Arthur came back to the room and Maria asked ' What are you doing?'
Arthur said ' Let's go from here'
Maria said ' What why we can't'
Arthur looked at her sharply and said ' What do you mean?'
Maria said ' We can't go like this'
Arthur replied ' We can and we will'
Maria went near him and held his hand and made him sit on the bed and said standing in front of him ' She is already hurt and seeing her like that aunt felt bad that's why she must have brought her here you can't be so rude na'
Arthur looked at her and said ' Are you stupid? Do you think they were real thieves? It must have been planned by her to act hurt in front of mom and make her way up here'
Maria said ' She doesn't look like old Rachel, maybe she has changed, lets just give her a chance'
Arthur said ' such people never change, she was evil and she will always be evil'
Maria sat on his lap and said ' then we should be even more here, to keep aunt safe we can't trust her then'
Arthur was silent and she continued ' You are aunts only son, she must feel lonely na, just hearing you were injured she left her work and came here and seeing you happy she is staying with you so you should stay with her, I don't want you both to fight because of me'
Arthur sighed and placed his head in the crook of her neck, breathing her scent which calmed him down and he said ' What good did I do to have met such a good girl like you, Maria'
Hearing it Maria smiled.. and Arthur said ' But she might hurt you'
Maria smiled and said ' So, I am very strong like a lion, I can protect myself see' saying she showed her bicep…
Arthur laughed seeing it and shook his head tapping her forehead he asked ' A lion?'
Maria nodded and said ' Yes a powerful one, I can even bite'
Arthur smiled and said ' Okay then show me, the lioness of yours'
Maria nodded and went close to his neck and opened her mouth to bite him, but in the end, she didn't have the heart to hurt him and she kissed his neck and said ' For you, I'm just beauty'
Arthur chuckled and hugged her tightly…
Maria said rubbing his back ' So, we ain't going na'
Arthur said ' Before I decide that you need to promise me a few things'
Maria nodded and Arthur said ' You won't bear any bad behaviour from her and if anything she does you should tell me and I will take care of her. You should always be alert around her and keep a safe distance…
Arthur gave many instructions and Maria nodded and told him that she will remember them and follow them…
Arthur nodded and said ' Let's go '
Maria was stunned and he understood it and said ' Let's go will have breakfast outside and then go to the office '
Maria nodded and did a few touch-ups and then went down with him…
Olivia and Rachel heard the footsteps and stood up and Arthur just went past them without even talking, Maria looked at Olivia awkwardly and said ' He is just mad, nothing else, we ain't going anywhere and as for Rachel she can stay…
She was about to say something more and she heard Arthur's voice ' Maria come fast'
Maria, hearing it hurriedly, went out…
Olivia sighed hearing it and she was both thankful and impressed by Maria as she knew her son's anger and Maria subdued it so easily, she smiled thinking she was right in her decision choosing Maria over Rachel…
Rachel looked at Olivia's impressed smile for Maria. She fumed and thought she would remove her…
Olivia said ' See everything is fine now, you take care of yourself okay come let's have food, I will be at home today with you'
Rachel hid her jealousy and nodded and they went to have food…
Arthur and Maria were in the car and it was completely silent...
Maria had sympathy for Rachel, even though she became an orphan at a young age and she thought Rachel had changed.
Arthur was in deep thoughts, the first news about Francis, though he knew he must be planning something that confirms he is, but also he is very much ahead of him and now this Rachel's arrival…
They stopped at the restaurant and went in and sat down and Maria ordered his favourite good for him and the food was served…
Seeing him eat silently, she said ' You don't like eating with me'
Arthur who was thinking all of sudden his thought broke and he said ' What?'
Maria said ' You don't like eating with me? Sitting as if i have put a gun on your head and made you do it'
Arthur shook his head and said ' There's nothing more in the world I desire than you with me'
Maria smiled and placed her hand on his and said ' Don't worry, everything will be okay'
Arthur nodded and said ' Hope so'
Then they had their breakfast while Maria talked mostly and Arthur hummed and nodded his head…
After paying they left the restaurant and went toward the office….
Well will Maria be able to save herself?
