Chapter 161 Play Nice for Me

Meanwhile, Aella slept right through the night at his side, not waking up once.

The next morning, she was working with Sayer in the therapy room, giving him a physical therapy session.

The spacious treatment room was filled with a calming scent from a special blend of incense Aella had prepared. In the background, low–frequency overtone music played, creating a soothing and relaxing atmosphere.

Sayer had showered and changed into clean, loose pajamas, lying on the treatment bed.

As Aella got things ready, she asked, “When you bought your place, were there any other units still available in our building?”

Sayer shot back with a joke. “The 18th floor of hell is wide open.”

Aella just nodded. “Focus on your treatment. I’ll invite you over to my place this weekend.”

On Saturday, Aella and Emma made a trip to the farmer’s market and came back loaded with groceries.

When they got home, Tyrone stood in the kitchen doorway in dark lounge clothes.

Aella reminded him, “Go get changed. I’ve got people coming over for dinner.”

Tyrone looked irritated. “Aella, come here. I need to ask you something.”

He turned and went to the living room.

Aella exchanged a look with Emma, put down the grocery bags, and went after him.

Tyrone stared her down. “Why’d you buy that place upstairs on the 18th floor? What are you up to?”

Aella dropped her eyes.

She’d used Tyrone’s credit card for the purchase, so he must’ve gotten the notification three days ago.

He’d actually managed to hold it in until now to ask.

She just gave him a sly smile. “It’s a surprise for you. You’ll find out soon enough.”

She turned to head back to the kitchen, but Tyrone stopped her with a dark look.

They stood there staring at each other, and Aella sighed.

She herded him into the bedroom, half–coaxing. “For now, you’re still my hubby. I’ve got friends coming over tonight. Dress up a little for me, okay?”

Tyrone paused at the bedroom door, his expression unreadable. “You really mean that?”

Aella nodded seriously.

Tyrone hesitated a moment, then went in to change.

By 6 p.m., everything was nearly ready. Aella took a shower and changed her clothes.

Emma came by to ask, “Mrs. Winter, should we use the big table if there are a lot of guests?”

Aella nodded. “And remember to get out a couple of bottles of juice for the kids.”

Emma nodded and bustled away.

Aella went to the study.

Tyrone had been holed up in there for hours. She had no idea what he was doing.

She hesitated, then knocked.

Tyrone came out. “Are the guests here?”

Aella took his arm and led him to the living room. “You’re the head of the house. How can you just hide in the study when we’re having company?”

Tyrone frowned as he stared into her smiling eyes.

He took her hand. “Are you hiding something from me?”

Aella smiled and promised, “I told you, it’s a surprise. Just be patient.”

He stared at her, more uneasy than ever.

It’d been ages since he’d seen her smile like this.

The doorbell rang, and Emma answered it.

Aella saw Brad standing there with a gift and hurried over. “Brad!”

He handed her the box. “Congrats, Dr. Reid. Happy promotion.”

Aella felt a bit embarrassed. “Come on, Brad, I’ll always be your little sister. Don’t tease me.”
