Chapter 14

Renee felt more drawn to Dante now. He had been through so much and she could finally understand why he was this way. She didn’t find him terrible anymore…not even the tiniest bit. ************** Back home,the servant had began to prepare sobriety soup.The servant said that Dante had a weak stomach and so could not have too much alcohol,but it was necessary to have this soup every time. Since she was going to be his wife soon,she decided to learn how to prepare the soup herself. “Mrs Moretti is really caring towards her husband.”Though she wasn’t married to Dante yet,his servants had changed the way they address her. Renee blushed and couldn’t help eying them. “I just don’t want him to be in a drunken brawl.” Time flew by.She had been waiting for Dante since 8;pm and now it was half past ten. She felt herself becoming more of a wife to him each passing day and now she was currently staying up late,waiting for her dear husband. She felt a little sleepy so she decided to close her eyes for a bit but suddenly,she heard the sound of a car outside the house. Dante was back! She quickly put on her slippers and hurried up to the door.As she opened the door,she was surprised to see an old man possibly in his seventies standing by the door. He was white-haired and vibrant. Renee didn’t know who he was. She saw Dante walk in from behind the man. And then he introduced.”Renee,this is my father.” Renee blinked and quickly greeted.”Good evening,sir.” Initially,she had guessed that he might be Gustavo but she wasn’t sure.Last time,she was beaten so bad and had no time to properly meet Gustavo. Gustavo was an important figure in the city.Everyone who saw him was always in awe of him. He was a man who had gone from a nobody to a somebody.A somebody who was widely feared and respected. “Sir?No.Call me Dad.You’re my son’s wife so you should call me dad.” The more Gustavo looked at Renee,the more he liked her. He found her lovely and polite.He was still upset about what happened to her at his house the last time so he had come over to see her,and to observe the relationship between her and Dante. Though,they were engaged now,he wanted to make sure that they would eventually get married. “I…this…”Renee felt uneasy around Gustavo and she couldn’t help but look at Dante for help. “Dad,we’re just engaged.When we get married,she’ll call you father.Just don’t make her uncomfortable.” “Ah,no worries.You can call me anything you feel comfortable with.”Gustavo said with a warm smile. “Please do come in.I’ll make you a cup of tea.”Renee invited the old man in. Gustavo felt guilty about what happened that day and so he kept asking her if she felt better now. Renee had thought Gustavo was a strict and stereotyped old man but he was really nice. Dante knew that Renee had stayed up late waiting for him and should be asleep now because of her classes tomorrow,he quickly let out. “Dad,it’s really late.Renee should get some sleep now.She has to go to school tomorrow.” “Oh yes.We wouldn’t want her lagging behind in her studies.Renee,do you and Dante sleep together?” Renee’s eyes widened in surprise at that question. She looked at Dante in shock,only to see him calmly nodding his head. “Of course,we do.We share the same bed,we’re getting along very well,dad.You don’t need to worry about a thing.”Dante responded in a quite natural way without even one blink. Renee secretly gave him a thumbs up.Compared to her,who legs had trembled a bit,Dante remained as cool as a cucumber without giving anything away. Gustavo smiled and nodded but he was too clever to be fooled.He had come here to help them develop their relationship further. Dante and Renee went back to her bedroom.Soon after they closed the door,Chad came in and carried away all the quilts except for the one on the bed. Gustavo,standing at the door,looked into the bedroom and smiled when he saw that there was only a thin silk summer quilt on the bed. “Go to sleep now.Don’t get cold in the night.Chad,find someone to carry out the sofa and the chair on the balcony.” Soon,the excess furniture were moved away.Renee looked at Dante in confusion. Gustavo was clearly giving them no other choices. “What should we do?”Renee asked Dante. Dante didn’t expect that the old man would do such a thing and give him no option. He raised his eyebrows slightly.He planned to muddle through this period,but it clearly didn’t work. He murmured.”I’ll go and tell him everything.“ He was about to leave but Renee stopped him. “I think your dad means well though but would he have negative thoughts about me if he finds out that we haven’t been living together?That I’ve been staying at my dorm?” Renee was worried. People said that marrying into a big family was an envious thing but in fact,it was hard,she didn’t want to do anything wrong to upset her in-laws. Dante was her only reliance in this family and she didn’t want to get him in trouble. “You don’t have to worry.No one,not even my father has the right to think badly if you.” She felt relieved by his words but she still wanted Gustavo to be pleased. Renee hesitated for a moment and then said.”How about…you sleep here tonight?” “You want us to sleep together?”Dante drawled. Renee blushed. But did they have another choice? Seeing Gustavo so excited about their relationship,she didn’t want to let him down. She didn’t dare to look at him as she said in a trembling voice. “I meant sleep.Just sleep and nothing more.” “Hmm.Just sleep?You want me to only sleep next to a beautiful woman like you?Do you really believe that I’m that much of a gentleman?” She had no idea how badly he was attracted to her. Did she want him to have a boner all night long? “You have to be a gentleman tonight.”She warned. Last time,she had laid naked when he had inspected her and he did nothing to her. So she believed that he would not do anything to her tonight. “I’m going to prepare your pajamas.Take a bath first.” Renee thought that Dante was a sheep but she had no idea that he was actually a wolf. Dante looked into her innocent eyes and sighed. She really had control over him and he would do anything she says. “Fine.I’ll try to be a gentleman.” Renee was relieved fo hear this. She loved the fact that he respected her wishes. After a quick shower,Dante came out of the bathroom with only a bath towel wrapped around his lower body. Renee felt so shy as her eyes looked everywhere else but avoided his body. “Please quickly put on some clothes or you’ll catch a cold.”She grumbled,still not looking at him. Dante laughed.”Just see it as a rehearsal for our marriage.” “Put on your clothes.”She whined,throwing his pajamas at him. He laughed harder as he put on his clothes. She then scurried into the bathroom to have her bath. By the time she finished bathing,she realized that she didn’t bring in pajamas or underwear with her. The only bath towel was with Dante and he was in the bedroom! What was she going to do?! She pulled open the glass door and stuck her head out.Her face was red as she requested.”Hey…Dante,can you pass me my clothes please?” Dante raised his head from the bed and saw Renee face and a her sexy figure through the glass. She was quite close to the door so he could see her figure quite clearly. His Adam’s apple moved,convulsively and he felt a ferocious fire running through his lower abdomen. This girl…was she intentionally torturing him. He took a deep breath,his eyes darkened for a moment and he tried hard to hold his surging desire. “What do you need?” “Pan…underwear…and…and a nightdress.” Renee had thought saying underwear was less vulgar but knowing Dante was going to see her panties made her flushed all over.She hoped he only sees her fine underwears though. Dante searched through the wardrobe and found some of her panties. He bit back a laugh seeing the animal designs on some of them. Her panties were just as cute as her. He picked up her bralette and sighed. It was a Mickey Mouse design. As he passed the clothes to her,he teased. “Are you still a child?How can your underwear be so childish?” “There’s nothing wrong with them!” She was shy before but when she heard his words,she felt annoyed and grabbed her clothes from him. Angry as she was, she forgot to close to the door.She started to get dressed with her back to Dante.
