The Love Trap of the Ruler.
Chapter 71.
“Aaaa!!” moira's voice rang out cheerfully while running around in the central room. He was imagining flying using a scarf tied around his neck. He stretched and ran round. It looks so cute.
Graciella notices her son from the kitchen of the house who can easily monitor the movements of Moira. Graciella is making milk for little Moira. As he stirred the milk suddenly the glint of Xavier's face that was staring at him gloomily appeared. Graciella bit her lip and immediately returned to look at Moira in order to divert her mind. Fortunately there was Moira, otherwise, perhaps she would continue to think about it.
A moment later, the sound of the door closing. Graciella wasn't too curious. Maybe it was Aunt Lim or Adrean who had just arrived. He didn't stay in this house.
“Aaa!!” moira shouted even louder as she also grew faster running. The louder the child's voice, the more the smile of Graciella rises.
“Moira! can be silent no?!”
Graciella was shocked to hear Adrean's voice sounding quite high and loud. Graciella frowned seeing from afar what Adrean was doing. Maybe he doesn't know that Graciella is there now because from Adrean's side, he can't see Graciella.
Graciella bit her lips to see her daughter who had been carefree stop for a moment. He immediately lowered his head as if scared of Adrean standing in front of him. Graciella's heart immediately hurt as if sliced to pay attention to her son's gurgle. What did Adrean do? is this how he treated his son?
“Papa doesn't like Moira noisy.” Adrean looked intently at Moira who was only trying to look at him but kept her head down. Putting on a face hoping to be forgiven.
Why that? didn't Aunt Lim say, Adrean never got mad at Moira? But why now it doesn't feel right. If Adrean had never scolded Moira, her little girl would not have been as frightened as that. Yep! Aunt Lim had someone paid for by Adrean, however she would definitely say a good thing about her Master. Graciella held her chest. It hurts more than when Adrean snapped it. Looking at his flesh blood could only be bowed making him cramped.
“Where's mama?” adrean asked again, this time his voice was a little more soft.
Fearfully Moira shook her head weakly. Graciella just covered her mouth and immediately docked to the wall. He wants to see what really happened. Did Adrean just show his kindness in front of Graciella? He only saw Adrean looking at his son's cynicism. Graciella knew it was impossible for this demon to have a human side. Once the devil in anyone will be the devil. He can't let Adrean treat his son like that!
“Aibi Lim!” yell Adrean immediately.
“Ya, Sir?” Aunt Lim immediately came upon hearing Adrean's voice.
“Where is Madam?” tanya Adrean stared with his unfriendly face at Aunt Lim.
“I'm here. I just got out of the back bathroom. What's up?” ask Graciella. Inevitably he gets out of there than this man will be excited looking for him.
Adrean squinted a little at Graciella's reddened face. What's wrong with this woman? “Prepare, we'll have a night together.”
“No!” graciella replied quickly. Adrean immediately frowned. How dare Graciella refused, even though she had been kind to him and his son. “Aunt Lim, can take Moira to shower?” pinta Graciella's. She didn't want her son to see and hear what they were going to talk about, Graciella was sure the result would be a quarrel.
“Well, Miss Moira, let's take a bath with Grandma Lim," said Aunt Lim herding the little Moira who was staring straight at her mother. That innocent look made Graciella's heart become even more sick.
"I don't like the way you treat Moira." Graciella just spoke to Adrean. Adrean narrowed his eyes. So Graciella saw what she did to Moira?
"I just want him to understand" said Adrean looking relaxed as if it was normal.
"But that's not the way and he's still two years old! have you always treated her like that?"
"Wouldn't he be a submissive child now?"
Graciella bit her lips furiously. Graciella knew she couldn't talk about this to Adraen. He had to keep Moira away from Adrean. “Your condition is that I should not be close to Xavier right? I'm gonna do it. But that doesn't mean I can be close to you. From now on I just want to be alone with Moira!" Whatever it is, want it to be a war or not. The important thing is that he wants to express what he thinks.
Adrean tilted his head looking at Graciella's face. He also scrunched his forehead. Couldn't catch what Graciella said, “What do you mean?”
“Me and you, we can't be together anymore. How well you're good to me. My feelings for you are long dead. Of course you already know why I came back here just because of Moira. If there wasn't him I'd never come back anywhere near you."
“So you want to say that now all you have in your heart is Xavier? So?” asked Adrean with a face of disbelief. How dare Graciella say that directly to Adrean.
“I'm not an easy woman to have feelings with a man, but if I've allowed someone to get into it, I'll take great care of it. Likewise, when I have no taste, I will no longer be able to like it. I've been trying to make you aware of my whereabouts and my feelings. Two years of effort and futility. Do you think I'd be so easy to accept a man after all the things you've done?” said Graciella firmly staring at Adrean.
Adrean played his lips staring at Graciella's gloomy looking bead. He didn't like that look, as if it was in so much pain. Why did he suddenly not like that? that was what he was looking for and this woman did not show it as much as she could. At the moment Adrean did nothing to her but this woman instead showed her real pain. Wh why?
“Then what do you want?” adrean asked to throw his gaze out of Graciella's eyes.
“I want you not to disturb my life and Moira's. I will follow your wishes, I will never deal again with Xavier or any man. If we need to make a deal, I'll be alone without a man until I die. As long as you don't bother me and Moira. You can watch me. If I break it. You can do anything to me,” Graciella said.
Adrean frowned deeper. Of course he doesn't want to do that. She ... she .. suddenly just really wanted to be around this woman. But of course he can't say that to Graciella.
“Can I still come here?” ask Adrean. Graciella's heart almost stopped hearing Adrean's mouth. He thought that this man would be angry with him as he always was. But who would have thought he was asking this.
“Let's make a deal. We will only meet twice a month in the park near the house. How?” ask Graciella. He was surprised but felt he had a bit of hope.
Adrean narrowed his eyes for a moment. This woman really doesn't want to see him again? he really wanted to part with her? though he was the one who always called and also waited for news where Adrean was.
“No, I changed my mind ...”
