The Love Trap of the Ruler.
Chapters 197. You'll know where.
Xavier let go of his short kiss. He saw his wife's face in red. Graciella biting her lip made Xavier want to kiss her again. But just now Xavier wants to kiss Graciella back. Suddenly, Graciella's phone rang loudly. He forgot to turn off his ringtone.
“In the meantime,” said Graciella picked up her phone that was in her bag. Xavier, who had been so close to Graciella, immediately pulled her body. He sat back down and looked at Graciella who was looking at who was calling him. Graciella was shocked to see Daren's name there.
“Halo? Sister?” graciella said with a sigh. Of course he was hesitating, not that he had promised to give the answer last night. But being too happy and nervous too much makes Graciella forget her promise to Daren. “Sister, sorry yes yesterday I did not contact you.”
Xavier just looked at Graciella who looked awkward, he knew that it was from Daren.
“Yes, no need to be. I also understand your work. Pregnant women are also often forgetful. I know because my wife used to be that way too, so I understand her,” said Daren who laughed crisply in response to the grace of Graciella's voice heard. “Then how? Antony has been waiting for news from you,” Daren said again.
“Ehm, wait a minute brother,” said Graciella. Not only did he not give Daren an answer, but he also had not discussed with Xavier. Their conversation last night was cut short by their wedding plans. “How?” ask Graciella. As a wife, she had to ask her husband for his consent.
Xavier looked at Graciella for a moment. “If you want to take the case, just take it. I will always support your decision,” Xavier said. Although she would rather Graciella be at home and take care of herself later. But from the beginning Graciella was a woman who was dedicated hard to her work. He also had to study abroad and of course he was very good at his job, which made it impossible for Xavier to forbid him to continue his work after they got married. Xavier doesn't want Graciella to feel constrained by their marriage.
Graciella bit her inner lips. He was still curious about what happened and who had done this to accuse Xavier. After all, now he already had Xavier. She can be a little calm because her husband supports her and will also take care of her.
“Alright, I'll take it,” Graciella said immediately answering Daren's question while looking at Xavier. Xavier heard it nodding in understanding. He also wanted to know who had framed him. Graciella loudspeaker the call so Xavier can hear it too.
“Good if so. This would be a good case for our office. I'll call Antony as soon as possible. About when can you start the investigation?” ask Daren.
“Ehm?” Graciella muttered a glance towards Xavier. Not that they're going on their honeymoon.
“Three more days,” Xavier said directly. Graciella frowned. Three days, where they wanted to go for so long. But Xavier doesn't respond to Graciella's shrunken face. He just grabbed Graciella's phone and immediately spoke to Daren.
“Daren, we just got married. Right now I want to take Graciella on vacation. Tell Antony if he wants Graciella to investigate Robert Kim's case. He has to wait for Graciella three or four days from now,” Xavier said. She knew that Graciella must have been bad at making people wait for three days. Therefore he must explain it clearly about this.
“Owh, wow, are you married? Why not tell me?” daren was shocked. Graciella who was a little upset that Xavier took her phone for granted immediately returned to retrieve her phone from Xavier.
“Not we don't want to invite brother. But this is still a wedding at the wedding registry office. Later when we have a party, brother should come yes,” said Graciella. Feeling bad because he didn't tell Daren at all. However, Graciella thinks this man is her foster sister.
“Oh, so. I guess you guys did want to hide your marriage for a while. But I'll definitely come. What gift do you want to ask of your brother?” ask Daren again.
“The gift is not necessary, the important brother and sister Ruby also Amber came, I was very happy,” replied Graceilla again.
“Alright, then I'll say that to Antony. Take a vacation, don't think too much about work, I won't bother you either. But be careful, do not do it early in pregnancy is very risky. Tell Xavier not to get too excited,” said Daren accompanied by a very crunchy laugh. Of course Xavier can listen to it because the phone is still loudspeaker.
“Calm down, I know very well how to treat Graciella, just pray after this news to be true, brother-in-law,” timpal Xavier.
“Hahaha, fine! I'll wait for the good news. All right, happy holidays. I will turn off this call,” said Daren laughing so loudly at Xavier's words. It's funny to hear a general call him brother-in-law.
“Hmm,” Xavier's response before the call's voice was cut off.
Graciella looked at Xavier's face with her face flushed red. He glanced at their driver who looked focused on the street. He pinched Xavier's soft hand which certainly had no effect whatsoever on Xavier. Xavier only frowned looking at Graciella's eyes which seemed to give a code look towards their driver. Xavier understands Graciella is embarrassed about the conversation.
“No problem, he won't listen to it,” Xavier said as usual. Of course their driver could hear it.
Graciella hit her forehead slowly. He had already secretly given the code, this man even freely said that. Xavier is completely insensitive.
Their car finally arrived at the airport. Xavier immediately got out of the car and opened the door for Graciella. As the two of them stepped in, Arnold immediately greeted them.
“Congratulations for your wedding, Commander and also Mistress. All your needs are ready. We just have to wait about thirty minutes for your departure,”, Arnold said explaining what he prepared for the newly married couple.
“Alright,” Xavier said.
“Thank you Arnold,” Graciella said with a smile. Xavier immediately took Graciella towards the waiting room at the airport. Graciella and Xavier immediately sat there.
“You want to eat something?” xavier asked Graciella who was sitting on one of the sofas there.
“Ehm, no, I'm not hungry yet,” Graciella said immediately.
“Alright, later we can eat on the plane,” Xavier said putting the menu on the table in front of him.
“Ehm? Where do we want to go?” graciella asked Xavier who was getting busy looking at the tablet that Arnold had handed over earlier.
“Ke somewhere,” said Xavier who kept looking at his tablet.
“Yes I know I'm going somewhere. But where to?” asked Graceilla again frowned seeing the seriousness of Xavier frozen his work. Xavier glanced at Graciella.
“You will know later,” said Xavier with one corner of the lip raised.
