Thank You and Good Bye
Il mio primo e ultimo amoreHappy Reading!!!
It was an awkward silence once the nurse left. Vincenzo moved forward and placed the bags on the table. Cha Young`couldn't disagree with the nurse's point; the man was handsome, wearing a 3-piece Booralo suit, pale skin, pink lips. Cha Young was no wonder amazed by the beauty, though she has spent half of her teenage life in Italy she hasn't ever saw someone like him. But right now, she needed answers. What was this thing about marriage. And so, without any hesitation, she asked "We're not married, are we? Who are you and what happened?''
Vincenzo was a bit shocked when she spoke up and the way she quickly started investigating, he was a bit surprised about the marriage question too but knew that it might be the same concidence as the doctor thought of him as 'her husband'.
