Chapter 980 - 972: Treat Her Well 2

Chapter 980: Chapter 972: Treat Her Well 2

Aiden Shaw lowered his head and gently kissed her slightly furrowed forehead.

"If I had known earlier that you were the only woman I wanted to protect in this life, I wouldn’t have treated you coldly back then."

Tiana Thorne was momentarily stunned by his words, not understanding why he suddenly said this.

"Fourth Brother, actually..."

Aiden interrupted her again, this time with a voice full of helplessness: "If possible, I’d choose a different way to meet you for the first time, so you wouldn’t think I was cold."

Upon hearing this, Tiana’s heart was suddenly touched, her nose tingled, and she glared at him in playful reproach: "Why are you suddenly saying such sentimental things, making me a bit flustered."

He merely smiled and said nothing, holding her tighter in his embrace.

If he continued to be distant, perhaps the one holding her now wouldn’t be him.

And he would just be one of her many brothers.

Thinking of this, his heart suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable.

Tiana gradually began to understand. Was Fourth Brother jealous?

Thinking of this possibility, she couldn’t help but smile.

Burying her head in his chest, she lifted her alluring red lips: "Isn’t there something in this world called the thrill of unattainability?"

He looked down at her, waiting for her to continue.

"Back then, if you had been too enthusiastic with me, perhaps I wouldn’t have noticed you. It’s just the aloofness that stirs the desire for possession. I don’t regret our first meeting at all, except..."

As she spoke, a sly look flashed in her eyes, and the arc of her lips grew even more playful.

He asked again, "Except what?"

She licked her lips: "Except I regret not having devoured you back then. If I had, I wouldn’t have had to work so hard to seduce you later."

Aiden’s Adam’s apple moved, and his previously calm heart suddenly started racing.

Looking at her moist lips, he took a deep breath: "Jesse Rivers."

"Yes, here."

Aiden instructed, "Pull over, get out, take May Sloane with you."

Jesse Rivers: "???

May’s face turned red.

Tiana really knows how to tease, and Aiden’s definitely moved.

This couple sure knows how to play.

Jesse had no choice but to park the car and got out with equally abandoned May Sloane.

Aiden took the driver’s seat, revved the engine, and disappeared from their sight in a flash.

It was the first time Tiana had done something like leave May by the roadside, she looked at Aiden with a gentle blink, asking, "Fourth Brother, wasn’t that a bit unkind?"

"Jesse has a way to get her home."

Tiana: "..."

She still hadn’t figured out why he did that.

Could it be, he didn’t want others to hear her sweet words?

Even if it was a woman like May, that wouldn’t do.

That’s the only explanation.

It’s just...

The car wasn’t heading towards the Ford family estate; the road signs indicated they were heading to the villa.

Tiana asked again, "Aren’t we going home?"

"We’re going to the villa."

Tiana didn’t understand, swallowed, and asked again, "Why?"

But Aiden just smiled, squinting slightly: "Didn’t you say you regretted not devouring me the first time we met?"

The dimples in his cheeks were especially captivating, and his deep voice was even more thrilling.

Not only his voice but even the atmosphere surrounding them at this moment was enough to make one’s heart race.

"So what?"

The car had already arrived at the villa entrance.

After getting out of the car, he opened the door for her, inviting her to step out.

When they were very close, his husky voice slowly sounded, answering her question: "Can’t leave regrets, let’s go to the villa, I’ll give you a chance to do what you wanted to do."

Damn!

When did Aiden become so seductive?

Could it be true, that once a man opens that door, he can’t stop???

"You..."

Before she could finish speaking, she saw him undoing his tie with one hand, pulling it off with a devilish smirk, three parts wicked, seven parts alluring, it was maddeningly attractive.

Then, he used the tie to cover her eyes, speaking softly in her ear: "Let’s start over."

Tiana: "..."

She thought she was good at being seductive, but now, when Aiden did it, there was hardly any room left for her to shine.

Suddenly, she felt weightless as he lifted her in a princess carry.

With her vision blacked out, it seemed as if she truly traveled back to the night of her rebirth, but unlike before, she and Aiden were now a pair of soulmates.

Reaching the bedroom, she was gently placed on the bed.

Tiana, without any reservation, groped for his collar, pulling it so that he was just inches from her, their breaths intermingling.

She raised an eyebrow, her smile flirtatious: "Let’s make up for my regrets."

Tilting her head, she pressed her lips to his.

In an instant, countless images flashed in her mind.

She still remembered that first night they met when she had knocked him out before escaping.

Lips parted.

She pulled away the tie that covered her eyes, opening them to see his face, both reserved and intensely captivating.

With her index finger, she traced the lines of his handsome face: "Aiden, did you just steal some candy? So sweet."

He lowered his head, kissing the tip of her nose, his voice carrying a teasing tone: "Tiana, you are my candy now."

She giggled: "Yours alone."

He chuckled softly, his handsome and deep features exuded a maddeningly sexy charm.

Lowering her voice, Tiana deliberately teased him: "Maybe when we first met, your ’illness’ was already cured."

If she hadn’t brought it up, he wouldn’t have remembered it.

Thinking back to their first meeting now, he couldn’t help but smile.

Perhaps, she was his destiny.

He never believed in such things before, but after everything that happened, he had no choice but to believe.

Suddenly, he remembered something, placing his lips close to her earlobe, his voice hoarse as he asked: "You said you’ve seen it all, that was a lie, wasn’t it, hmm?"

Tiana was slightly stunned, not expecting him to ask this suddenly.

Moreover, if he hadn’t mentioned it, she would have almost forgotten about it.

"You..."

Knock knock knock —

Just then, an urgent knock on the door interrupted their heated moment.

At this moment, it was truly a mood killer.

Aiden was very displeased, not caring who it was, he yelled angrily: "Get lost!"

Tiana: "..."

Angering Aiden, his temper was quite explosive.

"Fourth Master, I’m sorry... but it’s important, I had to disturb you."

Outside was Uncle Hughes’s voice.

Aiden’s peak anger was slightly relieved, his brow furrowed: "What’s the matter?"

"The eldest young master of the Hawthorne family is here."

Upon hearing this, both Tiana and Aiden were startled.

Eldest young master of the Hawthorne family...

Tiana’s eyes flickered with strong emotions.

Could the Hawthorne family’s eldest young master who made Uncle Hughes so anxious, be Linden Hawthorne?
