Chapter 294 - Getting Hooked

Several maids in Fernando's mansion still seemed busy preparing breakfast for the master and mistress. They had not discussed what happened last night for fear of making the master angry. While they were busy with their respective jobs, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps from the direction of the main door, coming in hastily. Because there was not much activity had happened, the steps of the two guests could be heard clearly by all the maids who were working at the house on their respective sections. 

"Miss Amina, Miss Jenny," said Teddy, welcoming the arrival of the two sisters. 

"Morning, Teddy, I want to ask if Fernando…" 

"Master and Madam haven't woken up yet, after all it's still half past six in the morning. They will come out of the room around eight in the morning," Teddy said cutting Jenny. 

Hearing Teddy's words made Amina and Jenny looked at each other for a while. They both tried to digest the words of the butler at Fernando's mansion.

"So you mean Viona and Fernando are still not awake?" Amina asked quietly, trying to clarify Teddy's answer.

"Yes, Madam and Master are not awake yet," Teddy replied politely.

"Thank God," Jenny said loudly, touching her chest. 

Amina immediately squatted and sat down limply on the floor after hearing Teddy's words. Meanwhile, Teddy, who was confused when he saw the expression of the two sisters, seemed confused by what he was seeing. 

"Are you okay, Miss?" Teddy asked quietly to Amina. 

"I'm fine, Teddy," Amina replied quickly as she accepted Teddy's helping hand to help her gor up on her feet again. 

Meanwhile, Jenny was seen going to the kitchen for a drink.

"You better wait in the family room and enjoy some snacks while waiting for Madam and Master to wake up," said Teddy quietly, as he invited Amina to sit in the family room.

"Thank you, Teddy," said Amina quietly, while sitting on the expensive sofa in the family room of Fernando's mansion. 

"Don't hesitate, Miss. Well, I have to go back to work. If you need me, just call one of the maids," Teddy excused himself to Amina and Jenny, who had just come to the family room. "Yes, Teddy, we understand, thanks again, Teddy," Jenny replied softly with a smile. 

Teddy nodded his head slowly. He then left Jenny and Amina to go back to work. He didn't want his work to be neglected if he didn't get it done right away. Even though Teddy actually didn't have a fixed schedule, he just didn't want to forget anything. Therefore, he often checked back on the work results of his subordinates, whether or not they were done properly. 

Jenny and Amina, who couldn't sleep well all night, finally got up at four in the morning and immediately got ready to go to the shop. Thinking about Viona really made them uneasy. After taking a quick shower, the two of them immediately went down from the 25th floor to the apartment lobby to order a taxi by the security guard on duty. They both did not dare to leave the apartment when it was still dark, because of the high crime rate in the early morning. Therefore, they chose to wait in the lobby and ask the security to order a taxi. After getting a taxi, they went straight in and asked the taxi driver to take them to the muffin shop. 

Arriving at the shop, the two of them were shocked because they could not find Viona, even though the door was still locked tight and there were no signs of crime. While in such confusion, Amina finally decided to invite Jenny to go to Fernando's mansion. They intended to tell the truth to Fernando that last night Viona had actually come to the muffin shop, but because of Viona's request, they didn't dare tell the truth to Fernando, because they had made a promise to Viona. 

Only when they arrived at Fernando's mansion, did they just find out that Viona had actually come home last night. The two of them, who were panicking, suddenly flew to the seventh heaven because they felt relieved after knowing that Viona was already home. The fear and panic immediately disappeared from their mind at that moment. Because Amina and Jenny were still sleepy, they finally fell asleep on the sofa in the living room, holding hands. 

"Mr. Teddy," called a maid to Teddy, who was busy tasting the breakfast that was being prepared at the dining table. 

"What's wrong, Paula?" Teddy asked quickly. 

"Miss Amina and Miss Jenny were sleeping on the sofa, I didn't dare wake them up. So I put the food you asked to prepare for them on the table," replied Paula. 

Hearing Paula's words, the new maid, made Teddy smile. He then turned to the large clock on the wall that showed six in the morning. 

"It's still very early in the morning, so let's just let the two sisters rest. We shouldn't disturb them," said Teddy softly with a smile. 

"Yes sir, I understand," replied Paula, nodding her head slowly. 

She then walked away leaving Teddy to return to his job again. After Paula left, Teddy returned to continue his work that had been delayed. He was in charge of tidying the dining table after the foods were prepared by the maids and ensured that they been served at the table were properly served. 

Working with Fernando for more than 5 years had made him familiar with his master's tastes. Therefore, he would determine in advance whether the foods made by the chef fell into the category of food that the master liked. He was also tasked with checking the nutritional content of the foods specially prepared for pregnant women. 

Viona opened her eyes when she realized there was a large hand that was embracing her body so that she could not move. Her consciousness finally came a few moments after she opened her eyes and could already guess that right now the one in the room and the hand that was hugging her was her husband's. 

A flash of memory that happened yesterday afternoon finally awakened Viona and broke her smile. She clearly remembered that yesterday afternoon she had ran away from the driver to calm herself down and ended up at Amina and Jenny's muffin shop. Finally, she decided to go home because she felt a little guilty to Fernando. 

Viona slowly tried to release Fernando's hand which was curled up in her stomach. After some careful efforts, she was finally able to break free from Fernando's grip and replaced her body with a pillow for Fernando to hug, so that the man wouldn't wake up when he realized he was hugging empty air beside him. 

After successfully escaping from her husband, she then went slowly to the bathroom to clean herself. She was not ready to talk to her husband and received various questions that her husband would ask. What was in her mind right now was to get out of the room as soon as possible and go to the first floor to enjoy the fresh air in the garden. 

Viona bathed quickly because she was racing against time. When she came out of the bathroom, Viona smiled because she saw that Fernando had not changed her sleeping position, she then walked towards the room where she kept clean clothes without thinking Viona then grabbed some comfortable clothes to use before leaving the room. 

"Good morning, Madam," said a maid to Viona, who had just come out of the room. 

"Morning," Viona replied kindly, smiling, and continued her steps towards the stairs.

She couldn't wait to calm down in the garden. When she reached the first floor, Viona smiled when she saw the food was prepared on the dining table neatly. 

"Madame, wait ..." said Teddy to Viona, who was going to walk to the garden. 

"What's wrong, Teddy?" Viona asked quietly. 

"Your sisters are here," said Teddy briefly. 

"What do you mean?" Viona asked again. 

She was still traumatized when Teddy announced the arrival of Amber and her other orphanage sisters a few weeks ago. 

"Miss Jenny and Miss Amina came here since half past six in the morning. They both are currently in the living room, waiting for you, and fell asleep," Teddy replied softly. 

Viona's chest immediately felt tight when she heard Teddy's words. Without a word, she immediately walked to the living room and could only stunned when she saw her two siblings sleeping on the sofa soundly. Guilt immediately went to Viona, because she made her two younger siblings came to her place early in the morning. 

She then sat on the sofa and wiped the tears that came out of the corners of her eyes. When she was about to reach out to touch Jenny's hand, suddenly she was petrified when she realized there was a big hand already gripped her shoulder. A touch that she could already recognize. 

"Don't you owe me an explanation, Babe?" Fernando said coldly in a hoarse voice, indicating that he had just woken up. 

"Do you want to talk here or in the room?" Fernando asked again. 

Because he never got an answer from Viona, his patience finally ran out. He then walked over to Viona and lowered his body, ready to carry her, but she immediately moved to try to avoid him. 

"I can walk alone to the room," Viona said quietly, refusing Fernando. 

Fernando, who was still crouched, raised his face and looked at Viona who was already walking towards the stairs. 

"Don't provoke my limit of patience, Viona, I won't forgive anyone who dares to hurt my son," Fernando said to himself.

His eyes staring intently at Viona, who was walking up the stairs to their room on the second floor.
