Lahat ng Kabanata ng Marriage With My Ex Fiance : Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

~ Laura made her way into a private room where she was to meet Chris after ensuring that the rumors had been put under control, and was met with an attendant assigned to the room. She took a seat and ordered some water while waiting for Chris, who joined her in a few minutes and took a seat opposite her. “Hi,” she greeted, noticing the unfriendly glare in his eyes, and asked the waiter to serve them some wine. “I thought you would come together with your fiancé or might want to settle things with him before you meet with me, but I guess not,” Chris said sarcastically. “I am sure you are not here to discuss that with me,” she retorted. “You are wrong. I am actually curious to know. I heard you rushed out to take care of him at the hospital. Is he feeling better now? What if he falls sick again while you are away?” he said, and Laura was speechless at his words. She couldn’t believe he was such a petty person who would taunt her in such a way. “He is my ex-boyfriend, and I am sor

"I am sorry you have to hear that, they don't mean to hurt you, it's just their attempt to get at me," Laura explained to Chris a few steps away from them. "Isn't that what you also think?" Chris said and pulled away from her, grabbing a glass of wine from the waiter. “What nonsense are you saying? Of course I didn't think like that," she said, wondering why he was suddenly angry at her. "It seems like you do to me," he insisted and made to leave to another side but his mother came to them with Mira following behind her, and he paused but still maintained a distance from her. “Mom, don't," Chris said when he noticed her eyes fixed on Laura. “How have you been, ma'am?” Laura asked, trying to strike up a conversation between them, but she scoffed instead. “So you still recognize me? I thought you saw us as nobody years back. I don’t just understand why you decided to get married to my son now,” Mrs. Hugh said displeased. “She is actually the woman that betrayed him when he

“She’s not acceptable to the family—not even to your father. Mira came all this way because of you, and you promised her father you’d take care of her,” Mrs. High insisted. “She can stay at your place, and I’ll visit her from time to time,” Chris replied, refusing her orders. “What if she’s taken advantage of over there? You know your cousins are notorious. She’s better off staying here with you.” “It’s fine if she wants to stay here for a few weeks,” Laura said, forcing a smile. After all, she was the one who had come between them. Perhaps allowing Mira to stay would ease the tension. “Do you even understand what you just said?” Chris snapped at her, frustrated. He stormed out of the living room angrily. “I’ll also prepare for work. Make yourself comfortable,” Laura said quietly before excusing herself and returning to her room, locking the door behind her. Laura beat herself up for agreeing to let Mira stay with them. She entered her room, sighing in frustration and regr

“If you don’t like him, then fine. Are you willing to divorce him?” “Look, whatever you want to know, ask him directly. I don’t have the strength for this,” Laura said tiredly. “Chris is never at home. Since I started living here, I never get to see him. And he made me promise not to disturb him at the office, so I can’t go there either,” Mira complained. “So what do you want me to do about it?” Laura snapped. “I want you to talk to him. Maybe he’ll listen to you. Ask him to come home early and spend more time here.” “Why would I want to do that?” “You said you don’t like him!” Mira yelled. “I don’t, but I also don’t have any reason to help you. I have more important things to do,” Laura said, walking toward her room. “I know you’re lying. You definitely like him!” Mira shouted after her. Laura ignored her and shut the door, locking it so Mira couldn’t barge in. Mira continued yelling for several minutes before giving up and storming into her own room. Laura let o

“I have to and it’s less than six months now” Laura said recounting the few days she already spent in his house. “But why would Chris ask to marry you? he is obviously the type to get any girl he wants, did you have something on him?” Ella questioned “Is that what you could think of? What do you take me for?” Laura hissed unable to understand why everyone is so fazed by Chris. “Anyways, I am happy you broke up with Avan” Ella commented and Laura stare at her “We both know very well that I don’t like him, you liked him so much then that I had no other choice besides, Chris treats you better than he ever did” “That’s not true” Laura argued “it is what you choose to believe then, I guess your thoughts have changed now” Ella pointed out to her “I…I don’t really know, didn’t really give it any thoughts” Laura stuttered “Enough about me, let’s talk about you what have you been up to for the past three years” she questioned “Not much, just doing this and that” she answered b
