Joshua had sstuff to handle, so he took off after a bit.

Meanwhile, Allison and Joy headed over to Peyton's room to give her a fabulous makeover. Peyton beamed at her

reflection. "Allison, Joy, I've never seen myself look this pretty before!"

Allison gave her a gentle pat on the head. "Go find your brother now."

"Okay!" she nodded excitedly.

Back at Allison's place, Joshua got a call from Mills. They'd managed to snag the project in South America that

Chris was after, leaving Chris in a real bind. Mills warned Joshua to watch his back because Chris would soon find

out Joshua was behind it all. Even though Chris was in South America, he still had people working for him in the

States.

After hanging up, Joshua turned to Allison with a serious look. "Allie, there's something | need to tell you."

Noticing his tone, Allison sat up straight. "What's going on?"

"As you know, my dad has another son, Chris. My grandparents keep him out of the Fisher family, so he had a

rough tin South America. He ended up being taken in by a powerful crboss there. Over time, he's built

his own empire and even has a private army."

Allison gasped, "Does that mean you're in danger? Joshua, be extra careful!"

Joshua paused, feeling a wave of warmth. He pulled her close. "Allie, it's notI'm worried about, it's you. You

mean the world to me, and I'm scared he might go after you to get to me."

"Go after me?"

"Yeah, it might be tough to takeon directly, but you're my weak spot. If he targets you, I'm afraid..."

Allison hugged him tightly. “Don't worry about me. I'll be fine. Didn't you already assignextra bodyguards?

Plus, this isn't South America. Chris doesn't have the reach here, right?"

Joshua frowned, "He's got people here, too. The men who tried to kidnap Lizzy at the engagement party were

Chris’ men."

Joshua insisted, "Wherever you go, make sure you have your bodyguards with you."

Allison replied, "Alright alright."

They snuggled on the couch for a while until the doorbell rang. Joshua got up. “I ordered in."

Allison grinned, "When did you order? It's perfect timing. | was just getting hungry."

Joshua walked to the door, saying, "On my way back from the hospital."

"So thoughtful."

Joshua had ordered from a fancy five-star restaurant nearby, known for its unique dishes. Spotting the

restaurant's logo on the bag, Allison looked at Joshua, intrigued, "Don't they only accept dining in?

Joshua chuckled, setting the table. "If you want it, they'll make an exception."

Allison eyed him suspiciously for a second, then it clicked-it was no delivery for regular folks, but Joshua wasn't

just anyone. She sat at the table, fork in hand, and eyes shining.

She was genuinely starving, having missed both breakfast and lunch. The table was laden with a feast. The

beautifully presented dishes, bursting with flavor, were all of Allison's favorites. This place was known for its high

prices and small servings, but the flavors were out of this world.
