Chapter 306 - Both Are Stubborn

Viona cried herself to sleep in front of the door because she was too tired from all that had happened lately. She finally woke up when she felt someone caress her cheek with the scent she had memorized. 

"Mom ...!!"

Viona screamed loudly when she opened her eyes. She felt that the touch she had just felt was the original touch of Mrs. Maria, who had just come to her dream in her short sleep. 

"Thank you, Mom ... thank you for coming to my dream even if it's only for a moment. Thank you also for the caress of your hand that I miss all these years, Mom," Viona sobbed softly as she touched her right cheek. She felt that she was really touched by her mother. 

Viona then got up from the floor and walked slowly towards the bed. A faint smile broke when she saw the clock on the wall. Apparently, she had been asleep for nearly thirty minutes on the floor. She slowly climbed onto the big bed and covered herself with her expensive blanket.

"It's been a long time since you came to my dream, Mom. It felt very nice to be hugged by you even in a dream. Come to my dreams often, Mom," Viona said quietly, closing her eyes. 

Viona had dreamed that she was sleeping with Mrs. Maria in her room. In that dream, Viona was still a sixteen year old teenager who was very spoiled by Mrs. Maria. She laughed freely without any burden when she was being hugged by her mother. She even could still remember her mother's sweet words in her dreams.

"I will be strong for my baby, Mom. I'm sure I can get through this. Thank you for your advice," Viona muttered softly before she finally fell asleep with a smiling face.

Fernando came out of his room after he finished playing cards with Laura where the woman was asleep on the bed. Fernando slowly walked to the main room where Viona slept. Actually, there was a feeling of guilt in him when he did all his actions, but he was forced to do it because he wanted to show Viona that he could do anything, including bringing another woman home. At first, Fernando hoped that she would cry and apologize to him when she saw him bringing a woman home, but Viona did not say anything, which made him feel annoyed because he felt he was not considered by Viona. So he brought Laura back home, even though he didn't actually do anything with Laura in the room because he was just joking with her. 

"You started the first time, Viona, I just followed your game," Fernando said softly as he slowly stroked the doorknob of his room. 

After saying that, Fernando then went to the first floor to get the wine in the new storage cellar, after he broke into the old storage place where Viona found a secret passage in his expensive wine cellar. Because Fernando walked slowly, no one noticed that he was coming down from the second floor, while right now in the dining room there were a gathering of maids who were wiping the dining table and putting some tableware back on the dining table to be used the next morning.

"I feel very sorry for Madam." 

"Yes, me too. I did not even dare to breathe while guarding Madame to walk up the stairs earlier."

"I still don't understand why he brought that woman home, even though she's nothing compared to Madame." 

"Don't equate Madame with a woman like that. Madame is an admirable doctor and a respectable woman. That pretentious woman is not at the same level with Madame." 

"Yes, you're right. I still remember the incident this morning when the woman came down from the second floor and shouted like some a forest woman asking for water and dared to speak harshly to Madame. " 

"Obviously, her level is completely different from that woman, you guys don't talk nonsense. Madame is the best woman who deserves to be by Master's side. I don't think that Master can find a substitute for Madame." 

"What all of you say is true, Madame is a great woman. But her life was very miserable because she had to see her husband bring a woman home. I'm sure right now her feelings must be very devastated. I really pity our Madame. No woman is okay after seeing her husband bringing a woman home." 

Fernando was stunned to hear the words of his maids who talked about Viona. His legs were like being nailed in place when the maids said that this morning Laura had screamed and snapped at Viona because she wanted to ask for some water. Even though he and Viona were in a cold war, he didn't want anyone to hurt Viona's heart.

"I just want to hear your apologies Vio, why are you so selfish to hold your pride this high?" said Fernando quietly without realizing it.

Fernando who intended to go to his basement had to cancel his intention, because he had lost his mood after the maids talked about Laura and Viona. 

"Should we talk to Master?" said a maid softly

"What do you mean?" asked the other maid.

"We must tell Master not to continue to hurt Madame. A pregnant woman is very vulnerable. I'm afraid something will happen to her womb, although for the past two days Madame has always said she's okay, but I'm sure she must not be okay right now," replied the first maid sadly. 

Bam!

Fernando was like being struck by lightning when he heard his maid's last words. He quickly climbed the stairs to the room where Laura was sleeping. His mind was very uneasy at this time before talking to William. After arriving in his room, he then walked to the sofa to get his cell phone in his suit. Because he had destroyed his old cell phone, Fernando then ordered Justin to buy him a new one and now he was holding his new cell phone where no one knew the number, except Justin and Harry, because he had changed the last number on his old number.

Fernando dialed William's number without a single mistake. He already knew his best friend's phone number. 

"Damn, where are you, why don't you pick up?" said Fernando irritably, talking to himself because he had called William three times without any answer.

"Wake up, Will ... pick it up ..."

"Hello, who is this?" asked William hoarsely, because he was sleeping.

"Damn you, it's me, why do you have to ask again huh?!!" Fernando replied loudly.

"Me ... Who is me?" asked William in confusion, staring at his cell phone screen where a new number appeared that was not in his phone contact list.

"I'm Fernando, bastard!! Who else is calling you in the middle of the night like this but me, huh?" Fernando replied, shouting out of patience.

"Fernando… but this number…"

"This is my new number and you don't have to ask why I'm changing numbers, you better listen to what I say because I'm not going to repeat it a second time," Fernando said, curtly interrupting William, who was still confused. 

William finally believed that the person who was calling was Fernando, because no one else dared to speak harshly to him. 

"What do you want?" asked William quietly.

"I want you to come to my house tomorrow morning and check on Viona's condition properly with Professor Erick. I want to make sure that my child who is being conceived by Viona is fine," Fernando replied quickly.

"Why do you suddenly want me to come to your house to check on Viona? Isn't it better if you just escorted her to the hospital?" asked William again. 

"You already know the answer is, jerk, why do you have to ask me again? Just do what I tell you, William, and don't argue. Alright then, I want to go to bed, it's almost three in the morning," Fernando replied in a rising voice before hanging up.

William put his cell phone back on the nightstand next to his bed. He then laid back down, covering his body.

"When will the two of you stop hurting each other like this? I know you really love your wife, Fernando. But you should soften up a little to her. Viona is not the same as your women in the past. You should have another way to take her heart, instead of pouring oil on a burning fire like this," said William quietly, remembering his last encounter with Viona in the garden at Fernando's mansion. He knew that in fact Viona also loved Fernando, he could see the regret and guilt in her eyes, whom he met this morning.

"Love is rubbish hoaaammmm…. Fernando is just a jerk for disturbing my sleep," said William quietly as he yawned and closed his eyes again because he was still sleepy. He had a big task tomorrow morning that was just given by Fernando.
