Ch. 39FUTURE WIFE


Future daughter-in-law? Mr. B—um, I mean, Sebastian-apparently he wasn't joking that night when he said he was looking for a wife.

"What is it, Raveline?"Amelie looked at me a little surprised and handed me a tissue. "Drink it slowly, what made you hurry until you chokes like that," added Amelie.

"Thank you, Mel," I replied, grabbing a tissue from Amelie's hand.

For a moment, the three of us continued eating quietly. Despite not speaking, my thoughts were filled with questions and curiosity after hearing what Amelie and Sebastian had said earlier. Is it true that Sebastian is seriously looking for a future wife? What are the criteria for the future wife he is looking for? Why did his mother ask him to find a future daughter-in-law? This really makes me very curious.

"El... Hello, El?"Sarah waved her hand in front of my face. Her expression looked confused, "what's wrong with you? I spoke to you, but you didn't focus."

Oh, my God! I immediately apologized to Sarah. "Sorry, Sist. I have a lot on my mind. What did you just say?"I asked, looking at Sarah sitting in front of me. Today we did plan to have lunch together, after two days ago our dinner plans were canceled because Sarah suddenly had to finish important business.

"I didn't say anything, just asked, What do you want?"Sarah handed me the menu book. "This... Just pick your self."

I picked up the menu book, then started choosing the food and drinks I wanted to order. After ordering, we continue the conversation.

"What are you thinking, El?"Sarah asked," it's so weird to be out of focus like before."

I still remain silent.

"Oh my dear God? El... what's wrong with you? What's the problem? It looks quite complicated, a matter of college or... another problem?"Sarah asked anxiously. I'm sure he's thinking I'm involved in something very big and troubling for me.

I reached for a glass of mineral water and drank a little before answering Sarah's question. "I was thinking, I guess ... is it possible that I could also have the same opportunity? Can i register as a prospective daughter-in-law..."I said slowly, half mumbling.

Instantly Sarah looked at me in surprise and bewilderment, "huh? What do you mean, Raveline, future daughter-in-law?Did I hear you wrong? Jesus Christ! Are you kidding me?"

I squeezed my hair a little annoyed, "Oh dear God, what should I do? I'm obviously very very serious!"

"You know, Sebastian said he was looking for a future wife... Amelie said her mother asked to find a future daughter-in-law. What am I supposed to do, Brother?"I asked a little desperate.

"Oh my god, El, I think you're in big trouble!"Sarah glared while pretending to be angry, her lips advanced while mumbling indistinctly. I laughed a little at Sarah who was nagging indistinctly. "Sorry... I don't know who to ask but you, Sarah. Actually, Mr. B once said that he liked me and was serious about me... only that time I refused."

"Hmm, are you serious, El, with your feelings? I mean, are you sure you really like Mr. B, aka Sebastian? Have you forgotten who's Sebastian's parents are? Before deciding to become his future wife, are you sure his family is also ready to accept you? If only Sebastian could guarantee that, anyway, no problem."Sarah said her words in a thoughtful tone, making me realize that the Rosaline that Mr. B likes is a slutty woman who sells her body for money.

"I think you should approach Sebastian as Raveline, not as Miss Rose. Later, over time, if he really likes you, and seriously wants to get married, and he's willing to accept all your shortcomings, then that's it... you can told him about your past as Rosaline..."Sarah's advice sounds convincing.

Hearing Sarah's advice, I felt it was indeed a little bit relief. Approaching Sebastian as Raveline was a wiser move.

"Your advice sounds reasonable. I think I'll take your advice, Sist."I smiled a knot.

"Well Then, it's time your turn to hear me ... now listen carefully to what I will tell you about the two days of my departure."This time Sarah's face looks very serious. I immediately gulped, because if Sarah was already serious like that, usually what she would tell me was a very important matter.

"What trouble, now?"I asked with a little anxiety, looking at Sarah's movements that looked unsettled. I can guess the direction of the conversation,it must be about Sylvia

"It's all about Sylvia. Turns out she didn't just run away, El."Sarah was shocked. "She turned out to be getting married soon."My guess turned out to be correct.

"Really? Isn't it great, sis, that she's getting married soon?"

"Yes, the marriage is not a problem, El. It's just that she's getting married to one of Wonderland's clients! Isn't it the main requirement of all Wonderland employees not to have relationships with customers outside of Wonderland's working hours?"Sarah sighed. "Sylvia clearly violated that! She deliberately entered into a serious relationship with a client, and from what I heard, her future husband was already married, El!"

"Are you serious? Am I the same, with Mr. B? Mr. B and I are also in a relationship outside of Wonderland business hours."

"Damn, El, that's different. You guys also know each other in the real world, especially when it turns out that in the real world Mr. B is Sebastian, the older brother of your best friend. And I know you won't act rashly like Sylvia." Sarah sigh.

"Yeah, too bad, anyway..."I agree with Sarah. "Besides, I can't necessarily marry Sebastian either. "Thank you for your consideration," I said, taking a deep breath.

Sarah laughed as she watched me breathe. "Oh, dear Raveline ... only this time I saw you fickle and back and forth changing stance. I'm sure you're right, if you did fall in love half to death with Mr. B. Oh, my god... finally after a long wait, the cold El managed to open the heart!"

"What the hell, sist ..."I laughed along. "Oh by the way sis, then who is Sylvia's future husband?"

"There The problem, El. There is still no clear information about who Sylvia's future husband will be. To be sure, he's one of Wonderland's regulars customer. Right now, the person I hired is still looking for information related to Sylvia's future husband."
