Sweet Revenge's
Chapter 63: The Dinner

"No!"

Gaea and Lily glanced at Rainer who had just shouted like a child.

Being the center of attention, Rainer's cheeks began to decorate a faint red hue, "Is it just crabs?"

"There's only calamari salad and cheese cake as dessert" Lily said.

"I claim it," Rainer said quickly.

Gaea gawked at it, then laughed stifledly at Rainer's behavior. To be honest he could separate the man's special food, but seeing Rainer's behavior like this was fun as well.

"You won't be full, Rainer," Lily said. "Mothers make sure mom's crab dishes are delicious."

Rainer scratched the back of his neck nervously, feeling guilty at the enthusiastic look of Mother Gaea, he was eager to try it, not good also refused food, but his allergies held back his desire.

"Crab allergy rainer, Mom," said Gaea, "I just found out so I didn't have time to tell Mom, I'm sorry."

"So, even though I have prepared the biggest crab for today," said Lily disappointed.

Rainer's heart so bad for Mother Gaea, he believes the cuisine is made with love while thinking about what the response will be and Gaea when trying it.

The allergies he suffered never did not disappoint him.

Why also the special food here should be crab?

"Mom, there's still me and Ethan." Gaea tried to cheer up. "I'm sure it's over!"

A smile surfaced on Lily's lips again, "Mom forgot to have a child who ate."

Gaea let out a clumsy laugh, her simple life and her adoptive mother who always taught her not to waste food, flowed in her blood now.

Gaea was also taught to bargain for food that was so helpful when living in New York especially during the crisis of old dates, the trick of eating food samples in supermarkets to do just to prop up the stomach until lunch hour.

"May you get me a minute, will you?"

Gaea followed her mother, helped prepare dinner, took up the task of lifting a plate containing a steam crab that was so tempting in her eyes, put it on the dining table, then returned to the kitchen after, and then returned to the kitchen after that, take a round, milky-white plate totaling four, placing it in each one in front of the chair. Tiringly, he continues to prepare the rest, asking his mother to stop punishing Ethan in order to have dinner together.

Although Gaea admits it would be much better without Ethan, his sympathy won from his hatred, after all, his heart has forgiven only his brain will continue to remember the act.

Gaea smiled slightly as she took a seat beside Rainer, "Are your lips going to be okay?"

Rainer put a glass of water to his tightly closed lips, opened his cleavage slowly, felt no effect, he ventured again, just gulped it down, "It's okay."

"You should try to eat instead of drink" Gaea protested small, unsatisfied.

Rainer did not reply, staring at the crab in front of him nervously, the aroma of the herbal leaves burst into his sense of smell, he had no problem with the aroma even for him to smell fragrant, seeing the whole Alaskan crab is what makes his face pale and feel nauseous in his stomach.

His allergies are quite severe, only seeing so much effect on his body.

Unable to bear it, Rainer threw his face the other way while his chin-backed covered his nose.

Gaea tilted her head, "Rainer?" Instantly, he heard the chair beside him ringing, and glanced at who was sitting there, his eyes widening knowing it was Ethan not his mother. He took a deep breath, assuring himself that nothing would happen during this dinner.

"All right," said Lily.

They pray together, then take little by little the dishes presented.

Gaea himself without a doubt directly took the Alaskan crab, already can not bear to try it let alone this made by his mother. He opened the shell of the crab's legs using the scissors that had been prepared earlier, splitting into two showing red tender meat, astonished for a moment just put it in his mouth.

Rainer took the salad apart from the main course, devouring it also suppressed the nausea in his stomach. He can not fully enjoy it, the salad does not have a distinctive taste just mayonnaise its helper. He hurriedly finished it off as his stomach grew worse, "Excuse me."

"Eh?" Gaea stopped putting in her crab meat watching Rainer rise from his seat, running out of the house without looking at him at all. "Why yes?" muttered worriedly.

"Why don't you just look, baby?" ask Lily.

Gaea glanced at the food that was still left on her plate in a dilemma, she still wanted to eat, but she was also anxious about Rainer—'s state until the touch on her thigh awakened all of her consciousness. He coughed, glanced down at the table, rightly assuming that the culprit was a hand, precisely Ethan's hand moved up and down on his thigh, teasing him.

Gaea's body froze, her past memories inhabiting her mind, making her airway move quickly.

No. gabe.

It turns out Ethan remains the same, unchanged after four years.

Criminals are still criminals.

Gaea regains consciousness feeling Ethan's hand move up and when he reaches the sensitive part, he fights his fear, and forces his body to rise from sitting. With a real red blush, he said nervously, "I-I want to catch up with Rainer."

"But—"

Gaea doesn't care, all she has in mind is to escape from here, from Ethan's painful touch. Unsearched, he finds Rainer crouching on the front porch, "You okay?"

Rainer glanced at Gaea at a glance, then got up to his feet, "Yes, I guess."

Gaea looked at Rainer's deathly pale face as if she had seen a ghost, "Hm, your face cannot lie, Rainer. You sick?"

Gaea scratches his arm, and he wants to continue eating, but remembering that eating will get Ethan's touch on his thigh, his appetite gone a second later.

Gaea does not want to return home, not until Ethan and his mother finish eating.

"Hey, Rainer."

"Hm?"

"How about we watch the new year's fireworks outside?"

Rainer thought deeply. This cold air, he did not understand why Gaea wanted to celebrate outside when they could watch on the roof considering Gaea's mother's two-story house.

"Please?" Gaea added with an expression of her flagship puppy eyes.

Rainer snorted exasperatedly, such an expression of which he might have rejected, "Alright."

Gaea clapped her hands cheerfully, "Come."

Rainer followed from behind lazily.

***

So many strategic places to watch fireworks in Sitka even on the road can be because many have begun to install firecrackers and fireworks.

Gaea blew her gloveless hands, sending her warm breath into her frozen hands, her fault was immediately gone without any preparation at all just asking her mother for permission.

Rainer pulled Gaea's hand, took off one of her gloves, put it in her hand, "This is fair."

Gaea rolled her eyeballs, indeed had to be grateful Rainer gave help, only did it have to be next to the glove? Can't Rainer act like a gentleman in the many dramas he's watched? His mind was severed when his gloved hands, held by Rainer, put their hands into the man's thick jacket pocket.

"Happy?" asked Rainer with a hue on his cheek.

Looking at Rainer's timid mannerisms, Gaea made a red hue as well, bowing down allowing her hair to be nervous. Rainer's idea was pretty good as his hands were no longer cold, his head nodding in response.

They walked in an awkward silence, their thoughts raging with each other, thinking of opening up the topic of conversation.

"So the goal?" ask Rainer.

"Oh," Gaea recalled her initial goal, looking at the signboard, heaved a sigh of relief knowing the path they were taking was right.

"Gaea," call Rainer impatiently.

"You are, speaking politely for a little reason" said Gaea.

"I will if you don't shut up like a broken hearted person" Rainer said.

Gaea did not care, busy checking the name of the road so that they did not get lost.

"It's here" said Gaea.

Rainer glanced around him, and chuckled knowing it was the shoreline, he laughed as he did not feel surprised Gaea would take him to such a place. He sat on a chair made of cement and bricks, gazing in amazement at every fireworks that lit up the black sky above them.

Gaea sat down, "Beauty isn't it?"

"Hm ...."

"Here can also see the aurora loh," said Gaea spirit. "I like to see it first."

"It must be nice to see it, huh?"

Gaea nodded her head, "Of course, my friend here even respects me unlike your family who treats me like a doll."

Rainer furrowed his thick black brows in annoyance, "What do you mean to think so? We're just following Eryk's orders."

"Yes, Eryk."

"And I see you as a woman" Rainer said seriously.

"Eh?" gaea's widened eyes did not expect to receive such a sudden confession.

"Special woman to me" Rainer added, her eyes looking straight at Gaea's green eyes.

"navig ...."
