Maxine was currently putting ice on the ice bag to give it to Leon.
"Do you want anything to drink?" Maxine asked.
"Can I ask for a Martini?" Leon asked him nicely.
"Sure."
Although it's in the middle of the night, Maxine still served them though she has work tomorrow. This is a crucial time for them that even Violet didn't sleep after receiving the package from Leon. She even quickly went to her room.
"What happened?" Maxine asked Bull after she served him coffee.
"Everything is fine." He reached her head and patted it. "We will continue with our daily training. But let's take a break today."
She nodded at him and glanced at Leon who seemed to be drowsy.
"Go upstairs, baby," Terrence said softly and the couple kissed passionately in front of Leon. After Maxine left, Leon cleared his throat and looked at Terrence.
"We need to discuss something," Leon told him. "Why does Violet need Victor's DNA?"
"She didn't tell you?" Terrence asked, looking too innocent.
"Would I ask you if I don't?"
Terrence sighed and looked down at his coffee.
"I think it's better if you asked Violet. I can't reveal anything about that information. But I guess you already guessed it in your mind. I suggest that you won't say it out loud."
Leon sighed and looked at the juice that Maxine prepared for him.
"Did the two of you already do the deed? You and Maxine?"
"No."
"You were sleeping with her in the same room but nothing happened?"
Terrence grinned and didn't say anything else after it. He doesn't want to share those happy moments with anyone. For the past few days, Terrence taught her how to drive a scooter, car and next, he will teach her son how to drive a big bike. She seemed to enjoy it every day. He also provided a student license for her. That's how he spoiled her.
"Terrence," Maxine ran downstairs. "Your phone was ringing like crazy." She said and extended it to him. Terrence quickly took it and answered Harvey's call.
"Bull," He grumbled and moved away from them.
"Did you know that they are still searching for that woman that you take home?" Harvey exclaimed to him. "You shouldn't have slaughtered those gangs."
"If I didn't do that, she wouldn't have peace." Bull gritted his teeth.
Harvey sounded frustrated from the other line. He didn't regret slaughtering them after he saw how they hurt his girl. He can do it again and again to protect everyone he loves.
"But we are at war now. That gang was one of the Charles Empire's little branches. We are doomed." Harvey exhaled.
"We already cleaned it up."
"Yes, but one had escaped and identified your figure."
"I'm sorry. I will fix this."
"There's no way to fix this. For now, let's focus on our goal. Continue with your training on your girlfriend." Harvey hung up and Terrence turned to his girlfriend.
"Is everything alright?" She asked, looking a little bit worried.
"Yes, everything is alright. I'll be with you soon." He kissed her temple.
She nodded and went back upstairs.
"What are you going to do now?" Leon asked.
"I have to train her more." He grumbled and went upstairs leaving Leon alone in the kitchen.
He takes a quick bath before joining her to their bed. She turned to him and reached his chest.
"You have to sleep." He ran his fingers through her long silky hair.
"I'm fine." She kissed his lips and leaned over his chest.
"Soon after this is over, you don't have to work anymore."
"That's not fair." She pulled the duvet to cover his body. "I know that your mission is very dangerous. I have to work at least."
"I have millions of money and few real estates to give you a luxurious life."
"I don't need that. I can work for a living."
Terrence kept caressing her hair to coax her to sleep. It only takes a few minutes for her to start snoring a little. She must be so tired of working. There were days that she only had four hours of sleep when she told him about her brother's loan just to pay for it.

Harvey just arrived home when he noticed that his wife was sleeping on the sofa in the living room, waiting for him. He smiled and carried her upstairs. His body doesn't feel tired but his mind does. It's hard to be a Captain of the team when one would make an impulsive decision. If Connor and Ian weren't there, it would be too hard for him to handle it.
"You were here." MJ hugged his neck. "How's Tracey?"
"She's fine. Ian is fine too. We will have them move to a safer place. I already reached the Dragon Empire to give her protection."
"I feel bad for Tracey. She was also dragged into this war."
"We can't do anything about that unless they withdraw from that mission. Their main focus is still on Keira and finding Hannah Grace." She opened the door and then she pushed it open with her hand. Harvey carefully put her down on the bed and kissed her lips.
"You've been sleepy lately." He sat beside her and kissed her small bump. "Our baby is growing well."
"Hmm," She nodded at him.
Harvey suddenly looked melancholy. There's a chance that MJ might not live after giving birth. Because of the big damage on her other ovary and marks on her womb, it will be hard for her to have a normal delivery. He partially regrets pushing her into this, but still, it's a big blessing and she promised to take care of herself and her diet.
"Do you want anything before you sleep?"
"Maybe milk." She smiled at him. "Have you eaten?"
"Not yet. But I am not hungry."
She carefully sat up.
"Why won't we have a food trip?"
"Alright, what do you want to eat?"
"We have food in the fridge downstairs. Mom has a lot of dishes in the fridge. We can heat it."
"Okay, I'll check it. Don't get up on the bed. I will take care of everything."
"I start feeling lazy each day if you won't make me move."
He chuckled and kissed her lips.
"It won't take long." He whispered.
He took the tablet with him as he checked the security system of the house. He was always paranoid when it came to the security of his wife. He even monitored her 24-7. She didn't mind at all since she's pregnant and Harvey loves her too much and cared for her. After Harvey left, she decided to prepare his bath. She's been cleaning the house, dusting a few cabinets and furniture. It looks adorable whenever he scolds her for doing that but she knows her limits.
Back in the kitchen, Harvey was heating the chicken buffalo that his mother made for them. He also prepared a beer for him and a soda for her. He smiled at the six pieces of chicken that she would be satisfied with.
He then checked the cameras around the house and pointed them directly to Alessandro's house just across the street. What made him curious is the blinking of the light inside the house. He creased his brows and took the other tablet that is connected to the house. Somehow, Alessandro permitted him to use it. It has a lot of secret cameras around.
He noticed that there's an intruder. He relaxed and continued with facilitating the area. They were searching for something inside. He turned on the audio.
"Did you find it?" The man in a black suit asked the other. "How about photos?" They asked again.
"Find anything about that killing machine!"
"Are you sure that she had a connection with them?"
"The house is near where they found the Baker Couple."
Harvey remained cool and continued listening to their conversation. He won't do any action this time or else it will be too obvious that they are covering up Hannah Grace's existence. They might not be able to enter this mansion since he made every window tinted. Even with the lights on, they won't be able to see that there are people inside.
"I found nothing! How about this one?"
He watched as they took a photo from the picture frame. He smirked at them. They took the bait. Harvey put a face in that photo that was edited. Johanna's face in there doesn't even exist.
He leaned on the counter table and watched as they left quietly. The caretaker of the house was currently out to go clubbing. That's why it's their chance to get in there and search.
Once the microwave oven chimed, he took the basket plate with wax paper on top and put the chicken over it. He smiled at the orangery chicken because of the paprika and other sauces that were mixed on it. Then, he prepared the beer and soda and went upstairs. They already left the area so it's fine if he could get a good night's sleep. As soon as he reached the room and set it up on the table, he frowned at his wife when she just came out from the bathroom.
"Babe, what did you do?"
"I prepare your bath and I pee." She approached him and sat down. "Hey, I might die if I don't move around my body."
"But our baby~~"
"Harvey, I know my limit. Don't treat me like a disabled person."
"Sorry," he bent down and kissed her lips. "You know your limit. You better keep that."
"Yes, sir." She giggled and held his hand.
