After Aaric and Sasha rushed inside, Aunt Bell thought to herself.
'At least they should hear what I wanted to say.'
When Aaric and Sasha rushed inside, they saw Amanda and Alleyn were leisurely sitting on the sofa and sipping tea. This sight made Aaric furious. He gritted his teeth in rage and yelled for Aunt Bell to come inside. When the latter came inside, she saw the furious expression on his master's face. It made her shudder in fear.
As Sasha observed the old woman's condition, she felt sympathy for her. She tucked down on Aaric's sleeve, asking him to calm down. When he saw her initiative, his anger quickly subsided. But as soon as his eyes landed on the old lady, he frowned.
"Aunt Bell, do you know how worried I became? You should have explained to us earlier that they both are fine." Aaric spoke in an annoyed tone but he did not dare to show anger on his face in front of his wife.
"But master, you did not hear what I wanted to say. By the time I opened my mouth, you already rushed inside." Aunt Bell's explanation made sense. Indeed he rushed inside before she could answer his question.
"Alright. And you two! What did you said just fifteen minutes earlier when I called you?"
"Well did you?" Alleyn shot Aaric a confused look as he did not remember about any calls from the latter.
"Amanda, don't you think your husband is having memory problems. I think you should get him treated." Aaric turned his eyes to look at Amanda and spoke in an annoyed tone.
"Should I?" Amanda also gave him a confused look as if she did not know what Aaric was talking about.
"You both…" Aaric could not find the right words to curse this crazy couple. 'Do they have to act so childish all the time?'
In the meantime, when Aaric was cursing both of them in his mind, he heard a soft google beside him. When he turned his face to look at her, she was trying her hard to control her laughter.
Earlier, when she saw how Alleyn and Amanda bullied Aaric, she could not help but imagine their friendship. She suddenly remembers that Aaric told her that Amanda was one of her best friends. She thought that was she like them too. Surrounded by friends and happiness.
Sensing that Aaric has turned over to look at her, Sasha reflexively lifted her head and met his eyes. The moment she saw his gloomy face, she burst out laughing. Alleyn and Amanda quickly looked at the direction of the source. Amanda suddenly felt her heart tightened with pain and happiness. Finally, she is standing in front of her.
"Sasha…" Before Sasha could register what had happened, a person had already rushed towards her and was hugging her tightly.
"Do you know how much I missed you?"
"Er…"
Sasha gave a confused look to Aaric. Before she could say anything, the man already understood her thoughts. He moved towards both the ladies and introduced them with a smile on his face.
"Sasha, she is Amanda, Alleyn's wife."
"How dare you to introduce me just as Alleyn's wife? Sasha don't listen to his nonsense. I am your friend Amanda." Amanda spoke to Sasha in avery gentle tone, totally different from the one she used while speaking with Aaric.
Sasha did not know what to reply, so she just nodded her head in acknowledgement. Aaric understood her hesitant to get open to others, so he quickly introduced her to Aunt Bell and others.
"Sasha, here she is Aunt Bell, about whom I was talking to you. Aunt Bell has been very caring towards you since the day we moved in together."
"Aaye, my beautiful madam. You don't know how happy I am to see you fully recovered." Aunt Bell could not control her emotions as she started shedding tears. She was extremely thankful to God for taking care of her madam.
"Aunty, please don't cry. It will make my heart ache." Sasha could not stand the pitiful crying state of the old lady in front of her. So she tried her best to console her and hugged her, thinking it might help.
As soon as the old lady heard those caring words she felt as if warmth spread across her chest.
She quickly wiped off the tears from her face and held Sasha's hand gently before speaking.
"Alright, I won't cry now. Come come all of you. I have prepared a lot of dishes. You all must be hungry. Come to the dining hall."
Everybody was used to the caring nature of Aunt Bell, so they never minded whenever she showered them with love and affection as if they were her own children.
On the way to the dining hall, Aaric was striding behind. His phone buzzed and it showed a text message which was,
"Mission complete!"
As soon as Aaric read that text, his emotions turned cold and there was a dangerous curve lifted at the corner of his lips.
"The revenge begins!"
