Chapter 305 - Missed Mom

After announcing his engagement to Louisa, Frank's name had become the trending topic again on all social and electronic media platforms. They then hunted for news about Louisa who was currently Frank's fiancée. They also tried to find Frank's luxury yacht which would be used as the wedding venue, where no one knew that Frank owned a cruise ship, except Fernando. Because Frank had not shown his wealth in public so far, unlike his older brother who openly showed the luxury items he owned. It seemed as if he was covering up his nightly entertainment business from everyone.

"Okay then, I'll go home now, it's very late. You two take a rest, in two days you will get married," said Fernando quietly, saying goodbye to Frank and Louisa, who had just finished their dinner together. 

"Thanks for today," said Frank briefly. 

"Don't be so awkward, who do you think I am? Well, I'm going home now, bye," said Fernando quietly as he walked toward the restaurant door, leaving Frank and Louisa, who were still enjoying the expensive wine after finishing their steaks. 

After holding a press conference, Fernando invited his younger brother and Louisa to go out to dinner together to discuss their wedding plans. Apparently, Frank didn't want his wedding to be too lavish considering that currently Louisa had no father or mother. Therefore he chose to do a simple wedding by inviting the closest people and having the party on his yacht. 

"I didn't know you also have a cruise ship," Louisa said quietly with a smile. 

"Don't forget I am also a Willan, the second prince in town," Frank said, boasting.

"Ugh how annoying, you're being so arrogant like that," Louisa fiercely sulked. 

"Hahaha you look even prettier when you're angry, Lou," said Frank, seducing Louisa. 

"Really annoying, you always tease me ..." 

"Thank you for accepting my request, Lou. I know I have made so many mistakes to you, but trust me. I will change and live a happy life with you," said Frank, cutting off Louisa's words.

"Thank you also for choosing me, Frank," replied Louisa with teary eyes.

"After the wedding, we will live happily ever after, I promise you," Frank said quietly as he kissed her hand. 

Louisa's face was immediately flushed for being treated like that by Frank in a public place, tears of joy dripping unstoppable. Frank deftly wiped her tears using the handkerchief he took from his coat pocket. 

"Don't cry here, you can only cry in bed when I ..." 

"Frank ... this is a public place," Louisa hissed in shock when she heard the words of her fiancée who teased her.Frank laughed at her panicked expression. 

He then took her home as it was already late in the evening. Tomorrow they had to go to the civil registry office to register their marriage before making holy vows at the altar.

All the way back to the mansion, Fernando smiled when he remembered what he had just done. He was relieved that finally his younger brother was really serious about having a relationship with Louisa. 

"After you marry her, I hope you don't disturb Vi ..."

Fernando couldn't finish his words because suddenly the car Luke was driving suddenly stopped. This was because the two cars in front of them were doing the same thing. Apparently in front of the mansion gate, Laura was already standing in her sexy clothes while blocking the gate. She didn't want to leave the place and insisted on waiting for Fernando to come home. 

"Now that's Mr. Fernando's car, I know the car," Laura screamed with joy, pointing to the car that Fernando was riding in third. 

"Miss ... I hope you ..." Bruno couldn't finish his words because Laura was already running towards where Fernando was. 

She had been standing for almost an hour in front of the gate wearing only a beautiful thin dress waiting for Fernando. 

"Sir ..." 

"It's okay, Luke, I'll meet her. I still need her," said Fernando, quickly interrupting Lukas' words.

"Okay, I understand sir," said Luke softly, nodding his head. 

Seeing Laura approaching made Fernando smile. He then got out of his car slowly to greet Laura who was jogging towards his direction with a broad smile. 

"Sir ..." said Laura with a sassy tone when she arrived in front of Fernando. 

"Why did you come here?" Fernando asked Laura who had clung to him, pretending to be attentive. 

"I miss you, sir, I can't call you all day long so I ..."

"Oh yeah my cell phone was left behind at home. I didn't know you called me, Laura," Fernando lied. 

"So your cell phone is left behind, apparently. No wonder I can't contact you. I thought you ..." 

"Hey beautiful don't talk like that. Come on in. I know you must be cold standing outside. Forgive my guards who detained you, they only obeyed my orders," said Fernando, again interrupting Laura's words.

"No problem, sir, I can wait for you longer," Laura blushed. 

She was happy because Fernando cared for her. Fernando smiled seeing Laura's face flushed. His plan to use Laura seemed to be going smoothly. Soon the gate was opened. Fernando then invited Laura to get into the car to enter his mansion. He hoped that this time Viona was not sleeping, because it was still nine at night. He hoped that Viona saw him bringing Laura this time, because last night he failed to show Laura to Viona. 

Arriving in front of the mansion, several maids immediately ran towards Fernando. They were seen busy opening the doors for Fernando and Laura. None of the servants spoke when they saw Laura returned. They could only be silent and bowed when they saw the master brought the woman who had just returned home earlier this morning. Including Teddy, who was only silent when he saw Justin and Harry came down first and gave a code to him that the master was bringing the woman home again. 

"Welcome home, sir," said Teddy, softly greeted Fernando. 

"Evening, Teddy. Oh right, have you eaten, Laura?" Fernando replied quietly, as he asked Laura. 

"I'm not used to having dinner, sir, I'm afraid I'll get fat, If I'm fat, I'm not beautiful anymore and if I'm not beautiful then you don't ..." 

"Don't talk nonsense, I still like you. Well, let's go clean yourself and then we'll have dinner," Fernando said, cutting Laura's words as he quickly put his arm around Laura's waist.

"Fine, sir, if that's what you want, I can only obey," Laura said in a spoiled manner. 

Fernando laughed at her words. He then stepped into the house while continuing to hold Laura tightly. His hope that Viona saw him came true. Apparently, Viona had just finished dinner. She was still sitting at the dining table when Fernando came in with Laura. Fernando quickly carried Laura in bridal style which surprised Laura, who then screamed loudly in shock. 

"Sir, I am surprised ..." Laura said softly with a sigh and hit Fernando on the chest. 

"I don't want you to get tired of going upstairs, I don't want your beautiful legs to hurt because of that, let me carry you upstairs," said Fernando loudly as he kissed Laura's forehead. He deliberately said it loudly so that Viona could hear him.

"Ah you're naughty, sir. I belong to you, sir," Laura replied briefly, placing her head on Fernando's chest.

"Alright, then let's go up. I can't wait to spend the night with you again," said Fernando excitedly.

"Yes, sir ..."

Smack! 

Laura did not finish her words because she was kissed by Fernando right next to Viona who was still sitting at the dining table. After crushing Laura's lips for a while, Fernando then continued his steps without guilt towards the second floor. Laura's two hands were wrapped around his neck. She seemed very happy to be close to Fernando.

Crash! 

The glass held by Viona fell on the plate in front of her, making all her clothes wet and dirty when Fernando was no longer visible on the stairs. Viona did not eat anything from morning except for a few pieces of fruit. And tonight she could only eat a few pieces of grilled meat and vegetables and fruit, but when she finished eating, she saw the painful scene that she could not hold her glass properly. 

"Madame, are you okay?" said some of the maids who were beside the dining table while approaching Viona, who looked down at her dirty clothes. 

"Your lady is fine, right ..." 

"O - of course I - I'm fine," Viona replied in a trembling voice. 

Still looking down, she didn't have the strength to raise her face. 

"Then let me take you to your room, Madame. Your clothes are dirty, Madame," said Rita, the most senior servant, while trying to touch Viona's body, who was shaking violently. 

Viona fended off the maid's hand from touching her. She then raised her face slowly, looking at the maids who stood in front of her worriedly. 

"I - I'm fine, look I can-smile right?" Viona said quietly, smiling and staring at the faces of her maids in turn. 

Gulp! 

The five maids in the dining room unconsciously took their steps back when they saw Viona's expression who was now staring at her. She was smiling at them dejectedly. How could she not? Right now, Viona really seemed to force herself to smile even though her eyes were already filled with tears that was ready to pour out, it was very obvious that she tried very hard not to cry right now. 

"I - I'm going to the room, thanks for the dinner ..." Viona stuttered while holding her chest which felt very tight, her breath seemed to fluctuate when she spoke like that. 

"Madame ..."

Viona raised her hand, holding the maids from going closer to her, giving a signal that she was fine and didn't need help. She then turned around and walked slowly towards the stairs. When she climbed the stairs, her legs were shaking. Some of the maids who were worried immediately ran to the stairs. They seemed to be guarding Viona from behind to avoid unwanted things. 

Ordinary people would only need two minutes to go up to the second floor, but it had been ten minutes now and Viona was still walking on the stairs with both hands seemingly holding onto the stairs so as not to fall. The maids who were behind her seemed to be patiently guarding her. They actually escorted Viona to her room safely. 

After entering a combination of numbers to open Viona's door and then entering her room, she couldn't stand it since she arrived on the second floor, hearing the laughter of Fernando and the woman he brought home to his room. Viona wanted to cover her ears with a pillow right now. 

"Madam ..." 

"I-it's fine, I - I can go in myself, thank you," Viona said sincerely refusing the help of the maids to help her into the room.

"Yes, Madame, if you'll excuse us," said the three maids. 

Viona then nodded her head slowly. She then entered the room and closed the door quickly. She leaned against the large door and slumped down slowly. The tears she had been holding back for a while were unstoppable. She was crying behind the door of her room until she sobbed. She called out Mrs. Maria's name repeatedly in her cry. 

"Mom ... I'm not strong, Mom hoo hoo ... take me with you, Mom ... boohoo …"
