The Love Trap of the Ruler.
Chapter 202. Are you mad for taking you because of him?
“Commander, sorry,” said Arnold who immediately walked towards Xavier and Graciella who had just wanted to head towards their restaurant for lunch. Xavier and Graciella frowned at Arnold's face.
“What's up?” xavier asked in a slightly firm tone. He used to use it when talking to his subordinates. Graciella glanced towards her husband's flat face.
“Commander, sorry. But there seems to be a problem with the restaurant reservation. They say that your restaurant reservation is for tomorrow,” Arnold said. He looks guilty face. But since he was a soldier he could not lower his face.
Hearing that certainly immediately made Xavier's face harder. Graciella knew this man would not be able to tolerate this problem. He would definitely be angry at Arnold for being so lethargic for a matter like this.
“How ...” Xavier's tone began to rise when Graciella pulled the hand of her husband which made Xavier look directly at his wife and also undo his intention to scold Arnold who seemed ready to be scolded by Xavier.
Graciella shook her head towards Xavier. Xavier immediately frowned looking at Graciella.
“It's okay, Arnold you can come back,” Graciella said.
Arnold looked straight at Xavier. Of course, even if Graciella had said that, she had to follow Xavier's words. Xavier doesn't know what Graciella wants. But she just followed what Graciella wanted.
“Go,” said Xavier.
“Each Commander,” said Arnold who immediately left the newlyweds.
Xavier looked directly at Graciella who had been looking at Xavier with a very shady smile. Xavier frowned. Throw with that calm look.
“Then how? where will we eat?” ask Xavier.
“No need to be angry, we can find another place to eat. I saw a lot of interesting food. We can also walk through the center of the village. It looks like it will be interesting, we can date today,” said Graciella felt it would be very fun to walk through the village that looks very beautiful during the day. The sun gave off all the sights they could not see at night.
“Alright then,” said Xavier who follows what his wife wants.
They walked back to the streets that were made of stones. Entering the city center that looks quite crowded but not too crowded. Graciella seemed to enjoy their trip that felt very warm even though the night sea breeze felt quite strong against the cliff, infiltrating among traditional Italian houses.
“You eat there?” tanya Xavier looks at a typical Italian restaurant with a small rustic style but looks so comfortable. Located in a small alley that is quite quiet.
“Ya,” said Graciella instantly fell in love with the place. They immediately sat on one of the seats in the courtyard of the small restaurant. A waiter with an apron of his brown wana immediately came to them. Graciella immediately looked at the menu that was there.
“I order Caponata,” said Xavier who directly ordered Italian specialties made from celery, caper, olive oil, tomato sauce and also famous seafood there.
“I order Fettuccini Alfredo only,” said Graciella handed over the menu.
“Alright, give us wine,” Xavier said again.
“Good, Please look forward to Mr and Madam,” the waiter said with a friendly smile. Graciella replied to him but Xavier just nodded slowly. His smile is very expensive for others.
Graciella was again stunned by the warm atmosphere there. A lot of people pass by. There were also many things he could see. The colors of the building that is deliberately painted so also add to the view. The sound of the roar of the sea he could still hear faintly added to the atmosphere there.
“This place is so beautiful,” said Graciella inexhaustible find things that can make it landless.
“Ya, right.”
Graciella then sees Xavier's face. Looking at Xavier who seemed to pay attention and analyze the situation around them. His eyes that were usually like an eagle at this moment seemed to soften a little. Enjoying the surroundings looks a little more relaxed than usual.
“Ehm, I'm so curious about someone who told you about this place, who is he?” ask Graciella. This was unthinkable to him all the time, only that he remembered the words from Xavier when they had just arrived here.
Xavier who had been looking up a little because he saw the decorations on the restaurant building. Directly gazing towards Graciella when she heard Graciella's question. Seeing the change from Xavier's slightly face showed shock and also remembered how Xavier's unwillingness answered his question yesterday afternoon. Graciella's a little curious. Who was that someone who made Xavier want to bring a special person here? Is that someone who is special?
Graciella bit her lip, the atmosphere became awkward because of what she had already asked. At this point, Graciella was conscious. He doesn't know Xavier very well. Not the nature or personality of this man, but about how this man lived before.
“No need to answer if you feel uncomfortable,” said Graciella. He also felt that Xavier could accept it for what it was without asking the slightest question about his previous life. Why Graciella should have a problem with Xavier's past life. Now and in the future, they are the ones who live it together.
Xavier looked at Graciella who was already smiling. That smile even made Xavier a little worried. Xavier never said anything about his old life. Graciella asked this time.
“Wine You,” said the waiter who directly poured Cirque Terre Costa de Campu into the glass in front of Graciella and also Xavier. Xavier looked towards Graciella who gave her smile back to the waiter who had finished pouring the wine. Graciella then looked towards Xavier who was still staring at her silently. Graciella frowned.
“What's up?” ask Graciella to take the wine.
“I once liked a woman before I liked you,” Xavier said suddenly. He felt bad to cover this up from Graciella. Actually she hesitated to say that, she did not know whether Graciella wanted to hear it or not. But he felt it was impossible to cover it up. “He who said that this place is very beautiful and I have to go here someday along with a special person,” Xavier said.
Graciella bit her inner lips. Feeling completely wrong has been trying to ask her now. Even though he knows it's Xavier's past, it's still uncomfortable. Graciella drank the wine.
Graciella then put down the glass and hoped the waiter would come again until this conversation would be switched. Uh! Women always like to ask things they shouldn't ask.
“Are you angry that I brought you here because of him?” xavier asked again feeling a change from Graciella's attitude.
