BXBX NOVEL Chapter 246 Scared
"Woah ho, calm down." Owen pulled him back. "We have to meet Daniel at the lobby first."ﾂ�
"Great, you guys continue with whatever you people want to discuss, I will go upstairs and catch up with the girls." Elsa took her hand bag from Justin\'s hand. "Don\'t take too long."ﾂ�
Justin nodded. "Take some rest, okay? We have to visit your grandma later."ﾂ�
"Why do you keep reminding me that?" Elsa frowned before walking away.ﾂ�
Justin sighed and helplessly shook his head. "You people are so sensitive when it comes to matters like these, especially Elsa. If not for Rachael, I don\'t think she would have come here."ﾂ�
"Who would have?" Owen scoffed. "We are here only for Rach."ﾂ�
"The city is so much better," Ben remarked. Though he didn\'t show it, he was also very bummed about leaving Tina alone all of sudden, especially when things had started getting better between them. But he had responsibilities which he couldn\'t neglect for personal pleasure.ﾂ�
"Do you really like the city or you are extra fond of it because of Tina?" Justin raised his brows.ﾂ�
Ben awkwardly cleared his throat. "You can say that."ﾂ�
While the three men were having their conversation as they waited for Daniel, Andrew was talking to Rachael over the phone.ﾂ�
"I am outside the hotel."ﾂ�
"You are here?" Rachael exclaimed. "Wait for me窶能"ﾂ�
"Don\'t come down, it\'s very chilly." He stopped her. "You will catch a cold."ﾂ�
"Oh okay, why aren\'t you coming up?" Just like him, even she was dying to see him. She knew he was mad at her and she deserved it as she was clearly at fault this time.ﾂ�
But she had made up her mind to do whatever it takes to coax her husband.ﾂ�
"I have something to discuss with Danile first," he answered. "Is Kate with you?"ﾂ�
"Yes, I am in her room."ﾂ�
"Stay with her, Elsa will be there soon," he instructed. "I will come and fetch you as soon as we are done."ﾂ�
Before he could hang up, Rachael stopped him. "Wait窶能"ﾂ�
"What is it?"ﾂ�
Contemplating for a while, she asked, "Are you mad?"ﾂ�
When he did not say anything, she started feeling anxious. Whenever Andrew was mad, he locked all his emotions and turned silent.ﾂ�
"Andrew窶能"ﾂ�
"Let\'s talk about it when we meet." He interrupted her.ﾂ�
"Okay."ﾂ�
After hanging up the call, Andrew joined the group again.
A few minutes later, Daniel joined them too.ﾂ�
"You guys are finally here." He gave everyone a hug including Ben. "How have you been Ben?"ﾂ�
"I am good sir, what about you?"ﾂ�
"You know, I am always great," Daniel exclaimed. "And since Kate is back now, I am more than great."ﾂ�
He then looked at Andrew. "We will be invading your place for a few months. I wanna show Kate everything there and窶能"ﾂ�
"You sound like a teenager who cannot wait to spend the spring break with his girlfriend," Justin chuckled.ﾂ�
"I know right?" Daniel exclaimed. "It\'s not my fault, whenever I am with her, I feel so excited."ﾂ�
"So you two are gonna fly back with us?" Owen inquired.ﾂ�
"That is the plan." Daniel looked at Andrew who was extremely quiet. "What\'s wrong with you? Why are you so silent?"ﾂ�
"It\'s hard to say," Justin whispered. "We don\'t know if he is mad with Rachael for lying or with grandma for kidnapping her."ﾂ�
"Andrew窶能" Daniel sighed and placed his hand on his shoulder. "Don\'t be too mad with her, she is already a little traumatised. I am sure this is her first kidnapping so窶能"ﾂ�
"And now coming to my mom and your grandma, we will deal with her accordingly. You know how she is, she will do anything to force others to do what she wants," he added. "We have to deal with her accordingly."ﾂ�
Owen and Justin nodded in agreement. Everyone was aware of Helen\'s sly moves.
"Being angry with her is not gonna do anything, you will just make her feel down and you will get upset too." Daniel patted Andrew\'s shoulder. "So be good, go upstairs and hug your wife."ﾂ�
...ﾂ�
[Kathleen\'s room]ﾂ�
"Why did you do that, Rach?" Elsa sighed. "Do you know how worried we were?"
"I am sorry, I窶能"
"Especially Andrew," she exclaimed. "He didn\'t even sleep once during the entire flight. He was so worried."ﾂ�
Rachael pursed her lips and sighed. "I shouldn\'t have done that." She grabbed Elsa\'s hand. "You guys had to go through so much trouble because of me."ﾂ�
"That\'s not a problem." She gave her a hug. "I am just glad you are safe."ﾂ�
"When I heard about it from Dan, I was so scared," Kate sighed.ﾂ�
"Luckily uncle Dan was here," Elsa remarked. "Otherwise imagine you staying in the mansion alone with grandma."ﾂ�
"That\'s a nightmare," Kate scoffed. "Please don\'t tell me since we all are here we have to stay there."ﾂ�
"I guess," Elsa shrugged her shoulders. "I really don\'t wanna go back there but we don\'t have a choice."ﾂ�
"That\'s true."ﾂ�
Just then Andrew stepped into the room along with Daniel.
Rachael quickly got up when she saw him.ﾂ�
When their eyes met, she nervously bit her lower lips. She wanted to say something but couldn\'t find the right words.ﾂ�
Andrew on the other hand also did not tell her anything. He kept looking at her and only looked away when he had to greet Kathleen.
"How are you?" He gave her a hug.ﾂ�
"I am okay." She patted his back. "Are you fine?"
He sighed and nodded.ﾂ�
"Don\'t be too upset with her, she is already worried," Kate whispered before pulling away.
"Alright, I\'ll go to my room now." Elsa got up. "I\'ll see you guys later."ﾂ�
Before leaving, she asked Andrew. "When are we going there?"ﾂ�
"After I am done dealing with a few things," Andrew answered as he looked at Rachael.
...ﾂ�
[Rachael and Andrew\'s Room]ﾂ�
As soon as they entered the room, Rachael took the coat from his hand and placed it on the couch.ﾂ�
"How was your flight?"ﾂ�
"Good," he answered as he unbuttoned his shirt. He then sat on the bed and rested his back on the headboard.ﾂ�
Rachael contemplated for a while before sitting right next to him. "Are you tired?"ﾂ�
Without anything, Andrew pulled her in his embrace.ﾂ�
Burrying his face on her neck, he took a deep breath and sighed as he tightly wrapped his arms around her.ﾂ�
"Andrew窶能"ﾂ�
"I was so scared, Rach, so scared." He tightened his grip around her.ﾂ�
"I am sorry, I should have told you." She knew he was worried because of her. If she had told him the truth, nothing of this sort would have happened.ﾂ�
He pulled away and rested his forehead against hers. "Never keep things away from me, especially things like this."ﾂ�
"Rach, you are very precious to me. If anything would have happened to you, I wouldn\'t be able to take it," He kissed the back of her hand. "You have to stay safe for me because I won\'t be able to live without you."ﾂ�
"I promise I will never do this again." She cupped his face and pressed her lips against his.ﾂ�
...ﾂ�
[Kathleen and Daniel\'s Room]ﾂ�
"Done with your work?"
"Hmm窶能" Daniel caressed her back. "I am trying to finish up everything as soon as possible. I want to give you all my attention when we go for our vacation."
Kathleen smiled and buried her face on his chest. "It\'s been months since I had all your attention."ﾂ�
"I know," he sighed. "You have been busy with work and so have I."ﾂ�
Daniel frowned and looked at her. "We have really neglected each other babe, we have to make up for the time we have lost."ﾂ�
Keeping quiet for a while, she contemplated for a while and said, "Dan, I want to talk to you about something."
"What is it honey?" When she did not say anything, he looked at her. "Hey, you know that you can talk to me about everything, right?"
When she nodded, he said, "Then feel free to tell me what is in your mind."
Keeping quiet for a while, she remarked, "I want us to try IVF one more time."
"Kate窶能"ﾂ�
"Listen to me first." She cut him off. "I feel like this time we will窶能"ﾂ�
"I think we have had this discussion already," Daniel stated. "I told you this before and I am telling you this again, we are not doing it."
"Dan窶能"ﾂ�
"No Kathleen," He frowned. "I love you and I always listen to you but not this time."
"You have to understand that more than anything in this world, you are more important to me," he added. "I am not letting you do that to yourself for the fifth time."ﾂ�
During their four unsuccessful IVF attempts, he had seen her suffer physically, emotionally and mentally.ﾂ�
And the worst part was, he could do nothing about it.ﾂ�
