Confession of My Untamed Best Friend Chapter 30 – I Want More
(Aiden’s POV)“You’re a cradle snatcher, Adam.” Aaron clucked his tongue.He glanced at Jessamine, sitting on the porch with his wife. She picked up the cup of coffee Sasha gave her and smiled at something my secretary said.“She’s twenty-four,” I gritted my teeth, lifting my hand to massage my nape. “This isn’t what I planned, Aaron. I didn’t bring you here so Sasha could play cupid.”Aaron sat on an old couch and wandered his eyes around the house, ignoring me. “This needs renovation,” he said instead of commenting on what I had said. “Why are you giving this place to her? Why not just sell this?”I breathed, looking around our old house. This place in a ten-hectare land was the only inheritance I got from my mother when she died, but I kept this all these years because of the memories I had with her. I had thought of this place when I read Jessamine’s marketing plan and research. This was a perfect location for the business she had in mind.“This is too precious to me,” I answered,
Confession of My Untamed Best Friend Chapter 31 – Buying Myself A Lingerie
(Aiden’s POV)There was pretty not much conversation after the kiss. I asked Aaron to drive us home as soon as we returned to the house. Jessamine must be sober now, sitting far away from me in the back seat, not talking to me. She must have realized the weight of her proposal.When Aaron stopped the car in front of the apartment, Jessamine said goodbye and exited the vehicle in a hurry, not waiting for me. Aaron rolled the window down when I got out of the car.“Adam, don’t forget the AI on diagnostics. Investors and clients from healthcare industries are excited about the accuracy of your work. Don’t play around,” he reminded me.“You don’t have to remind me,” I muttered, glancing at the door Jessamine left open. “Begin the renovation of the place. I’ll keep Jessamine busy.”“And your father, Mr. Knight?” Sasha chuckled, tilting her head to see me.“Tell him I’m not running away,” I snarled, squeezing my eyes shut and cursing inwardly. “And please, I’m Aiden. AIDEN ANDERSON.”I knew
Confession of My Untamed Best Friend Chapter 32 – Will You Marry Me?
(Aiden’s POV)“Behave!” I growled in a hushed tone.Jessamine only smiled and stepped forward, but I grabbed the back of her shirt, pulling her back to me when Xavier suddenly knelt on one knee. I had to open my arms and wrap my arms around her waist before she fell on the floor, not wanting to take this precious moment from Xavier and Deborah.“God, this is not how I wanted this to happen,” Xavier sighed nervously.“W-What are you doing?” Deborah hiccupped and stopped crying, slowly placing her hands in her lap.“Mel… my cousin, she’s a…” He hissed, closing his eyes and pursing his lips. Then he breathed, puffing out air slowly and opening his eyes, gazing lovingly at his girlfriend.Xavier began to sniffle while taking a small box from his pocket.I gulped air, knowing what would happen next.“I practice many times to make this moment perfect, but when is the perfect moment?” he chuckled. “Mom’s right. There’s none because you, Deborah, is already perfect for me. Everything we share
Confession of My Untamed Best Friend Chapter 33 – The Open Invitation
(Aiden’s POV)I yawned, stretching my arms as I exited quietly from the bedroom, not wanting to wake Jessamine up. I moved my head from side to side, walking toward the kitchen. The smell of freshly brewed coffee enticed my nostrils and pulled me to have a cup this morning.“Why is Jess in your bed?” Deborah asked, raising her eyebrows.Her hands were on her hips as her gaze followed me while I walked toward the countertop to get coffee.“Why are you having sex in the living room?” I asked, irked at the thought of them scaring Jessamine, which confused me.Deborah gasped.“You forgot you have a kid in the house,” I joked, turning around and leaning on the countertop. “She had seen you… and yes, we heard you.” I smirked, rolling my eyes as I pulled the stool and sat down.Her hand flew to her mouth, stopping herself from laughing.“OMG! Xavier’s not going to be happy with it,” she clucked her tongue. “We were… We’re…” She sighed and shook her head. “We should have thought of Jessamine.
Confession of My Untamed Best Friend Chapter 34 – Never Feel Alone
(Jessamine’s POV)My nostrils caught the scent of brewed coffee, freshly baked bread, and the clean, fresh air altogether. I closed my eyes, smiling as I inhaled deeply and exhaled slowly. Instead of helping Sasha set the table, I walked toward the lake as if it was calling me. Its pristine water was an unbelievably beautiful blue in the morning, mirroring the color of the sky.I had forgotten my plan of seducing Aiden, letting my brain work simultaneously, imagining how to turn this magical place into something profitable without touching the beauty of the area. Looking gorgeous even in a simple gray T-shirt and khaki shorts, Aiden walked toward me, bringing me a cup of coffee.“Deborah called and said nothing’s missing, and all the pages were complete.” He smiled, giving me the cup. “There’s no need to bring Charlie to the vet.”I chuckled, inhaling the scent of coffee before sipping.“As soon as I read your paper, I drafted a feasibility study, asked Aaron to review it, and… he saw
Confession of My Untamed Best Friend Chapter 35 – Something Fishy
(Jessamine’s POV)My heart was silent. My mind was in chaos, but nothing compared to my stomach; it was in a rage. It was Aiden’s fault. I was ready to let go of my silly dream, but then he had to ask me what was on my mind. Since Aiden returned, mixed emotions whirled inside me, confusing me and making me dizzy.The scent of brewed coffee and cinnamon caught my attention before I heard the footsteps. I must be really hungry. When I glanced over my shoulder, Sasha smiled gently, standing beside me and giving me the bread and a cup of coffee. “Are you okay?” She asked worriedly.I nodded, filling my mouth with the bread. I chewed slowly, not wanting to answer her if she raised another question, but Sasha seemed patient, her eyes on the lake.“I hate eating alone, too,” she muttered, tilting her head and smiling at me. “What you said reminded me of an old memory.” She breathed, returning her gaze to the lake. “Aaron and I were on a business trip, and then I saw this old lady selling no
Confession of My Untamed Best Friend Chapter 36 – Play A Game
(Jessamine’s POV)The house was the last place Sasha and I checked, and when we were done, I did not follow her downstairs. I lied, telling her my legs were stiff and that I needed to rest. I stayed on the last step at the top of the staircase, leaning on the wall and looking blankly at the ceiling.“Hey,” Aiden called out.I lowered my head, smiling at the only person I wanted to see now. I watched him climb up the stairs and stop when he was near me.“What are you doing here?” He asked curiously.“Thinking,” I answered, tapping the space beside me. I didn’t want him to fall on the stairs if he set the wrong foot on the tread.“Thinking… of what?” He muttered, sitting beside me but leaving a gap between us.“Not that I’m good in Math, Aiden, but people are unlikely to splurge money on this place, expecting this to be profitable. In what? A year?” I shook my head. “You know it’s not possible. Deborah will agree with me that it won’t happen in a short span of time, and it scares me to
Confession of My Untamed Best Friend Chapter 37 – No Turning Back
(Aiden’s POV)All I wanted was at least a fifteen-minute nap. If only Jessamine knew I didn’t just sit around and wait for her and Sasha to return. I had to check my emails and attend online meetings with the operations team, important clients, and prospective investors. Aaron and I had to go to the hotel for my conferences and hurry to return to her for lunch.I growled in annoyance, tossing and turning on our old couch. Instead of sleeping, I got up, worried she had done something crazy again. I lay down again, closing my eyes and pretending to be asleep, when I heard the creaking of wood on the porch as she walked.Curiosity ate me when Jessamine opened the door and tiptoed into the living room, ignoring me on the couch. What is she up to now? Slowly I opened my eyes, seeing her stepping toward the stairs, dripping wet.My heart hammered at the thought that she had gone swimming in the lake without anyone with her. Worry enveloped my heart, running many scenarios in my mind. Furiou
