Love Worth Fighting For

Chapter 341

341 Difficult choice

Sainte-Chapelle, Paris, France.

Zwetta , who did not expect to be invited to go to church, immediately fell silent when she saw the beauty of the building that stood firmly in front of her. The church that was built during the reign of King Louis IX, Sainte-Chapelle looks still so amazing to this day.

“Come in.”

Zwetta immediately turned her face towards Christian who was standing on her right.

“Why did you take me to this place?”

Christian smiles. “Does there have to be a special reason to come to church?”

“That’s not what I meant,” Zwetta quickly.

“So what, Zee?” inquired Christian again. “You’re afraid I’ll force you to marry in this church?”

Christian’s unexpected question suddenly made Zwetta’s, forming a big O from being too shocked. Seeing how adorable Zwetta currently making Christian try his best not to laugh, he doesn’t want to put Zwetta. During the past week with Zwetta, Christian began to understand her character, that’s why Christian tried not to start a fight with his adorable girl.

.....

“Come on in,” Christian invites back, wrapping his left hand around Zwetta ‘s body possessively and a little forcefully.

Zwetta , who had no chance to escape, could only surrender when Christian started to walk, dragging her forcibly towards the church which was currently quite busy. The large number of foreign tourist groups who were visiting in groups made the church atmosphere more crowded than usual and that was also the reason Christian did not take his hands off Zwetta’s body, although Zwetta’s chances of disappearing were very small but Christian still did not want to take the risk.

Once inside the church, Zwetta covered her mouth with both hands. She was so amazed to see the beauty of the interior of the church. Zwetta, who did not believe in God since she was sold by her father, looked so fascinated by the beauty of Sainte-Chapelle which had so many extraordinary glasses on the walls.

“This church is one of the finest examples of European gothic architecture to date, so it’s no wonder it looks so extraordinary,” Christian whispers softly. “It’s beautiful, isn’t it?”

Zwetta nodded slowly. “This is great, Christ.”

Christian smiles broadly, his grip on Zwetta’s body getting stronger.

“I’ve never set foot in a church before,” Zwetta said honestly. “Growing up in an environment that is not good for a child’s mental development plus having a drunken and gambler father left me far away and unfamiliar with a place as beautiful as this.” Zwetta’s face immediately turned sad as she spoke.

“Zee...”

“But it’s ok, I’m fine,” Zwetta continued quietly, her hazel eyes staring at Christian without blinking. “Can we just sit down and pray or do we have to register first?”

Zwetta’s innocence is so contrasted with her ferocity when fighting that it makes a concerned smile grow on Christian’s face.

“No such thing, honey. We can just sit down and pray like the others,” Christian replies softly. “Let’s sit down.”

Zwetta nodded excitedly, she looked so happy and impatient. If Christian hadn’t known Zwetta, he would have been fooled by her so normal outward appearance. Zwetta seems like most girls out there, even though she is actually a dangerous person, Robin Jones’s highly trained killing machine and is the target of many criminals and the police who want to make Zwetta a part of them.

After sitting in a chair in the fifth row, Christian then begins to form a cross symbol on his chest with his right hand and begins to close his eyes to pray. Zwetta, who had never been taught such things, then followed the pattern of Christian’s hand movements at random and prayed, Zwetta was sure that God would forgive her stupidity.

Because of the many problems that have come, Christian can’t remember the last time he came to church. Too busy with dizzying world affairs makes Christian forget that he has a God who can solve all his problems.

Christian prays much longer than usual, but still when he opens his eyes, Zwetta still looks solemn in the strains of her prayers. Seeing Zwetta who was closing her eyes so peacefully at this moment made Christian so happy, Zwetta’s beauty and innocence radiate so much.

“Amen.” Christian confirms all the prayers Zwetta said in his heart just as Zwetta opened her eyes again.

“Huh?”

“I believe all the prayers that you ask God to be immediately answered,” Christian said quietly, explaining the purpose of the action he had just done.

“Can it really be like that?”

Christian nods quickly. “Of course you can, the more people who accept our prayers, the sooner our prayers will be answered.”

“Oh yeah? I don’t know such things,” Zwetta said quietly. “Looks like I’m still far behind those little kids, those kids must be way smarter than me.”

“Every smart person must have started with ignorance, Zee. And everyone must also learn, just like you. So don’t be discouraged like that, God will understand.” Christian tried to strengthen Zwetta while squeezing Zwetta’s fingers gently.

Zwetta pursed her lips at Christian’s words, Zwetta now finally realized that she had been left behind a lot.

“Don’t worry about it, let’s go around. Alternately with the other visitors, look at how many people are waiting their turn to sit and pray.” Christian tries to divert the conversation while glancing at the crowd of visitors waiting behind them.

Seeing so many people waiting in line made Zwetta stand up straight away, Zwetta felt guilty if she had to make the parents wait any longer. With a little force, Zwetta invites Christian to leave immediately. Christian, who actually only intended to tease Zwetta, smiled slightly when he saw Zwetta pull him away, even though she never got a formal education but Zwetta still has a soft side that girls of Zwetta’s age rarely have out there.

“Oh finally,” Zwetta let out a long sigh as she made her way out of the church. “This church goer is absolutely amazing, you can barely breathe being inside.”

“Want some ice cream?”

Zwetta frowned. “I’m not a child who is easily seduced by ice cream that...”

“See that, a lot of people are queuing up. Looks like enjoying ice cream on a hot afternoon like this under the tree is quite fun.” Christian points to the long queue in front of the ice cream shop not far from the church.

Zwetta’s eyes followed the movement of Christian’s hand, Zwetta unconsciously swallowed her saliva and it did not escape the attention of Christian who did not turn his face away from Zwetta at all. Seeing Zwetta tempted, Christian finally stepped into the ice cream shop without asking Zwetta. Christian doesn’t want to make Zwetta join the long line with him, so he doesn’t invite the girl along. But Zwetta, who didn’t want to stand alone, then ran a little, following Christian who had almost arrived at the queue for ice cream buyers.

“Whoa....”

“Don’t leave me alone, I don’t want to wait alone like a fool!” Zwetta grumbled in annoyance, her arms wrapped tightly around Christian’s left arm. Her breath hitched a little from running.

Christian, who was surprised because Zwetta suddenly hugged him, was silent for a while before finally smiling faintly, again feeling the pleasant scent of Zwetta’s body making the stinging heat go away. The existence of Zwetta by his side really makes Christian get through it all.

Christian then moved the hat that was attached to his head to Zwetta’s head.

“I’m fine, don’t be like this.” Zwetta tried to resist the hat Christian had just put on her head.

“A woman’s body and face are very important, that’s why there are so many young women out there who are vying for millions of dollars in treatments to be the most beautiful. That’s why you have to take care of your face and body, not to satisfy me but for your own satisfaction. yourself as a woman. And I want you to take care of your body from now on, don’t make the slightest wound on your body. Do you understand?”

Zwetta nodded slowly. “I understand.”

“Good, this is just my smart girl.” Christian tightens his arms around Zwetta’s waist.

Zwetta’s heart was beating so fast, the words Christian had just said bothered her. During one week continuing to have this close physical contact with Christian began to make Zwetta feel comfortable, Zwetta even felt that she felt like she was starting to lose if Christian was not around him.

While waiting for his turn, Christian doesn’t take his hand off Zwetta at all. Likewise with Zwetta, Zwetta still feels at home leaning her head on Christian. Both wearing sunglasses make Christian and Zwetta look so extraordinary, Christian’s handsomeness that makes the young girls melt Zwetta manages to balance well. Having a height that is not much different makes Christian and Zwetta so compatible, they both seem to have been created for each other to complement each other.

“Thank you.” Zwetta accepted the chocolate ice cream that Christian had just given to her with great joy.

“Wait for mine to finish, after that we sit under the tree.”

Zwetta turned to where Christian was pointing. “Okay.”

After Christian’s ice cream has been made, Christian then invites Zwetta to go to a chair under a shady tree. The existence of a tree that is a bit far from the main road makes the chair that can accommodate three adults now unoccupied, actually it is easy for Christian to chase away people who are taking shelter under another tree if he wants. But Christian chose not to do that, he kept himself from being arrogant in front of Zwetta. Christian doesn’t want to provoke Zwetta’s worst side with his arrogant attitude, Christian still enjoys the sweetness of Zwetta’s attitude at this time.

When Zwetta was enjoying her ice cream, suddenly Christian took out a diamond ring with an infinity shape. Christian deliberately chose an infinity ring, he wanted to show how much he loves Zwetta. Still under Elena’s shadow, Christian is now obsessed with having Zwetta in full, especially after what they’ve been doing for the past few days at the hotel.

Zwetta almost spit out the ice cream that was in her mouth if she didn’t cover her mouth with one hand right away.

“Marry me, Zee.”

“What?”

Christian kneels in front of Zwetta after placing the ice cream cup on the chair.

“Please marry me, Zwetta.” Christian repeats his words again, his heart beating really fast at this point. Again asking a girl to marry makes Christian so nervous.

Zwetta narrowed her eyes. “You’re not joking, are you?”

“I’m serious, Zee. I want to marry you, I want to protect you, take care of you,” Christian says confidently.

“What’s your reason for wanting to marry me, Christ?”

“I fell in love with you from the first time I saw you, I really can’t get the image of you out of my head.”

Zwetta pursed her lips. “Is it because my face and Elena Wilson’s resemblance makes you want to make me your wife?”

Christian’s eyes are wide open, looking so shocked. He had not expected to get such a question from Zwetta after their days together.

“If Elena Wilson came back and I was your wife, would you throw me out and go back to her, Christ?”

“Don’t talk nonsense, Zee!” Christian almost screams. “I wouldn’t have done such a stupid thing.”

Zwetta put her ice cream cup beside Christian’s ice cream cup, Zwetta slowly took Christian’s hand and said, “So who will you choose, me or your Elena Wilson?”
