INTO THE DEPTHS OF LOVE : CHAPTER 11 – 20

Just like how the smile appeared in a flash, it disappeared swiftly.

“Do you like it? Does it taste delicious?” Kristin asked as Richard ate her food made out of root vegetables and rice.

“Not that bad,” Richard muttered.

It was extremely delicious, but being a proud peacock, he chose not to tell her that her food was tasty.

“You should’ve just said it’s delicious” She muttered in a low voice, but Richard was able to hear her.

“Should I stop eating?”

Kristin shakes her head swiftly.

“No, don’t! You aren’t the type to give people credit to their work anyways. As long as you’re enjoying it, it’s fine by me”

“Get ready this weekend” Richard said as he ate.

“Get ready this weekend? Are we going somewhere?” Kristin asked.

“Yes. We will visit my dad”

“Your dad? Why does he want to see me?”

“Have you forgotten you’re my wife?” Richard replied her question with a question

“I know, but isn’t too swift? I’m not prepared yet” Kristin mumbled.

This will be the first time she’d be meeting with a wealthy family and she didn’t know how she’d act when she meets with Richard’s dad.

All her life in Glenwood, she was always surrounded with her neighbors who were all farmers and sold their harvested products to other nearby towns.

Richard and Luke are the only people she has spoken to and interacted with since she came to Las Vegas.

The way she’d speak and communicate with Richard’s dad, scares her.

“You don’t need to get nervous, be yourself”

“Huh?”

“Be yourself” Richard repeated and continued again. “My dad is a simple person, so you don’t have to be pressured, and as for Ophelia, don’t let her find out you are from Glenwood, she is a scheming woman”

“Ophelia? Is she your mom?”

“She is not my mom!” Richard shot Kristin with a glare that made her lower her head.

He hates it when people refer Ophelia as his mom, because twenty years ago till now, she hasn’t accepted him as her son, and she wasn’t different from the malicious woman who locked him up in the dark room.

Ophelia contributed in making his life a miserable one, but it was all in the past now cuz he is now a full grown man who nobody can trample on the ground.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to call her your mom”

“I am going to let it slide, Peanut, but just this one time. Ophelia isn’t my mom, the only one who I consider as my family is Julio Hernandez.

Have this in mind, don’t ever show Ophelia your weakness, she tends to walk on people who show their weakness to her. Do I make myself clear to you?” He asked.

Kristin slowly nodded her head.

Richard knew shouting at Kristin when she called Ophelia his mom was uncalled for, but he is someone that will never apologize to anyone.

The first time he said the word “I’m sorry” was to Kristin, but it wasn’t sincere, and he won’t ever say it to her no matter what happens.

No one bothered to tell him sorry when he suffered in the dark room or walked around the street in bare feet and torn clothes.

“Do you have more?” He suddenly asked and Kristin looked at him wearing an innocent face.

“More?” She uttered.

“I need more of your specialty,” Richard said, referring to Kristin’s cooking.

Since he can’t apologize to her, he had to ask for more of her food, to make her brighten up.

It worked because Kristin sprang up from the glass chair, smiling.

“I should give you more food?” She asked, smiling dazzlingly.

Richard nodded.

Kristin chortled and said; “Alright, I will be right back” She quickly rushed to the kitchen to get another bowl of rice and root vegetables soup.

“What should I do with you, Kristin?” Richard uttered, mentioning her name for the very first time.
