Andrew was at a loss for words. He didn't expect that Alveena would be brave enough to confess her feelings. But what shocked him more was the fact that Alveena already had feelings for him.
Andrew became more problematic about this. He didn't know what to do nor what to say as of this moment.
'This is my fault. I should have stayed away from her but I couldn't!' Andrew scolded himself inwardly.
Alveena was sincere. He could feel it and he could see it in her eyes. Maybe, if there was no Hannah in his life, then maybe Andrew would be so happy right now hearing this love confession from Alveena.
'Damn! Andrew, say something!' he was urging himself to speak up but he had no words to say. He was really overwhelmed by what was happening right now.
He was put in a very complicated situation. Alveena was an amazing woman. He couldn't afford to hurt her feelings but he didn't have the right to accept her feelings either since he was still committed to Hannah and he thought he still loved Hannah.
When he asked for a cool-off, Andrew was not thinking of breaking up with her. He just wanted to give her time and space to figure out her feelings. Besides, he believed that Hannah would still choose him since Tristan was already married.
He didn't want to give up their six years of relationship. Aside from that, he also felt responsible for Hannah as he already claimed her. He was her first. Andrew was still cherishing those moments with her.
As much as possible, he didn't want to betray Hannah because he knew the feeling of being betrayed.
'But you already kissed Alveena several times! It is the same as betrayal, right?' Andrew's alter ego spoke to himself.
Alveena was still waiting for Andrew to speak up when suddenly someone approached them.
"Andrew!"
Alveena and Andrew turned in the direction of that voice. Andrew's eyes widened in surprise the moment he saw that very familiar face. The color was drained on his face because the person who arrived was none other than Hannah.
Hannah had returned to the City of Empire this morning. She attended an event where she participated in an exhibit, showcasing her paintings. She heard that the Davis Family attended the Big Gala.
As soon as her event was finished, Hannah went to the big dome to see Andrew and the Davis Family. She also saw the live broadcast a while ago when Tristan finally introduced Zhen-Zhen to the public as his wife.
She couldn't help but feel annoyed seeing Zhen-Zhen acting very close to the Davis Family. Aside from Tristan, Hannah also wanted to protect Andrew from Zhen-Zhen. She wanted to warn Andrew to stay away from Zhen-Zhen.
When Hannah entered the big dome, she met Lucas and Isabelle. They told her that Andrew was outside together with Tristan, watching the fireworks display.
After thanking Andrew's and Tristan's parents, Hannah went out again to find Andrew. It's been so long since the last time they saw each other.
Now that she was back, she would try to fix her relationship with Andrew. In her mind, that's the only way she could protect the Davis Family from Zhen-Zhen.
She could not speak right now and revealed the truth about Zhen-Zhen's power but she would never stop gathering proof and evidence so that the Davis Family would believe her. Her friends were also looking for someone whom she thought could help her fight Zhen-Zhen.
Hannah got tired of searching for Andrew. She saw Tristan and Zhen-Zhen but she didn't approach them. It was one of the Davis Family bodyguards who told her where he saw Andrew was going.
After several minutes of looking for him, finally, she found Andrew. But he was with someone. She didn't know who was the stunning woman in her red dress standing in front of Andrew.
They looked like they were having a serious conversation so Hannah decided to get their attention by calling Andrew's name.
Andrew felt like he was being punished right now. Who would have thought that Hannah would come at this moment? He didn't even have the chance to say something to Alveena.
'Why now? Why did she have to appear now?' Andrew was asking himself desperately.
He didn't know what to say. He just moved his gaze back and forth between Alveena and Hannah. Alveena was looking at him with a questioning gaze. She had no idea about Hannah's identity.
It did not take long when Hannah reached their spot. There was a moment of awkward silence. Andrew had already released Alveena's face the moment he saw Hannah. He felt like he was caught in the act.
"Andrew, what are you two doing here?" Hannah was the one who broke the silence.
Hannah watched Alveena, eyeing her from top to bottom. She couldn't recognize her since this was the first time she met this woman.
"Are you not going to introduce us?" Hannah had spoken again.
Andrew subconsciously clenched his fists. He couldn't look straight into Alveena's eyes. He was worried and very anxious right now, not because Hannah saw him with Alveena but because he was afraid of what would be Alveena's reaction once he introduced Hannah to her as his fiancee.
It did not take long when Hannah walked closer to Andrew. Then she held his arm, facing Alveena.
Alveena had a bad feeling about this. She tried to calm herself, staying silent. She wanted to hear Andrew.
After his long silence, Andrew finally found his voice to speak up. Without looking at Hannah, he introduced her to Alveena.
"Hannah, this is Alveena, my personal assistant. Alveena, this is Hannah... " Andrew paused for a moment. He was having a hard time completing his words.
Andrew clenched his fist and looked away. He couldn't meet Alveena's gaze.
"She is Hannah, my fiancee."
Alveena felt like her world crumbled and her heart broke into tiny pieces after hearing those last words from Andrew.
'What… is this true? Andrew is already engaged? And… she is his fiancee…'
