Joe was ordered by Aiden to stay with Aurora and the others. Aiden was about to go to Henry's office to discuss the reward his team deserved.
He succeeded in his mission yesterday, so Henry should tell Aiden about the location of Gerard's group of Knights.
By knowing Gerard and his team's location, it would be easy for Aiden to learn the Tempering Body skill.
Aiden left with Helen by his side. Upon arriving at Henry's study, Helen immediately opened it without knocking first. How surprised they were to see Henry and Rose hugging, not kissing.
When the door opened, Henry and Rose looked shocked. Both of them reflexively released their hugs from each other, the situation was so awkward.
Helen, however, had no objection to Henry and Rose's relationship. Their mother had died when Helen was just a year old due to illness. Helen's bond with her mother wasn't very well formed, which is why she easily accepted Rose.
