"Wh-what do you mean? We never discussed that," Silas blurted out before he could stop himself.
Ayla glanced at him, a faint smile hovering across her lips.
"Honey, I feel so guilty for leaving early this morning. I should've checked on you before heading to work, but I had so much to do I rushed out without doing so."
"You have no idea how much it means to know someone's willing to take care of you in my absence."
"Though, not everyone would want to look after someone else's husband so weird rumors won't come up. So I won't be disappointed if Miss Simmons turns me down."
As she spoke, her gaze flickered toward Elena just in time to catch the hopeful glint flash across her eyes.
"I will! I will take care of him!" Just as she suspected, Elena hurriedly stepped forward as soon as Ayla finished her sentence.
At this, the corner of her lips twitched happily.
She was sure of it now.
