Charlotte Lewis refuses when she is forced by her parents to marry a rich widower with two children from her neighboring village. But, apparently her parents didn't just give up. She was forced to marry other man. However, this time it was not with a widower, but with a young man who was still single. Unfortunately, the man's profession is "Shoe Sole Maker". So, what will happen after Charlotte accepts the match?
View MoreCharlotte was led to a room where for the first time in her life she received a brief salon treatment, and then she was taken to another room.There the dresses and accessories bought for her by her husband were already neatly arranged on the right. "Go ahead, Ma'am!" the female employee said, who was very young this time.However, during the time she was being dressed by her Charlotte was truly amazed. Besides being careful, the woman looked meticulous. About forty minutes later, just as Shane had predicted the treatment to be over, the employee said, "It's done, Ma'am."Charlotte, who had put on a soft pink long-sleeved dress, looked at herself in front of the large mirror. How surprised she was to see herself so much different.She even touched her long hair which was left loose but adorned with beautiful but not glamorous ornaments. The necklaces and bracelets she wore also made her look more charming but not overdone.The woman even smiled at her reflection.“You are so beautif
The driver turned around and replied after smiling, “That’s right, ma'am."Charlotte swallowed, for the first time somewhat surprised at being called "ma'am". She immediately turned to her husband who was staring at her with a furrowed brow. "Why, Charlotte?""I look old, don't I, Shane?" Charlotte asked in a whispered tone of voice.That made Shane even more surprised. He replied in an astonished tone, "So why did you say that?""Didn't you hear me, Shane? The driver called me 'ma'am'," Charlotte explained.The laughter was unavoidable. Shane even touched his wife's hair out of excitement. "How come you're laughing, Shane?" Charlotte said, again frowning.Shane shook his head and immediately touched his wife's hand and clasped it, "Thank you, Charlotte. Thank you.""Thank you for what?" It was now Charlotte who looked at her husband with her eyebrows raised in confusion.Shane gently rubbed the back of his wife's hand and said, "For accepting my proposal. I ... feel like a lucky m
"You will find out later. Now, you get ready first!" Shane said who again sounded mysterious to Charlotte's ears.Shane shook his head"Don't forget to double check, don't miss anything!" Shane added.Charlotte wanted to ask again, but she tried to restrain herself and immediately organized her and her husband's equipment.Shane himself was seen taking his cell phone and typing something on it. Charlotte did not ask and just rechecked their belongings.After making sure everything was ready, Charlotte said, "Shane, I’m ready."Shane nodded and smiled at his wife, "Come on, let's go straight to the terrace.""Did we take an online taxi from the front of the house, Shane?" Charlotte asked with a surprised look."Yes, so you don't have to walk much," Shane replied who, before Charlotte could ask again, had already been grabbed by her husband to walk out of the room.When they arrived at the front porch of the house, their two parents who were seen lounging in front stared at them in surp
Charlotte winced when she heard her husband's words, as if Shane could read what she was thinking. She hesitantly said, "If I'm honest, I'm actually a bit surprised. You work as a shoe repairman but ... you have so much money."Charlotte moistened her lips, getting nervous. Especially since Shane was now staring at her unblinkingly, she became even more nervous. But, she didn't want to offend her husband so she added, "I’m so sorry, Shane. It's not that I'm insulting your work. It's not like that at all. But, how come you can earn so much money from repairing shoes?""You don't have any other jobs?" Charlotte added in a tone that sounded very cautious.Shane responded with a warm smile, "My job is just like what you see, Charlotte.""You already know that I fix shoes. You've even seen me work in person, right?" Charlotte nodded, confirming her husband's words.That was not in doubt at all. Her husband even looked very skilled at what he did and the work was very good.In Shane's ha
"Charlotte," her husband called her in a fairly soft tone.Charlotte stammered, "Y-yes, Shane.""So, how is it? Which one do you like?" Charlotte asked while pointing at a beautiful necklace with a heart-shaped pendant.Not wanting to keep her husband waiting, Charlotte finally said, "You choose. I'll love anything."Hearing that, Rayan smiled. "Yes, you sit down first, I will choose it or you.""Yes, Shane."Next, Charlotte saw her husband choosing several kinds of jewelry which when the cashier mentioned the total price, Charlotte could only gape. But, to Charlotte's surprise, Shane used cash to pay. "Alright, now let's get some clothes for us and some other stuff," Shane said.Charlotte swallowed with difficulty but she still obediently followed Shane.She was curious about her husband's money which she thought was too much, but she would not confront Shane at the moment.They spent almost two hours buying the items. It seemed impossible for him to earn money through unlawful me
Charlotte again could only sigh softly. She also tried to restrain herself desperately and then put away all the wild questions that popped up in her head.She could not find the right words about her husband. What was clear was that he was too mysterious.Shane was strange from the start. He proposed to her without much preparation, married her suddenly and even on their wedding day, none of his family members came.For that matter, she really wanted to ask her husband. However, she was afraid that her curiosity would offend him.But, it's been almost a week and her husband didn't seem to want to reveal the things that she still didn't know.Besides, it was the issue of money that always made Charlotte wonder. Her husband was obviously a cobbler. She had seen it herself. She had witnessed him repairing his customers' shoes.However, he seemed to have so much money that Charlotte couldn't stop thinking about the amount of money he had. "Why are you looking at me like that?" Shane ask
"Where do you think?" Charlotte asked back.The employee who was one year younger than Charlotte stammered back, "Wh-what do you mean? Why are you asking me?"Faye was indeed surprised, but she tried to remain brave and then moved to defend her friend. "Report to the boss? How could the boss believe you?" Faye asked with a half-mocking smile.Charlotte nodded, as if she understood Faye's meaning, "The boss won't defend me, that's why I won't report to the boss.""Where then?" Faye said with her chin up."The police. There's a police station not too far from here," Charlotte said.Faye widened her eyes, while her other friend was already getting pale. "You're joking, right?""No, I'm not. You guys accusing me like that wasn't a joke either, right?" Charlotte replied who was now tired of constantly giving in.Suddenly everyone fell silent, beginning to fear that Charlotte would actually do what she said.Not wanting to deal with the police, one of them spoke up, "Never mind, guys. I be
Since Faye and her friends were just staring and not answering her, Charlotte impatiently said, "Come on, anyone can come with me to the bathroom to see if I'm really menstruating or just lying."Challenged like that, one of the employees finally responded, "How disgusting! Why would you go to such lengths?"“That’s right. I think this is just a trick by Charlotte. She knows that everyone will be disgusted, so she confidently says that. No one wants to follow her to the toilet," another friend said.Charlotte sighed, getting tired of responding to those people who did not like her.However, she still did not want to be accused of something she did not do. She was even pure until that moment and she would defend herself until she was found innocent. "Oh, there's another way," Faye said suddenly.Abby immediately asked, "What way, ma'am?"Faye grinned, "A pregnancy test."Charlotte snorted, while almost all of her friends looked happy about Faye's idea."That's good. You'll get caught
Charlotte suddenly looked into the eyes of her husband who seemed to be looking at her deeply. The first eyes that looked at her so warmly and sincerely.Gosh, even her former lover never looked at her like that. Jonathan, her ex who said he loved her so much, never really looked at her. A feeling of guilt immediately came over her. The woman ventured to say, "Shane, sorry. Actually, it's not like that."She was clearly uncomfortable with the situation and Shane could feel it too.Shane sighed softly again, "I should be the one apologizing to you."Charlotte looked confused at her husband.Shane smiled instead, "Yes, it was my fault. I pushed you too hard, urged you. You ... must have needed time.""But, Shane ....""It's okay, Charlotte. I will wait patiently for you to be ready," Shane replied as he smoothed his wife's slightly messy hair.As if she had just remembered something, Charlotte finally said, "Uh, Shane. I have an invitation.""What invitation?" Shane asked in a somewha
Manhattan, New York“You don't earn much and you're already 32. You'd better get married before you become a spinster.”The long, curly-haired woman named Barbara sighed in exasperation as she glanced at her daughter, Charlotte, who was about to leave for work.“I'm tired of people calling you a ‘spinster’. Besides, if you get married, your husband can help give me some extra money,” she continued lightlyCharlotte was silent, with no intention of replying to her mother. Instead, she wanted to leave, but then her father's voice reached her.“If you can't find a husband, I'll find one for you. You just have to accept it,” Charles said, enjoying his hot coffee without bothering to turn to his daughter when he spoke.The good girl with a thin body immediately froze where she stood, unable to move for a few seconds. What is this? Does this mean she's being forced into marriage? She was going to be set up as a match? Is that so?Charlotte wanted to turn around and immediately refute he
