Chapter 14

"Hello, dad, we will be late. Due to John's convention next week, his patients flooded, but we're on our way there." Alexa said. "Ok, we're already here together with your parents-in-law." Mr. Cruz said with a teasing tone. "Dad!" Alexa said smiling.

The couple arrived, 30 minutes late, at the restaurant. Upon arriving, few of the customers looked at the couple with astonishment. The couple were walking towards the reserved table holding hands. "I think we will have handsome and beautiful grandchildren in the future. It runs on the genes." Mr. Graciano said looking at the couple approaching them. "You're correct!" Mr. Cruz proudly said. The two couples laughed as they will be happily waiting for their grandchildren.

"Hi,dad,mom! Good evening Uncle, Auntie!" Alexa said while kissing the cheeks of the oldies. John kissed the cheeks of his mom and Alexa's mother while shaked the hand of Mr. Cruz and a nod to his father. And dinner was served.

John stood up and said, "Dad,Uncle, can I speak to you for a moment." John was serious that made Alexa worried a bit. John saw Alexa's face and winked at her. " If you have the "girls' talk", this is "men's talk". Before Alexa could react, the three men walked away from their table. "I'll just ask him later." Alexa said to herself.

John took a paper from his pocket and gave it to the two men infront of him. "I found it in my clinic, on the table of Alexa. I did'nt tell Alexa. Me, Mike and you both are the only people knew this damn thing." John said. Mr. Cruz crumpled the paper and said, "Who ever touches my daughter, I will break every bones in his body!" Mr. Cruz said angrily. "John, I think we should inform the police and make an investigation as soon as possible." Mr. Graciano said in a serious tone. "Dad, Uncle provided a bodyguard for her and is on standby if anything goes wrong. If we will inform the police immediately of this matter, the culprit might get away." John said. "You still don't have any idea who the hell was he?" Mr. Graciano asked his son. "Alexa had that charisma that will make every man look at her as if she was a delicate blooming flower." John softened his face while looking inside the restaurant. Alexa was smiling that made her face more beautiful and innocent."Mike and I had no idea but we're making our ways to find that bastard." John said, his face back in serious aura. "We better find out first who would be that insane man before he could touch my daughter." Mr. Cruz said clenching his fist ready to punch anyone who will hurt Alexa.

The three men entered the restaurant after the serious discussion. "Well, what was the "men's talk" about?" Alexa asked looking alternately on the men sitting down. "It's a secret!" John said while putting his hand on her shoulder and kiss Alexa on her forehead. "That's not fair!" Alexa said and pinched John's side. "Ouch! Uncle,Auntie, your daughter is hurting me." John said while looking like a child begging. "I think you should be ready to be a battered husband." Mrs. Cruz said and the rest laughed.
