Wedding Agreement With CEO

An hour ago, a maid named Joana arrived at Lucas' residence with several bags of groceries. The thirty-year-old woman seemed to have bought some household supplies, especially kitchen utensils.

It turned out that Lucas had deliberately asked Joana to go to the market first, before being asked to come to his house.

Seeing so many groceries that Joana brought, Ellena was immediately enthusiastic to check the available raw food ingredients. Without waiting for orders, she immediately intended to process some of the raw materials for the breakfast menu.

Now, Ellena is busy in the kitchen, cooking some menus. Joana repeatedly wanted to take over the cooking task, but Ellena persisted. What's more, Lucas was sick and needed immediate food.

Even though she is currently only a contract wife, it is still her duty to take care of her husband. So, it was only natural for her to pay attention to Lucas' health condition. After all, Lucas had helped her family. She felt this was the right time to return the favor.

Meanwhile, Joana is doing other work. In fact, Ellena didn't even ask her to help with the cooking. Apparently, Ellena was already good at it.

Ellena had spent an hour on her new activity. She immediately served a bowl of chicken soup and a plate of rice on a tray. Don't forget a glass of water too. She then carried the tray into the living room, where Lucas was.

"Mr, does your head still hurt?" Ellena's low voice managed to make Lucas squint, although it looked a little heavy because the pain in her head had not subsided.

Lucas snorted in annoyance, before he finally responded to Ellena.

"How many times do I have to say, don't call me that!" Lucas' voice sounded a little hoarse. He then put his arm over his forehead and closed his eyes again.

To be honest, Ellena still felt awkward if she had to call Lucas by name. After all, Lucas had been her boss. Of course it was not easy for her to adapt to Lucas' new status in her life now.

Lucas opened his eyes again, staring up at the ceiling. While his arm is still resting on the forehead.

"In front of other people I'm still your husband, even though you never think of it. They'll still wonder if they hear you call me that." Lucas' words were flat and calm. He seemed to be advising his wife earnestly.

Lucas himself was confused as to why he didn't like hearing Ellena call him that. They were strangers, but Lucas didn't seem to want them to look strangers in front of other people. He shouldn't care about that. Wasn't Ellena just a contract wife to him? However, in this case, he seemed to treat Ellena like a real wife.

"Sorry," Ellena said quietly, then she took the plate of rice from the tray, which she had previously placed on the table.

"You'd better have breakfast first." Ellena handed Lucas the plate of rice. However, Lucas only looked away for a moment, before he finally looked back at the ceiling of his house.

"Could you please get my cellphone in the room?" Lucas glanced at Ellena.

"Well." Ellena put the plate back in its place, then she got up from her seat.

Ellena walked towards Lucas' room which was only about three meters from the room. After a while, she came back with Lucas' cell phone. She gave the phone to Lucas.

Lucas raised his hand that rested on his forehead, then immediately grabbed the phone. Not a smile or even a thank you came out of his mouth. He rubbed the screen of his phone, just to check there might be an important call or message that he hadn't had time to open.

"You should have breakfast first, so your pain will get better soon." Ellena's voice caught Lucas' attention.

However, Lucas was so annoying, it still made Ellena feel uncomfortable seeing his sick condition.

"Just keep it on the table, I'll eat it later!" Lucas asked.

"No! You must eat now!" Elena insisted.

"You can eat while playing with your cellphone," said Ellena while thrusting a spoonful of rice into Lucas' mouth.

It managed to make Lucas stunned for a moment. He had even stopped checking the cell phone that was still in his hand. Apart from being surprised, he also felt doubtful. Should he accept a mouthful of rice from Ellena's hand? He really couldn't believe what he was witnessing.

'Why does she care so much about me? Isn't this marriage just a charade? But, why does she treat me like her own husband. Is she really like that? Always care about other people? Even if that person has done something bad to her? Well, evil. I'm really bad for getting her into my troubles.' Lucas thought at the time.

They are legally and religiously married. However, whatever they lived after, it was just a charade.

'Ah, what was I thinking?' Lucas muttered then, trying to get all the thoughts out of his head.

"Let's eat!" Lucas jumped for a moment when Ellena snapped him out of his thoughts.

Lucas reflexively opened his mouth when he realized the spoon was very close to his lips. However, his gaze focused on Ellena's face. In fact, he was so focused that he forgot to really enjoy the food that had entered his mouth. Either delicious or not. It really didn't really matter to him.

Lucas caught a glimpse of Selena's reflection on Ellena's face. He stared intently at that face, then smiled happily because the woman he loved so much was now in front of his eyes.

All the portraits of happiness with Selena again bothered him. How he really missed the figure of the old Selena, who always cared and loved him with all his heart.

After a while, Lucas' smile suddenly shrunk back, as he realized the harsh reality he was facing. The truth about Selena who is no longer his girlfriend. He was furious when he realized that it was Ellena who was now accompanying him, and even becoming his wife.

He wanted to protest against God. Why isn't Selena the one with him? Why doesn't Selena have a much better character than what he knows so far? In fact, everything is the opposite. Selena is evil, traitorous and has no feelings. How could he still love a woman who had clearly hurt his heart?

Lucas continued to curse his fate. Not just this time. However, he had been thinking about the same thing for a long time. In fact, last night he couldn't sleep well, because he was thinking the same thing. Until in the end, he suddenly had a headache like that. Maybe because the problem was too heavy for him, so he became a little stressed.

Henceforth, Ellena fed Lucas back. And that she did repeatedly gradually. Silence. There is no conversation between them. Ellena was too busy with her activities.. Meanwhile, Lucas was too busy with his thoughts.
