Chapter 353: What if he is not who you think he is?

~Seattle area~

When they woke up on Friday morning, Sarah was not sure what to say to Aiden. He was getting ready with her to go for a morning training even though Stella told him that she will not train him.

Sarah was not sure if she should comfort him, or to discourage him, or… she really didn't understand what made Stella act the way she did. Sarah went last night to talk to Stella about that, but she was not successful in getting any answers.

"Don't worry about me.", Aiden comforted Sarah when he saw her troubled expression. "It can be another test. For my resolve. Whatever it is, I will not give up."

…

Sometimes later, Stella is practicing with Sarah, and Aiden is sitting on the ground nearby, watching them.

"You can go and work. I will not train you now." Stella told Aiden without looking at him.

"I know you have your reasons. You don't need to work with me. I will watch." Aiden was persistent, even though he didn't understand what made Stella change her mind.
