"I will not allow you to leave this place even if you only take a step out of the door."Alferd said, pointing in the direction of the door he was referring to.
"Remember Aaron. If you want your mama to stay alive and live a long life, you have to do this engagement." Alferd explained, reminding it back to his only son.
Aaron immediately snorted irritably. He made no effort to contradict his father's words. Aaron was very forced to return to the middle of the room, because the peak of the event was about to take place.
Not far from where Aaron sat, there was Louise and oma Tamara who were talking about their prospective besan. She is Kate, a middle-aged woman hired by Ainsley to be a surrogate mother.
Of course, making Kate as beautiful as this glamor is not a cheap thing for Ainsley to change it. He has to spend a lot of money in order to perfect the scenario that has been arranged in such a way, so that his status as just a servant boy does not get caught by his future in-laws.
"Watch out if you act out of my direction, I won't pay the rest of the money we agreed on." Tell Ainsley to Kate who is sitting next to her.
"Take it easy, Ainsley. This aunt is good at this. You're not the first person to hire aunties to pretend to be rich. So, it is certain that acting aunt will convince the family of your prospective fiance."Kate, get over it.
Ainsley could smile a little relieved after Kate said about her ability back.
However, on the other hand. Louise and oma Tamara actually think there is an awkwardness from the movements of their prospective besan.
The super old grandmother whispered to her daughter-in-law about Kate.
"Louise, are you sure that the woman is Ainsley's mother?"
"I'm not so sure, mom. But, their faces are similar, so I race that woman is indeed Ainsley's mother. After all, there is no way Ainsley would dare to lie to us. He knows who he's dealing with."
"That's right." Oh my God, Tamara. "What do I do when I think about it. Even if Ainsley is lying, after all, one day her stripes will be discovered too." Within the home.
The Mc of the event began to rise to the stage on the side of the spacious room. The Mc will start the show. While Aaron and Ainsley are already sitting side by side at the family table.
When their names were called by the MC, the two of them immediately walked together to the front. Then, accompanied by their respective mothers, the solemn event began.
Aaron and Ainsley exchanged engagement rings. The smile of happiness could not be separated from the faces of the three women who were in the same place, except Aaron. His face did not at all show happiness in such an important event.
After the exchange of engagement rings, a photo session was held. At that time, Aaron accidentally saw an unexpected figure who was among the invited guests. The figure he was looking for all this time turned out to be present at his engagement. She Is Jodie.
Jodie herself was surprised when she found out that her stepbrother's future husband was Aaron. His heart hurt when he knew that. However, what power Jodie felt had no power to admit the truth. She would have been ostracized if she had dared to speak openly about her pregnancy.. Moreover, Jodie just found out that Aaron comes from a conglomerate family, and the figure of Alferd is familiar to Jodie.
The grief deepened, as Jodie began to realize that she had only been left suffering for the rest of her life by the man who had been willing to plant a seed in her womb.
Jodie felt that she could no longer afford it if she had to follow Ainsley's engagement ceremony to completion. He left the room as soon as he realized Aaron was looking at him.
At that moment, Jodie's departure was immediately teased by Aaron.
Without saying anything, Aaron just passed away when the photo session was not finished and also the engagement was not over.
Aaron quickened his footsteps. He was eager to call the woman's name. But, his mouth feels tightly closed and locked by itself, until his mouth can not open even just one cent.
Suddenly, Jodie had bad luck when she was about to go down the stairs near the hotel lobby. His legs tripped and his body rolled down the stairs until he fell on the floor of the lobby. Jodie was unconscious.
Everyone who was there immediately came swarming around Jodie.
Meanwhile, Aaron loses Jodie's figure. He looked around the hotel, until he was in the lobby of the hotel and saw that there were a lot of people crowded there. He hurried straight to the place where the crowd of people there.
Aaron was immediately shocked to see that people were looking at Jodie lying on the floor with blood on both legs.
There, no one dared to carry Jodie's body. They were all waiting for the ambulance from the hospital to arrive. But, Aaron desperately picks Jodie up instead and takes Jodie running to her car.
Aaron panicked half to death. Moreover, his hands were full of Jodie's blood. To hold the steering wheel of the car alone his hands were still trembling, but as soon as he turned to Jodie who he was lying on the back seat, his fear disappeared suddenly. His body that had trembled could return to normal. He immediately went to the nearest hospital to give Jodie help.
**
Aaron's thoughts and feelings are not inconsequential. He panicked not because he left his engagement ceremony, but rather he panicked because he thought about Jodie's condition.
Aaron tus had been pacing in front of the emergency room alone. Not a single person accompanied him. Until finally, Mikho came after him and immediately said something to his boss.
"Young Master Aaron. What are you doing here? Everyone is confused looking for you. Moreover, ladies and gentlemen. They are very angry because you just left before the event was over. Better, you go back to the hotel now before Mr. and Mrs. get really mad at you."
"Quickly you bring my clothes, mobile phone and wallet that were left in the locker room earlier."
Aaron did not respond to Micho's words, who was very panicked at the thought. Instead, he asked his men to do his bidding.
"No. I can't do the master's orders this time. Because Mr. Alferd is already really mad at you. I no longer want to be the victim of Mr. Alferd's anger."
"I will be responsible. So, now. You do what I say!!"
Micho went awry. He must obey the orders of his two Masters.
"This is urgent, Mikho!!"
After Aaron said that, only then did he carry out Aaron's order to immediately return to the hotel. Micho himself couldn't avoid Aaron's command when he realized that Aaron's clothes were full of blood.
"Who is the husband of Jodie's patient?" A nurse finally came out of the emergency room.
The question instantly made Aaron's body sculpted instantly. So did Mikho who immediately glanced strongly at Aaron who was standing next to him.
