Fort wasn't surprised. Many women had tried playing smart with him. Listening to that guy speak,confirmed how evil and malicious humans could be.

He got to know that Peat was framed.The guy wouldn't stop bragging.
-"I told you that sooner or later Jeff was going to leave you. Aren't I smart?He didn't even give you a chance to explain yourself. Doesn't it show how little he trusted you?How weak your relationship was?I practically did you a favour. See how you landed a billionaire."

Peat inhaled and exhaled.He was tired of listening to Lionel speak. Part of what he said was true. He kept hitting the nail on it's head.He just wanted peace of mind.

-"So you know what happened and why Jeff changed?"Peat asked curiously.

"Maybe. Who knows,I might have played a huge part in it,"Lionel replied.

"Well,I hope you're happy,"Peat said and walked out of there.

Lionel watched while smiling as Peat rushed out of there. He had won but lost at the same time. Unknown to him,Jeff had heard everything. He had followed after Peat to find out if it was true that he was dating the billionaire.

To his shock,he had learned a bitter truth. He couldn't confront Lionel at that particular time without evidence. His heart ripped to shreds as thought of Peat's innocence being proven.

He composed himself and decided to deal with the ruckus later after the guest were gone.

Fort took them to an amusement park. It was Shawn's turn. Aria liked it too. She had seen how low Peat was. Between the brother and sister,they made a promise to change Peat's mood.

Sure enough,Peat was laughing and enjoying himself. They went on every ride. Fort only took pictures. He was surprised at himself when half of the captions were Peat smiling.

It was almost 8a.m when the decided to head home.
"I hate you much less now,"Aria said as she bumped her shoulder with Peat.

"How lucky,"Peat replied sarcastically.

They laughed together. Fort who was behind them couldn't help but smile. He was carrying Shawn who was fast asleep.

"Are you guys hungry?"Fort asked.

"No,"they replied in unison.
-"I'm watching my weight,"Aria explain.

"Well I'm watching my abs,"Peat said.

"Seriously?is that a thing?"Aria asked.

They started arguing and competing at who was in better shape.

"Dad,who do you think is in better shape?Me or Peat?"Aria asked.

Fort was overjoyed that Aria was involving him in a conversation. She had a pretty smile on. Her eyes were hopeful and he knew his answer.

"Ofcourse my princess. She is a beauty. The next supermodel,"he replied.

"Meanie,"Peat said. He wasn't sad but elated after watching the glow in Fort's eyes. The bright smile on Aria. He was glad to have stumbled upon such a family.

They arrived at the parking and instead of going with the limousine,Fort asked one of the guards for the BMW keys.

"I'm driving. Lets go."

They were so happy all the way home. Fort would steal glances at Peat who was looking outside the window.
"Are you okay?"Fort asked.

"Yeah. Thanks for earlier. I know it was pretty hard to kiss a man. I'm sorry for putting you in search a situation,"Peat apologized.
