Chapter 6

The most comfortable place for her to be in solitude and silence.

Shelina emerged from her room.

Andrew asked her a few days ago to move into the man's house right away.

Shelina was initially opposed to the idea, but he cleverly provided reasons she couldn't deny.

Andrew also promised that we wouldn't share a room until the wedding.

Even though she didn't mind sleeping in the same room, Shelina breathed a sigh of relief.

He was, however, a gentleman who treated women with kindness and respect.

That's what Shelina likes about him, and she's never met a man like that before.

Because other men will always pull Shelina onto the bed and ask her to have sexual relations with them.

Shelina's steps came to a halt when she remembered that figure.

Marcus.

Shelina will live in Andrew's mansion, which means she will always come into contact with him.

What should Shelina do if she happens to meet Marcus?

Yesterday's dinner confirmed her disapproval of her relationship with Andrew.

Shelina inhaled deeply and slowly exhaled.

This must be extremely difficult.

But she must remain strong for Andrew, who has always supported and accompanied her.

Shelina walked with purpose to the Herbert family's mansion.

°°°••°°°

Shelina is now standing in front of the mansion's grand entrance.

Hans, the driver, was still unloading her suitcase.

Shelina's heart was racing wildly.

Sweat began to form on her temples.

Panic and worry pursue her.

Is Shelina prepared for this?

With the status of his future stepmother, she is reunited with her first love.

Is it better for Shelina to simply return and discourage her from staying?

Shelina's heart was troubled; she desperately wanted to marry Andrew, but meeting and living with Marcus had never occurred to her.

Given Marcus' hostile attitude toward her the day before, Shelina should have stayed in the apartment.

When the door in front of her suddenly opened, Shelina's feet took a step back and turned.

"Shelina."

Shelina's name was called by a familiar voice.

Shelina changed her mind and returned to face him.

Andrew stood in front of him.

He was dressed casually in jeans and a clingy black t-shirt.

He didn't look like a forty-five-year-old man, but rather like a thirty-year-old man.

He had an athletic body that he always kept in shape.

His biceps also appear to be very clear and tight.

Any woman's fingers would itch to touch it.

Shelina gave him an awkward smile, fearful that he would notice her unwanted behavior.

"Please come in."

Andrew flung open the door, allowing Shelina to enter.

Shelina had no choice but to cancel everything.

Shelina entered slowly, following Andrew's steps with occasional glances to the right and left.

This is a large house.

With lavish decoration and beautiful paintings on every wall corner.

Shelina's attention was drawn to a large photograph.

Photograph of Herbert's family.

Andrew, dressed in black Texudo, is seated next to a stunning woman in a long white gown.

Marcus was standing behind them both.

"Was she your late wife, Hanna Elizabeth?"

Shelina has never seen a photograph of Hanna, Andrew's wife and Marcus' mother.

She is stunning, with a big smile and happiness radiating from her.

The woman Andrew and Marcus loved.

"She is, indeed, my wife."

Andrew, who was standing next to Shelina and looking at the large photograph, responded.

His eyes had a faint twinkle of longing in them. But it vanished in an instant.

"She's a stunning lady."

Sincerely compliment Shelina.

"You must be uneasy about that family photo."

Just to see Shelina's expression, Andrew said.

But the woman's face was devoid of dislike or hatred.

She just smiled, mesmerized by Hanna's beauty.

But Andrew must also understand that if he wants to marry and live with Shelina, he must move this photo frame.

"I apologize for not being able to take things down at this time. But I will make a promise when we are legally married. I'll replace that family photo with a new one. With you as my spouse."

As Andrew held Shelina's hand, his eyes were filled with tenderness.

The woman was rendered speechless.

What exactly did he say?

How could Shelina be bothered?

Shelina appears to be an evil woman attempting to take over Hanna's position in this large house.

"No, you are not required to do so. I understand how much you adore Hanna. I don't mind if that photo remains, even after we've married."

Shelina responded as they tightened their grip. Shelina understands how important Hanna is to Andrew.

"Are you certain?"

Andrew's brow furrowed.

"You have doubts about my words."

Shelina pursed her lips, not liking Andrew's words.

"This is something I admire about you, Shelina. You truly comprehend my situation. But when we get married, I'll replace it with a photo of us."

When Andrew drew Shelina into his arms, she smiled broadly.

"Can you put a stop to this revolting show? You're not married and father; have you forgotten about the crucial meeting with President Fernandez?"

Shelina's back was pierced by a cold voice and a sharp gaze.

Shelina and Andrew quickly let go of each other.

Marcus stood with his arms crossed across his chest, leaning against a cupboard not far from them.

Extremely haughty and arrogant.

"Oh, I almost forgot. I have to return to the office. There is an important meeting taking place. You can tidy up your belongings and relax. Please take Shelina to her room, Marcus."

Marcus' words prompted Andrew to quickly take his briefcase on the table, as he needed to get to the office.

The meeting this morning is critical to the two companies' collaboration.

"No," Marcus yelled, defying Andrew's command.

"Could you please be nice to Shelina, your future stepmother?"

Andrew was persuaded with a slow sigh.

Trying to keep his cool in the face of his son's annoying behavior

"No, dad, I've been telling you since last night. I'm completely opposed to your relationship, and I don't want this bicth living in this mansion."
