Love Worth Fighting For

Chapter 103

103 Old wound

Elena shakes her head a few times as Christian tells her about a big fight with his father three years ago, an argument that eventually made him hate Asher even more.

“Aren’t you very close to your parents, huh?” Elena tries to deny Christian’s words again.

Christian smiles. “Come here, have a look for yourself on my left forehead.”

“Why should I look at his forehead, Christ?” Even though he’s currently alone in the room with Christian, Elena is still nervous.

“Before we head back to Luxembourg I want you to know everything, so hurry up and see for yourself. We don’t have much time, Kainer and the others are already waiting for us in the lobby.”

Elena swallowed, slightly nervously Elena got up from the sofa and walked over to Christian who was sitting on the bed. Even though she had made physical contact with Christian several times, this was the first time Elena felt so nervous.

Christian nods his head when Elena is in front of him, Christian again gives permission to Elena to see the wound he has been trying to cover with his hair that is always combed to the left.

“W...what’s this wound, Christ?” asked Elena, stammering when she saw the rather large stitches across Christian’s forehead when he parted his hair.

Christian smiles. “A gift from Daddy three years ago.”

.....

“What?! You’re joking, right?” Elena who was so shocked immediately covered her mouth with both hands.

Seeing how shocked Elena was that made Christian laugh, because he didn’t feel very comfortable in Geneva, Christian slowly got up from the bed and grabbed Elena who had moved away from him after she heard who gave such a big wound on his forehead.

“I never joke about anything and neither do you. I really mean it, Elena. That’s what I said in front of my parents tonight, so don’t ever doubt me again. And regarding this scar, I I just wanted to tell you the truth without wanting to ask for your mercy. I’m not that weak, even though I’ve been ignored for years by my biological father who defends his adopted son more than I, his own son, I can still stand up straight on my feet and carry Clarke Enterprise to a higher level than before,” Christian said quietly as he managed to get Elena into his arms.

“Does it hurt?” asks Elena hoarsely, still in awe of the stitches on Christian’s long head.

“What?”

“The wound that was on your head at that time, did it hurt?” repeated Elena stuttering.

Christian lands a kiss on Elena’s lips gently. “Let’s not talk about it anymore, it’s all over. I just wanted to show you a little secret between me and my Daddy.”

Elena immediately gripped Christian’s shirt collar tightly. “I don’t want to go home until you answer my question.”

“The pain in my bloody head at that time was no more painful than the pain here,” Christian says quietly as he brings Elena’s hand to his heart. “The pain in here is much worse than that wound, Elena.”

Unexpectedly Elena immediately hugged Christian tightly and Christian was a little surprised because Elena wanted to hug him so tightly without being ordered to.

“It’s ok, Elena. I’m fine now.” Christian spoke again.

Elena nodded slowly. “Sorry, Christ. I’m sorry, I really didn’t mean to make you remember that incident again. I’m sorry.”

Christian chuckles. “I know honey, okay let’s go home. This place is so foreign to me.”

Elena nods excitedly, she immediately releases her arms from Christian’s body. Her puffy eyes stared sadly at Christian, Elena felt sorry for Christian. As it turned out, the man who was so cold had a hurting secret that he had kept to himself for years.

“I’m fine Now, don’t be sad like this. I don’t like seeing you cry. You look ugly,” Christian said quietly trying to be funny.

“What!!”

“Hehe...sorry baby, I’m sorry,” Christian said quickly. “We’re leaving now.”

Elena nodded slowly, her will to keep Christian in Geneva vanished. At first Elena wanted to make Christian want to lower his ego a little and return to his parents’ house to have a good talk, but after seeing and hearing for herself how Cristian was so disappointed and hurt because his father made Elena not dare to do that. The wound inside Christian is bigger than she can see.

As soon as Christian and Elena came out of the room, Kainer immediately greeted the two. After that the three of them immediately walked to the elevator for the three airports because the plane that would take them back to Luxembourg was ready. While on the way to the airport, Elena doesn’t let go of Christian’s grip. Hearing Christian get such injustice from his biological father makes Elena feel sad, as a child who is overflowing with extraordinary love by her parents who live in simplicity makes Elena feel concerned about what is happening to her current lover. It turns out that what she has seen is not the reality, the laughter that easily emerges from Christian’s face turns out to be just to cover the pain that afflicts him.

Without changing clothes first, Elena and Christian got into a black jet that had a large C logo on the front of its body carefully. Elena’s party dress which has a long tail is the only reason why Christian is so patient walking behind Elena who is climbing the stairs, he has to make sure that the tail of the dress does not step on or disturb Elena who is trying to get into the plane.

“After arriving in Luxembourg I’ll take you straight home,” Christian says quietly as he helps Elena put her seatbelt on.

Elena furrowed her brows, she felt strange about Christian’s words. As someone who knows very well how perverted Christian is, Elena feels confused when Christian says he wants to take her home.

And Christian who understands what Elena is thinking right now smiles. “There are some things I need to settle with Kainer tonight first, which is why I have to drive you home.”

“Office business?”

“No, other business.”

“I am coming along!” cried Elena spontaneously, gripping Christian’s hand tightly, preventing the man from moving away from her.

“You need rest, Elena. That’s why you have to go home, I don’t want to see you sick because in the future there are so many things you have to do for me.”

“But Christ...”

“Shhh... I’m ok, don’t worry. I’m really ok.”
