21st Century Bride のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 61 - チャプター 70

As Vida walked to the room, she felt a bit embarrassed that she had insisted on getting her own room only to return without achieving her goal. She wondered how she was going to face Axel and how he was going to react. She had gone in a hurry, and she had failed to take the key card with her. She stood by the door contemplating if she could escape and go back to the city, but unfortunately, everything she owned was inside the room, and she only had her phone with her—no passport, no money, no cards—and there was a limit to how much money she could send over mobile transfer.She sighed loudly and knocked on the door gently. Everything was silent, so she could hear the footsteps walk to the door and then it unlocked before swinging open to reveal Axel in the room. She stepped in without a word, and Axel allowed her in. They both stood in the middle of the room surveying the place without any words."There were no rooms," Vida said to break the silence between them. "Apparently the entir

Axel stands there watching and staring at her while Vida stands still, hoping he will somehow walk away without making her uncomfortable. Her hand was still gripping the handle of the suitcase tightly; she had to put it in the corner. He looked as if he wanted to ask her some questions, and she was not in the mood to answer any of them if he decided to go ahead with it. She cleared her throat, and he stopped his mind from spinning. He had stepped out to answer Maria's call. The woman had been a bit worried about them and just wanted to know if they had gone in safely, and he did not want her to hear the conversation as well.She spun around to push the suitcase into the corner, and the towel she had thought was securely wrapped around her waist unrolled itself and fell down to her ankles. She felt mortified by what had just happened, her face getting red with embarrassment and anger. Since her back was to him, she could not bring herself to turn back at him and wished the ground would

By the time Vida woke up the next morning, she was not glad with Axel's suggestion of them exploring the city. She wanted to lie in bed and sleep all day or read one of the numerous books she had brought with her. Axel, on the other hand, was insisting that they go out.He wanted to spend time with her, but could not bring himself to say it to her face. She would throw a fit and act like a toddler if she did so. "I do not think it's a good idea for us to be out and about," Vida said, and Axel shook his head.He had disagreed with her on a lot of things before, but this was the first time he was being plain about it to her face, and that caused shock to her."Why not?" He shot at her, and she swallowed."We are not a real couple; why can't we just stay indoors?" She asked and realised that it might even be more dangerous for both of them to be locked in all day. "I mean, you can go out and sightsee while I sit in here and catch up on my reading," she corrected, so he didn't get the wr

By the time they got back to the hotel room, they both played a game of rock paper scissors to determine who would go in first to shower and Axel won so he went into the bathroom. "You need to learn how to play a game," he said, teasing her as he closed the door of the bathroom.Vida had to admit that it felt better to be free with him like this than for her to be at loggerheads with him all the time. She sat on the couch and her phone began ringing. She was shocked to see that the caller was someone who had been interested in investing in her fashion line before she had to hurry home to see her father and since then she had barely had the time to think about her drawings at all. She allowed the phone to ring and cut off because she did not know what she was supposed to tell him when she picked it up. She would have to turn him down, and that would break her heart even more. Now she wished that the investor had not been interested. It was sad to her that she could do well and even

It has been two days since they had been here in Italy and days since they had been here, Axel had been the first out of bed, but today, when she got up, he was still lying down.She did not think too much about it, as it was weird he was out of bed at the crack of dawn for the last two days. It was a vacation and on vacation there were supposed to be lazy days. He worked hard and made her feel lazy.She washed up before realising she did not have a few things she would need, so she went out to the beauty store to pick up all the things she needed.Once she was back in the room, she noticed that Axel was still sleeping, and she did not think much about it. Checking the itinerary that Maria had prepared for them, she noticed that they had a canoe ride later by noon and it meant they still had time. She let Axel sleep while she caught up with social media gossip.After a while, she was hungry, so she ordered room service for breakfast. It was weird that even with the noise at the door,
