Love Worth Fighting For

“Let’s eat, why is no one touching this food? Is this food still lacking?” Christian asks again as he fiddles with a large piece of grilled salmon topped with white caviar which is fantastically priced.

“No young master, this is really enough for us,” Bianca answered quickly.

Christian wipes his lips with a handkerchief. “Then eat, what are you guys waiting for?”

Elena who managed to read such an awkward situation suddenly got up from her seat and grabbed Christian’s hand and led him away from the dining table.

“You seem impatient, don’t you?”

Elena immediately stopped in her tracks and turned to Christian with an aura of great hostility. “What do you really want, Christ? Haven’t you made me sick enough, that this morning you’ve made this mess again, huh!”

Christian crossed his arms. “I made a mess, what mess have I made?”

“This, what is all this if not chaos?!” Elena’s arms stretched out, pointing at the baking pan, which was still cold because it had not been used for three days.

.....

“What? I do not understand.”

Elena took a deep breath. “You forbade Bianca and her husband to work, and then casually ordered a lot of food for us. Expensive food which of course we won’t be able to enjoy every day, what exactly do you want? Does making me sick still not satisfy you? What else do you really want?”

“Baby ...”

“Elena! Call me by that name,” said Elena curtly.

Christian purses his lips. “Ok, I will explain the reason why I am like this. The first reason I forbade your parents’ two workers to work today is for your father’s health, even though your father is recovering but he still needs a few more days to start his usual activities. Even though your mother and the two of your workers are able to do all the work in the kitchen today, but I’m 1000% sure if your father will definitely help them. As a former pastry chef in a five-star hotel, of course he will not just watch his wife and workers work while he has to sit quietly. do nothing. And the second reason why I ordered this meal is to maintain the health of my father-in-law and my future wife who are sick, I have to make sure they both get well soon by enjoying food that maintains nutritional content and taste. Then what am I doing wrong ? If it’s wrong, tell me where?”

Elena is dying of lice, what Christian says is true. His father was the stubborn type, he would definitely return to work if the pastry shop opened again today.

Christian grins broadly, looking satisfied that he’s won.

“Why silence? Everything I said was true, wasn’t it?”

Elena stomped one foot on the floor hard. “I hate you.”

“Your welcome, I’m happy to accept it, mi amor.”

Elena immediately shakes her head, talking to Christian any longer is really going to make her sick again. The man was completely unspeakable.

Feeling that there is no more problem to discuss, Christian then rushes away from Elena and sits back at the dining table, joining the host who has not touched his food at all.

“Let’s eat, you need a lot of healthy food so that your health quickly returns, Mr. Wilson,” Christian said softly as he placed a large piece of salmon on Jody Wilson’s plate who had not said anything for a long time. “For Elena’s sake you should get well soon, sir.”

Mr. Wilson smiles when Christian mentions Elena’s name. “Thank you young master.”

“No, you shouldn’t call me that. I’m Elena’s future husband, your daughter. So you should...”

“Ex-boyfriend!” Elena who walked towards the dining table immediately cut Christian’s words curtly. “You certainly didn’t forget that we broke up, did you?”

“Break?” Mrs Camila immediately responded to Elena’s words quickly.

Elena nodded. “Yeah, we broke up.”

“Break?” One of Christian’s eyebrows rises. “When? Didn’t we already make plans for an engagement party, huh?”

“Engagement Party.” Everyone sitting at the dining table simultaneously repeats Christian’s words.

Christian nods slowly. “Yeah, my parents have even rearranged their schedule for this engagement event.”

“Mr. Jackson Knight Clarke and Mrs. Marianne Clarke are coming to Luxembourg?” Bianca asked quietly without realizing it.

“You know my father’s name?”

Bianca nodded. “Of course you know, there is no Luxembourgish person who doesn’t know the great names of your parents, young master.”

Christian purses his lips, forgetting that his father has a pretty big name in Luxembourg. In Luxembourg Jack is known by the name David Clarke gave to Alan, but in Geneva Jack will be better known by the name his parents gave him.

“Elena didn’t say anything about this,” Mrs Camila said quietly.

Christian smiles, he slowly squeezes her hand gently. “Actually, Elena wanted to tell you this after we came back from Geneva. But the unexpected happened and finally Elena fell ill, so I have to talk to you and Mr. Wilson about this.”

“You seriously want to marry our daughter, young master?” Jody Wilson asked again seriously.

“So seriously, I love Elena.”

“But your relationship has only been going on for three months...”

“Indeed,” Christian replies quickly, as fast as his movement pulls Elena to sit on his lap. “But I already believe in Elena, I really really love Elena and most importantly my parents have blessed us. So it doesn’t feel like a problem, right? After all, Elena and I have... ouuchh...”

??Christian’s words were stopped by Elena who immediately pinched him, Elena, who is worried that Christian will reveal their secret to her parents, chooses to stop Christian.

“What are you doing, young master?” Bianca asks confused when she hears Christian suddenly scream.

Christian smiles. “It’s okay, I accidentally bit my tongue earlier.”

“Oh my God, is your tongue okay now, sir?” Bianca asked again innocently.

“It’s all right, madam. I was just being too excited to talk,” Christian replies back with a smile, his right hand stroking Elena’s calf in a seductive motion.

Elena, who is angry with Christian, chooses to let whatever Christian wants to do at this time, she doesn’t want to make Christian go crazy again. What Christian almost said earlier still shocked Elena so much right now.

As Christian speaks, everyone’s attention is completely on him. Christian really has the ability to communicate well, because she feels bad for her parents, Elena tries to get off Christian’s lap. But Christian, who doesn’t want to let go of Elena, keeps her calm on his lap, Christian still misses Elena so much. Two days without feeling the warmth of Elena’s body drives Christian almost crazy. Elena really was like an addiction to him.

“And this weekend my parents are coming to Luxembourg to meet with you two to discuss the wedding plans to take place two weeks after the engagement party.”

“What? We’re getting married after two weeks of being engaged?” Elena who had been silent for so long finally spoke. “Are you serious?”

“Dear.” Christian brings Elena’s hand to his lips. “I’m always serious when it comes to dealing with you, haven’t I said this before, have I?”

“Yes but ....”
