"It's okay," Hadley answered, bored knowing Maurice wasn't asking because he feels like it. Maurice looked around the slumped shoulder of the woman in front of him and he wondered why he felt like she was shouldering a heavy load."I am sure my sister-in-law would find her way out by using her card as your wife," Carolina says knowing Maurice hates it when someone acts dirty like that, she was literally digging a put for Hadley."What? Did you do that?" Maurice asked his voice grave but Hadley didn't even give him a glance."I hope I can do that but I don't want some crazy girl on my back. I heard you are one of the most eligible bachelors in town? I love my head so I would keep it intact," Hadley says and at that time the elevator opened and Hadley stepped out."Then goodbye Mr. Elliot and ..," Hadley trailed looking at Carolina without mentioning her name till the elevator door closed up.Hadley sighed heavily when she saw the door closed and her expression was complicated."It's a
Hadley looked at Maurice eyes wide open and she wondered how she was going to lie her way through this."I..was..I mean..that was..," Hadley stuttered trying to find the plausible lie that she could find but she found none because was she going to say she stopped being allergic to strawberry overnight?Maurice looked at Hadley who was having hard time processing her thought as she bit her lips hard and he smirked not understanding what was going wrong but he knew one thing for sure something was definitely going wrong."What did you mean? I am not allergic to strawberry," Hadley says, trying her luck because she knew Ella and Maurice were not close before their marriage so there was no way he would know about her allergy."Really? That was not what was in the report I got the other day," Maurice says, amused, rubbing his pink lips and Hadley eyes widened.Report? He had his fiancee checked? She gulped at the realization that her lies might have been caught but she still put up a swee
The whole family looked at Maurice in shock not believing what he just said because it was just not believable. How could he say there were no rashes despite the physical touch?He had had the disorder for so many years. How could he get cured of it overnight? And with just a touch?It was hard to believe. They knew better than anyone how he struggled with the disorder for years.They knew how he consulted different therapists and psychologists because of the disorder so what now."What did you mean, Maurice?" Maurice's mother asked walking towards her son and her eyes were already dampened with tears.She can not just believe what she just heard but the spotless face of her son after the physical touch was already enough proof that it was true.Hadley looked at the scene in front of her and she felt like she should just disappear because she just does not understand what was going on.Why are they fussing over small body contact? She could just apologize if it was going to become an
Hadley looked at Maurice and she wondered what was going on in his head. She knew she could not convince herself that what she did was nothing but she must not believe it.She can not tie herself to the family by being what they just assumed she was because she would be leaving soon and that was it."I don't know what you are trying to believe Mr Elliot but it's definitely not what you are thinking," Hadley says firmly and she avoids Maurice's face.Maurice looked at the woman that was trying all her might to not keep a gaze with him and he noticed that she was struggling with herself.Like she was battling with something and he was going to find out."I still think you were different," Maurice says and before Hadley could counterattack Maurice grabbed her hand and Hadley shrieked at the sudden body contact."What the fuck are you doing?" She shrieked looking for any possible rashes on Maurice's body and it was true the rashes were there.They appeared again.Hadley looked at the rash
After the scenario at the ancestral mansion entrance and everyone was sure that the family was no longer acting up, the whole family decided to go in and settle to have dinner.Hadley looked at the big dining hall and she wondered if they were going to have other people joining them because it just can not be only the Elliot family going to dine in the big dining hall. Maybe that is the way of the rich, Hadley thought.The maids started dishing the food and Hadley already started salivating seeing so much food. Did she say that she was angry? Then she was no more angry not after seeing so much feast."Ella," grandpa Elliot called and Hadley teared her eyes away from the food to look at the man. "You really did great today," the man complimented and Hadley felt awkward.Why are they all making it hard for her, she pondered and she saw that almost all of the family were looking at her with grateful eyes.Carolina that witnessed the show of appreciation was beyond angry and she cursed Ha
Maurice walked down the stairs, his shoes clanking off the floor as he approached the dining hall where Hadley was doing justice to her food.Maurice stared at the woman's back and he felt that she was worrying about something really bad and that he does not why but he was not concerned too.She has been worried ever since they got married due to her irrational actions.Maurice woke to the edge of the table like always but Hadley did not even raise her head to look at him.Great, she does not care either.After Hadley finished eating she stood up from the table like a lifeless dummy."I would be going to work now," Hadley announced and without waiting for Maurice's reply she left.The maid that was in the living room was shocked. Is that really their madam? Why was she so quiet? Even Maurice was dumbfounded.Hadley walked out of the house and the chauffeur offered to take her but she declined.She wasn't going to the office to start with but she was going out to meet someone.She nee
Hadley stood impatiently at the section of woman's clothing that was where her twin sister asked her to wait for her and she waited for approximately 30 minutes but there was still no sign of her." What's wrong with her?" Hadley mumbled, getting impatient already that her twin sister was taking her time.She had to get to work in time, Hadley complained but she paused when she thought of the possibility that she might actually switch places with her sister if she got to the place meaning she does not have to worry about that."I just hope she gets here quick," Hadley says, getting out of the clothing section and looking out to the busy mall. Maybe she could catch a glimpse of someone that looks like her.They were identical, right? She just has to look for the girl that has the same face as her.Ella that was on the other side of the mall looked at her twin sister with tears in her eyes and she felt an emotion surge in her heart."It's nice meeting you Hadley," Ella muttered looking
Inside a not-so-spacious office designed elegantly with a table and three desks, Hadley was seen standing upright in front of her supervisor as she gets herself busy with work not minding the girl that was standing in front of her.Hadley looked at her supervisor that was not sparing her a glance and she felt the urge to roll her eyes.She decided to use the time that she was being ignored to think about what happened at the mall.If Maurice had not come to the mall at that time, it was likely for her not to miss her things and by this time she might be the one that was going to be standing in front of the strict-looking woman.God, I hate this life, Hadley lamented knowing her life in the countryside might not be peaceful but at least she was not walking eggshells around anyone."Did you wanna sit and make yourself more comfy," Sandra heard the supervisor's stern voice and that was enough to get Sandra up from the armchair she was sitting on and she wondered how she got there.Was sh
