Chapter 209 – DON’T FROWN LIKE THAT
Ellena imdiately grabbed the cellphone and walked away from Lucas, then sat on the maroon sofa near the bedroom window.
anwhile, Lucas just stared at him with his mouth slightly open, as if in amazent.
'How can he be so relaxed, after daring to almost lose my mind,' Lucas grumbled to himself.
He then lowered his head, looking back at his heirloom which seed to be getting tighter in there. Once again he failed to complete the desire that he had been trying to suppress for a long ti.
Ellena's smile broke. The happy expression on her face was evident when she saw her brother's na on the cellphone screen. The figure she had missed for a long ti.
In a flash, Ellena put the flat object to her ear, after sliding the green icon on the screen of the phone, as a sign that she received a call from Martin.
"Hello, Martin?" Ellena greeted with such enthusiasm and a happy expression.
"Sister?" Martin's voice sounded a little surprised, when he heard Ellena's voice.
"Where have you been? Why is your number off, huh?" attack Martin imdiately threw a few questions.
"Sorry, Martin. I deliberately turned off the phone because lately soone has been bothering a lot." Ellena answered simply.
"You an?" Martin asked as if he didn't understand what Ellena was saying. "Who dares to bother you?"
"Never mind, it's not important either. That person isn't bothering anymore.
"Why didn't you call using your husband's cell phone?"
"Ah, I think you're very busy. I didn't want to bother you." Ellena replied looking for an excuse. "How are you? I missed you so much, Martin. Did your school go well there?" She asked with slightly teary eyes.
How touched her heart when she could hear again Martin's voice directly. The mont she had been waiting for for a long ti.
"I'm fine, my schooling is also going well. Are you and Mom not worried about so you don't want to contact like that?" Martin said which made Ellena even more sad.
"It's impossible, Martin. I'm very worried about you. So is Mom. Even Mom often cries because she misses you, but I don't want to hear your voice, Martin, because it will only make her sadder," explained Ellena.
"I want to talk to Mom." Martin said quietly.
"You want to talk to Mom, Martin?" Ellena asked again to confirm as she looked at Lucas who was already standing a ter in front of her.
However, Ellena was montarily stunned when she found Lucas who rolled his eyes and shook his head, as if to code her not to accept Martin's request.
"Ma-Martin, I'll call you later. Mom's in the shower right now," said Ellena, a little hesitantly and nervously, without taking her eyes off Lucas' face.
A happy smile appeared on Lucas's face at this mont.
Ellena got up from the sofa, then walked over to Lucas who was still standing in the sa place. He narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing the perfectly sculpted face staring at him with a happy grin.
"Why?" asked Ellena, giving him a questioning look, having stood in front of Lucas and stopped in his tracks.
"Why?" Lucas turned around to ask, as if confused by Ellena's question.
"Why you?" snapped Elena in annoyance.
"? What do you an, why?" Lucas replied still pretending not to understand, even though he already understood where Ellena was talking from the start.
"Why did you stop Martin from talking to Mother?" Ellena grumbled.
Lucas was slightly taken aback, as if at a loss as to what to say.
"Hm … I think he called at the wrong ti, honey," Lucas answered casually.
"What do you an?" Ellena widened her eyes as if she didn't want to heed Lucas' words.
"You can call her later, after our business is done." Lucas replied with an eye, teasing Ellena.
"What do you an …."
Ellena could no longer continue her words when suddenly Lucas grabbed her lips quickly and occasionally gave a soft kiss there, making Ellena seed to be taken flying for a mont without being able to fight back.
"Thank you, Honey." Lucas said as he kissed Ellena's forehead who was now lying beside him with a slightly out of breath.
They spent about an hour struggling in the heat on the bed. Although a little forced, Lucas was finally able to get her rights again as a husband. Although in fact not the first ti, after Ellena returned ho.
"Lucas, I need to get cleaned up and go back to helping Joana."
Lucas' hands quickly held Ellena's body as she was about to get out of bed.
"Aren't you tired, Honey? Wait a minute. You need to rest." Lucas pleaded, unable to bear to see Ellena who almost lost her strength because of her.
"No, Lucas. What ti is it? I have to get dinner ready," Ellena replied forcefully and didn't want to care about what Lucas said.
***
Ellena looked out of the room with plain maroon pajama clothes that wrapped her body. Her face looks fresher with loose hair that looks a little wet. She walked slowly towards the dining room.
From a distance, it looks like Briana and Joana are preparing dinner. Looks like she's late.
"Ah, looks like I'm late. I was just about to prepare dinner, it turns out that Mom and Joana have already finished everything," said Ellena, smiling.
"It's okay, Elle. You've been cooking all day. We're just preparing at the dinner table," Briana replied very gently while smiling her face, while Joana just smiled without comnting.
"Where's your husband? Co on, let's have dinner!" Briana asked as she looked up at Ellena, having finished with her work.
"Lucas just finished taking a shower, maybe he'll be here soon," Ellena answered quietly.
"Good night all!"
Ellena had just finished speaking, suddenly Lucas's baritone voice broke through the room, distracting the three won who were there. Briana and Joana imdiately replied to Lucas' greeting enthusiastically.
anwhile, Ellena pulled out a dining chair and motioned for Lucas to sit there. Now they are ready to have dinner together, except for Joana who prefers to leave the room, knowing who she is in the house.
"Jo!" Lucas called when Joana was only three steps away from the dining table.
"What is it, Sir?" Joana turned around and imdiately bowed, facing Lucas.
"Where are you going?" Lucas asked dryly.
"I-I want to do sothing else, Sir. Is there anything else I can help you with?" Joana answered quietly and a little nervously.
"Eat here!" Lucas said commandingly.
"Wh-you an, Sir?" Joana imdiately put on a nervous expression. How could I not, when suddenly her employer asked her to have dinner at the sa table?
"Is my voice so low that you can't hear it?" Lucas said without looking at Joana.
It suddenly made Joana a little clumsy. However, was it true what he had just heard? It seems very impossible. It's not like Lucas usually invites dinner together like this.
"Didn't you really hear it, Joana?" Lucas asked again and managed to make Joana gasp.
Since Joana's help at that ti, Lucas had begun to change his attitude towards her. He beca a little friendly, not too cold and often talked to Joana. He seed very grateful to have a housekeeper who cared so much for his wife, like Joana. That's why he started to treat Joana like family.
"B-but, Master—"
"Sit down, Jo!" Lucas asked firmly, anwhile Ellena and Briana looked surprised at Lucas' attitude.
Ellena imdiately turned to Joana who still looked confused, then she smiled as if she understood what Lucas ant.
"Co on, Jo, let's have dinner together. Sit down!" Ellena asked quietly as she pushed back the chair next to her, asking Joana to sit beside her.
Joana was silent for a mont as if thinking. "V-alright, sir, miss," he answered doubtfully.
Joana walked slowly, full of doubts. Didn't think that he would have an employer as good as Ellena and Lucas who never looked at soone's caste. It was not wrong because he had been on their side all along.
"Think of us as your family, Jo," said Ellena after Joaan sat down beside her.
"Thank you, Miss. I am very happy to have an employer like you and Mr.," replied Joana, still a little hesitant.
"We are all the sa, it is not appropriate to discriminate against each other," said Briana, who had been watching Joana's face slightly reddened.
"Lucas, how's the pastry shop doing?" asked Ellena in the middle of their dinner. He had wanted to ask this for the past two days, but only now had the ti.
"Store conditions are quite conducive, honey. I hired a pastry chef after you left," Lucas replied with a big smile.
"Tomorrow I will start working again. What do you think?" asked Ellena seeking approval.
"Better not yet," Lucas answered flatly.
"Why?" Ellena was dismayed, even though she really missed going back to work.
"Things are still precarious, honey. You'd better stay at ho, don't go out without !" Lucas said emphatically.
"But …."
Ellena didn't continue when Lucas suddenly widened his eyes right at her. Instantly shrank and imdiately looked down.
"Okay," Ellena whispered, forced to swallow her disappointnt.
"I just don't want anything else to happen to you, honey. Do you understand?" Lucas said while looking at Ellena's sad face, suddenly making the woman look up again.
"Yeah, I know." Elena whispered, frowning.
"Don't frown like that, if you understand," Lucas pleaded flatly.
"Yes," answered Ellena briefly, while Briana just shook her head with a smile.
Lucas flashed a smile.
"You can co with to the office tomorrow, if you feel bored at ho all the ti," Lucas said, which managed to make Ellena round again with so much enthusiasm.
"Is that true?" asked Elena, slightly flabbergasted.
"Yes, of course." Lucas answered confidently, turning his head to the right once.
"But, what can I do there? It must be boring to just stay still Ellena grumbled again, frowning.
"Your job is just to accompany , Honey," Lucas replied with a smile, just like what Joana and Briana are doing now.
