Posted on December 13, 2023December 13, 2023 by admin

Filed To Story: A Sacrificial Lambs Unexpected Marriage

Before the old lady Samantha could utter another word, Deacon interrupted,

“Yup, I did see the girl. I even brought her home.”

“What do you mean?” The old lady questioned confusingly.

Oriana shyly stepped forward she held the old lady’s hand.

“Grandma, there must be some misunderstanding about this. The principal and I, I mean Deacon’s aunt and I, we kinda know each other prior to now.”

The old lady looked at Oriana stunningly.

“Oriana, the talented girl which Bounty bragged about, is it you?”

Oriana blinked and nodded.

“Well, it seems.”

“But everyone is of the opinion that you only graduated from high school…”

“Grandma, I really don’t know how that school of thought came about. But I was recommended to Canada’s first-class medical university to study at age thirteen. I became a postdoctoral student at the age of fifteen. I didn’t have much left to learn, so I returned home. When I arrived, aunt offered me an admission to study at Holy Nile. I thought that it was too far away from home, so I had rejected the offer. This time, aunt Bounty invited me to the dinner party…”

To Oriana, the issues was a very simple one. She really didn’t understand why everyone was reacting so massively.

The old lady was stunned for a moment, but she quickly came in terms with the situation. The issue was a delicate one, but after giving it a proper thought, she decided to tackle the issue sanely.

The old lady patted Oriana’s hands lovingly.

“Olly, you really surprised grandma. Is there anything else that you’re hiding from grandma?”

Oriana quickly said coquettishly,

“Grandma, I’m really unfamiliar with principal Bounty, I didn’t accept her admission offer, so I really don’t know much about her. Yes, there are other things, but i just don’t think that there are necessary to be spoken about.”

The old lady knew that there must be some other things about her. Mrs. Samantha quickly saw Joyce’s face in Oriana’s. The old lady clenched Oriana’s hand tightly in admiration.

“A fifteen years old postdoctoral student? No wonder my Bounty likes you.”

The old lady turned to look at Deacon, she said angrily,

“Deacon, you’re really lucky that Oriana is a good girl. You must treat Oriana with much more care.”

Oriana raised her eyes and looked at Deacon. He was unbuttoning the silver button on his shirt sleeve. Their eyes met, but Deacon quickly looked away.

“Grandma, I’ll go to the study and work on some documents.” Deacon excused himself and went upstairs.

Seeing his body disappear from sight, Oriana muttered sullenly,

“Grandma, I’ll go upstairs too.”

“Okay my dear. Go ahead and have a shower, once you’re done, come down and have dinner, okay?” The old lady replied with a warm smile.

Deacon sat on the chair, as he smoked a cigarette which was between his fingers. The documents were scattered on the desk.

After smoking to his satisfaction, Deacon stood up and went out of the room.

Deacon stood silently outside the door for a while. He went back in and grabbed his coat, as he exited the room.

The old lady who was in the living room quickly stopped and looked him.

“Deacon, where are you going this late?”

Deacon lowered his handsome eyelids. His magnetic voice didn’t reveal any emotion.

“There’s something urgent that I have to deal with at the company. Grandma, I won’t be back tonight.”

“You’re not coming back tonight? Have you informed Oriana about it?”

Deacon pursed his lips and said nothing.

“Did Marvin have a crush on Oriana?” The old lady inquired.

“Not sure, but I think so.”

“Marvin is an arr ogant young man. If he comes after Oriana, that means that he really likes her. Well I can’t blame him, Oriana is a very beautiful girl.”

Deacon touched his pocket to confirm his car keys. He didn’t want to continue with the discussion, so he said,

“Grandma, I’m going to be company.”

“Deacon.” The old lady called out. “Oriana is a good girl. Don’t leave her alone like this. Love and marriage both requires the efforts of both parties. Oriana has never despised your illness. On the contrary, she has been working hard to make you happy. She wants you to become a better individual. If you lose Oriana, I’m certain that you’ll never meet a girl like her again.” The old lady adviced extensively.

Deacon stood by the door. He didn’t look back. He just stood there for a long time.

Deacon finally left. The old lady sat on the sofa in the living room. Mr. Henry, the butler whispered,

“Madam, the current situation is not good. If the Armstead family realizes that Oriana was Marvin’s fiance, I feel that a lot of people will join to take Oriana away from Deacon.”

The old lady hugged Phoebe and trimmed the soft fur on her body. She snorted,

“Don’t worry, I can’t mess up. I know what to do.”

Mrs. Samantha hugged Phoebe and said to herself,

“Marriage is for two people, as long as they don’t let go of one another, no one else can break them up. If they let go of one another, no one can save them.”

Mr. Henry tried to comprehend the words of the old lady, but the door of the Deacon’s room cracked open, as Oriana descended the stairs.

When Phoebe sighted her master, she quickly jumped out of the old lady’s embrace and ran to Oriana’s feet.

Oriana squatted and hugged Phoebe. She smiled and said,

“Phoebe, did you miss me?”

The old lady smiled.

“Oriana, are you hungry? Let’s have dinner.”

The ide:

Oriana had just taken a shower. Her long pure black hair was dipped in a damp mist from her shoulders. She wasn’t wearing a mask.

“Grandma.” Oriana called out to the old lady. She looked up at the study room with clear eyes. “Could you please wait a little longer? Mr. Armstead hasn’t come down yet.”

“Deacon just left. The company has some urgent issues that he needs to handle. He won’t be back tonight.” The lady informed Oriana.

Oriana’s eyelashes shivered. She didn’t know that he stepped out. Oriana hugged Phoebe and lowered her head. She felt sad.

What was he so angry about? Or was he still suspicious of her and Marvin?

Nothing happened between her and Marvin.

The old lady walked over and patted Oriana on the shoulder.

“Oriana, it’s easier to get along with each other in love. And marriage requires adjustment. Deacon is a very lonely person. Do you know what he needs the most?” The old asked as she stared at Oriana’s face.

“Tonight, you looked so bright and ravishing, making him feel insecure. He really wanted to hold you firmly in his hands, but he’s afraid, afraid that he’ll hurt you.”

Oriana carried Phoebe back to the bedroom. Phoebe was then nestled in her own nest and had quickly fallen asleep.

Oriana was lying on the bed, thinking about what Mrs. Samantha had just said. She was tossing and turning, as she was unable to sleep.

Turning to the side, she reached out and slowly stroke the pillow which Deacon often used.

“What was he doing now?” She pondered.

Oriana stretched and grabbed her phone from the bed and sent him a precised message. “Are you really not coming home tonight?” The message read.

Her phone beeped as a message came in quickly. One would think that he was expecting her message.

“I’ll be sleeping at the company.”

Oriana counted his reply, there were only five words. Oriana hastily sent him another message.

“I wanna chat with you.”

Without hesitation, his message popped in again.

“I’m heading for a meeting. Go to bed early. Goodnight.”

Deacon unilaterally announced that the chat was over. Oriana angrily threw her phone on the bed table, then she hugged his pillow in her arms.
