Back to You
That afternoon, according to the original plan, after work Mario would join Tristan to stop by the Quartararo family's residence so he could meet Aurora.
Before actually going home, he invited Tristan to stop by one of his regular cake shops first. While Tristan bought Red Velvet for Sophia, Mario himself chose Cheese Cake, which his wife really liked.
"Are you sure you only bought Sophia red velvet? As far as I know she also likes Oreo Slices," said Mario so confidently.
In the past, when he wanted to approach Sophia, Mario was given the task of investigating the ins and outs of the only child of the Walters family. Never mind food, all habits, hobbies, even Sophia's ideal type, Mario knows very well. This investigation was deliberately used by Tristan as capital to approach and at the same time win Sophia's heart and in the end managed to melt the woman's heart.
"No," shook Tristan. "During pregnancy, Sophia was asked to eat less anything that contains or is made from chocolate. Instead of why, it's better to just avoid it."
Mario nodded knowingly. If the doctor has recommended it, how could he force it. Therefore, after buying the cake they wanted, the two of them stopped again at a restaurant to buy some food menus so they could eat together tonight.
Anyway, after arriving home and having a serious talk with Aurora, Mario wants to celebrate the moment of making up with everyone in the house.
"Is there anything else that needs to be bought? Seeing your shopping, you look like someone who is about to have a birthday party, Mario," Tristan scolded, shaking his head.
"It's okay, Tristan. This food can be eaten by all the workers in your house. Don't forget, there are about 20 employees who work actively at your house. Everyone has to join in celebrating my reunion with Aurora."
Tristan just shook his head. Because he wasn't the one spending the money either, so he relaxed.
"Suit yourself. I hope that after making up later, the two of you won't cause any more trouble."
"Don't worry," Mario said with a laugh. "I also want to plan to buy Aurora a house. So, we can move out of your house soon."
"You want to take Aurora out of the house?"
Mario nodded.
"How good is it if I have to live in your house all the time, Tristan. My father and mother are public officials who are well known to a wide audience. Meanwhile, I myself have the ability to buy a house. It's funny if I keep living in your house. Can you bear to see us later?" people out there sneer at?”
Tristan chuckled. Actually, it didn't matter to him that Mario wanted to take Aurora to their own house. Both of them have the right to build a household without the need for interference from other people.
However, for some reason Tristan felt heavy. Since he was a teenager living with Aurora, he is unwilling to part with this stubborn woman who he considers like his own sister.
"If I may bid, it's best for you to move after Aurora gives birth. Let Sophia be able to help Aurora first. At least until your baby is one month old. And while waiting for that time, you can just buy a house and then pay off the equipment in it. If When you're ready, you can move on."
"Why do you pay in installments? My money is quite a lot if it's just to fill in the furniture, Tristan. Isn't the salary you have given so far very much?"
Tristan chuckled. Is this why his assistant and brother-in-law suddenly become annoying? He thought, in this world the most annoying was Edward Cullen with all his arrogance.
"You are too much!"
Mario laughed out loud. He liked to see Tristan when he was annoyed like now.
"Didn't you yourself teach me to be arrogant or arrogant so as not to be trampled on by others?"
"Yes, I can say that you have successfully applied the knowledge I have given you."
After finishing waiting for all the food that was ordered ready to be brought, the two of them left to then hurry back to the house.
Arriving at the front of the house, Tristan and Mario were both amazed. In the yard, now looks a red sports car that they have never seen before. Tristan was so surprised that he asked security about who had come to visit his house.
"Whose car is this?" Tristan asked security when he got out of the car.
"I don't know, sir. Looks like Mrs. Aurora's guest. Because when she arrived earlier, she said she wanted to meet and talk to Mrs. Aurora."
"The guest is male or female?"
This time it was Mario who was made curious. He also asked the security guard to make sure.
"The guest is male, sir."
Tristan is getting curious. Walking ahead of Mario, he immediately entered the house to make sure who the guests were coming to see Aurora.
However, just taking a step inside, he saw with his own eyes how Aurora looked cornered, leaning against the open door. And what's worse, there was a figure of an unknown man who was clearly seen forcing Aurora to kiss.
Tristan was immediately furious. Enraged pushed, then beat the man without a word so that he finally fell to the floor.
"Bastard!" cried Tristan angrily. I really want to beat the man if I can until he is black and blue. "Are you crazy, huh? How dare you get so impudent in my house!"
Alexius who also saw the incident immediately approached. Approaching the unknown man then gripped his collar tightly. Interesting, then took the strange man earlier to get out of the living room.
"Aurora ... I beg you, I seriously love you," Lucas said before finally being pulled out of the living room by Alexius.
While Aurora was clearly seen crying. Tristan, who knew about it, of course immediately called him.
"Aurora come here."
While weeping, Aurora came closer. However, his steps stopped when he turned towards the door, in fact there was the figure of Mario standing there. Aurora was sure that her husband must have witnessed what had happened.
"Mario ... i-it's not like what you imagined. I swear for anything, I can explain everything," said Aurora, confused. I was so afraid that her husband would again misunderstand or even accuse her of all kinds of things. For God's sake, if Mario gets angry again, he won't forgive Lucas if he needs to make a calculation for being stupid and careless towards him.
However, hearing Aurora's trembling voice, Mario seemed to remain silent. Staring coldly while wearing an expression that is difficult to decipher. In fact, when Aurora approached, Mario immediately turned around. Passed, then approached Alexius who was standing in the yard with his hand still holding the stranger.
"Are you out of your mind?" shouted Mario as he approached, then grabbed hard by the collar of the shirt that Lucas was wearing. His jaw tightened. His eyes flashed with anger. "I warned you not to get close, let alone touch my wife. Are you deaf? Do you want to die on purpose?"
The next second, Mario threw a punch right in Lucas' stomach. Then beat until the man fell back down. Aurora, who saw what happened, of course immediately screamed in fear. Luckily Tristan was there. Karen is afraid that Mario will let go, he tries to intervene immediately.
"Mario, stop it. Let Alexius take care of this."
"Let me just kill this bastard, Tristan. He's already tried to touch Aurora twice. I should have just broken his neck yesterday."
"Patience, Mario. You can't act recklessly."
Tristan's gaze then turned to Lucas. From his eyes, he could see that the man was still sitting holding his stomach which was probably in so much pain after being hit repeatedly from Mario.
"I'm warning you not to bother Aurora anymore after this. If I hear about it let alone see you appear before Aurora, don't blame me the next time I make you disappear!"
Tristan then gave the code to Alexius to immediately remove the man named Lucas from his residence. Turning to Aurora, Tristan then guided the woman back into the house and led her to the room with Mario following behind her.
***
Aurora looked at Mario's face, who had been standing quietly not far from the bed with tears in his eyes. Currently both of them are in Aurora's room.
Realizing that her husband might be angry or misunderstood, Aurora decided to get up. Then, unexpectedly, he sat kneeling right under Mario's feet, bowing his head, apologizing.
"For God's sake, whatever bad thoughts that reside in your head, all of them are not true Mario. I have nothing to do with Lucas. I don't even understand why he could suddenly come here and do something rude to me."
While looking down, the tears continued to fall. Pattered. Before finally sounding increasingly soft and painful.
Mario even realized that Aurora's current sitting position was uncomfortable. What's more, the big belly makes it difficult for his wife to move freely.
Then, Mario also bowed, intending to ask Aurora to get up immediately. However, instead of standing up, Aurora's cries sounded more broken.
"I'm sorry," Aurora said back softly.
"Aurora, stop it," Mario begged then.
"I'm really sorry to you, Mario. Please don't leave me again."
"Aurora."
"Please, Mario. I----"
"Aurora!"
Mario's voice rose. Aurora stopped crying for a moment which finally left small sobs. With a little force, Mario then grabbed Aurora's body, then led her back to sit on the side of the bed.
"Stop apologizing," Mario said, still looking at Aurora.
Those beautiful eyes looked red and swollen when Mario grabbed Aurora's chin and lifted her up. When their eyes met, soon after, Mario, for the first time after all the drama they'd been through, embraced Aurora again and hugged Aurora tightly.
"I have forgiven you. So, stop crying and feeling guilty," whispered Mario while continuing to hug Aurora's body.
"You deserve to be angry. So far I've really gone too far," Aurora replied, then broke their embrace. "But, I promise, after this I won't repeat my stupid actions again. I love you, Mario. I won't let you leave me like yesterday."
Mario nodded. Then smile. Bringing his hand, then gently stroked the cheek of the beautiful woman in front of him.
"I will never leave you, Aurora. You know that I have always loved you."
"So you're not going to divorce me, are you?"
Mario shook his head. Cupped Aurora's face, then anchored a deep kiss for a few moments. Reflecting the longing that some time before had been restrained. Until satisfied, then returned to speak slowly.
"There's no way I could divorce a woman as beautiful as you," whispered Mario while stroking Aurora's wet lips from the kiss he gave earlier. "Moreover, it took me so many years to fight to have you. It would be such a loss if I had to just leave you. Moreover, you are pregnant with my child here," said the man, pointing to Aurora's bulging belly.
After a long time, Aurora finally smiled again. To be honest, now his heart feels at ease because in the end Mario is willing to apologize and go back to living with him.
"Then, after this you will promise to continue to accompany me?"
Mario nodded. Aurora happily complied. In his mind, maybe a typhoon would hit, there would be a beautiful rainbow that would color his life and Aurora's too.
