Chapter 144 - Step-by-Step Part 1 (1/2)

Aaron went to visit his wife with flowers. He made sure that the fake Fiona hadn't followed him. He also bought lots of new clothes for her yesterday so he could give it to her. He doesn't care if the fake Fiona would think that he's having an affair. She too had been unfaithful and a liar and a fake to him. So, his loyalty is to his real wife.

He entered the room and put the flowers on the vase. She's sitting on the bed with band-aid wrapped around his face, few parts on her neck and her arm. He smiled and put the new dresses and bags over the table.

”Hello, love.” He greeted her and kissed her top head. She held his hand and squeezed it tightly.

”How's your day?”

”It's all good. The fake you are trying to investigate who I am seeing but I am careful.”

”I will be out for a few days.” She held his hand more. ”And what about dad?”

”He's fine and aware of everything, I think. Don't worry, everyone is okay, and you should focus more on your healing.”

She exhaled and closed her book.

”How's Andromeda?”

”She's fine. Zach is taking care of her.”

”And James?” She asked again.

”Love, they are fine. James is in the office and Andy is doing well.” He pulled her hand back and kissed both of them. ”Don't stress out, okay?”

Fiona nodded and move a little to give him space. He removed his shoes and sat beside her and wrapped his arms around her.

Fox woke up in the morning to find Ellen, looking more like a housewife, taking care of Andel more than herself. She looked a little messy but she's still beautiful. He suddenly envied Andel for having such a good girlfriend.

”Hey, you have to eat!” Ellen waved him.

Fox went to the table and sat down. He reached the warm water that Ellen already prepared for him and drank all of it. He sighed and lean on his seat.

”So, when will be the wedding?” Fox asked.

Ellen looked at Andel and Andel glanced at Fox.

”Soon. I must fix a few things. I want a quiet wedding.” He told and reached Ellen's hand. ”But first I must find the perfect engagement ring for my girl.”

Fox didn't expect to have these romantic words from Andel. So, he took his pancakes and other protein food and left the table.

Andy is already fixing her things since they must leave earlier than she expected. She called Fox and Fox answered immediately and he's probably going to fix his things. But first, she should make sure that Ellen is safe. So, she called his trusted Commander to protect Ellen, escorting her everywhere she goes.

On the door frame, her husband is standing with his hands in his pocket.

”Don't worry.” Andy winked at him.

Then she suddenly stopped and saw an event flashed in her head. She exhaled and hold on the table. She clenched her hand and looked at Zach. He put down his hands and strode toward her.

”You okay?” He scooped her face.

”Yeah!” She hugged him. He hugged her back and tight.

”I will miss you so much.”

”I'm sorry, Zachy, but I have to do this.”

”I know.” He looked up and trying to conceal his sadness to be away from her for long. He can't bear to be away from her for like a day.
