“Laurel.” Aaron gently grabbed Laurel's finger who was walking away. “Please listen to me first.”
Laurel looked at Aaron angrily. “Why did you have to bring me into this situation, Aaron? She, the girl seemed to really hate me and seemed to want to get rid of me. She knows that we are married and on our honeymoon, but she still comes and doesn't care about me.”
“I'll kick her out, right away. Meanwhile we must restrain ourselves.” Aaron grabbed Laurel's fingers and kissed them. “I hate her presence too, Laurel, hate it more than you, but Clarissa is a cruel woman. I'm afraid that if we're not careful, she'll do something bad to you.”
Laurel sighed then took a deep breath. “Yes, Aaron, I'm sorry, maybe I'm too confused by all this.”
“I should apologize for putting you in this kind of situation.” Aaron took Laurel in his arms. “We'll deal with her together, okay?&rdquo

“Now it's just the two of us.”Clarissa smiled seductively and plopped down on the soft sofa in the library, then crossed her legs defiantly.“Sit down, Aaron, it's strange that we're talking so far apart,” she invited him who had been standing while leaning on his desk at the end of the room.Aaron's face was cold, not responding to Clarissa's invitation. “Why are you here, Clare, what's your goal?”“Can I not? I miss you, Aaron, miss our times together.”“I'm married and now on my honeymoon. I think that's clear enough for you.”“Whether you're married or not doesn't really matter to me.

“Actually she was about to leave today, but she fell down the stairs and sprained it. Now she can only go after she can walk. I can't get rid of her now,” Aaron explained when Laurel joined in for breakfast in the dining room half an hour later. “My apologies, Laurel, for this deteriorating situation.”Laurel took a sip of her coffee and tried to smile at him. “It's okay, Aaron, it's very rude to kick a guest who is sick after all.”Aaron stared at Laurel sharply, as if to peel her heart away. “She won't bother you anymore. I told her that I love you and she can't expect anything from me.”And I love you too, Aaron, Laurel muttered to herself. Of course, she still did not dare say it, afraid of his reaction. Her chest felt tight and mixed, so she chose to keep it for now and reveal it later, when she was more certain._______________“I'm sorry I wasn't there this morning when you fell.

Laurel was pensive in her room, still confused about what Clarissa said earlier. The woman said that Aaron always imagined her when making love, always said her name. How could it be? Laurel didn't know Aaron before, did she? Was the Laurel that Aaron imagined was another Laurel? Laurel's heart felt like it was being squeezed. Could it be? Could it be that an impulsive marriage and all this hastily done because Aaron wanted a surrogate for the Laurel he loved? After all, with Laurel, Aaron does not have to bother as much as with Clarissa, because she has the same name.

“So she fell down the stairs and sprained it, and then you didn't throw her out and instead took care of her?” Aamber almost screamed on the other end, causing Aaron slightly push his phone away. “Yes, she agreed to go and was about to pack up, when the accident happened.” “Sounds like intentional to me!” Aamber's tone was reproachful. “Are you sure she really went through that? Maybe she's just acting hurt.” “Her leg was really swollen and my doctor looked at her, so she really did have a sprain.” Aaron sighed. “Though I can't guess whether she dropped herself on purpose or not.” “Given Clarissa's nature, she might as well do.” Aamber looked worried. “Then what about you and Laurel?” Aaron smiled reminiscing when Laurel's name was mentioned. Laurel, his Laurel. The woman said she loved him so tenderly. Laurel loves him, for the sake of the angels! It felt like all his weight was lifted and his body became light. This is how it
