161 A vicious slayer (2/2)

Zain countered, ”She doesn't lie to me.” If she doesn't want to tell, she maintains silence.

”Brother Zain, when you ask her directly and if she maintains silence to avoid lying, doesn't that mean 'Yes'?”

”Hence she chose to lie.” Dax completed Shawn's line.

Zain ran his fingers through his hair feeling frustrated. The four men wanted to clear ground unwillingly to see her face problems but they were kept in the dark by Aarvi, cleared of all the proof by Leon leaving them hanging.

They knew there would definitely be uncleared hints but grabbing that also became difficult.

Aaron spoke after a long silence, ”Aarvi wouldn't like it if we keep discussing these.”

Zain rested his backhead on the couch, ”If we keep doing this, it will only imply that we aren't trusting her capabilities.”

Dax still tried to justify, ”We aren't doubting but worried.”

”Doubt!?” Shawn exclaimed in shock, ”Little Heart looked like a vicious slayer holding a butcher knife. If she comes home saying she chopped somebody, I won't be surprised instead I will definitely ask her how she whacked.”

Shawn managed to get the smile on two's faces and relax another one before turning the conversation light.

Aarvi satisfied all four men with her culinary skills filling their stomachs leaving the apple pie at last. The five settled on the patio with the dessert.

”Dum Dum, your cooking is still fantastic. Were you cooking daily?” Dax praised as he enjoyed the dessert.

Aarvi giggled as she pointed at Aaron, ”He didn't even know I could cook. So what do you think?”

Aaron: ”...”

Then Shawn and Aarvi pulled Aaron's leg, making the other two laugh until Zain got a call from Shane Kelly. Zain didn't hide either, ”Shane Kelly.”

The happy faces turned curious or serene. They could already guess it was a call related to Aarvi's appearance in front of Maisie Brunett.

Zain didn't go aside and answered the call. He didn't care to greet so he just kept at his ear. Shawn and Dax looked at each other witnessing Zain's face turned cold as an iceberg hearing the man's words.
