A Lionel Si Casanova

Chapters. 10 & Offer

Reddick accidentally comes to the Wyclif family home. He wanted to see Agatha to talk about something.

 

"I want to talk about your offer" Reddick said without further ado upon arriving at the house. Agatha who had just sat down instantly frowned.

 

"Offer?" agatha did not understand.

 

"You won't forget your offer about Bellina, Agatha." Reddick.

 

"Oh, that woman. Wh why? Are you getting interested?" Agatha's smile expands. This middle-aged woman is like getting a raffle.

 

"Yes. Give me Bellina."

 

"definitely. I'll make sure she marries you. Drink." Agatha invited Reddick to enjoy a drink served by the waiter.

 

Reddick tried to observe Agatha's facial features. Looks like he really wants Reddick to marry Bellina.

 

What's up with that? Didn't they intend to get rid of Bellina? Or was it given to me to throw away?

 

"I'll talk to Bellina." Agatha also sipped her tea.

 

...***...

 

Bellina came to the reading room. The housekeeper conveyed Agatha's orders to her.

 

"I'm coming, Ma" Bellina said as she entered the reading room. The woman looked up.

 

"Oh, Bellina. Come inside. Sit down here. I want to talk." Agatha pointed at the chair in front of her. Bellina approached and sat down. "Now, Reddick is gone. Maybe it's not right if I say it now, but I think it's better that you find a husband again soon."

 

"Husband?" bellina asked in surprise.

 

"Yes. I know it's lonely if there's not a loving man next to us."

 

"Sorry, Ma. I don't want to get married. Even though Reddick is gone, I don't have to get married anymore" Bellina said.

 

"So you want to continue to be widowed?" agatha asked with eyes. He doesn't like.

 

"Maybe yes," Bellina replied making Agatha sigh tired. He tried to refrain from directly riding blood.

 

"That can't be Bellina. You're young, beautiful. Why keep widowing for the dead Reddick?" agatha asked Bellina in surprise. His pupils were shaking.

 

"Isn't it better that I don't marry anyone and be loyal to Reddick?" bellina asked, This is the right choice.

 

Agatha was upset by Bellina's attitude.

 

"What if I say no?" Agatha.

 

"no? How could my mother disagree?" Bellina was astonished.

 

"Lookin Bellina. Maybe you can be stupid because Reddick is alive, but .. now you can't argue because there's no child, '" Agatha said.

 

"I mean mama?" Bellina frowned.

 

"Stop being stubborn and obedient to me. Now there is nothing you can count on in this house," Agatha said as she leaned towards Bellina with her evil face.

 

Bellina widened her eyes flabbergasted at Agatha's change in attitude.

 

"Don't be too surprised like that. I'm tired of having to pretend to be nice to you who's just a poor boy. You're just lucky to be with Reddick. If it wasn't for my husband's services, you'd still be working at that little bakery" Says Agatha.

 

The long sentence of the woman in front of him made Bellina squeeze the edge of the skirt she wore. He suddenly trembled. But as hard as he could, he tried to calm down.

 

"I don't understand. Why did your attitude change so suddenly?" Bellina dared to ask.

 

 

"If I don't want to?" Bellina tried to resist.

 

"You're not in a position to say no. Your parents are still living quietly, aren't they?" tanya Agatha makes Bellina's hair goosebumps. "If they wish they can still live quietly and peacefully, follow my orders" Agatha threatened.

 

I'm not safe. That's right what Lionel said.

 

...*****...

 

Yesterday, before Agatha called Bellina into the reading room.

 

Reddick accidentally follows Bellina who exits the company in her car. The woman was heading to a supermarket. Reddick came down and came in.

 

His hand reached for the shopping trolley. Pretend to shop by trailing the woman. Bellina who knew she was being tailed stopped.

 

"I didn't know you had no job but to follow me" Bellina said. Reddick smile.

 

"I have a lot of work. But I took the time to follow you." Bellina shook her head while thinning her lips. He didn't care about Reddick and walked on. Reddick spelled out Bellina's steps. "Good weather for shopping."

 

"There's no good weather. I'm just filling in the rush," argued Bellina. Reddick silence.

 

"I'm surprised Amber is CEO. Wouldn't you be Reddick's wife?" Reddick tried to find a topic.

 

"No need to wonder. You're an outsider anyway. Oh, naw. You guys are so close. Shouldn't you be happy, if Amber is CEO?" bellina asked coldly.

 

"Looks. But I'm not happy because it's not what it's supposed to be." Reddick honest. Bellina looked astonishedly at this man.

 

"He's Reddick's brother. Maybe that's what people choose instead of me who's just a daughter-in-law" Bellina explained. "So why wonder?" There is no grudge in this woman's words. Though he was entitled to be on the throne which is now seized by Amber.

 

Bellina's head turned to the right and left looking for something. After feeling met. He turned the trolley towards the fruit shelf.

 

"I'm so glad you want to talk to me." Reddick realizes that Bellina is open to him this time. Even though he got angry and slapped Reddick in the face, this woman was still being nice.

 

Bellina looked to the side. Looking at Reddick with his beautiful eyeballs.

 

"I never offered hostility to anyone, unless they asked for it themselves. So if you're saying something weird, I'm certainly not talking to you." Bellina used a sharp glance to point at Reddick.

 

Reddick took a breath. He doubted. Now he wants to talk about something strange to this woman. Even stranger than all the words he ever uttered.

 

"What if we talk to sit down and have coffee?" bargain Reddick.

 

"Don't you see my shopping trolley is empty?" Bellina's eyeballs pointed towards the trolley she was carrying.

 

"After shopping." Reddick's a little pushy.

 

"I don't like coffee" Bellina continued. This woman wants to refuse.

 

"Drink whatever you want. I want to talk to you, "forcibly Reddick.

 

"You're the kind of a forced man. I don't like that." Bellina's forehead shriveled.

 

"I'm sorry. I should be able to talk to you, Bellina. It's about you." Reddick had to speak the truth. The trolley stopped, as Bellina's legs no longer stepped.

 

"On me? What exactly do you want to talk about Lion?"

 

"It's about you and your family. Mom's dad. We should sit quietly. We can't talk in passing like this" Reddick said.
