The Destiny of a Substitute Mother
Chapters. 123 Marriage Deal

"If you still doubt this child, it's okay, I'm not marrying you" Rosemary said coldly.

"I just want a belief that the boy is my son. Maybe a statement from you."

"So Kane saw Dee again in Papua, exactly three months ago, Kane ignored me. If asked when was the last time I slept with her, maybe almost a year. He only comes when he needs to. After that he ...," said Rosemary sadly, then fell silent unable to continue her words. Even though Kane has him fishing, the man is not interested in him.

"It's sad, but I don't regret it because of all my life choices. Together with Kane it's a big thing I've always wanted to do even if I had to pay for it."

David's lips clenched tightly to hear Rosemary's statement. Why his life isn't as easy as Kane's life having what he wants. Job, company, loving wife and cute kids. Whereas he from the beginning only didctrin should be more than Kane.

Kane was the benchmark for his parents' success. They never saw him. Just Kane and Kane. Now even the woman who is going to marry him can only see Kane, not himself. Fortunately this child is not Kane's son.

So the accusation of his father saying if he impregnates Rose so that his son can later control Kane's company in that way, if Rose so married Kane is a big mistake. David himself is not sure Rose is pregnant with his child because Rose has been living together with two men.

After all he himself knows if Rose loves Kane so why would he marry a woman who loves another man. However, when Kane confidently said that Rose was not pregnant the child made her a little happy.

I don't know why but there is a sense of disbelief if his son will be another boy let alone Kane. This was his only possession that he would defend and no one would be able to admit it. Others are not entirely his right. The treasure is still in his father's name and his life is not his own. Everything was arranged by his mother.

Now he wants to have something he has himself and that is his right. Even though he has to live with a woman who doesn't love him it doesn't matter but he has a child who will love him and he has.

David waited for Rose to fall asleep until tomorrow. The woman is actually healthy only she needs calm. He also nearly committed suicide many times for not accepting the reality of parting with Kane. Is that how much Rose loved Kane? Can a woman love him like that? It didn't seem like it was because he also liked to play with women.

The next morning when Rose woke up she saw her father and her mother were already in the room. Same with Linda's stepmother.

"You've come to your senses, dear," said Goddess Ling, approaching Rose.

"Mother, are you here?"

"Yes, I flew right here as soon as Linda called if you were sick." Goddess Ling rubbed gently Rose's hair.

Rosemary smiled wryly.

"Rose seems like your condition has stabilized. We'll take you home today" Ben said.

"Not just to my house? We haven't been together for a long time, last met half a year ago when you came with Kane."

"Our relationship is over" Rosemary said.

"You're not married to Kane? Wh why? He's the perfect guy."

'The perfect one is not mine, ' inner Rosemary.

"Kane already has his own family" Ben explained.

"Oh, what's his udik wife?" said Dewi fast. Remember what happened five years ago.

"Did I say that wrong? Isn't she the woman from the orphanage who isn't level with us. Cindy hated him too. He uh..," he said in a disgusted tone.

"Rose is getting married to David, Kane's younger brother. It's better for Rose to marry a single man than to marry a married man."

Rosemary was surprised, how did her father know that she was married to David? Did David tell his father?

"David? Not so bad," said Goddess Ling. "At least you're not married to an ordinary man because you're going to hurt my reputation."

Rosemary took a deep breath. Linda approached and touched Rosemary's soft back.

"Whoever the man is, I hope Rose marries a man who will love her and accept her sincerely so that she can take care of Rose with all her heart. Although Kane is a great guy but being second is not good. I'd rather go than be the one to ruin another woman's life."

Yeah, he loved Dee's dad back then. It's just that after he found out Dee's father had a family he decided to split up. She doesn't want to be a hidden wife because Dee's father's job forbids her from marrying twice. He apologized to his family and wanted to be back with them.

Unfortunately, she was pregnant at the time. His family gave him only two choices. Aborting or discarding the child after birth. They do not want to endure the disgrace of family.

After the baby was born, her parents told someone to throw the baby away. Linda can't do anything. It was only when his father was about to die that he said that Dee was thrown into an orphanage. Linda looked for him there. Honey, the orphanage is already on fire. Fortunately he was able to see Dee's burial place of Mother Panti. Now he can see Dee again even though the boy can't accept it wholeheartedly.

"Oh, yeah we're getting ready to go home now" Linda said.

***

Two days later, Rosemary and David's wedding will finally take place. Everything is done simply. Rosemary is still traumatized by her failed marriage the other day. He also did not want anyone to know about this marriage. He also asked that Kane not be told about this.

When Rosemary enters the room where the contract will be held. He looked towards David who came alone along with his assistant. No one else, including her parents.

David looked at her without blinking. Then smile. Rosemary sat down next to David.

"Why is it so simple" whispered Goddess Ling to Linda. He didn't know everything that happened before this wedding. His face looks dissatisfied. She wants her son's wedding to look fancy.

"Where's the Park Yang family?"

"They haven't approved of this marriage yet, so David came alone."

"For what reason, they didn't approve of my son's marriage? She deserves to be their daughter-in-law rather than the orphanage woman" Dewi Ling said.

"Mom, the woman whose mother denigrated her was the daughter of Linda's mother" Rosemary said she was unhappy about making her stepmother sad. He doesn't like Dee but he respects Linda.

Goddess Ling opened her mouth wide. He looked at Linda who was smiling awkwardly at him.

Linda who she thought was perfect turned out to have a dark side as well. Thought Goddess Ling.
