Dennis wanted Alden to submit willingly to him but he was unconscious and he did not want to take advantage of his sweet little love.

Dennis cleaned Alden's body and dried his clothes. After drying Alden's clothes, Dennis put it back on his body.

At this moment, Dennis withdrew his hidden THIRST of love, hate And revenge as he carried Alden back and carefully put him on the sofa in the hotel lobby. He hid himself but his eyes were only on Alden's face.

Dennis waited for Alden to wake up. As he told the receptionist to follow his words like - 'The receptionist found Alden falling outside of the hotel and took him inside it and waited for him to get his consciousness back'.

A few hours late, it was very late at night and Alden woke up as his eyes hurt when he looked around the surrounding.

"It's STRANGE", Alden murmured in his hoarse voice as he clearly remembered that it rained out of the Mall. How did he end up inside the hotel?

Alden looked at his whole body and took a deep breath that his coat and bags were all there, and she had nothing to do.

Alden was relieved.

Seeing him awake, a waiter stepped forward and said, "Sir, you finally awake. We helped you when we saw you faint at the road outside of the hotel before? How are you feeling now?"

Alden's cheeks heated up as he was a little embarrassed and she said, "Thank you. I am fine. I am leaving now "

"Sir, you can stay here. It's already middle in the night", The waiter said to Alden.

But Alden's heart quickened as he remembered what happened with the company and at this moment, he wanted to see his mother.

Alden smiled stiffly as he got up and left. He touched the clothes on his body and looked a little wet and not dry.

"I don't know how long i fell asleep and my clothes are dry. I wonder why I am not able to remember what exactly happened? But someone was there. I felt a presence behind me. Did I lose my memory after getting wet and unconsciousness? Fortunately, it's a blessing not to meet a bad person", Alden ran out of the hotel while his mind was talking to him.

Dennis who did not appear before him was still sitting there while hiding his face behind the newspaper. Alden did not pay attention to him as he rushed out of the hotel.

Dennis then stood up and paid the manager a heavy amount and walked out of the hotel. He sat inside of the car and followed Alden without catching his attention.

Alden checked his phone and found  that most of the call he received was from Park Eun Woo, Alden immediately made a call to him.

On the other end of the phone, Eun Woo's voice was groggy, "Hey Alden, Where are you? Peach was still waiting for you"

"Oh , I am sorry. Something came up. I will be home in half an hour", Alden said in apologizing tone.

"It's okay. Come to my house. I made dumplings this morning. Would you like to eat it?", Eun Woo asked him.

Even though Eun Woo couldn't see it, Alden still nodded hurriedly and replied, "Okay, thank you, Eun Woo. I am famished as well".

Eun Woo on the other end of the phone said, "Waiting then".

Alden pursed his lips, and dialled his mother's number. He cautiously waited for her to attend the call.

And at last, His mother picked up the call and Alden took a deep breath of relief, "Mom"

"Alden? What happened? Are you fine?", His mother shot back to back questions at him.

Alden shook his head and sighed weakly, "Mom, i called you so many times but you did not pick up my calls"

"Denny Baby, Mom is sorry. I was occupied with some legal procedure. You know that we are finally bankrupt now. We do not have any properties now. We are equivalent to a beggar" , Katherine Richards said and her tone was broken and gloomy.

Alden closed his eyes and said, "Mom, never do this again. I was scared to death. Do not think about what we lost. Just think about what we have and how to save it as well".

His mother laughed the whole heartedly, "My Son is all grown up now. Huh?"

"Mom, I'm 24 years old", Alden pointed out and his mother snorted softly, "Okay, Okay".

"Take care Mom", Alden said and Katherine Richards sighed weakly.

After Alden hung up the phone, he took the subway and exactly half an hour later, he stood outside of Eun Woo's house.

Eun Woo opened the door and smiled warmly at him. Peach came running and Alden patted Peach's head and smiled crookedly as he asked Peach, "Enjoying your meal at your Godfather's house. Huh? Was it delicious?"

Eun Woo laughed and Peach whinned. Alden looked at Eun Woo who was heating the dumplings.

They have troubled Eun Woo many times, so Alden directly upgraded Eun Woo and asked him to be a Godfather of Peach, to show the close relationship between the two of them.

Eun Woo's dumplings were already out of the pot and As soon as he walked out of the kitchen, Alden smelled the attractive fragrance of dumplings.

Alden couldn't help sighing, "Eun Woo, you are too virtuous."

Eun Woo sneered, "It's all right, I know. Pour vinegar and eat first"

Alden used his hands first. Picking up a dumpling and putting it directly in his mouth.

He asked in a vague voice, "What about you? And Peach?"

Eun Woo said, "I made noddles in the dinner. I gave a piece of chicken and a bowl of milk to Peach"

"Okay", Alden said as he  took a bite of the dumplings, only to think that his tongue was about to fall off.

He did not like the taste of vinegar at all. He dipped the dumplings into the soya sauce and ate it.

While eating, Alden did not forget to mention the text messages he got from Iris to Eun Woo.

"Eun Woo, I may have really caused a big deal" , Alden said and Eun Woo looked at him bewilderedly.

"I got messages from a friend that Sara, Luca and their friends are looking for a chance to trouble me", Alden said and Eun Woo frowned deeply as he understood it.

"But where were you?", Eun Woo said and Alden's mind quickly went back to the incident.

"Today is the most strange day of my life. My mom's company is bankrupt now and I also faint outside of a hotel while coming back to the house. It was raining heavily that time" , Alden said and Eun Woo looked worriedly at him.

"Take care of yourself. You don't need to be so cruel to yourself", Eun Woo said as he knew that Alden was a pampered child and he would not tolerate the harshness of life.

Eun Woo then stood up and came out with another pot of dumplings.  The bowl was put on the table, and then he asked, "These rich people are really brainless. Don't they have any work apart from making another person's life hell?"

Alden chuckled and said, "Well, These rich second generation people were troubled by me. So they want to take revenge now."

Listening to him, Eun Woo immediately felt worried when he heard the words, "How can they do it?"

Alden was actually a little worried in his heart but he still said lightly, "It should be all right, Can they find where I live now?"

As soon as Alden finished saying this, there was a violent bang in downstairs.

The voices were loud, and the room they were in, seemed to shake.

The dumplings Alden was holding were all dropped. Peach stood up and hid in Alden's arms.

Both Alden and Eun Woo stared at each other. Alden pursed his lips and looked up at Eun Woo who was also blank like him.

"What was this... just now?" , They spoke in a confusing tone at the same time.
