Love Worth Fighting For

223 She’s mine

“Yes, it’s me,” Areez replied softly with a smile.

Suri immediately grabbed the blanket that covered her body quickly, her face immediately changed drastically.

“No.” Areez immediately grabbed Suri’s hand quickly. “Don’t be afraid, I won’t do anything bad to you. Do you remember why I was at your house?”

Suri looked at Areez who was already very close to her without blinking for a few minutes, she tried to neutralize her heart which was currently racing very fast.

“Now you take a shower and after that follow me downstairs, we have breakfast together,” Areez said again with a smile.

Suri nodded slowly.

With a smile on his lips, Areez released his grip from Suri’s hand. After that Areez turned towards the door where there were two maids who were waiting for the task to serve Suri.

“Please help Miss Suri take a bath,” Areez said quietly.

“Yes sir.”

.....

Areez pursed her lips, when she was about to get up from the chair suddenly Suri grabbed her wrist. Areez automatically turned to Suri again. “What is it?”

“Y..you’re going to wait for me to finish showering?”

“Yes, honey. Why? Do you want me to help you shower, hm?”

“Pervert!!” cried Suri loudly.

Areez chuckled. “Pervert from where?” Areez asked playfully.

An annoyed Suri immediately grabbed the pillow beside her and threw it at Areez quickly even though the pillow didn’t hit him because Areez managed to catch it.

“You’ve got to learn to throw harder, honey,” Areez teased, placing the pillow in his hands on the chair where he was sitting.

“Ishhh...”

The two maids who were walking towards the bed smiled slightly at the sweet quarrel that occurred between the lady and her male friend.

Not wanting to make Suri uncomfortable, Areez then rushed out of Suri’s room and immediately headed to the first floor where Aldrich and Asher were currently sitting together.

“Suri is awake?” Asher asked matter-of-factly to Areez who had just sat across from him.

Ares nodded slowly. “Yes, she is currently being helped by the maid to take a bath.”

“Does she still remember what happened last night?”

“No, Suri doesn’t remember the incident,” Areez answered quickly. “And to be honest I don’t want her to remember it anymore, I can’t bear to see her like last night. My chest tightens seeing her like that.”

Asher, who was ready to ask Areez a follow-up question, fell silent for a moment, his tongue feeling numb. There was a feeling of discomfort when he heard the words that were just spoken by Areez, a handsome young man full of charisma who so easily got along with Suri. Even though as he knows all along, Suri is not very easy to get along with strangers.

“Actually, what happened last night that Suri got her panic attack again, Asher?” asked Aldrich curiously, Aldrich who had been very curious about what happened to Suri since last night finally asked Asher the question that was running through his head without being able to hold it in.

Instead of answering Aldrich’s question, Asher grabbed a handkerchief and gently wiped his lips. “In an hour I have an important meeting at the office, sorry I can’t accompany you for breakfast longer.”

“You...”

“Hopefully we have a chance to chat again, Asher,” Areez said quietly, ahead of Aldrich who wanted to yell at Asher for being considered rude.

Asher nodded slowly. “Of course, Mister Floyen. Since Aunty has entrusted Suri to you, I hope you will not disappoint my Aunty’s trust.”

“I won’t disappoint Mrs Marianne,” Areez answered quickly. “Don’t worry.”

Asher, who was already feeling uncomfortable, did not respond to Areez’s words again, all he did was walk towards the door at a fast pace followed by his personal assistant who continued to give Asher disapproving looks who had dared to sit at the Clarke family’s dining table.

“I don’t like those two people,” Aldrich said quietly to Areez who was drinking his bitter coffee. “They don’t seem to like us.”

Areez carefully placed his coffee cup on the table. “Asher and Johan you mean?”

“Yes, the two bespectacled men. They are very unfriendly,” replied Alrich irritably.

Arees smiled. “It’s just your feeling.”

“What do I feel? Don’t you feel that Asher the child’s attitude...”

“Shhh...watch your words!” Areez stopped Aldrich’s words quickly. “Asher is part of the Clarke family no matter what. You don’t talk nonsense.”

“Still he is someone else, he is not related by blood to Suri. So if he wanted to marry Suri it might happen,” replied Aldrich calmly without guilt.

Areez clenched his fists. “Marry Suri, what do you mean?”

“Oh come on, Areez! Use your common sense, he might already be part of this family. But according to religious rules he can do anything to Suri including marrying her, so you have to be wary of him. I’m not talking like this to upset you, I’m just warning you. We don’t know what the future holds, do we?”

“No one can take Suri from me, if anyone dares to do it then that person must step over my corpse first,” Areez growled with emotion. “Suri Mireya Clarke is mine, Areez Floyen’s.”

Aldrich who was already hungry chose to eat right away, he didn’t want to serve Areez who had been provoked by his provocation even though he had no intention of provoking his best friend. Aldrich just wanted to warn Areez, Asher’s gaze at Areez that looked full of hatred Aldrich managed to read well.

“You’re not eating?” asked Aldrich with his mouth full of food.

“I’m going to eat with Suri,” Areez replied curtly.

Aldrich shook his head. “People in love are really terrible.”

“Don’t be noisy, you better finish your food immediately and after that go to the office. Take care of all today’s work well at the office, I don’t think I will be able to go to the office today. Suri needs my presence here more.”

“Yeah...yeah... I know, you don’t have to repeat it over and over again, right?” said Aldrich quickly, as quickly as his movement reached for the glass of water that was beside his plate to speed up the food that was stuck in his throat which was choked with too much talking.
