Chapter 37

Sandra
I feel a lot of anger right now about that jerk Euniel. He probably takes me for an idiot for behaving towards me in an execrable way. I've been looking for him for more than a week already, but the good guy doesn't even manage me. He doesn't answer my messages or pick up my calls. He thinks he can play me and dump me like an old sock, just because that girl is back. He gets his fingers in the eye. I will never accept such a thing. Euniel is mine alone. I arrived at his house tonight just by chance. I had even lost hope of finding him at home. Luckily he was there. He looks at me as if I had come from another planet So I ask him in front of his silence.
"So you're still in this town?! I thought you left town!"
"Sandra! Good evening, I'm fine, thank you for asking me. And you, how are you? It's been a long time!"
He exclaims, smiling nervously. He must surely be looking for something to invent to put me to sleep. I'm so pissed at him, but I have to play the perfect girl so as not to escalate things. Because above all, I must not forget my main objective, which is to finish his wife. So he mustn't find excuses to avoid marriage. So I decide to take a deep breath, I exhale then I come back to calm. After regaining my composure, I answer him with a calm tone.
"I'm well, thanks, and you ?"
"I'm just as well."
"Why have you been so distant towards me lately? I've been looking for you, I don't remember how many times I had to do in your apartment, but you were never there. Let's not talk about it no more laps at your desk at the hospital. And what about my calls and texts that I was sending you all the time? Are you going to tell me you don't see them?" I question him with a look that arouses compassion. I know Euniel well enough to know that he doesn't like to hurt his fellow man. Seeing my sad look, he hurries to answer by justifying.
"No my dear, it's not that I've become distant. At least, it's not on purpose. It's the circumstances that have taken place lately that have caused me to be very busy. I don't never wanted to be intentionally distant with you."
"When you talk about circumstances lately, you're referring to Muse eh?! Because it's since she came back that you started to distance yourself from me. You don't want to marry me anymore, is that it? You want to go back with her?"
"No honey! It has nothing to do with Muse. At least it's not like you think. Trust me, Muse had nothing to do with it. And as for our marriage, well- I'm sure I still intend to marry you. But at the moment, there are a few minor issues that I need to deal with urgently. And because of that, I won't be able to be there for you." He hastens to say.
"So tell me what's going on so that I'm less worried. I'd like to be quiet and trust you, but I'm afraid that this girl will take you away from me. I can't let my guard down until it will prowl around you." I reply with a more tearful look. Of course, I also do comedy.
Euniel seems to believe in my distress. He looks at me guiltily. He heaves a slight sigh then he tells me
"My darling, if I've been so absent these last few days, it's because I found out that my father was not my real father."
Wow! I believe that what I have just heard will interest me greatly. I manage my place well, then I ask him the question with great interest.
"How come your father is not your real father? Who told you such nonsense?"
"It's not nonsense Sandra. It's the plain truth and there's even a DNA test that confirmed my biological father is not the man who raised me." Euniel tells me with a convincing look. I can't help but question him accordingly
"Really? I guess you must know your new father by now. Then who is he?"
"Right now, I can't tell you more than what you've already heard. Things are much more complicated than you think. But as soon as everything is back to normal, I'll let you know all this story and in every detail."
"Ah no Euniel! You have already put me aside enough in your life. I am your fiancée and therefore your future wife. You have an obligation to tell me the events you are going through. I am sure that Muse knows everything, right?!" I respond by indicating my displeasure.
"Yes, but it's not like you think..."
"So how is it? You see why I say that you prefer her to me and that I feel in an uncomfortable situation since she is back? How do you want to justify the fact that she, who does not is nothing to you, know such important information, while I, your own fiancée, know nothing?" I get indignant at him, showing my displeasure.
I speak while flowing crocodile tears. I know Euniel and I know he cannot remain insensitive to my tears. What can I say, he is a well-educated man of good character. In addition to Euniel's morality, I also know how to manipulate a person when the need calls for it, as well as playing with people's psychology. As I hoped, Euniel becomes more tender.
"Okay, I want to tell you everything. But at the moment I'm very exhausted and I don't feel like doing anything else. I'm going to travel very early tomorrow morning and I would like to rest for the moment. But as soon as I return from this trip, I promise to tell you everything you want to know." He told me looking serious.
"Are you traveling? Where are you going? You didn't tell me." I question him once more.
"I'm going to my dad. He has things to tell me. I want to understand why he's been hiding the truth from me all this time." He answers me calmly.
"In that case, you're right to rest. Do you want me to make you a small meal before going to bed?" I ask becoming soft.
"No thank you! Muse had already bought me a meal before I got home." He responds spontaneously, not realizing what he just said. He looks up at me with a guilty look. Normally, I would have made a scene of jealousy. Seeing that I didn't say anything, he apologizes looking sorry.
"I'm sorry, I didn't realize I was talking to you! But that's not what you think."
"Don't worry sweetie! You've reassured me that there's nothing between you two. I trust you completely, honey! I just want you to know that I'm here for whatever you want. pass. Don't put me aside from your life. Whatever this ordeal you are going to face, I will face it with you. I am your fiancée and future wife. As a result, we are a team and each of us must trust each other." I reply to him, looking at him with reassuring eyes.
My approach is not trivial. Euniel surely wants to undertake a mission to know his parents. I want to know about everything and be involved in everything he does. I want to know everything about his life down to the smallest detail. It is for this reason that I have to behave like a real support and get him to trust me. He shouldn't dismiss it. I therefore intend to ignore his relationship with Muse and avoid as much as possible any scene of jealousy because of her. I have to make him feel like I'm totally supportive of him.
