The Love Trap of the Ruler.
Chapters 159.
Graciella did deliberately show her the wound. He even slightly stroked her making sure the limelight from Adrean was her wound. If it was true that this wound was due to David Qing and Grandfather of Adrean, then he would feel extremely guilty. If it was true that Adrean saved her when she was about to commit suicide, then she would be able to feel that feeling again. Graciella tries to bring that feeling back.
“What is your memory not yet recovered?” ask Adrean again trying to analyze. Of course, I don't want to make a decision.
“Remember? Am I not okay? What's with my memory?” graciella asked with her pretend face. Must be so convincing. Stevan in the car not far from him just raised the corner of his lips. Graciella wasn't caught in Adrean's trap. If he had said no, then Adrean would have immediately been suspicious. Because she knew, for Graciella, she never lost her memory at all.
Adrean finally re-stretched his body then looked towards Graciella so seriously. Adrean tried to look at Graciella's eyes. Whether he was hiding something, if he had a little bit of a look away, Adrean would have known that this woman was lying to him. But, Graciella's gaze was so sternly staring at her.
“Adrean, didn't you say that you would obey all my requests? What if you told me about my son? is he still alive? right, she's alive, so she always shows up and calls me mama instead of you taking it from me so I have to ask you? Adrean, please, I just want to know where my son is.” Graciella spontaneously held Adrean's wrist which was immediately shocked. She did not expect Graciella to dare to touch her because she thought this woman was too afraid of her to even want to be close to her. But at this moment, he was holding her hand. Graciella's warm hand immediately kicked all her feelings.
Adrean really like eating the fruit of the malakama. He was really hesitant to bring out his thoughts. On one hand he wanted to say it because the hopeful and disappointed face of Graciella was so touching that it was now only for this woman. But at the moment it is as if there is a whisper not to do it. He was afraid, he was afraid that this woman's heart would go away from him.
“I don't know anything, I've said that your son is no longer in this world. I threw it away after you gave birth to it. No need to look for him anymore. It was just a sleeping flower, no need to overdo it,” Adrean said drinking his drink and throwing his gaze away from Graciella. Obviously this guy lied about it.
“Alright then! You right! Maybe I was just being too much. All right, thanks for meeting me. I am a little strange, just because dreams even dare to meet you. I'm leaving now, and I promise I won't bother you anymore. Thank you,” said Graciella hurriedly packed her things. He also took out some money to pay for the food he had ordered but had not been able to touch. He immediately stood up and wanted to put his feet away.
Adrean did not seem to know what to behave and act like. Seeing Graciella who was away from him certainly made her feel unwilling. Four years of trying to get close to this woman, just wanting to hear her voice was so difficult. Right now he was in front of her but he immediately wanted to go back. Of course he was afraid, an opportunity like this would never be able to come back again if he let Graciella away.
Adrean's hand immediately restrains Graciella's hand who accidentally walks past the man. When his steps are blocked. Graciella smiled her thin smile, she was sure now that the man would say it. Stevan who saw the incident from the embedded camera certainly immediately raised his eyes. How dare he touch Graciella. If he didn't remember this mission, Graciella would have jumped out of the car and hit the man's hand and let go of Graciella's hand.
“I will tell you,” said Adrean in a low tone forced. He wanted to be with Graciella for longer. If this was the only way he could be with her, then he would. After all, he just stayed to tell stories without having to open the identity of who the real father of Moira was. Graciella would only know the child was from a foreign man who was fucking her, there would be no such Xavier in her words.
Graciella listened carefully to what Adrean was telling her. Of course, the story is very different from the version that has been spoken by Stevan. In the story Adrean says give up Moira on someone to raise, but by the age of three, he no longer knows how Moira is doing.
“So my son is alive?” graciella asked with enlarged eyes. Is this a sign Moira is really still alive, if indeed Adrean's grandfather had killed Moira. For sure he would have said that his daughter was gone and made up stories about her death. But Adrean's answer is still gray and ambiguous. His suspicions and beliefs grew. His son may still be alive.
“I don't know if he's alive or not. But for sure I can not know anymore news about Moira,” Adrean said looking at Graciella's eyes that seemed to start wet and reddened.
“How do I find my son? He was so mad at me that I couldn't find him. He must have been waiting for me. Adrean, how can I find my son?” graciella asked with tears just like that. Every time he heard his son's name, like a trigger, his tears would easily fill his eye sockets.
Adrean took his handkerchief and handed it to Graciella to wipe her tears. She knows how unfortunately Graciella is to Moira, even she is willing to exchange all her happiness for Moira. Adrean even thought of something that was certainly selfish and cunning.
“Tell me, if I could find Moira, what would you give me?” ask Adrean. Graciella frowned, she knew the direction of the conversation from Adrean.
“If I find out anything about Moira, you should come back to me, how?” tawar Adrean again saw the questioning face of Graciella.
Graciella was still with her questioning face staring at Adrean. With a doubtful face, Graciella then said, “Alright.”
Adrean immediately smiled happily. It was easy for him to know the news about Moira, whether Graciella's child was still alive or not, he just needed to urge over his Grandfather or try to bribe his assistant. He'll definitely get some news of Moira's situation.
Stevan who heard that was immediately furious and could not believe Graciella replied like that, how could she return to the sneaky man's arms! not that it means he's back in the crocodile's mouth! Damnit damnit! Damn it! Now what should he do and he tell Xavier.
“But on condition, I should know everything, you should give me proof. If he's dead I want to know where the grave is or the ashes? How's death? But if he's alive, I want to meet him. Of course, everyone should have DNA evidence and tests. If you can't show proof of that, I won't accept it, how?” ask Graciella.
“Alright, I'll do it for you.” Adrean smiled so satisfied. He was absolutely sure he could do it. Graciella just squinted her thin lips. At least, he had managed to direct Adrean to look for the whereabouts of his son.
