The Alpha's Triple Lunas novel Chapter 10

Chapter Eleven – Can’t marry a classmate

Her face looked like someone had splashed it with mud because before her was Mrs. Lara and her teenage son with a bouquet of flower.

“Did you mistake here for an asylum? What are you doing here?” Margaret asked disgusted.

“That’s no way to speak to an in-law or an elder” her uncle spears behind the visitors.

“Wow. Margaret is getting married to that kid?” Lydia looked both amused and repelled.

Sylvester invited Evelyn and Margaret to the dining room to talk on “important matters”.

Margaret had given an evil smirk and followed them. Evelyn didn’t bother. She knew her sister would reject the boy. For his own sake.

She collapsed on her bed and let the amazing scenery of Scott’s home fill her mind. She low-key wished she could go back.

She was slowing drifting to sleep when Margaret barged into the room, laughing her head out. Evelyn glared at her with half closed eyes.

“You won’t believe. That kid is actually getting married to Lydia, not me. And Uncle is kinda serious” she said amidst laughs.

That was funny, Lydia was a year old than the boy. And they both weren’t ready for marriage.

His name was Reuben and he only wasn’t the first son the second son of the hated Mrs. Lara but also Lydia's rich and bossy classmate.

He had skipped a class due to his influential parent at the village town school. Everyone hated him, Lydia was no exception.

He coming with his two legs to get married to her… Lydia glared at him from across the table. It was clear he didn’t know what he was getting himself into.

“And because you want me to get married, you think I will?” Lydia questioned with an amused tone.

“You will” Sylvester sounded stern, “Why did you return under my roof if you didn’t plan to listen to my instructions?”

Lydia got up, “Reuben, if you want to live long to keep on flirting with the girls at school then get out now” she clenched her fists.

“On the contrary, my flirting days are over. I had become a man. I want to get married” Reuben responded with a husky voice Lydia didn’t know he had.

Margaret was watching from a corner and was taken aback by his voice. Had he grown manly within two days? It wasn’t a sixteen years old voice much.

“Let's put the past behind us and be family. It will help clean your sisters reputation as bad wives and make them marriageable again” Madam Lara added.

Like always, a hint of mockery was in her tone.

Lydia was in denial. How could the whole village be so dumb? Marriage wasn’t the only thing female species could do.

It shouldn’t be the endpoint of their lives or what made them important. And if a lady doesn’t want to get married, what happens?

“I don’t know what game you’re playing but you better get out now” someone hollered behind Lydia.

Margaret smiled on seeing Timothy and she came out from where she was peeking from.

“Reuben had always been disrespectful to Timothy. They hate each other so they can’t be in-laws…” Margaret's words got stuck in her mouth.
