23 My Fortress (1/2)
He stroked his chin, ”Hmmm… good question, dearie. One thing that you have to attain is the Diamond of the heart. It is not literally a diamond; there is an underlying meaning of it, ”
Evelina strode towards Alexi and stood in front of him, ”So, it is somehow like a riddle?” she was concerned for the part. She was slightly good in her academics. To be precise, she was not into the field of math and science on the other hand, she was engrossed in the liberal arts specifically literature.
He nodded in agreement, ”Yes, you can say so. It is kind of complicated as what you have expected,”
Alexander tightly wrapped her waist, supporting her, ”Evelina, we are all here by your side. Don't fret and agonize. It is not good for your health, ” he smiled and gave her a gentle kiss on her forehead.
Her eyes glowed in blissfulness. She tiptoed and cupped his face, giving him a long kiss. After a few moments, the kiss ended with the two of them out of breath.
”Oh, I just can't help falling in love with you,” she spoke softly as she was still panting, leaning her face on his chest.
”I love you, Evelina,” he whispered, soothing her frame of mind.
She giggled, ”With your smooth conversation, coquettish clothing, and sophisticated glances, it was obvious that you are a natural Casanova, dear,” she pinched his cheeks hard that left him some red marks.
He groaned, ”That hurt a lot, dear. You dirtied my face. How am I going to face other people with these rosy cheeks of mine?”
Alexi sneered, ”Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!! Surely, you are great at jesting your husband, dearie… hahahahaha!!!” he was laughing so hard that until he sensed a pain on his abdomen. He paused, catching his breath before he resumed, ”Are you still going to address her 'dear'?”
His eyes instantly turned callous, glaring at him that was like a knife stabbing at him directly.
”Alexander would never dare to do that to me. He would never tarnish our love! Right, my dear sweet lovely husband, Alexander?” she amiably spoke to him, uplifting him from his dire reaction.
She chuckled, ”Don't mind him, Alexander. You already marked me as your territory and no one can ever invade it hahaha!!”
With Evelina's declaration, it affected him largely, making him speechless. Alexander gave him a smug smile. He felt extremely relieved of her claim. 'Do you hear that, Alexi?'
Seeing his Evelina bravely defending him and their love was alluring him more.
Alexander sneered, ”I take that as a compliment. My Evelina, you can pinch me or mark me wherever you want. Even if it hurts, I'll just bear it because I love you most,” he softly stroked her exquisite and lovely fair porcelain skin that was like the moon
All Alexi wanted to do at the moment was to vomit and shriek privately. He could not tolerate the dog food that they were putting on him. He only wished that he could leave these two alone but he couldn't, considering that there were still more plans and actions he wanted to convey.
As Alexi was pondering, he suddenly reminded the two of them as his relationship with his late lover. 'I miss the days where we used to be stupid and lovey-dovey all the time. Where are you, my love? Are you really dead?'
While Alexi was in the middle of recollecting the time of his loved one and him, he could not decipher that the couple, Evelina and Alexander, have been looking at him, sensing his sudden sadness and gloomy emotion.
