The Love Trap of the Ruler.
Chapters 150. It tastes bad.
“Sister! Eh?” helena asked in shock to see Graciella finally coming out of the greenhouse. She was already a little worried Graciella would get lost in that part of the glass labyrinth. But suddenly Graciella came out with a man. How did you get a date here so fast? and why would you get such a handsome guy? Thought Helena was dumbfounded.
“Helena, this is Xavier, and this is Xavier Helena, she works at my place and sister Daren,”, said Graciella introducing Helena with Xavier. Helena immediately smiled amiably but only replied a nod by Xavier. Helena only frowned seeing how big this man was.
“Kak, E? Can I talk to you for a second?” helena asked Graciella while calling out to her.
Graciella looks towards Xavier who is like giving a gesture to allow Graciella to go with Helena. Graciella immediately walked over and was pulled by Helena slightly away from Xavier.
“Sister, does sister want to go with that man?” whispered Helena.
“Ehm, yes why?” ask Graciella who is confused why Helena whispered this way.
“I'm not sure if Boss would like that. Big brother, big brother must be careful, big brother meets the man, later if he acts strangely how? He is a little scary, although handsome,” said Helena glanced at Xavier who seemed to be silently watching them.
Graciella chuckled at what Helena said. She understood, so Helena thought that Graciella had just met Xavier here and was worried about it. Helena frowned.
“Why Brother laughed instead, we work in the investigation department. And ,we have a lot of cases like this, so I don't think you're stuck. After all, it is better that you get back in touch with General Stevan, instead of him being able to take care of your brother, his face is also handsome,”, Helena said, starting to bring out what she had thought.
“You have a relationship with Stevan?” xavier asked who was suddenly behind Graciella and Helena. Helena raised her eyes looking at the face of the man whose gaze was truly frightening to Helena. Too serious.
“Eh? No, I don't have anything to do with him. It's just a misunderstanding. Stevan called me last night and they thought you were Stevan. Helena, the man we talked about yesterday on the ship, he was the one,” Graceilla glanced at Xavier who was frowning his forehead. What's talking about her?
“Oh!!” helena said with lips that form a perfect circle. After that he immediately shone the horse. It turns out he had been wrong all along. “So he's the one. I'm sorry, all this is just a mistake. I won't bother brother and him, I'll go home first.” Helena quickly walked away leaving them.
“Helena! Go home together,” said Graciella.
“I'll be in front!” yell Helena again. He didn't want to be behind and felt awkward seeing the two people making out. But why does he feel familiar with that man? It seems like he's seen it before, but where?
The waves appear rhythmic and fill the tone of the night. A stronger breeze blew along that coast. Graciella and Xavier walk slowly enjoying the night. No one talks just staring at each other once in a while.
Graciella stared at the ocean that was so beautiful this afternoon with her blue color. But now everything is dark and dark. Tonight wasn't too bright either. Not many stars are visible. Looks like it's gonna rain tonight.
Graciella who was hypnotized by the pounding of soft waves and all the darkness was shocked when a warm touch enveloped her hand. Graciella looked directly at her hand that Xavier had already grasped.
Graciella just smiled broadly looking at the stiff face of Xavier. They're not young anymore, but why doing this feels like going back to adolescence.
“Why laugh?” ask Xavier.
“No, um, did we do this often?” graciella asked looking at her hands that felt so warm.
“I also don't remember.”
“I wonder how we can meet first. Was it after I got divorced?”
“Really? So I fell in love with you right away? It's not like me,” said Graciella. It was hard to like something before. But if he already likes it, he'll keep it. So he remembered how he loved Adrean and kept him and finally gave up. But that doesn't mean that he can quickly accept a man. Especially before completing his relationship with Adrean.
“Maybe because I forced you,” Xavier said staring at Graciella's tiny face.
“Oh, yes then it does make sense.”
“Then now you feel compelled?”
Graciella was instantly speechless at Xavier's words. Why would this man ask such a question. “Do you think?”
“Forced or not I don't care. The important thing is that you stay with me, stop connecting with Stevan, he starts to bother me,” Xavier orders a glance towards Graciella.
“I can't.”
Hearing those words in an instant Xavier stopped his steps. He looked at Graciella very sharply.
“What do you mean you can't avoid it?” xavier asked seriously.
“I can't not be in contact with him. It's not that you're saying that for a while we shouldn't be seen together in public. So it would be weird if I suddenly had nothing to do with him, right? I'm sure he definitely doesn't want to stop figuring out what the reason is.”
Xavier threw his gaze towards the vast ocean. She doesn't like it if Graciella reconnects with any man including Stevan. She doesn't know how it used to be? But now the man started to bother him. He was sure the man also had an unusual taste for Graciella.
But what Graciella said was true as well, it was impossible to suddenly ask Graciella to leave him. Xavier was so confused as to how, and he always disliked this kind of situation.
“I also met Adrean this afternoon,” Graciella said. It instantly made Xavier look towards Graciella.
“You met him?” ask Xavier. The air on the beach was not too hot but now Xavier feels so burning. Xavier knew Adrean was here. But he didn't know they had met.
“Yes, but I don't want to meet him. I told him to go home and he went straight home, it looks like he did keep his promise.”
“Then what? You'll like him again if he changes?” ask Xavier who can't help himself.
Stevan, then Adrean. If Stevan he can still hold himself back. She knew Graciella was not a woman who easily accepted a new man into her heart. But Adrean, the man once in Graciella's heart had even married her. What if the fire comes back?
Xavier lets go of his hand and is confused as to what impingement he has to find. His feelings were now being churned by the jealous flame embroidery.
“No, I won't be with him even if he changes. Are you jealous?"
Xavier looked towards Graciella with the glare of his sharp eyes. It turns out that jealousy really doesn't taste good. What should he do now?
