Middle Child Syndrome - Chapter 419

Chapter 419: Ch 419: How can you trust him? part 1
“Oh, it’s you. I did not expect you to call me Rika. Especially after I heard you lost your memory, can I help you with anything?”

Rika did not want to assume, but the voice from the other end sounded a little wet. It made her feel guilty for calling the other person, so Rika looked awkward when she replied.

“Ugh, I don’t know if I should be asking you for help. But Mark said I could ask you to help me with some tasks related to Suzie’s wedding. But if you don’t want to help out, then it’s fine! You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to.”

For some reason, Rika felt extra guilty for asking this person for help.

She had no idea what was happening, but she felt like she was being rude to this person for no reason.

There was an awkward silence on the other side of the phone, and it felt like Rocxx had no idea what he wanted to say to Rika. She was 90% sure that the older alpha would end up slamming the phone down and not paying attention to her.

But that did not happen.

Instead of cutting the phone and telling Rika to go fuck herself, Rocxx sighed and replied in a gentle voice.

“Sure, this will help me distract myself while drowning in my sorrow. So, when do you want to meet up? Oh, and before you meet me, do something about that cousin of mine and your other partner.

I don’t want to be torn to shreds just because I decided to spend a day with you like this. My life is precious to me.”

The man replied to Rika before he cut off the call.

Rika’s heart felt lighter suddenly, and she had no idea why. There was something about Rocxx that made Rika feel less guilty.

“I did not have anything to be guilty about in the first place. Fuck! I am getting too ahead of myself here. There is no reason for me to feel responsible for anything anyone else did.”

Rika spoke before picking up the phone and calling Emily to tell her what happened.

She wanted to finish the shopping and all her responsibilities as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, she underestimated the work needed to make a wedding happen. Rika was about to discover the trouble of planning such huge weddings.

…

“Would you like to buy this dress? Well, no? How about this one? I am sure that this one would strike your fancy. Also, a, no? Then how about this one?”

The shopkeeper kept asking Suzie the same question, but no matter what she brought out, nothing struck Suzie’s fancy.

She was uninterested in getting married or wearing bridal clothes. All she wanted was to go back home and fall asleep.

However, her mother had insisted that Suzie get her wedding dress before any other preparations could be made.

Of course, her groom also had to come along, making Suzie’s consistently low mood even worse.

“Do you have more exotic dresses for my dear daughter? These are too common and don’t suit Suzie’s complexion. I was thinking about a more baby-pink type of dress. It will look good on her skin and hair.”

Suzie let her father take charge of this dress session. He had a good head on his shoulder, so Suzie doubted he would let her step on stage dressed like a hobo.

The main concern Suzie had with all this was her husband-to-be and how he reached for Suzie’s hand and clutched it hard.

“Sweetheart, why don’t you try and look a little happier? We are planning for the next part of our lives, after all. It will do you better to smile and show some compassion.”

Henry’s grip on Suzie’s hand was tight enough to make her cringe.

There was no way in hell Suzie was going to be happy about getting hitched to a no-named man.

She could not even come out and say that she was going to marry someone who had no property or money to his name.

Her friends were already bombarding Suzie with questions about her groom-to-be and how they could not find anything about him when they searched.

Suzie had no courage to tell them what had happened and how she was forced to spend her life with a man she did not care about.

“Shut up! It is all your fault that we are in this mess. If you know what is good for you, you won’t cause me such trouble again. Now stop talking to me and pretend you don’t know me.”

Suzie gritted her teeth as she spoke. She was clear about what she wanted, but unfortunately, the man disagreed.

“And what if I don’t want to? You do know that I am your alpha, right? If you talk to me like this, then the one who will be in trouble is you. I won’t be able to help or want to help you either.”

The man spoke calmly, but his pheromones showed his thoughts about Suzie.

Those heavy pheromones forced Suzie to bow down, and she gritted her teeth in agitation as breathing became harder and harder. She clutched her throat to get more air in, but it did not help.

“Oh my! It looks like Suzie is sick right now. I will take her to the restroom while you continue shopping. I am sure whatever you buy for Suzie will look good.”

Henry complimented the older omega before he clutched Suzie’s shoulder and let his pheromones target her specifically.

It caused Suzie to look even sicker, and she hunched over in shock.

She looked at her father for help, and her eyes begged him to understand what was happening. But her father looked confused and a little understanding at the same time.

“Ah, I see! That can happen during these days. Sure, take Suzie and make her feel better. I will wait for you both here.”
