บททั้งหมดของ Lovesick Beggar: บทที่ 51 - บทที่ 60

"The thought of her childhood sweetheart not loving her kept me shamefully happy." [Christian]....After hanging up, Riley forgot about her confused feelings for Mindy. Instead, she made a list of grocery items containing Stuart's favorite dishes items. After changing clothes, she left home for the supermarket. She needed to make sure of three things. For starters, she thought of preparing Gnocchi, with mildly sweet butternut squash, crunchy hazelnuts, maitake mushrooms, and pickled chilies. And bagels.For the main course, she had decided upon a Shawarma platter with hot red sauce dressing. Since he was always a spicy food lover.And Ropa Vieja and plantains, for which she needed to have beef, chilies, and peppers. It was a dish Stuart's late grandmother had loved and made her learn. She could still recall how she used to explain its meaning to her every time Riley went to their home to dine."Come here Riley, I will tell you what Ropa Vieja and plant

"Remember the finest love comes from the most painful experiences. And it will make you grateful for the wait." [Christian]....After meeting her husband, Stuart realized one thing. Which he was sure of. He can't be an underprivileged man. No miserable man can match his stare. The way he did. Not even for a moment, he had tried to evade eye contact with him. Which was strange evaluating his reality. Even if someone did, they wouldn't be as confident as he was. 'The energy that is radiating off from his persona is too extraordinary to be a beggar. 'Who are you Mendicant? Why do I feel I saw you somewhere? Where did I saw you?'"Stuty pooh."'No response.'Riley placed the glass of water on the table,  hurriedly, and nudged him. "Hey, Georgie where are you lost? I have been calling you for the last 5 minutes."Smiling sheepishly he rubbed his neck, "I was thinking about some important things."

"Love scares you like melted chocolate. Which can melt if you didn't pay attention to it. If you left it without care. Yet it tastes as sweet as it when you are filled with it. Releasing happy hormones."......  After that, they ate in silence. Nobody spoke. And Christian finally managed to calm himself down. Riley looked at him from sideways. He ate quietly with one hand while the other one was placed on his thigh. Without any expression. Just the voice of cutlery rang in the silence.Despite her inability to comprehend his expressionless face, she knew he was hurt. If not hurt then at least insulted. She shook off the weird feeling and resumed eating.Steadily Stuart looked up at them. His eyes narrowing at their behavior. He could understand the struggler's emotions but why Riley was sad? It made no sense to him. Why? Why Riley Brown? I'll deal with whatever it is between you and him later. For now, let me just e

"Your regret won't last. Your shame won't last. So don't worry about whatever happened. Just let it go and put effort to improve your actions." [Christian]  Riley settled on a chair. And took out her phone. Running her tongue across her lips to moist them. 'I should call him.''Yeah. You should. What you did was humiliating to go through.''If it was me, Probably I will flip the table, or maybe dump all my food on your face.''But our relationship is not real.''Even if it's not. Do you think, you can handle everything he did, in front of his face. A wife flirting.Her subconscious voice sneered at her. Inhaling a deep breath, she dialed his number. Waiting for him to pick up. Christian's eyes narrowed reading the document. What he was afraid of was the only truth. Even if there could be an omission in interrogation. One thing he was sure of. It was that he had

"If someone is written for you, God will move both of your hearts, not just yours. So don't stress it!"[Christian]....After he stopped himself Riley asked the question she couldn't wait to find out."Why were you laughing?"He placed a finger on his lips, mouthing the words 'keep quiet.' While dangling the phone in front of her face.She understood his gesture. He was still on the phone with her mother. She lifts a brow and nodded at him."I am sorry, Mom. Riley was tickling me. So, I couldn't control myself."Her shoulders visibly drop as she looks at him with questioning eyes. 'Me Tickling him! Oh, God! How can he lie so easily? Without even flinching.'Embarrassed about how her mom will think about them she closed her eyes and hides her face in her hands. Milly giggles "Oh. I understand Son. It's perfectly normal for couples to behave like that. Though I will
