Marrying my Nanny

Chapter 26

The raindrops began to smell the earth, spreading a wet aroma and a cold atmosphere piercing the heart. The woman who is the legal wife of Hansel Nathanael Anderson, the pensive cries glare deep through the darkness of the night, accompanied by the soothing sound of the rain. Ara, it's not okay. He remembered his meeting with his mother-in-law that had just happened.

After Hansel's departure, she found that Margaret was waiting for her and wanted to speak in person, of course Ara did not dare to refuse her mother-in-law's request. Ara rushed out of the house to meet the great madam, at the Anderson residence, as soon as the call containing the order ended.

Ara was greeted coldly by the in-laws, as usual. Since her marriage to Hansel, Margaret's attitude has changed to her, but the old woman who refused to be old was so kind and never looked down on Ara and her mother. But now Margaret's mistress dislikes Ara, even thinking Ara is a pest that must be removed from the Anderson family, especially from Hansel.

"Just go Ara, you know that your wedding should not be known by the public at large, and soon the Anderson Group will be holding our newest hotel inauguration party. So I think you know what you have to do," said Margaret's mistress with great emphasis.

Now Ara can feel what it's like to be a poor and weak female lead, who is often seen on the screen.

Maybe in a moment, he will give me a suitcase full of money, so that he will leave his only son, heh. Inner Ara smiled in disdain.

"So the madam wants me how?" answer Ara politely and calmly.

"I just want the secret of your marriage to go unnoticed by the public, so it would be nice if you could let Hansel take Vanessa as his partner at the party, you could refuse if Hansel invited you," he said without further ado.

Ara's hand was clasped tightly, she was so furious to find the request from the in-laws, "Why the mistress didn't speak directly to my husband, it would be easier" Ara replied boldly.

It looked as if Madame Margaret had let out a long sigh, "Listen to Ara! at any time, you'll never be able to fit into the Anderson family, so throw away that empty wishful thinking you have in mind, because it'll never happen."

"I,-"

"I haven't finished speaking yet" the in-laws cut off any words that were about to come out of Ara's lips, "You should have understood where you are Ara's position, don't be greedy, don't be greedy, I'll compensate you when you two get divorced, but don't waste Hansel's life, he'll have to bring in Anderson's big name, he must contend with his uncle who will gladly remove Hansel from his current position, once he finds out about your marriage, considering your family cannot be a support for Hansel." Lady Margaret said in a loud manner.

"I know you don't love my son, so I hope you can take care of yourself, lest you be lulled by Hansel, because the end of your story has been outlined can't be together. I remind you not to get hurt either. Daddy Hansel has a heart condition, if until the position of Chairman Anderson of the group is taken by his second uncle, I can't imagine how devastated my husband is" he continued.

"So, you should be able to convince Hansel to take Vanessa as his partner in public to strengthen his position, you know?" miss Margaret.

Ara closed her eyes, holding a stabbing feeling that unknowingly broke through her little heart, "I will do as I can, but the final decision is in the hands of your son Madam. If, Hansel refuses to go with Vanessa then it's not my fault. If there is nothing else I'm sorry," said Ara holding back the tip of her eyes that began to heat up.

->Home Morgan.

An irritated Hansel refuses to tell you anything about his problems, as long as Vanessa is still there, and more infuriatingly, the model-turned-girl stubbornly refuses to leave, makes Hansel's bad mood worse.

Whether the bottle to how much they had spent, which obviously now Hansel can no longer think clearly, his chaotic mind is getting more complicated. He starts talking, muttering about Ara and her love, as well as his jealousy towards Johan and the company's problems and his second uncle. All the burdens that originally tried to be hidden by Hansel just one by one began to be said in a drunken condition. Morgan who was in a condition not much different could only respond to Hansel's chatter with other babbling more, so the two could no longer talk and fall asleep on the sofa where they sat.

However, unfortunately not with the cunning girl who is now pulling the corner of her lips with a triumphant smile. Vanessa wasn't drunk at all, because she had expected this to happen, so from then on she just pretended to accompany Hansel and Morgan to drink, waiting for the moment the two started to get drunk and fall. Vanessa's smile widened, she actually hit the jackpot tonight. He could clearly hear the problems looming over Ara and Hansel's household, now devising a devious plan to make the relationship between Hansel and Ara grow stronger.

Elsewhere, Ara still faithfully gazing at the dark of night befriending the speck of rain, she let out a long sigh for the umpteenth time hoping that the lump that stifled her chest could be reduced. He did not know if he had fallen in love with his little husband, just that hiding their identity as a couple made him feel uncomfortable.

Ara brought her footsteps back into the room, observing the wall clock that had shown her past midnight.

'Why hasn't Hansel come home yet?' Thought Ara astonished.

He grabbed a flat object on the nightstand and checked the notification, hoping for a message or call from the husband, but it seemed like the Goddess of fortune was not on his side. He shifted his phone screen, looking for Hansel's number, to make a call.

Tut.....Tut's.....

There was no answer, he contacted Hansel. Until the third call he smiled when the call was connected. However, at once the smile faded when it was not the voice of the husband who greeted him at the end of the call. The world of Ara collapsed.

"Hello? Ma'am Ara huh? I'm sorry, I don't want to interfere in your domestic affairs, but it seems like Hansel can't talk to you tonight, and he probably won't be coming home either, sorry," vanessa's voice sounded sweet in the ear.

"Where's Hansel, give him the phone! I want to hear it directly from my husband!" ara's orders, with a slightly trembling voice.

"All right, let me try to wake you up for a second. Brother Hansel is really tired after the activity we just did. Don't blame me if he's angry, ''Ara, '" Vanessa said.

Ara prepared her heart, to hear whatever Hansel said.

"Sister Hansel, wake up! here's a call from Ara's mother" vanessa's voice rattled across the street.

Ara sharpened her hearing, trying to catch any sound she could hear, "Bas on pests don't bother me, get out of here!" the sound of Hansel's curse managed to make Ara's heart crumble into dust grains.

*Is it true, if our marriage is hopeless in the future?.
