21st Century Bride のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 71 - チャプター 80

Vida had been so worried and because she had no idea what to do, she went to the front desk to ask for help."We are so sorry ma'am but we do not give out any medication here but there is a drugstore down the road where you can get something for the fever after explaining to the pharmacist." "Okay, thank you," Vida said, grateful for her help, before she went out to locate the pharmacy. Soon enough she was going back to her room with a bag of painkillers and fever reducers that were supposed to help with the fever."Why are you fussing?" Axel asked when he saw the bag in her hand."Fussing? You are burning up so much, I can cook a steak on your forehead, and you think all of this is a fuss? Or are you one of those rich men who work their bodies without caring for them one bit?" Her question was sharp, and Axel did not know how to respond to her.He had been feeling a bit tired when he went to bed last night but he only thought it was stress and that once he slept it off, he would be

Axel was hurt that the honeymoon was disrupted, but then, seeing the way Vida was constantly by his side, he did not mind it again. She was taking care of him so much that it made him happy. She was at his beck and call, checking on him as much as she could and also chatting with him every single time.Vida was afraid; even though she was not really a fan of Axel, she knew she would be afraid if anything were to happen to him while they were alone, so she decided to take care of him.She would make sure that food was delivered to their room right on time and that he had his medication when due. She also ensured that the front desk was sending something good enough for him to eat. Axel was shocked at how kind she was being but did not bring it up; he did not need to bring it up. This was a good thing, and maybe this would leave them in a better place by the time they were done with the honeymoon. Axel could only hope for the best.Vida took it upon herself to explain the situation to M

Both of them still stared at each other. Vida had always tried to keep him at arm's length because of how much she hated him, or maybe that was what she really tried to convince herself, but now that he was staring at her, she could not trust what her mind said anyway. The stares were almost exposing that they both wanted to jerk out of the embrace but could not.Axel felt his heart pound against his chest; he had never felt anything like it before. He had been dreaming of when a day like this would come, but now that he was face-to-face with it, he did not know what he was supposed to do about it. Should he kiss her? Maybe kissing her would be a good decision even though he knew that she might not like it.Axel, feeling so close to her for the first time since they met, leaned in. All he wanted to think about in that moment was what her lips would feel like against his mouth. He pushed away the hair on her face and leaned in, hoping she would be still and return the kiss but his acti

Axel was not ready to let go, but he had to when Vida retched and pulled away, leaning onto the side of the road and emptying the entire contents of her stomach at once. Axel managed to get them a cab back to the hotel. As Vida opened her eyes, she felt her forehead pounding as if she were playing a game of slaps across the face. She closed her eyes, trying her best to regulate the pain but it did not work. She looked around and noticed that Axel was nowhere in sight. She sat still for a few minutes trying to recall the events from last night but all she could remember was her suggesting that they go to the bar; from then on, it was an entire blackout. She got up from the bed and noticed Axel's note and painkillers left for her. He had informed her that they had left the car over at the bar last night, and he needed to go back to get it so he could get it to the rental company in time.She got into the shower and allowed the hot water to do wonders on her skin. She felt better than

"Like the true daughter of my father, we have to do things the right way," Vida said, drawing her hand away from Axel's strong grip. His eyebrow went up with confusion as he tried to understand what she meant. "I have to buy your forgiveness," she said, taking out her wallet from her bag and waving it in the air.She turned without a word and began to approach an ice cream truck. He wanted to stop her, but he wanted to see what she was going to do, so he let her be. How could she even think that he was still mad at her? He had forgiven her before she could even think of asking. He was crazy in love with her, which scared him a lot. All he could think about all day was just her and how she was a perfect fit for him.He watched her stand in line at the ice cream truck and how all the men around were instantly drawn to her without her even trying at all. She stayed in line, swaying side to side as she scrolled through her phone, not aware of the impact she was having on her surroundings.
