Exes' Baggage And More

Chapter One Hundred Forty Three

Suddenly Macy's breath caught. This might be Katy's plan that Hani talked about. But yesterday the lawyer didn't mention that Marcus would be involved. No, her son can't be involved. Her son must not be touched! Katy can't hurt Marcus! The woman must not hurt her son.

"Mace? Hey, love? Mace, focus on me, baby. Macy!!"

Andrew cupped her face and tried to wake her up. Shit, the man might have to find a better word to tell Macy. Even though it was impossible because no matter how he used to tell Macy, her reaction would always be the same.

"Love, listen to me. Mace, I won't let Katy hurt Marcus. I will protect him. We will protect him," Andrew coaxed her.

Macy finally looked at him with a blurry vision. "M-Marcus... Andrew? My son..."

Andrew then pulled Macy in his arms tightly.

"I know, love. David already told the Detective about the email. They will trace the IP of the email and catch the person before they can hurt Marcus. We will protect him."

Macy then pushed Andrew's body and grabbed her cell phone and tried to call Ken. She needed to protect her son.

"Ken? Ken, where is Marcus?"

"Macy? Marcus is taking a shower. What is it? You sound panicked."

Macy took a breath. "Listen, can you go to your parents' house? I don't want just you and Marcus alone. Please, stay at your parents' house for a few days. O-or... you can stay here. At my apartment. It would be much better."

"What's wrong, Macy? Calm down and explain to me. Why did you ask me to... what happened?"

"Katy!" Macy exclaimed. Her hands were shaking as she held the phone. And Andrew wasn't sure if he could touch the woman just to calm her down. At times like this, the worst thing is that she will reject him.

Macy suddenly stood up and walked away from Andrew. "She still has other plans. Her accomplices... they will hurt Marcus. Please, Ken. I just want my son to be safe."

"Okay. I'm going to my parents' house. We will stay there for a few days. Don't worry, Macy."

Macy thanked him several times before hanging up the phone. Andrew thought she would be a bit much calmer. But no, the woman seemed to be contacting someone else again.

"Hani..."

And with that phone, the woman walked away leaving him who was still in the living room to enter her room. Andrew took a deep breath and rubbed his face.

This was probably the reaction he had predicted. However, seeing his lover who went away from him, he still felt sick.

After five minutes, he went to Macy's room. It's dinner time. No matter how worried his girlfriend is, she still needs to eat. And when he opened the bedroom door, he saw her sitting on the bed. He smiled and he heard Marcus' name being called. Well, it seems that after contacting the lawyer, she again contacted Ken to talk to her son.

"Uhm... don't be naughty at Grandpa and Grandma's house, okay? Mommy will meet you tomorrow. I promise, honey. Listen to what daddy said at all times. And never talk to strangers, okay? Bye, honey."

Then Macy hung up the phone. She threw the phone on the bed and cupped her face in her palms. Andrew then approached her and knelt in front of his lover.

"Is Marcus okay?"

Macy nodded. "Ken will take him to his parents' house. At least if there were other people, they would..." she didn't continue what she was about to say and just sigh.

Andrew touched her head which was bowed in front of him. "Sorry, I should have been able to tell you about this in a better way."

Macy slightly raised her head to look at the man. "At least you told me. Thank you."

"We will protect him, Mace. I will protect both of you."

The woman nodded slightly. Then she grabbed Andrew's shoulders and hugged him tightly. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders and buried her face in her lover's neck. Andrew can still feel Macy's body shaking. He returned the hug and rubbed her back gently.

"I will protect you, Mace. Trust me. I won't let anyone hurt Marcus or you."

"Thank you, Drew. Thank you."

Andrew let go of his hand a little reluctantly. But his knees started to hurt and they had to eat dinner. He looked at Macy then smiled faintly. He rubbed the tip of the woman's nose.

"Do you want to eat something?" he asked as he stood up half holding his leg cramps.

Ouch! Well, he's getting old.

Macy shook her head. "I have been eating too many desserts."

"But at least you need to eat something. Sandwich?"

Macy sighed. She has absolutely no appetite at the moment. And it's true, during her meeting with Hani and Jared, she ate too much dessert. It was Jared who wanted to bring something for his wife but because it was their first time at the café, they had to try some desserts before the man chose to buy two strawberry cheesecakes and three slices of cappuccino cake. So, if Andrew asked her to eat again – even if it was just a sandwich, she would probably throw up.

Andrew touched her head and rubbed it gently. She raised her head. Then she leaned against the touch of the man's warm hand.

"Mace?"

Macy grabbed Andrew's hand from her head. With both hands, she gripped her lover's big hand. She smiled faintly as she stared at her boyfriend's hand. It feels so different. Not long ago, she held and let go of Ken's hand but now she had no intention of letting go of this hand.

Andrew himself didn't say anything, other than letting the woman stare at his hand. Touched it gently, as if his hand was easily hurt.

"Hey, love..."

Macy looked up. She saw Andrew who smiled at her, then kissed her forehead. She closed her eyes, feeling the touch of his lips. The man had kissed her many times, but she always felt the sensation of every kiss that he gave was always different.

Fuck! She never even had the same experience when she was with Ken.

Without realizing it, she tightened her grip on the man's hands. Then the next second, Andrew realized that Macy pulled him until he fell onto the bed and his lover moved to be on top of him.

Andrew's eyes widened at Macy's spontaneous action. However, he could see that something was different. The woman stares at him. He took a deep breath, before reaching out his hand to touch his lover's face. She closed his eyes, feeling every touch of his palm. She kissed the big hand.

The next second, Macy opened her eyes and looked back at Andrew closely. She lowered her body slightly so that their faces were closer. She can smell the man's cologne which is so distinctive. She really liked the smell. Maybe she can ask him about the brand of cologne later. She then dropped her body completely in her lover's arms and buried her face in his neck.

Andrew sighed. Feeling the weight of Macy's body pressing his body on the soft bed. He wrapped his arms around the woman's body. Holding her tighter.

He smiled and kissed the side of her head.
