Tears Of A Wife novel Chapter 16

Kraius and I ended up at a resto near BGC. It's already past six in the evening. We both felt hungry so we agreed to just eat dinner. We ended up at a turkish restaurant. I was a bit surprised when he said that he's half turkish.

I ordered my usual salad and steak. I'm not really a fan of heavy foods in dinners. I'm usually fine with just juice and lettuce. Kraius, on the other hand, ordered a Kebab and Köfté. We both like orange juice.

"Is that fine with you? No wonder, you're so thin," he playfully said, his brows were raised at me. He was holding a fork with kebab.

"Stop staring," I scoffed.

I brought my attention back to my food but Kraius was really a bother. I can feel his intense gaze towards me. I sighed and put my fork and knife back on the plate. I glared at him.

"I am okay with it. If you're thinking about what happened earlier. I guess you already concluded everything," I mumbled.

He averted his eyes. I saw him shake his head. He started eating his food and did not ask any questions. I puffed out a breath. I guess he already knew the answer to his question.

We ate in total silence. The place is cozy and homey. There's turkish music playing while the lights gave color and ambience to the place. All of the customers looked happy, laughing at their tables with their acquaintances. The service crews are consistently smiling while serving the customers.

"I love this place," Kraius spoke after the silence. I looked at him in curiosity. We both have finished our own food. "It feels like home."

"Why? Haven't you travelled to Turkey?: My browds went skywards.

Kraius looked around the corner and smiled. "This is more than Turkey for me, Olive. This place is more important to me."

"I see," I confirmed. I know that with the way he stared at the place, this meant more than what I could fathom.

"Yeah,"

"So, what is seni seviyorum, Mr. Turkish?" I teased. I can feel that Kraius had something heavy inside of him. I wanted to lighten up the mood for him. I saw how his eyes shifted into a different color. From it's natural brown to a darker shade. He seemed to be reminiscing about something he doesn't want to go back to.

He turned to me. "Fuck! I hate those words. Just search it on google."

I chuckled softly and shook my head. I slowly stood up and crossed my arms in front of him. My eyebrows furrowed. "Let's go! Bring me home."
