Description
"Kailangan nating mag-usap in private." "Ganoon ba? Sige, iyon lang pala, eh. Tungkol saan?" "Tungkol sa napipinto nating pagpapakasal." "That, you should discuss with my father. He's planning everything in my life now. I'm only here to obey." She steadily looked at him. "So, Tito Armando was right. I'm marrying a man with no spine." Napatuwid siya ng upo. Alam niyang ang tinutukoy nito ay ang sinabi rin sa kanya ni Justin. It was one thing for Justin to tell him he had none of those, pero ang isang babaeng katulad ni Annabella? "Ah, hindi naman yata tama iyan," protesta niya. "Hindi pa man tayo nagpapakasal, gusto mo na akong i-under." "Wala akong balak i-under ang isang lalaki. I'm only after what your father can do for the hacienda. Maging malinaw sana sa ating dalawa iyon." "Bakit kaya hindi ka sa kanya magpakasal?" naiinsulto nang tanong niya. "Bakit nga ba hindi?" parang nang-iinis din na sabi nito. "But he didn't ask me, did he? If he did, I would have a husband who'd respect me. And that would have been enough."
