Chapter 112

"I need you to help me figure out something Ryder. I don't know what's wrong with me. I don't think that I'm my usual self at all. Yesterday... Because of that woman....I lost control of myself. Why do I care what she does? What does it have to do with me if she comes with home with someone else or if she is late? So why will I lose my temper because of something like that? It doesn't have anything to do with me so why do I care so much? What has happened to me?" Raymond said.
Ryder had a vague idea of what he was talking about. But he still asked to be sure. "Who are you talking about? Is it the woman you married? Joanna Anrerson?" Ryder asked.
Joanna Anrerson? Raymond was instantly upset when he heard that name. He really wanted to find that woman and have her tl him just what kind of game she was playing with him right now. Why will she tell they dumb friend of hers that she wsd forced into marrying him? If anything, he is the one who was forced. He did not have a choice at all! He had to put up with it! Can anything be more annoying?
Raymond remembered that he had not told Ryder about that latest development. That the woman living in his house is not Joanna Anderson at all! She is some woman from God knows where. He doesn't even know anything about this woman at all! And yet she has this kind of effect on him! Now can something like this even be possible? He doesn't know what he was feeling right now. On one hand, he did not want to find out at all because he wasn't ready to face whatever it was anr on the other hand, he was angry that he did not know at all. How can be so contradicting like this?
"I never even liked her one bit. I married her because my grandfather kept pressuring me! I was going to leave her in six months. But because of her, I lost control of myself for the first time yesterday. What is wrong with me?" Raymond asked.
Ryder smiled. It seems that he was right from the beginning. His friend....it seemed that he fell for the woman that he married. It seemed that he was finally able to let go of that girl from when he was young. He should have seen this coming. If Raymond Walker doesn't want to do something, is there someone who can force him? But he made an exception for that woman. He should have seen something like this coming from the start.
"It seems that you fell for this woman. Joanna Anderson...I sure would like to see her some day. I want to see the woman who was able to get to someone who has been waiting for one person for eleven years. She really is quite good. I really want to meet her now" Ryder said.
Raymond was shocked. What nonsense is this idoit Ryder talking about? He was wrong to talk to him about this. He should have known that he won't have anything good to talk about. He was just going to talk about rubbish again. He should have known. He fell in love with who? That woman Allen? How can something like that even be possible?
"What nonsense are you talking about? Fall for who? It doesn't make sense at all! There is no way that I can fall in love with her. And besides, she is not Joanna Anderson!" Raymond said. For some reason, this stupid friend of his calling Allen Joanna made him angry. How is Allen that scheming woman Joanna? It isn't possible at all! In fact, he should have known from the beginning when she wasn't playing any tricks with him.
Ryder wasn't bothered when Raymond said that he isn't in love with her. He wasn't expecting this stubborn mule to accept it at once. It was the second part of his words that surprised him. What does he mean by she isn't Joanna Anderson? Isn't Joanna tht woman that he married? Is there someone else living in his house? What is this person talking about?
"What do you mean by she isn't Joanna Anderson? Isn't Joanna Anderson the woman that you married? Is there someone else living in your house? You are doing all kinds of things man" Ryder asked.
Raymond did not bother to listen to the nonsense that he was spewing. He just told Ryder what was going on. She isn't Joanna Anderson. She is Allen.
"She isn't Joanna Anderson. I was supposed to marry Joanna Anderson. But she is missing right now. Her friend did not want me to find out that she went missing. So he found someone that looks exactly like her. I don't know how he did it either. How can there be two people who look exactly like each other in this world and they both have such different personalities? Anyway,I don't know where Joanna Anderson is right now. For some reason, her friend seems to believe that she ran away but I know that it isn't true. I'm going to find her so that she can tell me what really is going on with her. Anyway, the woman that I'm talking about isn't Joanna Anderson. She's Allen" Raymond tried to explain to his friends in a few words.
"
Ryder felt he was going to get a headache from all the information that he just got. What is going on here? Two people who look exactly the same? The person that Raymond is supposed to marry is missing right now? And there is someone else who looks exactly like her living in his house? How can something like this be possible? It seems that Raymond fell in love with the woman that isn't Joanna? What kind of crazy story is this really?
"Wait, let me get this straight. The person that you are supposed to get married to, Joanna Anderson, she is missing right now. And there is someone else living in your house in her place? And you've fallen in love with that woman? Wow! This is great! Just amazing!" Ryder asked.
