Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

In the hallway at the back of the hotel, as soon as Micaela finished her phone call, she turned to see Matthew leaning against the hallway wall, as if waiting for her.

While it was to be expected that this brother of Nico’s definitely didn’t have anything nice to say to her when he approached her, it certainly wasn’t something he had to say to her if he dared to approach her under Nico’s nose.

Micaela asked in a joking tone, “Mr. Matthew made a point of coming out to talk to me alone, not a doggish attempt to confess his love for his brother’s wife, is it?”

“You are a rather self-absorbed woman. Although you’re beautiful like a fairy, I don’t have Nico’s taste for liking a woman without a conscience like you.”

Micaela giggled instead of laughed and said, “I advise Mr. Matthew to stop calling me ‘woman’, it’s not nice for Nico to hear that, so call me sister-in-law.”

Micaela remembered that Matthew was a year younger than Nico and it was only fair to call her sister-in-law.

“You!” Matthew ground his teeth in anger, the woman was eloquent and a formidable teacher.

Nico was afraid he would bully her, but who could bully a girl like Micaela?

Micaela more or less intimidates others.

Matthew took a deep breath, suppressing the fire in his chest, and said in an unkind tone, “Don’t think I don’t know that you married Nico because you saw Nico’s status and position. Nico was blinded by love and was fooled by you, and now, when you come back, you nonchalantly tell him a few sweet words to cajole him into marrying you. Two years in Hollywood and you already have a posthumous Oscar and worldwide fame? Micaela, you really have some skills and abilities.”

Micaela listened quietly, no displeasure showing on her face, even with a slight polite smile, calm and collected.

Matthew warned, “Your usual tricks are fine, but if you try to turn Nico green, I’ll watch you die.”

Micaela smiled wryly, her eyes met Matthew’s sharp, unkind gaze in the gloom, and she said softly, “I hadn’t realized that Mr. Matthew liked our Nico, but Mr. Matthew, you don’t stand a chance, from now on, Nico is mine. From now on, Nico belongs to Micaela. Mr. Matthew, you have to stop thinking about that”.

That damn woman! You’re just being a smart ass!

Matthew sneered, “You better be serious about marrying Nico!”.

Micaela thought that was a bit childish, “If I’m not sincere about marrying Nico, what can you do, Nico and I are ready to fight.”

“So now you admit that you married Nico for the money?”

Micaela laughed lightly, “Money doesn’t tarnish love, it only makes it purer, and what can be tarnished is not love. If Mr. Matthew comes across a relationship that can be tarnished by money, be careful, don’t be fooled, it’s mostly a trick the world uses to say it’s not love.”

“…” Fuck, this woman has the same mouth as Nico, what a couple.

With these words, Micaela walked towards the private room in a relaxed manner.

Matthew stood there, frowning, “You don’t love Nico at all, do you? What you’ve done for Nico, Nico can’t see it, but those of us on the outside see it for what it is… you’re a woman who doesn’t even think about him.”

Micaela paused in her pacing and laughed softly, feeling ridiculous, and returned with a slight sidelong glance, “So Mr. Matthew wants me to tell him at length what I’ve done for Nico? But you’re not Nico, so what’s the point of me telling you. The marrying Nico thing is my business, and I understand that you, as Nico’s friend and brother, care about him. But I don’t need to fill you in on everything between Nico and me, nor do I have to care what you think of me, it doesn’t matter what you think of me, I’m going to marry Nico and spend my life with him.”

“Even if you don’t think I’m going to spend my life with Nico, that’s fine, I don’t need to tell anyone I’m going to spend my life with Nico anyway, I don’t even need to promise Nico, because love is never something you promise with your mouth, it’s something you feel. But next time I won’t answer Mr. Matthew’s boring and irrelevant questions.”

“…”

Matthew stood still, frozen.

This woman is a very eloquent speaker.

The door to the booth happened to open and Nico stepped out with a scarf in his hand, the man frowned slightly as he saw Micaela walking towards him, “What took you so long?”

Micaela faced him, she took the wool scarf in her hand and helped him hang it around his neck. “It took me a little longer because I went to the bathroom on the way.”

“It’s late, let’s go home.”

Nico had taken Micaela’s hand and was heading outside.

Micaela raised her eyes to the man’s handsome, superior face and curved her lips; she didn’t need to show anyone that she loved him.

Because sooner or later, everyone would know that she had grown old with this man for the rest of her life.

Sooner or later.

No need for anyone to comment on it.

…

One morning, Micaela had a live online interview at work.

After half an hour of live streaming at 9 a. m., the live stream was full.

Nico woke up hungry in the morning and sleepily came downstairs in his pajamas, and without seeing what Micaela was doing, he grabbed her from behind while she was on air.

“…”

The man’s chin rested on Micaela’s shoulder, his lips brushed the nape of her neck, his voice low and misty as he asked, “Why are you up so early, have you had breakfast?”

Micaela twisted her head to look at the man whose eyes were half open and half closed and still awake, slightly embarrassed, “Nico, I’m live…”This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

Nico froze and opened his eyes to see, “…”

The comments below the live feed erupted into a frenzy.

“Ahhhhhhhhhh! The old auntie is going to be crispy!”

“Official announcement Official announcement Official announcement Official announcement!!!”

“Screenshot taken! With pictures!”

“Surprise! Micaela’s secret boyfriend!”

“The man is handsome and the woman is beautiful and so kosher!!!”

“They’re really back together!!!”

“So it’s true what the gossip issue said about Mr. Nico being infatuated with Micaela, I thought it was a little article made up by the gossip issue, but I didn’t think it was true …. scandalized …”

“There’s no one else with those loving eyes!”

“Good luck with 99!”
