WIFE FOR 365 DAYS (ENGLISH VERSION) のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

"Boss! I'm in a conferen—wait? Why do you look like it's Holy Week? Are you okay?"Manuela sighed and leaned back in her chair after Suzie found her staring blankly into space. She couldn't focus on work because of what happened at Lacrose's mansion the previous day.She couldn't believe she'd said she wanted Lacrose to die painfully. Her conscience hadn't let her sleep."Can you face your staff?" Suzie asked, approaching Manuela's desk."You know Uno's men killed the person behind the kidnapping and sale of women and children, the one who took you," Manuela informed Suzie."Really?""Do you think it was right that Uno meted out the punishment?""I can't say, Manuela, but you know our government. Those with money get away with anything. That man could easily have gotten away with his crimes because he had money. Mr. Urquio's actions might have been right, maybe wrong, but as a victim who almost got sent to another country to be a sex slave, I can say he got what he deserved," Suzi

Manuela couldn't move from her spot after her brother closed the door, clutching the pillow he’d given her. She knew Lucas could sleep alone; he had his own room, but she hadn't expected him to actually agree to her moving out."Lu-Lucas, are you sure you don't want to sleep next to your sister?" Manuela asked, receiving no answer.She didn't know what to do. How could she sleep properly knowing she'd be sharing a bed with Uno again?"What did that man think of when he decided I should sleep in his room?" Manuela wondered. She raised her hand to knock on Lucas's door when someone grabbed her arm.Turning, she saw Uno and quickly pulled her arm away."Wh-why?""Why are you standing here? Get inside and don't disturb your brother.""I don't understand why you suddenly decided I should sleep in your room star—""—Lower your voice. You think I decided this without a fucking reason?" Uno interrupted seriously, silencing Manuela."Get inside. Just get your things tomorrow.""Is there a re

Manuela slowly opened the door to her and Uno's room. After Uno's surprising kiss, instead of immediately going downstairs, she went to the bathroom and took a shower.Manuela still couldn't believe Uno had kissed her. She was even more flustered because it wasn't just a simple kiss; Uno's actions left her speechless, and she didn't know how she would react the next time she saw him."I feel like a criminal hiding," she complained, letting out a breath. "Why did that man kiss me?! Just because we're married doesn't mean he can just kiss me out of the blue. We're even a fake husband and wife, so why did he have to kiss me? If he's annoyed by my voice, there are so many ways to make me quiet, why a kiss?!" She finally left the room."I still have a problem. What am I going to do now that I'm aware of my feelings for him? How did I fall for him? This isn't good for me; our contract states I can't fall in love with him. Why did I fall for hi—""Ate."Manuela jumped at the sudden appearan

"I'm so disappointed! I'm their eldest child, but they didn't tell me about their problems! That's so unfair!"Piero watched in disbelief as Manuela, drunk and emotional, vented her frustrations. She had consumed too much beer, becoming intoxicated and rambling while crying.They were surprised when Uno brought Manuela to their manor and introduced her to Hiro. Piero and Hiro were drinking when Uno and Manuela arrived, and Uno allowed Manuela to join them. Radjeev, Santi, and Caleb later joined the drinking session, with Manuela consuming even more alcohol than the others, while Uno sat cross-legged on the sofa."Why did Dad hide Mom's illness from me?!" Manuela sobbed, hiccuping from the alcohol."Your wife seems to have had a bit too much, el señor. She's acting out," Piero commented, causing Uno to sigh.He let Manuela drink because of her emotional state, but he hadn't anticipated her inability to control her intake."Why did you bring Lady Manuela here, el señor?" Santi asked."

"Lucas!"Lucas ran towards Don Victorino, who was delighted to see him again. Don Victorino had been busy with his businesses, so he hadn't visited Uno's manor much."Did you miss your Lolo Rino?" Don Victorino asked with a smile, to which Lucas nodded."Yes!""Let's sit down and eat. I ordered a lot of food for all of us," Don Victorino said happily, helping Lucas sit down while Uno pulled out a chair for Manuela.He's acting because of Don Victorino. Why do I need to find meaning in what he's doing? Manuela thought bitterly before sitting down."How are you, hija? Do you have morning sickness yet? Am I expecting a grandson?""Why are you asking my wife like that? Don't pressure her," Uno scolded his grandfather."I'm not pressuring her, but haven't you been on your honeymoon? Don't tell me it was a failure. You can always try again—""—Lucas is here, Lolo, stop talking about that. Don't give my wife a responsibility just because you want to have a grandson," Uno interrupted, causing
