His soul-Chapter 379: The Secret
Gina had been stuck at the dining table with Massimo for almost an hour, Massimo forced her to stay in her place even though the plate on the dinner table had been removed to the pantry by Massimo himself.
"What’s wrong, baby?" asked Massimo softly. "Is there anything bothering you right now?"
"I’m tired, when are you going to let me go back to the room?"
Massimo smiled sweetly. "We haven’t even talked about everything that happened today, honey."
"Talk about what? Nothing good to talk about."
"Oh really? How about we start by discussing why your cell phone is off all day, is there a plausible reason behind your phone turning off, honey?"
"I turned off my phone because I’m too lazy to argue with you."
"Lazy to argue with me? What have I done that we have to argue?"
Gine rolled her eyes, embarrassed. Talking to people who feel like they’ve done nothing wrong really requires a lot of patience.
"You’re asking something that you already know the answer to, Massimo. No matter how patient people are, they will be annoyed if they get a question like that," Gina grunted in annoyance, Gina’s limit of patience apparently couldn’t withstand Massimo’s attacks anymore.
Massimo chuckled. "I like it when you’re angry like this, you look even more beautiful."
"Focus, Massimo! Didn’t you want to talk about this?"
"Not really, what I want to do is talk to you like a couple out there," answered Massimo amused.
"Like a couple out there? Oh come on Massimo, what you have done for me is not like the couples out there. You have locked me in the house, made me a prisoner and managed my life as you want. Like doing home treatments that I really don’t need, for example, " said Gina curtly, her voice rising as Massimo likens their current life to that of any other couple out there. "And don’t use the excuse we’ve been apart for five years to justify your actions, Massimo. I’m tired of hearing that!"
Massimo was silent for a moment, his gentle gaze slightly changed. His hands that were united on the table also seemed to strengthen, showing his anger. "I didn’t lock you up, I just made you a good wife," he said quietly defensively.
"Being a good wife? Tsk, what kind of excuse is that? There’s no justification whatsoever for what you’ve done, Massimo. First you forbade me to go back to my family’s house, meet my biological father, second you’ve made my godfather’s family move from New York to somewhere else I don’t know all of a sudden and third you forbid me to work. What’s all that stuff called, Massimo? You want to make me an anti-social being, don’t you?"
"James or Lauren?"
"Eh?"
"Who told you that Patrick Davidson’s family moved out of New York from those two, the cop kid or the boy who had feelings for you?"
Gina’s eyes were wide open, looking very surprised to hear Massimo’s last words about James.
Massimo pursed his lips. "Why so surprised, honey? It’s very easy for me to find information about that young man named James, so don’t be surprised."
Gina swallowed her saliva quickly. "You didn’t do anything bad to James, did you? He didn’t have a father, Massimo. His two younger siblings are still in school, James is the breadwinner of the family."
"Wow what does this mean? My wife begged for something for another man? Really?"
Realizing the hidden meaning behind Massimo’s words, Gina immediately got up from the chair she was sitting in and rushed over to Massimo, without hesitation Gina landed her buttocks on one of Massimo’s muscular thighs.
"James is my friend, I never had anything for him. James helped me and Lauren a lot, that’s why we looked close. Close here means because we often do assignments together both on campus and at Lauren’s house," said Gina quietly trying to extinguish the fire that had already started. burning inside Massimo’s chest, the one thing that hasn’t changed about Massimo is his above-average jealousy.
"Why at Lauren’s house?"
"Because Uncle looks angry if I bring male friends over, so Lauren’s house is where we study together besides the library and garden," Gina explained again.
Massimo nodded slowly, while his right hand had slipped into the nightgown that Gina was wearing. Alternately groping Gina’s thighs, Massimo felt that now Gina’s skin felt much softer than before. Looks like the idea of doing home treatment is a good thing, Massimo also promised himself to continue doing the treatment for Gina in the future.
"Was Patrick Davidson forbidding you from getting close to a young man in New York?"
Gina shook her head. "Uncle never discussed that, neither did Aunty. What Uncle discussed was the problem of my college and what plans I would take after graduation."
"Good, it looks like that guy is taking really good care of you."
"Uncle, can you call him with a polite name? Uncle Patrick is my godfather, a good friend of my father and mother," Gina snorted in annoyance, hearing Massimo mention his godfather by calling his name directly displeased Gina.
"Decades ago, when you were three years old your godfather probably performed one of the major surgeries," Massimo said. His voice was firm and serious. "A major operation involving your mother."
Gina’s face darkened when she heard Massimo’s words.
"Your mother, that kind woman, besides letting her husband marry another woman, also gave up one kidney for her husband’s best friend, who at that time almost died from his illness," added Massimo again.
"W-what do you mean, Massimo?"
"So the point is, what Patrick Davidson and his Asian wife did is to repay the kindness your mother gave them back then. So you don’t have to feel indebted to them or grieve about their move from New York, that’s the first. The second problem is James, you don’t have to worry about it either, James is not my opponent. He’s just a dust that I can easily get rid of, I don’t touch him or bother him at all. And lastly, I don’t let you work because I don’t want any assholes with testosterone who fantasize wildly because of seeing your beauty. I can’t help but let other men imagine the beauty of your body, honey. That’s why I forbid you to work. Besides that, my money is very much and will not run out until seven generations of our descendants will come. Until here you understand, right? And I almost missed it. We are going to visit the house of your family if I’m not busy with office problems. After all, for a married girl, her parents’ house is a foreign house for her. So you could not have been arbitrarily without a husband."
Gina Blinked his eyes to hear all the words that had just Massimo say, brain Gina still can not accept the explanation Massimo about operations performed by her mother and father baptized many years ago.
"I’m not dreaming, am I?"
