110 Christian’s invitation

Even though she had heard all the stories from the three closest people to Christian in person, Elena was still not satisfied, her curiosity was still exploding inside her. Seeing the scar on Christian’s head makes Elena sure that there is one big reason that makes Jackson Clarke have the heart to do that to his own biological child. While still searching for answers to the questions that kept popping up in her head, Elena was suddenly surprised by the presence of two large hands hugging her stomach from behind.

“Why was I left to sleep alone?” Christian asks in a half-whisper from the back of Elena’s neck.

Elena smiled. “Because I didn’t want to bother you, that’s why I left.”

“Why don’t you go to sleep?”

“Because I’m not sleepy, Christ.”

Christian, who is not satisfied with Elena’s answer, then resumes his new habit, sniffing Elena’s body without shame. Elena, who feels uncomfortable, tries to get away from Christian, but because her body strength is not comparable to Christian’s, Elena’s efforts are unsuccessful. Elena remains in Christian’s arms who are behind her until finally Christian suddenly lifts his head, away from the open back of Elena’s neck.

“I smell the nicotine in your hair,” Christian says coldly.

Elena immediately straightened herself. “Nicotine? I don’t smoke, Christ!”

Christian, who is sure that he smells nicotine from Elena’s body, then releases his arms from Elena and rushes to sit next to Elena. “Who accused you of smoking, Elena?”

.....

“You...”

“I’m just saying that I smell nicotine from your hair, not accusing you of smoking. Those two sentences are very different, aren’t they?”

Elena who is ready to protest against Christian in self-defense finally shuts up, even though Christian just woke up but to win an argument with him is impossible.

“Who just arrived?” Christian asks suddenly, even though all the rooms in his house use sophisticated air filters but for someone as detailed as Christian he can immediately tell something is different.

“Hmm?”

“Kainer doesn’t smoke like I do, so the nicotine that’s left on you must be someone else’s,” Christian says quietly as he continues to think, Christian racking his brains trying to figure out who dared to come into his house with such a strong smell of cigarettes.

“Christ...”

“Ronin! Did Kainer come with Ronin? Did you meet him? There was a need for that jerk to come to this house? You weren’t seduced by him, were you?”

Elena purses her lips, trying to hide her surprise when Christian manages to guess who it was that came earlier.

“Elena answer!”

Instead of answering Christian’s question, Elena leaned back on the sofa giving Christian her best smile who was demanding an honest answer from her.

“Yeah, Kainer and Ronin came while you were sleeping an hour ago. The two of them didn’t last long either, after chatting with me for a while they went straight home.”

Christian raises one eyebrow. “Is that true?”

“You can ask everyone in this house if you don’t believe it, after all they came because they wanted to meet you, not me. And it’s impossible if they will linger in this place when they know the owner of the house is sleeping,” replied Elena with calm, Elena tried not to mention anything about their previous conversation. Before leaving, Kainer and Ronin had already told Elena not to say anything to Christian.

“OK, I trust you.”

“Of course, because I’m telling the truth!” said Elena quickly.

Christian’s lips curl into a wide smile. “I’m glad you’re still in the house, it’s nice to see you here when I open my eyes. Stay with me, Elena.”

“Christ...”

“Don’t worry, neither of my parents will dare to oppose my choice and you are my last choice, Elena.” Christian’s blue eyes stare deeply at Elena who is sitting opposite him.

“I have two parents who are not young anymore, Christ. I can’t bear to let them live alone, I...”

“Take them to live with us.” Christian cuts Elena off guiltily. “This house is going to get busier.”

Elena clenched her fists, trying not to get angry. Christian’s way of thinking is sometimes like that of a ten year old.

“If you want, tonight I will immediately talk to your parents so they want to live with us here,” added Christian again excitedly.

“Christ, listen! I’m not done talking yet,” Elena screams loudly, finally running out of patience with Christian who wants to take it for granted. “You can’t just say things like that, our relationship is still too early to be able to live under the same roof. Moreover, to invite my parents. Where will the faces of my parents be placed if someone says they live in the house of their child’s lover? ”

“I’ll rip the mouth of anyone who says that.”

“That’s not the concept, Christ,” Elena sighed in frustration. “Both of my parents are people who come from the lower class with a simple mindset, they will definitely immediately refuse your invitation to live together in a house this big. Apart from us who don’t have any ties yet, my parents will definitely not want to become a burden to anyone. And just so you know, even though I’ve been working they still don’t want to stop working. They say they want to keep working while they still have energy, you can imagine yourself, can’t you?”

“Ohhh so that’s the problem..”

“Oh what?”

“If your parents don’t want to live with us because we don’t have a relationship yet, then we can just get married then.”

“Christ!!!!”

“What else dear? Isn’t that the best way out, huh?”

Elena immediately massaged her head which suddenly hurt, talking to Christian really made her stock of patience run out without a trace. Hearing Christian talk about marriage so easily makes Elena even more afraid to continue her relationship with Christian.

Jorge, who had been standing not far from where Elena and Christian were talking, couldn’t help but smile when he heard Christian speak. As long as Christian is in a relationship with another woman, this is the first time Christian mentions marriage. Even though it doesn’t sound serious, this is a rapid progress considering that Christian is always angry and immediately breaks up with his former women if they start teasing about marriage. But this time, with Elena he’s only known for a few weeks, a Christian has repeatedly asked Elena to stay with him despite always being refused. Even though out there, there will be lots of women who immediately say ‘Yes’ as soon as Christian asks him to live with him.
