"Why do you look so surprised?" Xavier asked his brother. "That foolish woman would do anything for you. She would even endanger herself to fulfill your request."
His voice was laced with bitterness. However, Elleard didn't notice that. He was thinking of what Xavier told him, that his wife would do anything for him.
Did Elena really love him that much?
"So... she didn't want to go home immediately because she was worried to make me disappointed?" Elleard turned to Xavier and looked him in the eye. His brother looked away. He didn't reply to Elleard's question. Instead, he went to the table and poured himself a cup of wine.
Elleard tilted his chin and Mario, who stood in the corner waiting for his orders, nodded in understanding. He took the wine bottle and poured wine into another cup for Elleard and gave it to him respectfully.
