Toni accidentally invites Eliana to enjoy lunch in the outdoor dining room next to the main house. Toni deliberately asked the chef to prepare lemon herb potatoes, chicken cordon bleu, spicy tuna roll and some other dessert menu.
He was sure Eliana would love a slightly different dining atmosphere, where they could enjoy the dishes while looking at the view of the pond and artificial waterfall.
"You must like it" Toni said as she handed Eliana a plate of food.
"Why is it called cordon bleu?" eliana asked while observing the menu on her plate. As usual, Toni had cut it off to make it easier for Eliana to eat. The appearance of the pieces of beef and melted cheese is really appetizing.
"Cordon bleu is taken from French, meaning blue ribbon. This food was originally intended for owners of blue ribbons."
"The blue ribbon owner means rich man, right? The highest caste in France?"
Toni laughs little "Yes. You're right." He grabbed Eliana's hand from across the table and rubbed it fondly. "How's your feeling?"
Eliana who was putting the first mouthful of cordon bleu into her mouth turned to Toni. Her husband's face was worried. "I'm fine, Toni. Really, no lie."
Toni exhaled, "I'm sorry, I couldn't tell you everything in the details of that time. Your psychic condition back then didn't allow you to listen to anything bad."
"On what? Tiffany?"
Toni throws her gaze into the delicate hands of Eliana, suddenly having her throat choked while re-mutating their traumatic story. Kept at Eliana who so easily forgot her mistake.
"For the sake of good relations between families in the past, I negotiated with Tiffany. I'll withdraw my charges against him on the terms I set."
"It's okay - what. I see, you've been trying to do what's best for me. But there are companies and family relationships that must also be considered."
Toni frowned. "You're that easy to forgive someone who made a big mistake?"
"I don't know, Toni. Right now I don't want to think of anything heavy, I'd rather enjoy the days with you before you start work." Eliana stretched her hand out to Toni's jaw. "Let's move on, and grab the future."
Toni smiled, Eliana's touch always managed to make her feelings calm. "By the way, about our wedding I'll announce after our trip."
Eliana nodded. "I trust you, Toni."
Their lunch lasted an hour, they finished the meal while talking.
"Toni!"
Toni and Eliana, who were just about to get out of the dining room, stopped their steps when Alex called out to Toni.
Seeing Alex walk up to them, Toni's hand held Eliana tighter. He looked up and didn't look at Alex. Eliana frowned.
"Hi, Eli. How are you?" Alex greets Eliana, she tries to look cheerful.
Eliana smiled. "good. Have you eaten, Al?"
"Ehm, not yet." Alex shakes. "You just finished eating, hm?"
"Sorry, we want to go out" replied Toni coldly.
Alex's eyebrows shot up to hear Toni's sniffling answer, he glanced at Eliana hoping she could save him. He wants to save his fraternity with Toni. The mistake was not to tell him that he was going to meet Bryan until Toni and John were fooled. Then he also told Eliana everything without careful calculation."
For Alex, the mistake can be done anyone who is in his position. But it turns out that's not so Toni's mindset.
Alex cleared his throat and tried to smile, wryly. He knew that Toni didn't want to talk to him, not until when. "alright. Have a nice vacation."
Toni instantly pulls Eliana's hand to go unceremoniously against Alex.
Alex waved excitedly, slow down. Once again he had let down his best friend, somehow he never acted right in Toni's eyes.
"Toni. "greet Eliana when they're sitting.sweet in the back seat of a dark-glazed car. They will go to the police station because Eliana is healthy and can testify. A last thing to do before vacation.
(The last thing to do before the trip.)
"Hm." replied Toni without turning her head. He could sense what Eliana was about to discuss. Want not to look at it, but Eliana asked. Hhh...
"Why are you the same Alex?" eliana protested, her hands gently rubbed Toni's burly arms.
Toni exhaled, her expression visibly cramped. "Just be wild. Let him learn. I'm really upset with him. Always careless."
"What's that?" Eliana scrunched her forehead. "Let her be your sister. Brothers may fight but the bond still remember forever."
(Sister brother may quarrel but their bond will remain forever.)
"Ughh! But he already pisses me off. Moreover, he did not know the situation and instead hurt you. Why won't he wait for the right time to see you?"
Oh, so that's the reason. Toni just doesn't want anyone to hurt her.
"His guilt is not worth your fraternal relationship, Toni." rebuked Eliana softly. Eliana poked her arm against Toni's arm. "Whatever Alex's fault, you shouldn't be acting like this. You are more mature, so act like an adult."
Toni turned her head towards Eliana, Eliana's words slightly offended her pride. From the sentence, it is implied that Eliana calls herself childish.
The woman next to him smiled sweetly and looked at Toni lovingly. "Hhhh... Okay! Okay!" Toni raised one hand sign of surrender. "I'll forgive him, but it takes time."
Silence - silent admiration Toni on Eliana so level, the woman next to him really - really mature. He forgave those who hurt him. With Eliana, Toni's emotions can soon subside.
"We're the same, right? I forgive them too. Opening for them but for myself. Forgiving is to free yourself from the prison of bitterness, Toni."
Why is Eliana mature and wise like this?
Toni looked at Eliana unblinkingly. In her eyes, Eliana not only looks beautiful and s-e-x-y. His mind was completely open. She falls in love not only because of Eliana's sincerity but she is also caught up in the charms of an Eliana Gracia. Error Eliana Peterson, she's changed Eliana's last name to Peterson.
The name will continue to exist behind the name Eliana, until at any time. No one will be able to change it.
"Hey, do you know what we're gonna do after the police station business is over?" toni whispers to Eliana.
"What?"
"We'll momentarily escape and return to a world full of love." Toni blinked one eye.
Heh?
Unknowingly Eliana raised her eyebrows and glared. "Why are your thoughts the end - the end of this your mind is always dirty?"
"Oh, it's my responsibility to clean my brain of dirty things" Toni said as she kissed Eliana's red cheek.
