The Engagement

"Aiden, can you see?" Asked Maria in surprise. How did Aiden know that Nico grilled two fish? Had Aiden's eyes recovered? Could he really see again?

Maria's eyes looked hopeful as she asked this.

"I can smell it." Aiden said casually.

Maria's face immediately turned pale when she heard Aiden's answer. The hope in her eyes immediately dimmed and she said sadly, "I think your eyes have recovered."

"I'm used to being like this." Aiden took his fork and stabbed the fish in his plate. He deliberately stabbed the plate so that it almost fell to the ground to convince Maria that he really hadn't recovered.

Anya realized that Aiden was pretending in front of his sister-in-law because he didn't want to give false hopes. Aiden's eyesight could get worse at any time so it was better for them to hide this first.

She immediately took the fork in Aiden's hand, "I've worked hard to cook it. You have to finish it. Let me feed you."
