Marrying the Rich Widow
Chapter 3 Fever
Billy observed his master who had been smiling to himself while playing a pen on his finger. For a long time, his master had not shown that expression.
"How can you misidentify someone?" David asked Billy.
"I wouldn't misunderstand people, sir."
David only furrowed his brows at Billy's answer that he didn't expect.
He still couldn't figure out how the woman couldn't recognize him. But thanks to his mistakes, David was satisfied to play with him. Without realizing it, the enjoyment of his fantasy has begun, there will be many crazy things waiting.

Cherry was bored all day at home. He decided to take a walk around the compound, and it made him look strange. No pedestrians were seen in the elite area, then he quickly returned to the house.
"What's swimming, huh? But I don't have a swimsuit." He muttered to himself while sitting in the garden next to the swimming pool.
Cherry daydreamed and the breeze put her to sleep.
"Mrs, it's dinner time." Mia woke him.
"Ah, yes. I don't want to eat, I want to sleep again. My head's dizzy."
"Do I need to call a doctor?"
"No need, I'm just gonna go to bed." Cherry stepped into the room and went back to sleep.
David came home a little late tonight. Cherry slept with a thick blanket. After bathing and changing clothes, he approached Cherry, deliberately wanting to play her again.
Cherry's face is sleeping, her eyeballs are moving, maybe in a nightmare. David put his palm on Cherry's forehead.
"He has a fever."
"No, no, please, go--" Cherry delirious in her sleep.
David felt sorry for his condition, "are you scared?"
***
Alexander's doctor arrived moments later after receiving David's phone call.
"It's okay. He's just exhausted." Doctor Alexander wrote something down and gave it to David. David accepts it and gives it to Mia.
"Mia you're in charge."
"Good, Sir."
"David, who is he? I've never seen it."
"My wife."
"Hey, why don't you give me a wedding invitation?"
His relationship with David was quite close. Alexander's family were David's family doctors. It has been hereditary until now Alexander who is experienced enough to take over the duties of his father.
"No party, just calm down."
"Stay, you should have told me. All right, your wife's condition is fine. Now I have to go, there's still a schedule in the hospital."
"Okay, tank you."
Mia escorted Alexander out. Now only David continues to look at Cherry's face that did not even wake up when the doctor examined her.
“Did I hurt you?” whispered David.
***
Cherry felt her body drenched in sweat. The dizziness in his head was gone. There was no one in his room. He tried to step towards the bathroom to clean his sticky body.
When opening the bathroom door, Cherry was shocked to see David who was just wrapped around a white towel on his waist. Her wet body showed she had just finished taking a shower.
"Want me to express yourself like that?" david asked who saw Cherry so surprised.
"Why are you here? Out!"
"You like to scream. Shall I bathe?"
Seeing David stepping towards the door, Cherry took a few steps back.
"You don't want to go to the bathroom? Or do I want company?" tempt David who has been on the side of the bathroom door.
Cherry quickly entered, then closed and locked the door. Because it was so uncomfortable with his body, Cherry immediately took a quick shower. He didn't bring a change of clothes to the bathroom. Wearing a bath robes, Cherry opened the door slowly and peered out. A feeling of relief from not finding the figure of a man in his room. Then he walked back to the closet.
"Searching?" ask David who came out of the walk in closet. Cherry didn't think David was there because she had never entered it herself.
"Why do you keep bothering me?" Cherry's starting to be alert.
David walked over, then sat on the bed. He looks charming in his black suit.
"Get out of here!" Cherry became emotional because she felt ignored.
"Do you know who I am?"
"Of course, even though you're the son of the owner of this house, you can't continue to bully me! What's wrong?" It still crossed his mind how the man in front of him was treating him.
"Who told you that?"
"What?" Cherry doesn't understand.
David took a deep breath and said, "i'm your stepson."
Cherry remained silent. Yes, no one said it. That's just Cherry's own conclusion. All she knew was that her husband was a rich old widower, so she would not look at his face when she married.
"Then who are you?" cherry asked hesitantly realizing something was wrong.
"Have your eyes got problems? Better check your eyes later. Wear the card I gave you."
"So you gave me the card? Not yourfather?"
David furrowed his brows, feeling uneasy with Cherry's stupidity.
"Wait, be clear. You who?"
David just kept quiet, looking at Cherry expressionlessly.
"You're my husband?" ask Cherry in doubt.
"It turns out that your husband is handsome and rich. Are you happy?" David said it in a flat voice.
There was a sense of relief when knowing that she had not done the forbidden thing, she did it with her own husband. Besides, her husband is handsome and rich. Cherry cheeks are red.
"Come here."
Cherry kept quiet at David's orders.
"I don't like to say it twice." His tone was cold, making Cherry afraid and obeying his orders.
David grabs Cherry's waist and pulls her into a hug. "Do your duty as a wife."
"What does that mean?"
David pulled the bathrobes, Cherry's smooth body so clearly visible. Cherry was made by him, her face was red.
"There's no reason for you to refuse."
David held Cherry's cheek, bringing it close to his face. Then David kissed her lips. Cherry could not escape because the man had locked her body tightly.
"Tok-tok-tok." The bedroom door was knocked, feeling there was a crack Cherry tried to break away from David.
"Sir, Mr. Billy is waiting downstairs" said Mia from behind the door.
“Today go check your eyes, buy what you need. Johan will take you. I don't want you to mistakenly recognize another man as your husband.” His whisper was right in Cherry's ear.
Cherry was embarrassed to hear it, how could she not recognize her husband. Even thought her husband was her stepson. Right now, he continues to curse his stupidity.
David stood tidying up his suit, Cherry quickly retreated away. If you don't remember this morning there was an important meeting, David wouldn't let go.
"Later we play again." David said it as he passed away.
After David disappeared behind the door, he quickly put on the bath robes lying on the floor. Then he sat down on the edge of the bed. His mind was stupefied considering the events of the past few days which were like nightmares.
