Dale’s Arrange Wife (ENGLISH VERSION)

I presented to bring her to the hospital. We went straight to the emergency room because Hendrick was there for first aid. When we arrived Lauren went to him. The asshole looks ok except for the cut on his lip and the bandage on his hand.

I didn’t go near them anymore. We caught up with Hendrick who was talking to two police officers who also investigated Carmona’s case. I was just standing not far from them. I just want to make sure that she arrived here safely that’s why I am here.

Lauren’s face shows concern for her boyfriend. when the two policemen finished talking to them, they also left and came to me.

“Mr. Dy.”

“Yes?”

“Can we talk for a moment?”

“I think my brother said that if you want to know something you can talk to his lawyer.”

“This is not about Miss Carmona’s case.” I frowned because of what he said.

“What do you mean?”

“This is about what happened to Mr. Lee.” I looked at Hendrick who was giving me a bad look. Lauren is currently standing beside her. The two of them are not that close, so we are still safe from the issue.

“What about him?” The two police officers looked at each other before one answered.

“Where were you around eight to nine?” I didn’t answer, looked at them first then looked at Hendrick and looked back at them.

“Am I suspect to Hendrick’s case?”

“Yes, but what Mr. Lee, he has no enemies and no one has offended him except you. You two have a misunderstanding. He can’t say because it’s personal, but apart from you, he doesn’t know anyone else who is angry. Miss Lauren—-your wife also confirmed that you seem to be having a misunderstanding.”

“Yes, there is. Because he always bugs my wife. Jealousy? No. They have a business together and he keeps calling my wife.” One police officer nodded while the other looked at the two and then looked back at me.

“But I am not a criminal nor a fool to threaten him. What am I as stupid as him? I will ruin myself with a friend like him while I can bring him down in other ways.” The two policemen did not answer when one spoke.

“Where were you at the times I mentioned.”

“At Isa beach, where Carmona was killed.” They both looked at each other. “Around five to eight I am at Cupid bar. I was there even when the bar was closed until the crowd got bigger. My brother owns the bar and he allows me to stay even if it’s close. You can check the camera there. Around eight when the people started to get crowded and I left. I went to Isa beach because I wanted to look at the scene and maybe see something that the police didn’t see.”

“Do you have a witness?”

“Yup, a barangay guard, he stopped me because he said it’s not allowed to go on a speed boat. We talked there. His name is Lando Macapagal.”

“Talking about what?”

“Find out, go there so you can prove I’m there.” They didn’t answer so I looked at the two who were talking. “Am I a suspect and will you arrest me? So I can talk to my lawyer.”

“No. Mr. Lee just said that you are the only one he knows who hates him. But he didn’t file a case against you. We are just investigating.”

“Good.” I didn’t say anything more and left them. I didn’t pay attention to Lauren either. I never said goodbye to her. I don’t know what they’re talking about and I don’t care. I already know what that idiot said about me. The asshole is desperate.

I left the hospital and went home. I’m tired of drinking and nothing is happening. I’ll just put my annoyance and anger to sleep. It’s better to go home than to get lost and do something.

While driving I thought. Does someone want to kill that asshole? But who? Who would do it to him then? He’s an ass, but based on what I heard about him he is good. No one has ever been angry with him and he has no quarrel with anyone even at work.

I suddenly braked when I thought of something. Maybe my brother wouldn’t do that? I know that crazy person is crazy but he will not interrupt the weak. Especially if it’s like Hendrick who is easily discredited.

But what if he is? Shall I call to ask? What if not? That will only make me angry because I put him at odds. Only that man and my siblings will still have a misunderstanding because of him. Nah, no need. He will take care of his life.

I went home. I decided to sleep alone and empty my mind. I don’t want to think and even more, I don’t want to think about Lauren. Even though I’m hurt and annoyed by what’s happening, it’s probably better for us to just go to sleep. I was about to close my eyes when the door opened and she entered.

She did not talk to me. She just put on her pajamas again and then lay down next to me.

“Why did you go home? Shouldn’t you be there to accompany him?”

“His manager is already there.” I didn’t answer when she spoke again. “Why did you leave me?”

“I thought you would stay there.”

“Why would I do that? A lot can see me there.”

“I’m sorry, I was just shocked by what the police said.”

“Said what?”

“No, a part of an investigation. Not important.”

“Hubby.”

“Hmm?”This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Where did you go when you left here?”

“What?”

“Where did you come from before going home?”

“Did you make me doubt what happened to your boyfriend?”

“No, but I want to come directly to you where you are from before you go home.”

“Even if you don’t correct me, I know that you doubted me.”

“Hubby, not like that.”

“I won’t tell you anything. Believe what you want to believe. Believe that your boyfriend is a liar.”

“He’s not a liar.”

“Well, you don’t believe that I did it?”

“I didn’t say I believe but I know he’s not a liar. I believe someone attacked him. Also, he didn’t say it was you. The police asked him if he had a grudge against someone, naturally, he would answer you because that was the truth but he did not say that you were the one he suspected had done this to him. Because if he too believed it was you, he wouldn’t have picked you up and the police wouldn’t have let you go.”

I couldn’t answer what he said.

“I believe someone did something to him then and I believe it wasn’t you. I just want to know where you are. Because I also want to make sure that I didn’t make a mistake in defending you to him that you’re not a bad person and I’m sure you won’t hurt him.”

“Wife.”

“I hope, hubby before you overreact when it comes to Hendrick, you can think that he is not an opponent. Because after all he is my boyfriend but he is the one adjusting for me. Yes, I am your wife, but Hendrick and I both fell in love but I was with someone else. And I know it hurts him but because he loves me he let me. Because I’m committed to you. Maybe if he was as rich as you and as influential, he would have fought for me for a long time and I wouldn’t have married someone else because I know he can buy me even from my father, just don’t end up with someone else. The case is that he is not as rich as you, so even if he is hurt, he tolerates it. I hope hubby, you can think of me as your wife on paper but Hendrick is the one I really love and we are the ones who really love each other. So you are not against him because we are only married on paper.”

I wish you would have just stabbed me, Lauren. It’s like you killed me with what you said. Hendrick was right, my wife never loved me.
