Unexpected Encounter: A Second Chance at Love-Chapter 253 Dangerous

"Rach—"

"Don't say anything Andrew," she interrupted him. "I am so mad that I will actually throw you out of the room."

Andrew: " "

When she tried to walk away, he grabbed his hand. "Rachael, why are we fighting over someone who doesn't mean anything to us or our relationship?"

"Alina is just an immature crazy woman and I swear on you babe, I have never even looked at her properly." He was trying to convince Rachael. He didn't like when they fought, he had to fix everything as soon as possible.

"It's not about her being all crazy Andrew," she snapped at him again. "It's about you hiding everything from me."

She jerked his hand away. "A woman has been sending my husband's gifts and flowers for so many months and I learnt about it today. That too not from him."

"Who told you about that?" Andrew frowned. It was true that Alina hadn't stopped sending gifts and flowers even after he moved countries and got married. And he knew she would never stop even if he told her so he told the guards to throw them away as soon as they received anything from her. That was the best he could do.

"Does it matter?" She scoffed. "You didn't tell me."

"Because it's not important." He sighed and tightened his grip around her hand. "Why would you want me to tell you that a crazy girl is sending me things?"

He was sure that even if he told Rachael about Alina, she would get mad. So to avoid unnecessary drama, he chose to hide it.

Rachael sighed and sat down on the edge of the bed. "It's just weird, okay? I tell you everything but you don't. It's like you don't think I am strong enough to handle it or maybe you think I am too weak."

"Hey, it's nothing like that." He knelt down in front of her. "I just don't like bothering you with things that don't matter, which includes crazy people stalking me."

He kissed the back of hand. "And for the hundredth time, Alina means nothing to me. She has always been out of the picture even when you were not there. I never ever even had a slightest thought of taking things forward with her or giving her craziness a shot."

"In fact, she has always irritated me," he added.

"But your grandma probably thinks she is the best one for you."

"And do you think I care?" Andrew scoffed. "Babe, I know even you don't care what she says anymore."

"It's not like that. I do care about what she thinks," she sighed. How could Rachael not care? Helen was Andrew's grandmother after all, she was his family.

"You do know that I don't love anyone in this world as much as I love you, right?" When she nodded, he remarked, "Then you have nothing to worry about. You are the only one for me and that will never change even if I die."

"I know you will never look at another woman, I trust you. It's just—" Rachael contemplated for a while before saying. "She is crazy about you Andrew. I mean, she hasn't even stopped even though she knows you are married. What if she—"

Understanding her concern, Andrew assured her. "She is not gonna do anything, okay? You don't have to worry about anything. Just trust me."

"I do but—" Rachael had seen many crime series and movies which included a crazy lady who obsessed over a taken man. She had also read many thriller and crime novels which had the same plot. "Women like her can go to any length to get what she wants. I am telling you Andrew, you might be taking this lightly but it can be very dangerous. Ignoring her is not the solution to the problem."

"Alright, I'll figure something out." He kissed the back of her hand again. "I will also block her number so that she doesn't message or call me anymore." ƒ𝚛𝐞𝚎𝑤𝘦𝚋𝓷o𝚟e𝘭.c𝐨𝙢

"Okay." When she tried to get up, he pushed her on the bed before pinning her down.

"Now this is unfair." He caressed her cheek with his thumb. "You gave me a cold shoulder last night and this morning. Where is the compensation?"

"I have to get ready." Rachael glanced at the watch. "It's almost twelve, the guests will start coming soon."

"And why do we have to care about the guests?" Andrew raised his brows. "They are just a bunch of people we don't care about."

When she did not say anything, he asked, "Now what is it?" She shook her head. "Come on, you know I will not let you go until you tell me."

"Aren't you worried?" She nervously bit her lower lips. "Aren't you worried that they will not like me?"

"Yes," he nodded and Rachael's heart sank. "I am worried that they will like you too much." He frowned. "I don't want them to pay us a visit back home every now and then. I prefer having you alone. We are still in the honeymoon phase, you know?"

"Look at the two of you—" Owen chuckled. "You two made up."

Andrew frowned and quickly got up. "Don't you have the courtesy to knock?"

"Well, I would have knocked if you had the patience to close the door," Owen remarked. "And I also wouldn't have come here if your phone wasn't off."

"Why is your phone off?" Rachael inquired.

"I turned it off last night." Andrew walked towards the drawer and took out his phone.

"Anyway, I am sorry to break your romantic moment but we need you down Andrew."

"Rach, I'll be back soon." When she nodded, he stepped out along with Owen.

...

[Outside]

"What happened again?" Andrew curiously questioned Owen. He wouldn't have come to his room looking for him if it wasn't something important.

"Daniel told you about the man who is working in disguise with Riftan Ginovesse, right?" When he nodded, Owen added, "Well, he is not working with him anymore."

"What do you mean?" Andrew frowned.

"The man is dead."
