171 Twist: Alan behind everything

"Aria, what's wrong? Why are you crying? Did anything happen at work? Did anyone bully you?..."

He didn't get a response to any questions as he carried on asking.

He took Aria out when she lowered her cry.

Levi passed her laptop as he cued her with his hand to Aria. The latter nodded her head in understanding.

Aria didn't speak until they went to bed.

Alan wanted to ask her to sleep because the wedding and wedding reception would be very tiring but seeing her mood he answered all her questions, spoke about the wedding, calmed her, coaxed her, and cuddled her to sleep.

He got up and went aside to make a call after some time, "Where did Aria go today?"

He heard a response and chided them in low tone clenching his teeth, "When the f**king hell were you thinking to inform me?"

He continued to talk and didn't notice Aria was awake whose tears were rolling down. She bit her finger hard to avoid making any sound as she wept.
