Too Late Mr. White! I'm Married To Your Rival Now novel Chapter 162

Aria's POV

Through the car window, I sawLiam open his mouth, wanting to say something but finding himself speechless. How ironic - three months ago he ran away from marriage for Sophia, and now he was running away from marriage again for me. If he didn't return to complete the engagement ceremony tonight, I would surely become the target of everyone's attacks. Aiden's words hit right at the heart of the matter, leavingLiam with no room for excuses.

He suddenly didn't dare look at me, probably finally realizing what a joke he had become.

Aiden snorted coldly and strode to the driver's seat, pulling open the door and getting in. I had already obediently fastened my seatbelt, sitting properly like a model student, waiting for him to drive me away from this farce.

He turned to look at me, those deep eyes making my heart skip a beat. He reached out and gently ruffled my hair, his voice low: "Let's go home."

God, why did these simple three words make my cheeks burn? "Let's... let's go home," I stammered in response. Tonight's events were already complicated enough; I didn't want to get involved in more trouble.

"Alright." He started the engine, and the black Bentley smoothly pulled away from the hotel, quickly disappearing into the night.

I had barely eaten any food at the engagement party, so after returning home, the housekeeper had specially prepared some food for us. After filling my stomach, I wanted to chat with Aiden, but this workaholic went into his study to handle business again. With no choice, I had to return to my room to rest.

I had just changed into my pajamas when there was suddenly a knock at the door.

Opening it, the familiar woody fragrance hit me, and my breathing immediately became rapid: "Aiden?"

He stood at the doorway, handing me a delicate small box: "A business trip gift."

"Thank you!" I excitedly accepted it, thinking it was the mango candy I liked.

"It's not mango candy, couldn't find any," he said.

I had just untied the ribbon and was about to open the box when I heard this and immediately felt a bit nervous. Thinking of the expensive gift from last time, I felt this small box suddenly become incredibly heavy.

"What is it then?" I asked quietly.

"Take a look."

I carefully opened the box to find a Leo constellation ornament. So cute! So lifelike!

"You're a Leo, right?" he asked.

"Yes."

"Mm." Aiden responded, his gaze falling on my eyes, his expression becoming deep.

I put away the little lion and thanked him again: "Thank you, Aiden. I really like this little lion."

"Good that you like it." He looked at me quietly as he spoke.

My heart felt warm. He was so busy, yet still remembered to bring me a gift. Gathering courage, I asked: "Did you specially rush back tonight?"

"Do you want me to have specially rushed back?" he asked in return, his gaze intense.

The next second, he pressed me against the door. I felt his breath so close, his burning breath on my face.
