H.U.R.T
Tooth Fence

Harry could not delay his return today. His job and appointment are waiting. Cannot be represented at all. At Pax's request in particular, Lexi temporarily stayed with them because Alena still missed him so much.

Harry understood that, at the Palace, he would also not be able to accompany Lexi and their wedding had not been held there and about the wedding that had taken place here, had not been officially announced. Many things must be prepared if you want to hold a wedding at the Palace.

But before he discusses it with Lexi, he must carry out his state duties that have been piled up first as a form of responsibility. It was also impossible for him to bring Lexi along with him. Lexi is back, his wife certainly needs enough attention and rest. There were a lot of things he wanted to ask Lexi, but he had to put it off for a while. Lexi's back in good health, that's what's most important right now.

"I'll finish my job immediately. I'm also sorry I had to leave you for a while."

Lexi smiled, understanding what Harry said. "It is precisely I who thank you that you have given me permission to be here for a while."

"Isabel is here too. I promise I will finish my job quickly" he concluded.

Lexi nodded her head. "I'll wait. We have a lot to talk about."

"You're right."

Lexi and Isabel drive Harry away until the man's car disappears.

"I'm glad you're here" Lexi and Isabel went back inside the house.

In the main room, his family was still waiting. Pax, who continued to interrogate Austin, was silent after Lexi and Isabel sat down to join them.

"Hi, Bebel," Austin frowned, astonished at the girl's presence. Oh, my God, where's his attention from. Isabel is transparent until she is unaware of the girl's presence.

Isabel was not upset and hurt at all. His heart jumped up and down in excitement as Austin realized his presence and greeted him.

"Ha-hai," awkwardly the girl also waved her hand. Just a split second, then he pulled his hand and remessed it firmly on his lap. He also lowered his head, not knowing what he was hiding because Austin only greeted reasonably.

Maybe Austin was the only creature there who didn't realize she was groggy. But considering Austin is a woman lover, it is highly unlikely that he is unaware of it. Maybe the guy just doesn't want to bother bother about it. After all, Austin felt that he was not doing something that led to seduction or temptation. Austin acted as a gentleman in front of Isabel.

"When are you here?"

Austin deliberately invites Isabel to speak to avoid Pax, who signals them to go to his father's office. Austin ignored the code.

It's not that he doesn't understand his father's intentions about his sister Lexi's future, but it's still that Steve's actions are wrong no matter what reason he's hiding Lexi. He also supports Lexi and Steve, but that doesn't mean they have to put Harry's feelings aside. Austin is convinced that Steve is not a man who will be silent without fighting until the end and he knows that the man has not considered all this to be over.

The struggle is not only about men, but also about women. In the eyes of Austin, Steve has fought very optimally. He gave four thumbs up on the former brother-in-law that did not happen. He thinks it's good that Steve reorganized his life. Fighting for what you do not want to fight is a futile act.

If Lexi feels the same way that Steve feels, according to Austin, it would be fairer if it was time for Lexi to fight for the man. And if Lexi doesn't feel the same way, let Lexi make things clear. Whether Steve or Lexi, everyone deserves to be happy and has the right to choose the path of life.

"Since two days ago."

CK! For Austin it was a question of stale base. But for Isabel, the question was a very sweet form of attention.

She thought of my comfort, Isabel whispered in her heart.

"Friendly, very comfortable." Isabel smiled widely, showing off the colorful tooth fence that stretched across the row of teeth of the girl.

Austin's forehead wrinkled, "Your toothpick is so funny."

"Fence?" Isebal asked in confusion.

"I mean braces," Darren, who had been focusing on the phone screen, chimed in without taking his eyes off the flat object in his hand. Meanwhile, Lexi, who also heard the word fence from Austin, angrily threw a sofa pillow at her brother.

"It looks like a fence," Austin defended himself when he was spotted by his parents. "And I think the fence is very funny. There's color. I wonder if there's a rainbow of colors. It might be fun."

Again, Isabel interpreted Austin's speech as a compliment. What the girl caught from the line Austin said was just a funny word. For Isabel, something funny is something interesting that gives entertainment and happiness to the people around her. Funny, to him is another word of adorable.

"I've never seen him before, I'll ask that question when I visit my dentist, Aus."

Austin nodded his head then stood up, "I'm so tired. I'll soak for an hour and maybe take a break. See you at dinner." He passed Lexi and ruffled her hair.

Isabel could have expected something similar. The girl also wanted someone to rub her head like that. No one had ever done it other than Harry and it was also very rare as they could only meet occasionally. And if Harry's mother sees her, Isabel will be the object of the woman's anger.

Isabel had to swallow the disappointment of Austin passing her by.

"I think we should get ready, Isabel. Have you contacted Odelle?''

Isabel nodded, "He said he would get there in time. I'll go to the room to get ready, "And Isabel said goodbye to Pax and Alena to retreat. As he was about to say goodbye to Darren, he noticed the man was in focus, so he undoed his intentions and immediately passed without greeting the man.

"Mom, do you want to come with us, to the salon. I need to get a little bit of my hair done." Lexi asked Alena as she moved away from her place and forced her to sit between her parents.

"You said you missed Mom's cooking so much. Mommy will cook all your favorite meals. Next time we'll go together."

"Tell us, honey, why do you need so much time to get back home?" Pax really couldn't help but hold back his curiosity. Austin is not a man to compromise with. Finally Pax decided to ask the subject directly.

"I forgot everything, Dad. Nolan's family took good care of me. And now I'm here in good order."

"Nolan family? Wasn't... Uhmm, I have to meet them to express my gratitude as much as possible."

Holy hooch! What's wrong with me? Why is Steven Percy haunting me!
