"There you are, I have been looking for you."Alex exclaimed as soon as she spotted Shantal who happened to be staying under the shade of a tree. He then picked his pace and ran towards her side."What are you doing?"He asked her the moment he got near to where she was and he realized what the other party was actually doing.For some reason, Shantal deliberately made her whole body sweat as she do some aerobics in the middle of the day. It was as if she was trying to tire herself on purpose.Meanwhile, when the other party noticed Alex, she stopped what she was doing and while she was still in the middle of catching her breath, she rubbed her belly."I don't really feel good. My tummy is acting up."Shantal dropped all pretense in front of her robot and told him about the truth. However, she did not tell Alex the reason why she started feeling that way.The truth was, the fact that Jodi suddenly brought up their past and even

"Are you saying something? Sorry I did not catch it. Can you say it again please?"Oblivious how her untimely distraction  had been a blessing in disguise for Alex, Shantal asked her robot to repeat his wordsShe happened to get distracted by a flying butterfly before her eyes just as when Alex had a slip of his tongue and that made her missed what Alex just said."It's nothing."Alex replied shortly as he heaved a sigh of relief and thinking that it was really not important, Shantal no longer pursued the matter and put it at the back of her mind.What she did instead was she changed the topic and expressed her gratitude towards Alex.  "Anyway, thank you. If it has not been for you,  I would have been miserable by myself. To be honest, what you just did to me reminds me of my mom. Nobody  has done acupuncture for me since my mom died."Meanwhile, when Alex learned how his action managed to reach a sentimental

"Oh cous, that was so irresponsible of you. Android Partners should at least be charged every other day, or else, they would get grumpy. I remember when the first time I forgot to charge Arvin, he refused to cuddle with me and I ended up spooning my pillow all night."Jodi subconsciously clicked her tongue when she was reminded of that incident."Is that so? No wonder, Alex suddenly pushed me away as if he did not wish to get near me again. It must have been because of his battery. Can I borrow your charger for  while?""Sure thing cous,"Jodi replied right away before issuing a command to her own robot."Go and fetch Alex, then lend him your charger.""Copy that."Arvin nodded his head and without wasting a second he went to the first floor to go after Alex. It did not take that long for him before he got back to where Shantal and Jodi were.Apparently, as soon as he got a hold of Alex, the robot threw him over his should

"Where are we going?"Alex asked Shantal as soon as they were out from earshot. But Shantal did not give him an answer and instead, she just continued to pull him with her.He knew that he was the reason why Shantal snapped out and when he was reminded of what Shantal did for him in front of Arvin, his lips could not help but broke into a smile because having someone on his side who was standing up for him warmed his heart.He was fully aware that Shantal's protectiveness was not personally directed to him, but rather to her robot. She probably did not like seeing her Android Partner being looked down on by others. But despite knowing that, Alex was still moved that the other party was sticking up for him."We are off for a rough start, but the day is still long. I guess it not too late for us yet to plan the thing we can do to spend the rest of it, right?" Shantal beamed at him and seeing the other party trying to act cheerful in front of hi

Shantal brought Alex to the nearby fence and asked him to kill time by feeding the alpacas in the meantime, as she was currently preoccupied with talking to her old acquaintance, Mr. Hamon.He figured that the two seemed to have a lot to catch up so he no longer disturbed them. Also, a  stock of hay was beside him and that was what Shantal told him to feed the animals."Looks like you guys are the only ones willing to play with me."Alex said to the alpaca that was munching some dried grass in from of him."You must be so happy since you have so many friends to eat with. You guys have a way better situation than mine. Could you believe that I even have to go into the trouble of hiding whenever I eat? I am not allowed to eat with anyone in the house as I have to do it in secret."He added as he handed the other alpacas with more food."What? Does it taste that good? Alright, then, eat! Here!"Eventually, Alex started to enjoy what
