I'm Not a Cheap Woman

Surprised by Cruise Family

When Cecil's parents took the picture, the two were shocked. They knew why his daughter was choking when she saw the design.

"I think Cecil was just joking, where maybe a dressmaker can finish this design as soon as possible. It must have taken a long time." Nile said.

"You take it easy Brother Nile, I have an acquaintance who can do it in just two days" Falera replied.

"Eh... Cecil already had a lot of dresses at home. Don't bother the designer to make this." said Cecil while smiling awkwardly.

"You have to keep your word, I don't want my design to go to waste" Stevani said.

"Yes, didn't you agree. Keep your promise, don't embarrass Cruise's extended family in front of my lover." Zionel said.

"Zio. you know.." said Nile awkwardly.

Zionel pura did not remember it, he frowned. He just wanted to get Cecil to learn because he kept bothering Stevani.

"Don't disappoint my future wife, Cecil, you have to wear that dress at our wedding next week" Zionel said.

They were all shocked, not because of the matter of the dress but Zionel's request for her rushed marriage that was what shocked them all.

"Next week?" ask everything at the same time.

Zionel nodded his head. "Mom's... Dad... I've arranged everything. Alex has helped me get it ready, I don't want to make Stevani run away from me, I'm getting married next week. I went home with him to introduce him to you and ask permission for this marriage."

Nicolas and Falera put the spoon together. The two stared at Zionel and Stevani alternately.

"Zio.. Let's talk for a minute." - Nicolas Cruise.

"Stevani. Talk to the others, we borrow Zionel for a minute." said Falera Cruise.

Stevani looked at Zionel, the man nodding his head at Stevani. Zionel moved from his seat following his parents. Stevani was left with another family.

Nicolas Cruise's workspace is vast, all three talking inside there. When he arrived at the room, Nicolas spoke with emotion.

"Do you think your marriage is just playing games?" snaps Nicolas Cruise.

"Pull down and remember your illness." says Falera Cruise.

"How can I calm down, he just introduced the woman but he immediately asked permission to get married next week."

"Because I love him so much dad." replied Zionel.

"How long have you known him Zio?" ask Falera.

"Don't you guys know his name falling in love at first sight?"

"There's no such thing." snorted Nicolas. "Have you met her family, are you really sure she's a good woman? Are you going to be happy with him? That's what you should think about." he added.

"I think you guys like him, he's pretty good. Can't you see it for yourself."

"Woman carelessly? I've introduced it without covering up any of you. She is a good woman, beautiful and smart. I love her so much mom, dad. I've decided to marry her next week. I don't want to let go of it even for a second, I'm really sure of this."

"Oh my God, I let you out of this house, I let you live free Zio. But about marriage, I won't do it again. You can't marry her next week before I find out about the woman" Nicolas said.

"Tell mommy Zio, are you doing this because mommy always forces you to go on blind dates?" ask Falera.

Zionel shook his head. "It has nothing to do with blind dates. I really love her, I'll marry her next week. Daddy doesn't need to find out more about Stevani, she's not a criminal. I never asked you for anything, but this time my request was just a wedding. And I married the woman I love, I think that's enough of a reason. Think about this decision of mine, I can't leave it out for too long. I know Cecil and some other Cruise families don't like it and are trying to drop it in front of you. Unfortunately, my choice was always right" Zionel replied firmly.

"What if he only wants our treasure Zio? Mommy's just worried about you."

"Is mommy's son so stupid that he can't handle the treasure? And I don't think Stevani is the woman you think she is."

"Why are you blinded by Zio's feelings of love? You're not like my son." said Nicolas.

"I don't love the wrong woman. A few days in town X I knew her, she was a woman who loved her family very much. He was able to sacrifice for his sister, and I think that's more than enough how I can see the goodness of his heart."

"Sister....???" ask her parents at the same time.

"I almost forgot to tell you, Stevani has a younger brother who is currently in hospital in the city of D due to heart disease. He was rich, but he never troubled his parents. She may not worry her parents. She is a good woman, she tries to take care of everything herself and still looks good in front of her parents. That's what made me admire him even more." replied Zionel.

There are lies in the story, but what Zionel meant was to describe Stevani's true circumstances. He considered Stevani more or less like that. In her eyes, Stevani is an independent, responsible and affectionate woman.

"After undergoing surgery, his sister's condition has not stabilized. But I still forced Stevani to move to this city because I wanted to marry her immediately and help her carry the burden she faces today. I will immediately transfer his sister to the hospital in this city after everything stabilizes. So mom, dad.agree or disagree, I'm going to marry her next week." Zionel said as he moved out of his seat.

Zionel immediately walked out of his father's study without waiting for their response again. The man immediately approached Stevani to the dining room again.

"There's something strange about Zio, after I heard the story, I've been wanting to investigate who that woman is" Nicolas said after Zionel left the room.

"Daddy was right, for what the woman hid the condition of her seriously ill sister from her parents. Can't daddy find out before next week? We have to stop our son's marriage if this woman is just after Cruise's family treasure" Falera said.

"Mommy take it easy, I'll investigate as soon as possible. Zionel is getting unruly. It's better now that we stay calm dear, right now Zio won't listen to us."

Falera nodded her head.

"If Haena were still around, it's possible that Zio wouldn't be like this" Falera said sadly.

Nicolas approached his wife and hugged her. "Don't think about it, baby, we're not giving up on Haena. But this time we're focusing our business on Zionel."

Falera nodded her head again while hugging her husband tightly.
