SECOND CHANCE WITH MY REBORN WIFE

Chapter 14

Ceelin

"What happened to you? Why are you soaked in water?" Paula was running out of my room when Phil met her at the door. Paula immediately hugged her brother and cried.

"Look at what she did to me, brother. That b***h tried to kill me. She even said she was your wife," Paula complained with a pitiful look.

Whatever his mother and sister told him, he believed them, even though it was obvious they were just making things up to make him mad at me. So I expected him now to believe Paula. If he wanted to divorce me, I would agree. But what I expected didn't happen. Instead of scolding me, Phil approached me and spoke to me with concern.

"Are you hurt? Are you okay? Did my sister hurt you?" He turned me around in front of him and searched for any injuries on my body that his sister had caused.

"Are you blind, brother? I was the one who got hurt and not her. Why are you worrying about her?" Paula said to her sister with a frown.

"I'm fine. I'm sorry. I couldn't help myself because of the hurtful words she said to me." I pretended to cry and regret what I had done.

"It's not your fault. If my sister did something wrong with you it was just right for you to punish her," Phil replied. He hugged me for a moment.

"What? I can't believe you're siding with that b***h over your sister, brother! I'm the one who got hurt but she's the one you're worrying about. I will tell this to Mom." Paula's face crumpled even more. I couldn't help but secretly smile. I wanted to ask Paula how it felt when her brother didn't believe her words.

"Shut up, Paula! Ceelin is now your sister-in-law. You should show some respect when you're talking to her," Phil sternly reprimanded his younger sibling.

"I can't accept her as my sister-in-law, brother. Even Mommy, I'm sure, won't accept that gold digger as a member of our family!"

Paula's face suddenly twisted when Phil's heavy palm landed on her face.

"If I ever hear you speak badly of Ceelin again, you won't like what I'm going to do," Phil threatened.

Paula cried as she held her cheek. "I can't believe you hurt me for that woman, brother."

"You've been spoiled since young. You should know how to respect other people," Phil said in an authoritative tone.

Paula shook her head firmly. "I will never accept her as my sister-in-law. Jessa is the only sister-in-law that Mommy and I have accepted. What if she returns to the country and finds out that you are already married? She will definitely be hurt," Paula said with a sharp look before finally leaving my room.

After Paula left, Phil immediately led me to sit on the edge of my bed. I was quiet and didn't say anything. Jessa was Phil's childhood sweetheart. Many of their acquaintances knew that they would get married someday. I'm sure many would be surprised when they discovered that Phil married another woman and not her.

"Are you sure you're not hurt?" It seemed that he still didn't believe that his sister hadn't hurt me.

I smiled slightly at him to assure him that what I said was true. "I'm not hurt. What you should be worried about is your Mom's anger. I'm sure she'll be angry with you when she finds out that you sided with me and not your sister."

"Don't mind them. They can't do anything to me. By the way, next week is my Dad's birthday. I want you to go with me to the party. I want you to meet them personally."

I suddenly felt worried. From what happened earlier, I'm sure the two of them were very mad at me. Maybe they would embarrass me at the party.

"I think it's not a good idea to bring me along with you. Your mother and sister won't like my presence," I refused him.

"Don't worry about them. Whatever they say, they can't do anything because we're already married. And one more thing, Daddy wants you to attend his birthday party. So don't refuse his invitation."

I just nodded and didn't argue with him anymore. But right now, I should prepare myself for whatever his mother and sister plan to do with me.

"WOW! That dress is beautiful, Ceelin. It suits you perfectly. That's what you'll wear to your father-in-law's birthday party." Yves smiled and pointed to the red dress the mannequin was wearing. Its color was shiny and was accented with sparkling small diamonds. The style of the dress was beautiful. It was long and reached the mannequin's feet, which were only as tall as mine. It was a round neck sleeveless with a high cut in the chest. Both sides of the waist were also cut, exposing the sexy curve of the woman who will wear it. Whoever wore that dress would definitely get the spotlight.

"Oh my gosh! It's very pricey, Yves. Let's just buy from another store," I suggested when I saw the price tag. It cost five million pesos. I couldn't believe that there were clothes that were so expensive. Well, the brand of the store we went to was the most famous and expensive international brand of clothing line. Even if Phil gave me a black card with a few million in it, I still didn't want to buy that dress. Phil might think I was just wasting his money.

"Buy it, Ceelin. That dress is beautiful and suits you. I'm sure Phil will fall in love with you even more," Yves teased me with a smile. "Phil gave you a black card with unlimited access, right? So you can buy that dress."

The dress is beautiful and I like it too. But what I'm worried about is its very expensive price.

"That dress suited for your friend, Ma'am. It's the only one in the world and made by a famous international designer," the saleslady boasted.

"Wait. I will inform my husband if I can buy that dress." I texted Phil and asked him if I could buy a dress that cost five million. Phil immediately replied and said that no matter how much I spend, it's okay as long as I'm happy. "Okay. I'll buy that dress," I said to the saleslady with a smile.

The saleslady was about to remove the dress from the mannequin when the phone on the counter suddenly rang. The saleslady excused herself to answer the call.

While we were waiting for the saleslady to return, Paula suddenly approached us. Together with her is a beautiful woman. It was Jessa. Phil's childhood sweetheart and fiancée. She had already returned to the country. I wonder if she and Phil have met. Will his treatment of me change now that the woman he loves is back? Is he going to divorce me so he could marry Jessa?
