Chapter 71 - Romeo And Juliet Meets And Villain Gets Angry

"You are thinking too much, Signora Maria. I saw the ring mark on her finger. Probably, she had removed it or lost it along with her stuff," was Lara's answer.

Why would a young woman as beautiful and prudent as her be worried about a man's health if he wasn't her husband? She could see in the young lady's eyes the care and affection that she had for her husband. 

Maria reckoned before saying, "I think you are right. BTW, did you check into the young man who checked in a while later after the Italian couple? What was his name?"

"Emanuel something…." Lara said. "I checked. He was fine with lunch and I had passed his order to Carlo. He will bring all the things that the boy ordered." 

"Aunt Lara, Chiara said you want me to prepare late lunch for someone?" A young man dressed in a t-shirt and shorts appeared. No one would believe that the handsome lad was the one responsible for the meals if they saw his face. 

Lara nodded. "This is the order. And cook according to this. Since we are short of staff, you have to deliver it to the couple staying on the left wing." 

…

On Santiago's side. 

Santiago was staring at her dumbfounded. He had sent her to bring food, not this… He didn't even know what this dark water-like thing was! Were they supposed to eat this? After four days of surviving on instant noodles, she expected him to eat this? 

"Huh?"

"Red, tell me this is not our food," Santiago had a grimace on his face when he said that. She was charmed by those expressions on his normally expressionless face. He usually was so calm and collected that she never had thought that even he had moments like this. 

All she could say was that he looked 'cute'. And rest of the details she wasn't willing to share for she was possessive of this scenery! 

"It's not our food," Persephone agreed with him. 

Relief flashed through his blue eyes but only until he had not heard her next words. 

"It's for you," she added much to his horror. "You are not allowed to eat anything heavy." 

"You are kidding me?" came a growl of an angry and hungry lion. 

"Stop acting like a kid and finish your food," Persephone spoke like a mom whose kid was throwing tantrums over not eating the healthy food. She scooped some porridge in the spoon and after blowing over it, she held the spoon closer to his lips.

"I can't believe I have been treated like a kid by the woman half my size" came Villain's indistinct voice as he opened his mouth to taste the ugly food. Thankfully, it didn't taste as bad as he had initially thought.

He didn't know why but he let Persephone feed her. In between the bites, he grumbled how awful the food was and how awful she was being by feeding him some animal's shit. However, she just patted his head when he finished the so-called awful food. She then gave him the medicine before checking his wounds. And in the end, she ordered him to rest. 

Not only was she his fake wife but also a sexy and strict nurse! 

Everything was going smoothly until they heard a knock on the door. 

Persephone opened the door only to find a very handsome young man standing outside with a food tray. Never had she ever found a man so handsome. It must be the effect of food in his hands!! 

Villain saw how his woman was blinking her eyes continuously at the kid standing at the door. Of course, he knew she would only blink her eyes like this when she found something or someone beautiful. 

"Ummm… your food, ma'am," said the young man whose face was now resembling a tomato. Truly, he has never seen a woman as gorgeous as her. He wondered if she was somehow an angel who had descended from heaven to the mortal realm. 

"Oh," Persephone said, scratching her head as she realized that she was indeed staring creepily at him. "Please, come in." 

"Where should I place the food?" asked the young and handsome man. 

"On the table," said Persephone with a blinding smile. 

"My dear wife, what's taking you so long? Your husband is waiting for you in bed. Come soon. Don't torment this lover of yours with your absence" they heard someone calling for her in the most romantic way possible. 

Persephone gritted her teeth as she realized what that damn man was doing. 

"Everything alright?" asked the young man as she placed the tray on the table. 

"Oh, yeah sweety. Thank you for the food. " Persephone gifted him with another of her maddening smiles. 

"Love…" she heard a desperate cry again. 

[Damn you, man. See how I will kill you once I deal with this beauty.]

"If you need to order anything, you can just dial this number," The young man informed her. 

"Beauty *cough cough* young man, what's your name?" Persephone questioned him in a mellow voice. 

"Romeo," the young man replied with a red face. 

Persephone's heart went all Kyaa hearing his name. This had to be destiny. She was Juliet and he was her Romeo...tell me if it's not fate… 

"What a coincidence! I'm Juliet!" Persephone happily announced. 

[Don't blame me. I just love anyone who has a beautiful face.] 

Persephone smiled mysteriously as she saw Romeo leaving the room. Happily, she picked up the tray and settled beside Villain on the bed. 

"Didn't know that you were a pedophile," Santiago commented as he saw her grin practically touching her ear. What was so special in that boy? He wasn't as tall or built as him! 

Persephone sent a glare in his direction before digging into her food.

After finishing up everything, she happily walked towards the door holding the tray.

"Where are you going, woman?"Santiago couldn't help but growl. 

"What does this have to do with you?" Persephone turned her head. 

"You are going to see that boy again, aren't you?"Santiago asked her even though he knew the answer quite well. 

"What does it have to do with you?" Persephone retorted. 

"Since you are my wife, I will not allow you to get any closer to another man who is not me," Santiago said as if it was the most correct thing to say. 

"You are unreasonable!" 

"So what if I am? What are you gonna do?!"
