I don't want to misunderstand your kindness~

After coming out of the police station, somehow Haura felt her breath hunting, her heart pounding—as if she had just expended a huge amount of energy to deal with something. Undeniably, the trauma he had due to Delarosa's treatment of her all this time, as if it caused a deep incision, and now Haura bravely replied to all the words of her former father-in-law. Recalling how Delarosa mistreated her, made her heart apart. It made Haura angry and more vengeful.
Alden still grabbed Haura while walking slowly down the stairs, he was still worried because he thought Haura might still be shocked at the attack that Delarosa made on him.
Haura broke free from Alden's embrace. "I'm fine. You can let me go."
There was no other option—besides releasing Haura, Alden obeyed whatever the woman said this time, and would not intervene in anything that came out of his mouth.
"Why have you come this far for me, Alden?" Haura's question made Alden gasp. "You're so nice to me, you're so worried about me, what for?"
Alden was silent for a moment. It was as if he was sorting out the right words to answer Haura's question.
"I did that, just because you were my contract lover," she said. Alden was too afraid to declare his love for Haura, not for anything. He was just afraid of his love clapping one hand, only in this way he could get close to his lady puja, without having to be afraid of anything, even rejection.
"If that's your only reason, don't make me have more taste, or wish you—because of the truth. Our relationship is just a job, nothing more. You don't have to do anything like that, introduce yourself as my fiancee, that's too much."
To be honest, Alden was a little offended by Haura's words, but he remembered about the attack. It's possible that Haura is being traumatized or whatever it is, which obviously Haura looks like she does not want to be disturbed at this time.
"Let me go home alone." Haura walked alone, stopped the taxi that happened to be passing by, without looking at Alden, and made the man silent for a while, until the taxi just left.
Alden's stupidity is, he never dared to say his love for the woman he had longed for. The woman who made herself tremble since she first met in High School. Haura is famous for being beautiful first, she is one of the school flowers that many students target. He used to want to declare his love for Haura, but before he got there and met the girl. Alden was confronted by a group of upperclassmen, and beaten to the ground because they knew Alden was carrying chocolates and a letter addressed to Haura, they intimidated Alden, and said—Haura was a beautiful girl, and Alden is a lame young man who does not deserve to pursue Haura's love, and certainly Haura will reject him outright.
Alden ruffled his hair in frustration, a cowardice embedded in his brain, making him sooner or later lose Haura, which he had painstakingly grasped.

While waiting for a police investigation, Delarosa turns into a prisoner, while Alila, who is not proven to have participated in the Haura attack, witnesses her status. Delarosa herself did not think out, if Haura could have the strength to lock herself in prison.
"Who is that woman with that demonic woman?" hissing Delarosa, his narrowed eyes showed anger that he could not cover up.
"What?!" delarosa couldn't cover up her shock.
"Was that man really influential in this city?" Theo chimed in, curious.
"The Walsh— family is not a careless family, they have power that is not playful, and they are really very respected."
Delarosa gulped in an explanation from Alila, her favorite daughter-in-law whom she had always been proud of. If it were, Delarosa would have to stay in prison for a long time.
" Is it that dangerous to deal with them?" Theo tries to pry information about the man who claims to be his ex-wife's lover.
"Yes, they really do have access to anything, and your Mama is in danger, so Alden could have paid the best lawyer, so he really wants to put you in jail."
Delarosa's eyes sharpened in disbelief, the rotten woman had access to know an important person like Alden, what he did—so that the woman also completely changed her appearance.
"Oijah... Theo, tomorrow you and I are going to the hospital," Alila asked, remembering Haura's words, telling her that Theo was barren.
"For what?"
"To check your fertility, is it true that the woman said, if you're the one who's actually barren."
"For what? Don't you trust my son?!" Delarosa was restless again, she was afraid that if it was true what Haura said, if it was actually Theo who was barren, not Haura.
"For the test, if it's true that Theo can't have children, then I should be able to get a man better than your son!" Alila turned around and left the police station.
