President's Substitute Wife

“No, I’ll leave alone. I promised Sean I will leave on my own.”

I just told Sean that.

I wanted to reassure him.

Ming was reluctant. I went on persuading him. At last I convinced him.

It rained that night on this island where it didn’t often rain.

Sean stood with me in the cabin on the dock.

It was raining all the time.

A sailor ran in from the outside. “Mr. Jessop, I think it’s going to rain for hours. It will be dangerous if we go by boat.”

“Then don’t leave.” Sean looked at me.

It was too dark for me to see his expression.

He reached out and wanted to put his big hand behind my back. I took a step forward and took out my cell phone and said to Sean, “President Jessop, it’s past twelve. In a sense, you are Miss Lewis’s husband today.”

“Yes.”

Sean responded to me.

I thought for a moment, “since God doesn’t want me to leave, I won’t leave. I really want to see President Jessop as a groom. The last time I married you, you just walked the red carpet.”

“June…”

“President Jessop, please call me by my full name.”

With that, I took my luggage and was about to walk out in the rain when I saw a man coming with an umbrella under the dim yellow light not far away.

Ming.

He went to the cabin and looked at me, “it’s been raining. I don’t think you’ll leave, so come to pick you up.”

“OK.” I felt warm when I saw Ming. I smiled and said, “thank you. I was just thinking about how to get back.”

With that, I went directly to Ming’s umbrella.
