A Lionel Si Casanova

Chapters. 23. Men who make the heart restless

"Are they not playing me?" It was fortunate that Reddick had the answer to this woman's question.

 

"Toying?" bellina asked not to understand.

 

"Engg ... " Mommy mutters. It seems like their chatter is interfering with mom's deep sleep. Bellina got up from her seat and got closer to the bed. The food box, he put it on the chair where he was sitting.

 

"Bellina's here," Bellina said, showing her whereabouts to the mother. Mom's eyelids are shaking. It seems so hard to open your eyes. But after being forced, the mother managed to open her eyes.

 

"Rel ...." Mother's voice is weak. Reddick put the food box on the chair and sipped a drink. He also approached the desk chair.

 

"Yes Mother. It's Bellina." With a soft voice Bellina replied. She smiled weakly. Then looked up and looked at Reddick who was standing next to his daughter. His lips smiled at the force again. He still looks weak.

 

"I'm sorry I troubled you."

 

"I'm not troubled. Don't say that, Mother." Bellina looked upset and sad to hear mom say so.

 

"Even I'm troubling mother-in-law. This is the first time we've met" she said.

 

"Mothers. Never mind," pinta Bellina.

 

"It's okay, Mother. I don't feel bothered because it's my duty. Bellina's mother was my mother too. So I beg you, I don't hesitate anymore" said Reddick, making a smile. Although disguised by fatigue and pain, his eyes were moved by Reddick's words.

 

"Thank you" said Mother sincerely.

 

Bellina, who had not looked at Reddick at all, fell silent. Something warm passed through the recesses of his heart. A strange feeling he had never felt before. Even to Reddick. This made Bellina reluctant to respond. Because he felt ashamed. Why should she feel that way to another man, not to her husband Reddick.

 

Brak! The door opened hard. A man aged below Bellina, appeared with a panicked and anxious face.

 

"Auntie! Auntie Artila!" he screamed, as he got closer to the bed. Bellina stood up in surprise. Seeing the man coming and approaching haphazardly into bed, Reddick spontaneously pulled Bellina's body and grabbed her. Until the body is standing right next to it safely. "Auntie's okay?" ask the man worried.

 

"Of course, Rio," Bellina's mother said.

 

Meanwhile, this man's hand was locking Bellina's movements for not much movement. That made it difficult for Bellina to get out of Reddick's hand. He who was right next to Reddick's right side now looked up.

 

Bellina's eyeballs blinked. This point of view was absolutely impossible for him. Because it was never in his shadow, that he should be right under this man's chin.

 

Reddick's jaw is very firm. With a thin sideburn that grows from the face beside the ear, until it is at the end of the chin, it makes the charm of this Casanova more manly. A very unique sight to see for the first time.

 

At first, Reddick did not realize that any woman was watching him. But when he lowered his gaze, Bellina's face was looking up. The eyeballs looked at him.

 

Instantly Bellina immediately lowered her gaze. It made Reddick understand that he had to release this woman's body.

 

"Sorry." Reddick took his hand off Bellina's arm. Meanwhile the man who had appeared, looked at the two of them.

 

"Who is he, Bell?" asked the man pointed at Reddick with his gaze.

 

"He's my husband" Bellina replied.

 

"His husband? Isn't your husband the guy with the glasses and that cute look?" ask the guy about Reddick. Bellina just smiled faintly. Less eager to explain to this man.

 

Who her? Reddick uses his brain to think hard. Again, he did not understand who this man was.

 

 

"Don't talk about people dying so badly, Rio." Bellina gave advice. Reddick her husband. He certainly did not agree there were others saying bad things about him.

 

"Why don't you get upset with his attitude. I was upset even though I never met him. If he doesn't love you, he should refuse when he's asked to marry you. Not to be ignored but to ignore. That's very selfish of Bell." Rio looked angry.

 

"He's dead. He is no longer in this world. What else should I hate about him? There's no." Bellina tried to defend Reddick desperately. Reddick shut up and froze because all of this man's words were true. But who does he have the right to say that?

 

"Rio ...," call Mom.

 

"Yes, Bi ..." The man named Rio turned to the mother who had been ignored because he wanted to get angry.

 

"Don't press Bellina. She had suffered the loss of her husband. If you say all the bad things about Bellina's husband, you've hurt her too." She gave advice in a weak voice.

 

"I'm sorry Bi. I'm just worried about Bellina." Rio glanced towards Bellina then Reddick.

 

"There is now a new husband Bellina. Shame .. if you have to argue about a dead person. Forgive your son" the mother told Reddick.

 

"It's okay" Reddick said. The son? She's Bellina's sister? Then why call aunt?

 

...***...

 

Bellina's permission to talk outside with Rio. It makes itself uncomfortable. But what power, their marriage is fake. Bellina can't be bridled. He has no authority to ban.

 

What was Bellina talking about with that guy?

 

She went back to sleep after doctors injected her with the drug. Reddick pacing around in the treatment room. She's worried Bellina won't be coming back.

 

What the hell are they doing? What are they talking about. Why am I not calm?

 

His phone ringing was shocking. Reddick immediately grabbed the phone in his pocket. It was Delvin.

 

"Yes, what's wrong with Delvin?"

 

"Where are you? I went to your apartment and it was empty. I've been ringing the bell since."

 

"Oh, I'm sorry Delvin. I'm going to Bellina's parents' house."

 

"Parents? You're going to change the fake status to official, Lion?" delvin asked half-jokingly.

 

"If possible, I would. But in fact not. Bellina still thinks our marriage is fake" Reddick said. Delvin heard there was a sad tone there. He was sure Reddick said the sentence just now with a grim face.

 

"There must be something exciting there. You sound excited about going to the Bellina house." Delvin changed the topic.

 

"Yes. There's a lot I just learned about Bellina. It turns out he's not Papa's secretary's real son. He also lives in a place I just found out about. There's a lot I know now, Delvin. I am her husband." Reddick was emotional when he said that.

 

Papa's secretary? What's he talking about? Delvin frowned.
