After taking care of the hospital release procedures Aria and Ace left the hospital . They entered the car and headed towards home . Aria was still angry at her brother . While driving Ace noticed that Aria was looking outside the window , avoid every contact with him .
" Sis , why are you so angry with me ?! It's not like I didn't want to tell you ..it's...just that ...I ..I ...." said Ace .
" You what ?!! " asked Aria angry .
" I didn't wanna make you sad ! I didn't want you to hate me !" said Ace .
" Sad , Hate ?!! "
" Yeah ! I know how much you love the Cambridge royal college . It has always been your dream to go there and I ended up wining the tech contest there . It seems like I took away your dream from you and I feels terrible . They said that I may have the possibility to enter ' Cambridge' after I finish high school but don't worry, I made up my mind to not accept . " said Ace with a bit of a worried tone . He loved his sister a lot and he knew that her biggest dream was to go there but instead of her , the opportunity was given to him . He felt really happy when he received that first place there but at the same time sad .
He looked at Aria again and saw that her expression hadn't changed. It took two minutes to arrive at their house and the moment Ace stepped out of the car Aria told him to stop right there . She raised her hand and flicked Ace's forehead.
" Hey !! That hurt ! " said Ace while holding his forehead with his hand .
" Sure it will , you deserve it ! You're the stupidest person I have ever meet in my whole life ! " said Aria super angry .
" What ???" asked Ace confused .
" How could you think that I would be sad , jealous and start to hate you only because you achieved something that I have only dreamt of achieving in my life ?! Don't you know me ?! " said Aria pissed .
" But ..but it's your dream. " said Ace surprised.
" Ha.... how in the world did you win that competition with this kind of thinking ?! I am starting to doubt if the judges did their job correctly . " said Aria while sighting.
Ace was trying to figure out what his sister was actually trying to say .
" Listen to me carefully, cause you're a grown up and I have no intention of saying this twice.
You're my precious little brother who I love a lot and I would never hate you you for this kind of thing . I was angry only because you didn't tell me and kept it a secret from me . I am not angry , instead I am very proud of you . I feel really lucky to be the sister of such an amazing hacker like you . Sis will always support you in every situation so never say such things again . You're more precious to me then a stupid royal collage ! Don't ever forget that ! " said Aria with a warm expression while patting Ace's shoulder.
Ace's eyes became a bit teary and his smile was so big as if he had won the lottery.
" I love you a lot sis ! " said Ace with a warm tone .
"Me too , little brother ! Me too ! " said Aria . Both of them hugged each other and then hurried inside the house . Now that this issue was solved , Ace and Aria couldn't wait to give the good news to their mom . Please visit fr𝗲𝙚𝔀e𝙗𝓃oν𝐞𝑙. c𝚘𝘮

" Aria , Ace welcome back my dears ! Come dad is at the living room watching TV and Aden is in the kitchen helping me prepare lunch . I am baking some cookies. " said Keith , Ace and Aria's mom .
" I love it when you pronounce the word ' kitchen and food ' mom . It makes me very happy. " said Aria with a dreamy face while thinking of the delicious thing her mother was preparing.
" Your food loving habit sure hasn't changed my dear daughter . " said Keith while laughing.
" It's hasn't changed mom , it just increased in amount. " said Ace and then Aria kicked him in the stomach .
The three of them started to laugh and then Aden came .
" Aden , sweetheart come here ! Come to sister ! " said Aria with a cute tone .
When he saw Aria ,Aden rushed towards her arms .
" Aaaaaaa.....da....aaaaa " said Aden .
"I missed you a lot little Aden . Sister loves Aden the most . " said Aria while lifting him up and kissing his sweet and a bit chubby cheeks.
" It seems like he missed you too Aria ." said Keith .
" Little lion . " said Ace and patted his head softly. Aden laughed . Aria released him from her arms and he went to the kitchen . While seeing Aden that went Aria's gaze gasped her mom's sad expression .
" What's wrong mom ? " asked Aria a bit worried.
" No nothing ! It's just that ...your aunt called and said that she won't be able to come for vacations this time . " said Aria's mom with a sad tone . She had a great relationship with her sister and it was hard for them due to the fact that she was married in Germany and lived in Berlin with her husband and daughter. She came sometimes for vacations but still it was hard to come and go .
" Actually, about that .... I suggest you don't be sad mom cause we will go there and even stay for a whole month . I assure you that you will be spending all the time with aunt Bana shopping to your heart's content. "
Keith remained stunned when she heard what her daughter said and then looked at Ace to see if it was a joke or not . Ace was smiling while nodding his head .
" Are you serious Aria ? " asked ms Keith .
" Yes mother ! I am ! " said Aria while smiling and hugged her mother .
" But the expenses ..." said ms Keith cause it would cost a lot to go there .
" Don't worry about it and leave it to your daughter . "
" Where did you get that much money missy ?! " asked ms Keith in a suspicious tone .
" Remember the case I have been working on lately . I did a great job and saved my temporal boss a lot of money. To show his gratitude to me for saving his precious company he will pay all the expenses of this family trip also Aden's medical visit with the best doctor in German ." said Aria in a proud tone .
" Really ?! Is it true ? " asked ms Keith smiling .
" Yes it is but ..."
"But ??? "
"But unfortunately we will separate cause I won't be going with you but with the vice boss . Don't worry about the guide cause you will take their private jet and go straight in Berlin accompanied by a guide . " said Aria and then looked at her mother . She thought that she would be a bit sad that she wouldn't depart with them but unexpectedly her face expression was totally different.
" A boss who is willing to pay fo this expensive trip and medical appointment requires my daughter to accompany him when going there and not letting her depart with her family ...hmmmm well done daughter, keep this up . " said ms Keith with a smirk .
" You're suspicious ?! .... I tell you , don't imagine weird things . " said Aria in a serious tone .
" What do you expect me to think then , in this kind of situation ?!!! "
" I cannot deal with this . Ace explains to mom everything from the beginning ! " said Aria with a sight and prepared to leave .
" Fine but where are you going now sis ? " asked Ace .
" I am going to fill my stomach ! " said Aria and then went to the kitchen where the meal was almost ready .
Ace went with ms Keith to the living room to explain the situation to their dad too . While they started to chat Aria was waiting for the cookies to be baked . While waiting she decided to eat something from the table .
" Finally some real food ! I was going on a hunger strike in that stupid hospital . " said Aria and started to eat to her heart's control the delicious food prepared by her mother .
