My Hostess Wife Chapter 22

Stacey's POV

My eyes couldn't help themselves from crying. After knowing my mother's condition, I don't know if I would ever think about my desire, specifically: love.

I have too many problems already, but I think God is not yet done with giving another, maybe He will. If I got to the bottom, where I lost everything, my problems that had stacked might not be added anymore.

My eyes kept on crying while running away from the hospital.

After hearing the news, I didn't let the doctor finish everything she would like to say. 'Cause I ran like a runner in the marathon.

When I bumped into some random man...

"Hey! Watch it!" he said.

That's it. I can't run anymore.

I kept on crying until I lost my energy and sat down unintentionally.

"Are you okay? Did I hurt you that bad?" he asked. I shook my head.

"No, anyway, I'm sorry for bumping you. I'll be careful next time," I said and I forced myself to stand up.

"S-Stacey?"

Did he know me?

"HARRY?! Is that you?" I asked and didn't even let him answer, I hugged him.

We only have a little conversation together after Yul kicks him out of the company. But still, I missed this guy.

"Why are you crying? Is it Yul?" he asked.

I released from the hug and wiped my tears while looking at him.

He's wearing a lab gown, and still the same haircut, he's kind of messy right now, and he wore glasses this time.

"It's not him. I just can't handle too many problems anymore," I said, holding back my tears.

I became so rude to him before he got kicked out of the company. So I felt embarrassed in front of him.

"You can tell me what it is, so as for your problems. I'm all ears," he said.

"No..." I said and wiped the flowing tears on my cheek.

"You don't have to worry. I'm sorry to leave you now without a proper conversation. It's just about the timing. I will get back to you next time. I promise," I said.

He's insisting on leading the way 'cause it's kinda dark where I'm heading but I rejected him and go alone on my way.

I just want to be alone.

Insolent hubby calling...

He's calling, but I don't need him.

Since the day I met this guy, my life is full of surprises. Every time I woke up, he gave me another day of torture, to waste.

I know, I like him. Nothing will change that. But if I continue to be with him, what if problems will come again? Like he was a piece of bad luck in my life?

"Wait, is this the woods? I'm headed to the woods. AND HARRY DIDN'T TELL ME WAY BEFORE I GOT IN HERE?!"

Gosh, it's so dark, and animals are hissing. F*CK IT!

ANOTHER PROBLEM?

SO MAYBE I'M THE BAD LUCK!

Yul's POV

"STACEY!"

"Hey bro, you're dreaming," Flint said.

That dream is bothering my sleeping body.

Calling Stacey...

"F*ck answer it!" I mumbled to myself.

"Dude, relax!" Flint said.

I'm still not going home. I don't know, I just don't want to see my mother. Neither be alone at my condo. So I just stayed here at Flint's house.

"It gives me chills, bro. I want to assure myself she's okay," I replied.

"She's okay bro," he insisted. I rolled my eyes as I continued calling her. No response at all!

Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Oh please, I hope it's her...

But I was disappointed to see him.

"Harry?" I uttered.

"Harry?! BRO! IT'S BEEN SO LONG!" Flint said. Is he my friend?

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

He just looked at me, trying to find words to say.

"Come on, dude. Don't tell me you're still mad?" Harry said.

I can't believe my ears!

"Are you that insensitive? You're coming all the way here for such a reunion without even saying sorry?! AND YOU EXPECT ME TO FORGIVE YOU?!" I shouted at him.

"Hey! Not at my house?" Flint butt in, I calmed myself. I don't want to bring mess to his house either so I stayed quiet.

"Bro, in the first place, I don't have any mistakes owed to you," he said.

I frowned.

"Still making yourself innocent, huh? Still old Harry," I said and stormed away!

I continued calling Stacey.

She should be here, it's getting late. I wonder where she's gone. I'm getting worried as f*ck!

I was about to go and find her using my car. But Harry stopped me.

"Dude, where are you going? We're hanging out!" he said.

"I'm not your 'dude'," I said.

"If you say so. However, in case you're finding for Stacey, I saw her. Heading to the woods a while ago. It's not yet sunset at that time so I let her go," he said and I quickly went to him and grab his collar!

"ARE YOU MAD?! YOU'RE JUST TELLING ME THIS NOW THAT IS LATE AT NIGHT?!" I shouted.

He pushed me aside.

"You should learn some manners, bro. I'm still your friend and I didn't do anything!" he said.

"That's not the point! What if something happens to Stacey? I will make sure to rip you to pieces!" I said and hop into my car at the fastest speed possible.

I kept on calling her, and I received no response at all! Come on!

Stacey, at least text me where you are. I'm worried sick!

Ugh!

"H-hello?"

"OH GOD, FINALLY YOU ANSWERED!"

"Hello? Is this the owner of this phone? Someone dropped it. Maybe we could meet so I will give it back to you?"

It does sound like Stacey, but it was late when I realized it wasn't. Geez.

"Just send me your address and I'll go to your place," I said.

"Uhm, maybe you will give me a reward for giving it back to you, right?"

Oh god! Stupid little rat. There are a lot of people here in the world who are exploiting vulnerability. Just because they got the chance to ask for money, they will surely do.
