She Flash-Married To His Rival novel Chapter 7

Moira hopped next to Aiken, who had already seen Alfie and Claire, and the smile on his face was immediately gone.

Moira dragged his sleeve, "Dad, I want to go home."

Aiken looked down at his daughter, his eyes welling up. "Okay. Let's go home."

Alfie wanted to chase after Moira, but Claire had been apologizing nonstop. He had no choice but to stay and comfort her.

"I'm sorry, Alfie. I messed up again," said Claire.

Her words made Alfie feel more annoyed by Moira. "It's not about you. She was mean to you," he said.

'It's not like Claire chose depression. And Moira is responsible for her current state.' thought Alfie. He got this serious look when he was thinking about the past.

He stopped talking about Moira in case it irritated Claire again. "You must be exhausted from your early flight. Let me take you back to your hotel so you can rest," he said gently to Claire.

Claire discreetly looked at Alfie and nodded. "Okay."However, a smug smile ticked up on her face, and Alfie didn't see. Her weakness and docility were gone.

*****

Moira was discharged from the hospital today, which was good, but running into Alfie and Claire ruined the day.

After sending Moira home, Aiken returned to the company to attend a meeting. He had been absent from work for a month to look after Moira.

Juliet helped run the tub for Moira. Moira hadn't taken a proper bath for a month. Also, she could use a bath to wash off the bad luck she got from Claire.
