Chapter 3 (part 1)
At Chris's house in the city he was sitting in the living room talking with his
mother.
Chris:at first I haven't recognized her but I couldn't take my eyes off of her from the first time I saw her of course we have to...
Anna:what are you saying Chris you can't ask Sadie to marry you
Chris:why not Sadie s not engaged
Anna:but you are
Chris:(shocked) me with whom?
Anna:with Jude her sister
Chris:oh, just stop it with this story, who do you think is going to take seriously this craziness
Anna:it's not craziness but a real engagement Jude is waiting for you years now so you can marry her. I don't know how you could think of someone else when you knew you ...
Chris:I didn't knew nothing mother
Anna:but you knew it since you were a little boy that one day you and Jude will marry
Chris:to a little boy you can say many thing and stories. That the fairies are for real and other stuff like this but not an adult. Why hadn't you talked to me more about this engagement?
Anna:I thought it wasn't necessary, I my letter I always wrote you about Jude and 7 years ago when you came for the holiday you were always together I thought it was clear
Chris:and of course you were wrong, and if I spoke to Jude is because she's my cousin and invited to our house and I did as a gentleman. I don't want to offend you mother but you made a mistake to plan something for me without my permission
Anna:many marriages were planned like this
Chris:not mine, I'm sorry but I'm not going for this marriage. I want to marry Sadie...Sadie knows about this planned marriage with her sister?
Anna:yes, everyone knows our relatives, friends, everyone no Chris you get do this. For Jude this is going to be terrible, she already sees herself as your fiancé and she loves you. She's beautiful she knows how to cook, knit, she speaks three languages and things that good wives need to know.
Back at the beach at Darius office Victoria went to talk to Darius as he was her
lawyer.
Darius:hi Mrs Harrison you could have stayed home and called me I would have come
Victoria:don't worry I needed to go to the mall as well
Darius:how are you?
Victoria:fine thank you. Did you know that Chris Dutois had came back from Europe
Darius:yes, of course
Victoria:so how you already know when Chris is back we will have the date of their wedding and we have many preparations to do
Darius:and Jude what does she think?
Victoria:she's happy and excited
Darius:if Chris is the same boy I knew respectful and generous your daughter will be very lucky
Victoria:I think that she will be...exactly of this I wanted to talk to you about
Darius:of course I'm at your order
Victoria:even if my cousin Anna is going to give her the dress for the marriage I wanted to give her something to and I would like to use the money my husband left for us
Darius:how you wish, today I will sent a telegram to the back for the account
Victoria:thank you so like this Jude will have a present from me too
Darius:let me tell you Mrs Harrison that your name and Jude is much better than money...how is Sadie
Victoria:she's fine we're waiting for her she's coming back...I was wishing she could have found a husband there but these days everyone look for money and not the person
Darius:yes, it true no one see a person buy her character any how she is I the inside but she can always find a good guy here too
Victoria:I wish your words will be listened
At the beach in the Harrison's house Jude was talking to her friend about Sadie.
Friend:she haven't found a husband there?
Jude:no
Friend:so she's going to come here forever
Jude:of course this is her house
Friend:beautiful how she is your sister will take all men eyes on her and we will have none
Jude:please she I beautiful but she' a decent lady
Friend:perhaps I exaggerated a little but she's not that decent, you remember last year when she was here she always dressed in a seductive way and you could see more skin than clothes and she always treated you like you didn't know how to dress only because you dress decently
Jude:I know but my sister is like this it's part of her character but inside she's a good person and if you want to know the truth I'm sorry for her my mother had wished so much that she could find a good husband like me
Friend:Jude you know I'm a little bit jealous of you
Jude:(laughs) (Jude's thoughts I wish that I will be lucky as everyone is saying because I don't know I feel like if something is going to happen maybe because it's a long that I saw him last or it's because I don't love him or I do? I don't know how can I know if I never heard from him never saw him for years...I need to see him see if there will be that spark that it should be or maybe I'm too romantic)
