay, I just feel a little uneasy about leaving this place."

"Okay, you're the bride today, you have to smile."

"That's right, it's my first time getting married, I still have to smile." Rosabella tried to smile brightly but her heart was naturally empty.

"It's time to go out."

"Okay."

Rosabella wore a white wedding dress, her hair tied up high, her makeup was a bit luxurious, and her lipstick was brick red, she walked out of the house. She was really beautiful and gorgeous today. Everyone kept praising her. Everyone in the family was also more serious today than usual.

Dawson approached, gently stroking his daughter's hair, Rosabella bent down and hugged her father tightly, her eyes filled with tears.

"Daughter, you are very beautiful today."

Rosabella bent down, and hugged her father's neck, tears also flowing:

"When I am no longer here to take care of you, remember to take care of your health, wear more warm clothes, eat on time, and take your medicine regularly. Don't worry about me."

Dawson smiled, looked at his daughter again, and instructed:

"Okay, as long as you are happy, I am satisfied."

"I will be happy." Rosabella gently wiped her tears, and she nodded.

Lawrence saw this and quickly ran over to pull Rosabella's hand and walked out:

"Okay, your daughter is married, when you miss your father, come visit him, it's not like you are gone forever."

"Looks like the groom has arrived."

The children playing in front of the gate cheered loudly.
