Valen For You's

Trust you

Mall

Alden was very uncomfortable walking with Zoe. For some reason, Alden felt a difference from Zoe's behavior towards him. As of right now, Zoe has no qualms about skinship with Alden. If he wanted to stop by somewhere, he would hold Alden's arm.

"Alden, Dad said I should give you a nice suit." Zoe takes Alden to an outlet that provides official clothing.

"No need, Miss. I still have a suit at home." declined Alden politely. Being a subordinate should make Alden hold back his emotions and humble himself a little.

Zoe didn't seem to care. He still chose the Suit on the hanger that was suitable for Alden's figure.

He took a blue dongker suit. Then, after that Zoe also chose a tie that suits Alden.

"Perfect" he said proudly after blending his options in Alden's body.

Just like Valen, Zoe has a good taste in choosing clothes.

"We'll just wrap this one up." Zoe handed everything she chose to the servant standing next to Alden.

Alden took a long breath. Zoe did not ask for his consent. This is so weird.

While waiting for Zoe to pay, Alden stepped aside to call Valen. Alden was worried because Valen was a little unwell this morning.

"Hello, honey. Is your body still hot?" alden asked as soon as the phone picked up.

"Little bit. But I've been compressed with cold water."

"Do we need to see a doctor?"

"No.No. You just work, Den. I'm fine."

"Okey, I'll ask for permission to go home soon. Get well soon dear."

"Den. come." Zoe appeared in front of Alden with a few paper bags.

"Den, it's like I heard Zoe's voice. Are you with Zoe?" valen asked in a probing tone.

"Let me explain, baby." Alden hurriedly hung up. Actually he was confused to answer Valen's question. Alden agreed with Valen if they should be as open and honest as possible. So, Alden didn't want to hurt Valen and lie to him anymore.

"Sorry Den's. I didn't know you were calling Valen" said Zoe Lirih.

"It's okay Zo. I was planning on telling him about my job." Alden picked up Zoe's paper bag, then walked out of the outlet.

"Alden, wait." Zoe ran with her wedges.

Just as Zoe was about to grab Alden's shirt, Zoe slipped and sprained her leg. It was fortunate that Alden quickly caught Zoe's hand, so that she could hold on to Alden.

"Aww. my legs." cried Zoe in pain.

"Why run, miss?" alden asked in annoyance. How not to be upset, if Zoe goes to the mall with shoes wedges high enough. And Zoe didn't actually have to chase after Alden, because the man was walking around casually.

"Den, sick."

"Yes. Let's just go home, Miss." Alden took off Zoe's shoes and grabbed them. After that, Alden took Zoe's hand, then put it on his shoulder. He could only pick up Zoe and had no intention of holding Zoe.

"Slow down Den" said Zoe, looking at Alden, who looked panicked.

The two of them were unaware if someone took their picture with their cell phone.

Not getting an answer from Valen, Alden checks Valen into his room. Valen seemed to be asleep on his back to the door. Alden sat on the side of the bed to check on Valen. He's got Valen's forehead. Valen's body isn't hot. Alden can breathe a sigh of relief now.

"Darling, I brought your favorite cheesecake. Do you want to eat?" alden whispered in Valen's ear. He did not forget to kiss Valen's cheek gently.

There was no response from Valen. But Alden realized Valen wasn't sleeping. He could see Valen's tears flowing down the pillow.

"Val, what's wrong with you?"

Valen opened his eyes. He could no longer hold back his words. Ever since Alden walked into the house, Valen had actually been crying. Valen was just pretending to be asleep so Alden wouldn't see him crying.

"Val, are you crying because of me?" Alden helps Valen to get up and lean on the head board.

Valen's face showed that Alden was the main cause of crying.

"So Sandra saw you with Zoe at the mall" Valen said in a flat tone. He took a cell phone on the nightstand, then showed a photo to Alden.

Alden tried to stay calm. He has learned a lot to practice his patience.

"Yes, I did go with Zoe. I'm sorry." Alden bowed languidly and did not dare to look at Valen.

"You're really mean, Den." Valen looked at it with a soft look.

"But can I explain something first?"

The woman in front of Alden was silent.

"I work with Zoe's father." I'm Alden.

"So, you work with Zoe's father?"

"You remember meeting an old man at the hotel while following me?" "He's Mr. Stevenson, aka Zoe's father."

Valen recalls his meeting with Steve. He really doesn't believe Steve is Zoe's father. Zoe never told me anything about her family, except about her mother.

"But why don't you tell me?"

"Sorry, Val. I'm afraid you're embarrassed because I'm just Mr. Steve's driver."

"Alden!" valen's voice sounded like lightning.

Alden knows if he talks like this, Valen will be angry and disappointed in him. But Alden had no other choice. If he covers this, his household with Valen will get even more fractured. Obviously Valen will be jealous of Zoe again just as Valen was jealous of Milka.

"Yes, you're just mad at me. I can't work properly and properly." Alden's ready to accept Valen's nagging. But Valen's reaction was just the opposite. He hugged Alden tightly.

"Den. I know you're doing your best for me and our son." Valen was crying in Alden's arms. "Thank you."

"So, you believe that I didn't mess with Zoe?" Alden stroked Valen's hair.

"Yes, I trust you." That's all Valen can say. Valen doesn't want to make Alden down by scolding him or being jealous of him.

If they had done nothing wrong, Alden probably would not have worked hard like this and was already one of the owners of Husada Hospital.

"I'm so lucky to have you, Val."

Alden was of course relieved that now there were no more secrets he had hidden from Valen.
