OPEN YOUR MASK, PRINCESS!
Episode 216 PROTECTION OF A BROTHER
Chen Kho was meditating when the door to his room was knocked down by the guards, his concentration instantly crumbling. He hurried to change the position of the bed, hiding the activities he had just done. The door of his room was open, Chen Kho's guess must have been one of the maids coming to bring food rations.
“Brother .…”
The voice that was familiar with the special call was very recognizable Chen Kho, there was only one person who called him with the designation ‘brother’. He hurried to wake up from his sleepwalking. “Grace, you finally came.” Chen Kho exclaimed in delight, from the glare of his sparkling eyes clearly reflected an immeasurable sense of pleasure
seeing his sister's arrival.
“Brother, sorry to visit you.” Grace hugged her brother tightly, her eyes closed until tears just glazed over.
Chen Kho let go of the hug, he started to be unhappy to find his sister crying. Although the girl was crying behind him, but the wet droplet hit the shirt on his shoulder. “You're crying? Did that jerk hurt you?” tanya Chen Kho growled. He did not hesitate to run away from this room to beat Xiao Jun if Grace confirmed her conjecture.
Grace shook her head with a smile, “No, not that. I'm just too happy to meet you to tears.” Grace wiped her tears then smiled sweetly as if she had not cried before.
The sweet smile that served as a cover for Grace did not work for Chen Kho, he still could not believe that meeting with her to make Grace moved. He knew his sister who was not a typical smooth-feeling girl. Grace only cries when she is desperate and doesn't know what to do.
“Honestly, free you cover. I know you very well, unless you don't trust me anymore.” Said Chen Kho. His heart was broken when he saw his sister sad.
Grace smiled bitterly, she did not choose the wrong place to vent. All he was worried about was Chen Kho's hard-to-control emotions when angry, Grace just wanted to be heard without needing to be helped by concrete actions. He was reluctant to make Chen Kho quarrel again with the man he loved.
“Promise first, brother must be quiet. Don't do anything to anyone, if you love me and care about me!” threat Grace's.
Chen Kho was speechless, rather heavily having to say such a promise. His emotions were blowing up and he wasn't sure he could control them either.
“Can kak?” Grace is asking for certainty.
Chen Kho glanced at Grace, his sister's face was no less frustrated with him. He could not let the girl suffer. Inwardly asked, why was their fate so unfortunate to be involved in the mad ambition of their father. Chen Kho let out a long sigh before giving an answer. “I promise!”
Grace smiled broadly then hugged Chen Kho once again, a common thing they often do when sharing grief. “You've always been the brother I can count on. Thanks.” Grace's whisperer was happy.
“Then, what makes you sad?” chen Kho asked impatiently.
The hug loosened Grace, her face changed expression from happy to pitiful. “I feel Xiao Jun does not love me.” Grace's frowns.
Chen Kho looked at his sister gently, finally Grace realized she was not loved. During this time Chen Kho tried to cover up and did anything to keep Grace feeling. But the rot can't be covered forever. Love that cannot be forced can not be covered with pretense. “What's your plan?”
Grace turned her back to Chen Kho, more comfortable confessing her feelings without facing him head-on. “My plan? Huft .. Bro, I'm not a good planner. At first I balked at this matchmaking, even confidently betting on dad that I wouldn't fall in love with him. I hate being forced to marry a man I don't know, I think it's better to run away here.” Grace stopped talking, she gazed deeply into the scenery outside the window.
“I'm sorry I lost to my dad, it doesn't take a year I've been in love so much.” Grace chuckled, laughing at her stupidity.
“Grace ...” Chen Kho called slowly, he began to tremble at the grief of his sister. Unrequited love was never felt by Chen Kho but he knew that it was very painful.
“I have decided and will not regret. I've fallen in love, this pain is not her fault .. but I am too loving and do not know how to be loved. Whether it ends like what it will be, I will still try to fight for this feeling to be reciprocated from him.” Said Grace soft and steady.
The steadiness of Grace choosing that steep path to walk over clearly stifled Chen Kho, he knew everything, she said, knowing who was in Xiao Jun's heart so there was barely any gap for Grace to sneak into Xiao Jun's heart.
“You can still choose another path, break this bond. Come with me and dad back to America, Grace!” chen Kho. He grabbed Grace's hand so he wanted to convince her.
Grace brushed off the grip because she was not happy to hear her brother's advice. “No. He's my future husband, wherever he goes I have to come. Bro, don't push me! I'll never decide him.”
Chen Kho did not stop thinking stubbornly his sister, already know not to be loved but still desperate to hurt himself. Chen Kho began to be tempted to use magic in order to subdue Grace, but his intentions were soon undone. The effect will not be good in the future can even damage Grace's future. He would not care if done to others, but to the only brother he cared about, Chen Kho was not to the heart.
“You sure you won't regret it? What if he can't love you at all because of another woman?” Chen Kho was forced to throw facts that he had been covering up so far in order to keep Grace feeling. It is better for the girl to know the bad reality now and save herself from the trap of unrequited feelings, rather than getting late in an impossible love. Chen Kho wishes Grace's eyes are open and takes the right decision – return home.
Grace's palm began to cool and tremble, the question Chen Kho described was more like reality. Xiao Jun loves another woman? The man who pinned the ring and tied it up had another woman? Grace shook her head, her tongue was twisted, her pair of beautiful eyes began to glaze over.
“Grace? If he loves you, there is no way he will ignore you. People who are in love always miss each other and want to meet, do you see if he is looking for you? Did he ask you? All those answers are NO!” Chen Kho began to speak out, hoping to resuscitate Grace who was blinded by love.
Grace covered her ears with both hands, she would not listen anymore. His head kept shaking with his eyes closed! “No! Nah! Nah! Brother lied! He couldn't have had another woman. She's willing to be engaged to me, if she has another woman for what she's willing to be betrothed!”
Chen Kho laughed loudly, laughing at his sister's innocence. “Do you think you're the only one forced? A successful man like him is he still at home? You're too naive Grace! Okay .. If you don't believe it, just go with it! Prove that my words are true, you are not loved. The woman he loved was named Weini!”
The deg! Hearing a woman's name called Chen Kho instantly heartened Grace. Just hearing a name hurts a lot, is that true? Or is Chen Kho tricking her? Grace didn't realize her tears were pouring down her smooth cheeks. “Weini?” lirih.
***
Hi Readers, more and more suggest how the reaction of Grace yes when meeting Weini later? Nothing has hurt yet, Grace. About Chen Kho is good on the other side, huh? It's evil, evil, but it still has a good side anyway, Hmmmm ….
Anyone want to share ideas? Hehe ….
Who always misses you, you,
