"Good morning, Nana."
"Good morning, dear. Are you feeling alright now?"
"Yes, Grandma. You don’t need to worry about me anymore."
"That’s good," she said warmly. "I got tickets for a concert, so I saved them for you and Alexander."
I sighed inwardly. Nana was definitely trying to play matchmaker again.
"Nana—"
"No excuses," she cut me off. "I’ll talk to Alexander. He can’t refuse. I’ve already sent the tickets to you, so just get ready."
I smiled helplessly. "Okay, Nana. We’ll be there."
"Good. Take care, alright?"
"Bye, Nana."
After the call ended, I checked my messages and saw the tickets. The concert was near the mall.
I went downstairs and found Alexander already seated at the table.
"Good morning," I said quietly.
"Morning."
There was a brief silence before he spoke again.
"The police have caught the people from the lake incident. They want you to come and confirm everything."
I paused, then nodded. "I understand. I’ll go after breakfast."
"Why didn’t you tell me something like that happened?" he asked, frowning, concern evident in his voice.
I looked up slowly. "Tell you what?"
"That you were threatened. That something like that happened."
I held his gaze.
"It wasn’t important."
His brows furrowed. "Not important?"
"What would telling you change?" I replied calmly.
"Alicia—"
I cut him off, my voice still quiet—but sharper now. "where were you when it happened."i questioned.
Silence.
Something flickered in his expression.
. "Why do you always shut me out when I’m trying to care for you?"
I couldn’t hold it back anymore.
"During the celebration, you left because of one call from Lilian," I said, my voice tightening. "You had the whole night to call me, to check on me, to show even a little concern—but you didn’t."
I looked straight at him.
His jaw tightened.
