Alex was quick to clear his throat. How could he forget? He actually ended up even wanting to skin the man and kill him too back then.

Alex groaned. He shouldn't have brought this topic up. After a second, he cleared his throat again.

”That was the stupid me. I am not that guy anymore so forget about it,” he said sheepishly, not looking into her eyes. Abi chuckled again. Alex was cute when he was like this.

Abi was about to tease him more but they had already reached the grand staircase. Looking at this vast, familiar place made Abi fall silent and she leaned her head on his shoulder as she looked down. They had so many memories in this house. Abi didn't think that she would be back here again like this.

”I've missed you so much, Alex, and this place, too,” she uttered.

”Me too, my wife. This place is definitely special. It's where we spent our first days together after all. This is our house.”

”Why did we return here?” Before Alex could answer her question, Abi looked like something popped in his head and she gasped. ”What about the others? Where is Alicia?!”

Alex didn't answer and just looked at her. And then, he put her down.

Abi was still waiting for his response when she heard someone's voice.

The moment she turned around and looked at the sofa by the fireplace, she saw them all sitting there, smiling at her.

Alicia, Kai, Raven, Riev and the others were there.

Seeing them all looking well and smiling made Abi's eyes well with emotions. She ran towards Alicia and hugged her tight.

”I'm so glad you're okay, Alicia,” she uttered.

”Me too, Abigail. I'm glad you are looking energetic again.”

However, before the girls could start getting into a serious conversation, Alex's hand wrapped around Abi's waist and he pulled her towards him. He had other priorities at that moment.

”My wife is hungry. She needs to eat first,” he simply said and just like that, he took Abigail away. ”Let's all talk later.”

Everyone could only watch the two lovebirds as they headed towards the dining hall.

”We should've invited them to eat with us, Alex,” Abi said.

”Nope. No need. They have eaten already. Don't worry about them.”
