"And what happened after you injected her?"
"I don't know what happened later because Aaric did not want me to get involved in those things and become a target for the party. So he quickly asked the bodyguards to cover me up while leaving." Alleyn answered her honestly. He knew that she might be feeling very insecure after everything happened today so he promised himself no matter how harsh or bitter the truth was, he will never hide anything from her. She needed a trust bond. And a relationship is first built up on a strong foundation of trust. So he did not want to hide anything from her which might create a drift between them in future and weaken their trust.
"Did Aaric tell you whether it worked or not?"
"I don't know why but I am feeling as if you are doubting my creations! Ofcourse it will work, you stupid woman!" Alleyn retorted as his face turned red on hearing Amanda's stupid question. Why would Aaric ask him then if it was not going to work?
"Alleyn at that time we just joined first year!" Amanda exclaimed when she found everything so hard to believe. This guy was so good at the medical field yet he always ranked second while she topped.
Alleyn could clearly see through her words and the hidden meaning behind them. He wanted to keep it a secret but right now it looked as if he had to disclose.
"Do you really think you were so good at studies? If not for me you would always be standing in the last row." Alleyn snorted at the end while acting all haughty and proud of himself.
Amanda was too shocked to hear that she almost slipped her hand which was resting on his broad shoulders. She looked at the man in front of her in bewilderment. 'He did intentionally.' But again how can she bear with his haughty attitude which he showed just not. She elbowed the man and replied in her own sarcastic way.
"Hah! And pigs can fly! I have always been the one who topped. How come you have such a bad misunderstanding that it was because of you?" Though Amanda was too shocked to hear about this, still she did not let it surface on her face. She felt contented from inside. All the misunderstanding which both were having... no actually misunderstanding which she had for him, all became clear today. Conclusion came out which was a bit unexpected for her. Her husband did everything just to grab her attention. He loved her back since day one but she was the blind person in their relationship who found everything difficult to understand and observe.
Amanda's reply made Alleyn's face darkened like a black pot. He looked at the woman in his arms as his face revealed a faint smile when he saw her giggling and laughing like a small child. For him she was not only his partner but sometimes he would have to treat her like a child. Maybe it was good for him as he would be training himself to become a good father in future.
"Okay now! Let's go back, it might be raining heavily." Alleyn was just about to let Amanda down when she suddenly clinged on his shoulders and entangled her hands around his neck. Confusedly he looked at her and asked.
"What's wrong?"
"I don't want to walk. I want you to piggyback me! Take this as your punishment." Amanda pouted her lips as she demanded. How was Alleyn supposed to decline her when he saw her pouting and acting like a spoiled child. He shook his head helplessly and just bent down so that she could climb up.
"Okay c'mon climb on!"
"Yay! Can you cook some soup and garlic bread for me. I feel like I am craving. You know I want it a bit spicy. Alright?" Amanda kept in demanding Alleyn until she saw that he was not at all giving into her demands. She poked his head and ruffled his hair when he stayed silent even after she urged him.
"Hey... Don't!" To Alleyn apart from his wife, he loved his hair more than anything. Especially when he just combed and applied serum. He never liked anyone messing with his hair.
"No!!!!!"
"I will just remove my hand and let you fell. Do you want me to do that?"
"Alleyn Walker, are you threatening me?" Amanda's cold voice made Alleyn snap back to reality. How come he thought that he could have everything according to his will? C'mon he was no more single.
"Alright your highness. You have every right to do anything and of course I'll cook them for you." At the end he could just comply with her demands.
Meanwhile inside the mansion, Aaric was just standing awkwardly in front of the bed. He did not know what he should do. He did not even want to look at her direction, he was too embarrassed to do that.
Sasha saw his every reaction and was hardly able to control herself from bursting out. She bit her lower lip and controlled the urge to laugh out loud at his face. She cleared her throat, which made Aaric stiffened when he heard that.
Sasha lifted her gaze and looked at him before speaking.
"Aaric..."
