My Long Distance Wife
Things We Hate To Discuss
Kyle Anderson, the only heir of Anderson Hospital. He was an ambitious person and willing to work harder than any veteran doctors in order to become successful as soon as possible. He believed he had a huge responsibility on his shoulder
With that mindset of his, he had one problem which was he refused to get involved in romantic relationship
As he reached 27 years old..........
Mrs. Anderson
*noticing her son* Welcome back, Kyle 😊
Kyle Anderson
*closed the main door* I'm back, mom.
Kyle Anderson
*sitting on the sofa* Too many patients today. And I forgot to have my lunch.
Mrs. Anderson
Poor boy. Now, get changed and we'll have dinner together.
Kyle Anderson
Sounds good. I'll go to my room first.
Kyle changed his clothes to t-shirt and went to dining room. He saw his mother plated chicken soup, fish with sweet sauce and green salad
Mrs. Anderson
Are you free this weekend?
Kyle Anderson
I guess I have some free time. Why, mom?
Mrs. Anderson
Lets have a cup of coffee at Rosemary Cafe. Okay?
Kyle Anderson
Okay, I'll do that 😊
Kyle went to the Rosemary Cafe as told by his mother
As he arrived there, he spotted Mrs. Anderson with two ladies and walked there
Mrs. Anderson
*saw Kyle from afar* There you are.
Mrs. Anderson
Come sit here.
Kyle's seat was beside his mother and in front of a young lady
Kyle Anderson
*whisper* Mom, why do you ask me here?
Mrs. Anderson
*chuckled* Oh, son. You are so dense as usual when it comes to something which isn't related to work 🤭
Kyle Anderson
Huh? *confused*
Mrs. Anderson
You see, Mrs. Howard's daughter is also single.
Mrs. Anderson
So this gathering is for both of you.
Mrs. Howard
It's only matchmaking. We won't force you to marry with each other.
Mrs. Howard
Just take some time to know each other and then tell us whether you would like to proceed or not.
Mrs. Howard
How is it, Tessa?
Tessa, Mrs. Howard's daughter showed slightly not happy with that meeting
Tessa Howard
Um,,,,, alright, mom.
Mrs. Anderson
Well then, how about we let both of them to have a chat alone for now, Mrs. Howard?
Mrs. Howard
Sure 😊 We'll go to shopping while both of you spend your time here, okay?
The mothers got up and left the cafe
Kyle Anderson
*sighed* Haa~ Didn't think mom would do this.
Tessa Howard
Um,,,,, I'm sorry about this. You must feel uneasy to join this meeting, right?
Kyle Anderson
No, no. It's not your fault.
Kyle Anderson
I mean,,,,, I always busy with my work and didn't ever think about marriage.
Kyle Anderson
So,,,,, um.....
Tessa Howard
Yes, I understand.
Tessa Howard
I also feel the same.
Tessa Howard
It's one of things that I wanna avoid to discuss with my family.
Kyle Anderson
I agree *nodded* Oh, by the way, I'm Kyle Anderson *stretched out his hand*
Tessa Howard
Tessa Howard *shook hand with Kyle*
And they felt awkward again
Tessa Howard
Ahahaha 😅 Sorry, I don't know what kind of topic I have to speak with you.
Tessa Howard
Doctor and teacher are very different professions.
Kyle Anderson
*smiled* Me too. It's been a while since I have a simple chat with someone other than my mom.
Tessa Howard
While I always interact with kids, I mean my students.
Kyle Anderson
I also have some kids as my patients.
They shared their stories with each other right after they found some ideas to chat
Kyle Anderson
*phone ringing* Sorry, Miss Howard. I have to go to hospital now.
Tessa Howard
Oh, really? It's fine 😊 I also have to go now.
They parted ways even though Kyle felt bad to leave earlier than Tessa
Just Dragging Their Time
Kyle spent his time reading a book about heart attack while enjoying the cold breeze at the balcony
Then Mrs. Anderson appeared with two cups of white coffee
Kyle Anderson
*startled* Yeah. Just a few pages before going to sleep 😊
Mrs. Anderson
*placing the coffee on the coffee table* So, how's Tessa?
Kyle Anderson
Hum? What do you mean?
Mrs. Anderson
Come on, son. You know what I'm talking about.
Kyle Anderson
😅 Well,,,,, I still have to take time thinking about it.
Mrs. Anderson
Alright *shrugged* But don't spend too much time or you'll lose her then.
Kyle Anderson
Pfft. Mom~ We are not dating 😂
Mrs. Anderson
I know. I just wanna remind this busy son to spare some room to think about his future.
Kyle Anderson
Yeah, yeah, I got it. I'll tell you when I've decided about this, okay?
Mrs. Anderson
Make sure you won't forget about this *serious face*
Mrs. Anderson
Oh, the coffee almost become cold. Lets drink while they are still warm.
Meanwhile at Howard household
Mrs. Howard saw Tessa was typing something using her laptop
Mrs. Howard
Preparing for tomorrow's lesson?
Tessa Howard
Yup! 😁 I found some great activities in youtube to do for my students.
Mrs. Howard
Oh, really? That's great.
Tessa Howard
*turned her face to her mother* So? Is there something you wanna ask me, mom?
Mrs. Howard
*chuckled* You know me very well.
Mrs. Howard
It's about Mrs. Anderson's son.
Mrs. Howard
Tell me,,,,, what do you think about him?
Tessa Howard
*thinking* 🤔 He,,,,, he's a fine man. A great doctor.
Mrs. Howard
So you mean you like him?
Tessa Howard
*laughing* It's not that I can fall in love immediately 😂
Mrs. Howard
Is that so? Fine, understood.
Mrs. Howard
Then, inform me about your yes or no as soon as possible. Got it?
Tessa Howard
*nodded* No worries, mom 😁 I promise I'll do that.
Tessa was at the staff room after teaching music for grade 3 students
She put her teaching materials on the table and rested comfortably
Tessa Howard
*looking at her phone* One new message?
Tessa opened the message. She was shocked as it was from someone unexpected, Kyle
Kyle Anderson
Hi, Miss Howard. It's me, Kyle Anderson.
Kyle Anderson
Sorry for disturbing you. I got your number from your mother.
Kyle Anderson
If possible, I would like us to meet to have further discussion.
Kyle Anderson
I'll be waiting for your reply. Thank you.
Tessa understood Kyle's message that much. She also was pressured by her mother about that matter. So she replied to Kyle's message immediately
Tessa Howard
Surely we can meet, Dr. Anderson.
Tessa Howard
I also want to have a talk with you about that.
Tessa Howard
Lets have breakfast together at Rosemary Cafe on this Sunday.
It took only a minute to get Kyle's reply
Kyle Anderson
Great. We'll have breakfast there then.
Kyle Anderson
By the way, just call me Kyle.
Tessa giggled reading his reply
Tessa Howard
Alright, Kyle. See you soon.
Tessa Howard
Also, call me Tessa. No need to call me Miss Howard.
Then she put her phone on the table. Her thought about Kyle was lingering in her mind. She couldn't conclude what kind of person Kyle was. She just hoped Kyle would say something which could help both of them explained better to their parents
Tessa Howard
*closed her eyes* (I just hope he'll say he don't wanna marry me)
Their Secret Contract
As promised, they had breakfast at the cafe
After they finished eating, Tessa was the one began the serious talk
Tessa Howard
Um,,,,, Dr. Anderson, about.....
Kyle Anderson
Just call me Kyle.
Tessa Howard
*paused* ..... Oh, right. I'm sorry 😅
Tessa Howard
Well,,,,, Kyle. Today's meeting is about,,,,, that matter, is it?
Kyle put the coffee cup down after taking a sip of it
Kyle Anderson
Indeed. I'm ready to respond about it.
Tessa showed a calm smile hoping that Kyle wouldn't feel guilty for rejecting Tessa, but.....
Tessa Howard
So,,,,, you're gonna reject me, right?
Kyle Anderson
Actually, I wanna marry you.
Tessa paused for a second
Tessa Howard
You wanna marry me?
Kyle Anderson
I know it must shock you a lot but hear me out first.
Kyle Anderson
Miss Howard,,,,, I mean, Tessa. What are you thinking about marriage?
Tessa Howard
*taking breath slowly* I'm not sure whether my opinion is as same as yours, but,,,,, I don't take marriage as my first priority.
Tessa Howard
I just feel comfortable with living by only myself *grinned slightly*
Kyle Anderson
Me too. I do think that marriage is useless thing people do.
Kyle Anderson
I prefer my job more than anything else.
Tessa Howard
I understand your point.
Tessa Howard
Climbing to the top before we can't reach anymore.
Kyle Anderson
I like those phrases.
Kyle Anderson
That's why, I've been thinking about,,,,, a solution for our problems.
Kyle Anderson
As we both realized, we've been pressured by our parents to get married as soon as possible.
Kyle Anderson
And I know my mom will someday force me to get married.
Kyle Anderson
*slid a paper* How about,,,,, we got married only to get the title?
Tessa Howard
*confused* What do you mean?
Kyle Anderson
*pointed out the paper* Read the contract I've made.
Tessa Howard
Okay *lifting up the paper*
