Chapter 33: Chapter 33

What doctor Hansel said here made Mario keep thinking. Besides needing assistance, Mario thinks Aurora also regrets what she did.

Engrossed in daydreaming in his room, suddenly there was a knock on the door. As soon as he looked up, Mario saw the figure of Tristan entering his room.

"Sir, how can I help you?" Mario immediately got up. Be formal, afraid that Tristan really needs his help.

"Just sit down, Mario. I came here because as usual I wanted to deliver the food your wife has made."

Mario nodded. Then received the food box that Tristan brought. Because this was indeed break time, he immediately opened the black box, intending to check what food menu his wife had prepared this time.

"God, this time he's cooking me Shrimp Alfredo pasta."

"What's your favorite food?" asked Tristan curiously. I'm also curious because Aurora has always been cold and curt towards Mario. So, it's a bit odd if suddenly that woman knows the ins and outs of Mario.

"This is my favorite food, Tristan. I really like Italian food whatever it is."

"But how did Aurora know you like this food?"

"I'm sure Aurora must have asked my Mama all these things."

Tristan nodded. Finally understood and got the answer to the curiosity that had been swirling in his head.

"Ah, it's no wonder that every morning I see her busy cooking new menus. Everything Aurora does is to win your heart, Mario. Don't you have any desire to forgive her soon?"

Mario shrugged. He was still not sure whether to forgive now or later for all the bad actions and behavior that Aurora had previously done to him.

"I don't know, Tristan. I'm still not sure what decision to make."

"But if I may give a suggestion, the lesson you taught was more than enough, Mario. Just look at how persistently he tries to apologize and try to win your sympathy. After all, your wife is heavily pregnant now. Don't you feel sorry to see her alone? She he needs you, Mario. He needs your company."

Mario nodded in understanding. What Tristan said was exactly what doctor Hansel said to him yesterday.

"Just so you know, because of exhaustion, even Aurora didn't come to work today. But, even when she's not feeling well, she still thinks about preparing lunch for you."

he gasped. His heart was immediately touched by what Tristan had just said.

"So, Aurora is sick?"

"You could say that," Tristan answered quickly. "That's why I think it's better for you to end this fight. Come on over to the house. Meet Aurora. She really needs the person you are right now."

Again, Mario fell silent. Think carefully before finally making a decision.

"Then, when I get home from work, I'll come with you to see Aurora. I'll also bring her cake and something else so we can eat dinner together."

"You seriously want to go home and see Aurora?"

Mario nodded confidently.

"But, you better keep it a secret first. Let this be a surprise for Aurora."

"Don't worry," Tristan said happily. In fact, he looks impatiently waiting for the afternoon to come. "I will keep this a secret from Aurora. If necessary, I will also take you to buy your wife's favorite food and cake."

"Thank you for the support, Tristan. Then, let's eat the food that Aurora has cooked. Then after that, we'll go back to work, and later this afternoon we'll go home together."

Tristan nodded in agreement. Happily accepted the fork that Mario gave him. Then they both ate lunch that was on Mario's desk.

***

Aurora had just finished a slightly late lunch. Because he felt a little dizzy, he spent the whole day just sleeping a lot.

Then because she felt bored all day in her room, she decided to go to the kitchen and make pudding. For some reason, suddenly he really wanted to make and eat that food.

After gathering all the ingredients, Aurora began processing them one by one into the pot that was on the stove. Aurora spent more than an hour in front of the stove. Once finished, he quickly poured the pudding mixture into the container, then put it in the fridge.

While waiting for it to cool down, Aurora chose to return to the room. However, just as he was about to sit down on the bed, the room was heard being knocked several times, followed by the entry of Samantha's figure who seemed to be about to tell something.

"Sorry to interrupt, madam. However, a guest has been looking and is now waiting in the living room."

"Visitor?" Wonder Aurora. Who would have thought that in the afternoon like this would come to see him.

"Yes, the guest is a man. He said he wants to meet and discuss important matters with you."

Aurora nodded. Get dressed and walk to the living room. As soon as he arrived, he was immediately surprised. From her net, Aurora could see that there was a figure of Lucas who was now sitting and now even looking at her.

"Aurora," the man scolded.

"L-lucas? What are you doing here?"

Aurora should be confused and at the same time wondering. For whatever reason, Lucas suddenly came to see him, even daring to come to his house. In fact, because the man tried to kiss her yesterday, he got into a big fight with Mario.

"Calm down, Aurora. I want to have a nice talk with you."

Aurora sighed, then soon chuckled softly.

"What else do we need to talk about?"

"Earlier, I'm sorry that my previous actions caused a mess."

"Nothing else needs to be clarified to me, Lucas. Everything is very clear."

Lucas shook his head. While Aurora, who was tired of standing, chose to sit right across from Lucas.

"I know you're angry. For God's sake, I didn't know that all this time it turns out that you already have a husband. But, you should know too, Aurora. Everything I said the other day is true. I do love you. I've liked you for a long time. It's been so hard to find you all this time."

"Nonsense," Aurora said, laughing again. "Where do you think I'm going? I'm not going anywhere, Lucas. Don't overdo it."

Lucas approached. Once again, the man without permission even grabbed Aurora's wrist. Because lazy, Aurora hastily brushed it off.

"Don't be impudent, Lucas. You better get out of here."

"No," Lucas shook his head. "You must leave immediately!" Aurora ordered. He then got up and walked towards the door, then stood there.

"Aurora, I----"

"Lucas, I beg you. We don't have anything else to talk about. No matter how you feel about me, you better keep it or throw it away. After all, we can't be together."

Lucas stood up lethargic, then walked towards the exit. Before actually leaving, he stared intently at Aurora, then spoke again.

"I really love you, Aurora. Whenever you change your mind, I'm always ready to accept you."

"Don't dream, Lucas. I told you, that I ----"

Aurora's sentence came to an abrupt stop when Lucas recklessly approached. In fact, without warning the man grabbed Aurora by the nape and kissed her on purpose.

Aurora rolled her eyes. Tried to let go, but Lucas pulled Aurora's nape even more and deepened the kiss. In fact, slightly pushing Aurora's body to lean against the door.

With great difficulty, Aurora wanted to get away while hitting Lucas's chest repeatedly. Before long, Tristan's figure appeared and immediately pulled Lucas hard from Aurora's side. Then beat the man to the floor.

"You bastard! What are you doing?"

Alexius, who also came with Tristan, quickly approached. Pulling Lucas' body then forcibly dragged the man out of the house.

While Aurora, who was crying at that time, tried to approach Tristan. However, his steps stopped when he suddenly saw Mario's figure who was also there.
