Chapter 27: Daddy tell Mommy you love her! In a bustling ice cream parlor in City D, the employees were in a state of panic due to the arrival of a new customer. It was none other than the renowned Aiden Scott, and they knew that providing him with flawless service could potentially elevate their small restaurant to new heights. Meanwhile, Aiden sat uncomfortably in his seat, his gaze wandering aimlessly around the middle-class establishment. His actions betrayed his aristocratic background, as it was evident that he was unaccustomed to such a simple lifestyle. Noticing his unease, Elsie nudged him and suggested, "If you don't like it here, we can leave." In response, he asked expressionlessly, "Do you like it here?" Elsie became confused. Why was he asking her the same question she had just asked him? Nevertheless, she replied calmly, "I like it here. Auntie Dahlia used to bring me here after my piano classes." Excitement and happy memories gleamed in her
Chapter 28: Such a drama Queen A waitress hurried over, apologizing profusely. "I'm so sorry, ma'am, for the delay in service. We were waiting for you to place your order." The waitress couldn't help but gaze at Aiden, who exuded an air of aloofness that made him even more attractive. His cold eyes were fixed on his phone. Elsie noticed this but wasn't alarmed, as she perceived it as mere admiration. In contrast, Trixson would go out of her way to seduce Aiden, causing Elsie some concern. "No problem. You're here now, so please take our order," Elsie calmly replied, redirecting the waitress's attention. "Of course, of course!" The waitress nodded repeatedly, somewhat nervous and embarrassed by her earlier staring. She wondered if her initial reaction would result in a low rating for the restaurant or even jeopardize her job. Anticipating a scolding from Elsie, the waitress was surprised when it never came. Turning to her son, Elsie asked in a gentle voice,
Chapter 29: Not When It Tastes Like You "Huh?" she asked with a full mouth. Aiden's Adam's apple bobbed as he wiped the corner of her lips, which were smudged with ice cream. He asked, "Won't you feed me anymore?" Elsie swallowed, shifting uncomfortably in her seat. She inquired, licking her lower lip, which only enticed him, "Didn't you hate ice cream?" He smiled, bringing her closer by supporting her head with his hand. "Not when it tastes like you." Before she could grasp what he meant, he abruptly slammed his lips onto hers, taking her by storm. Her pupils dilated at his actions. Elsie was taken aback by his actions and was frozen to her seat. She let him take the lead and did not reciprocate. Seeing that she held back her obvious desire, he bit her lower lip before letting her go. Didn't she want to kiss him? Or was she done with the pretense? It meant he was right, only Henry Rowan was in her heart. How could he be so foolish! Thinking thi
Chapter 30; Why is he asking for me now? The woman who had attacked Elsie earlier chatted happily with her friends. They enjoyed her company and her interest in the famous poet Poe. Suddenly, she was pulled by a strong, fierce hand, dragging her away from the crowd she was entertaining. She couldn't help but hurl insults at him. "You mannerless peasant dog! How dare you attack me in such a manner? You dare lay a finger on me, huh? Do you know who I am?" The lady was so furious that her breathing became erratic. She glared angrily at the bulky fellow for the stunt he had pulled. She also noticed that her expensive dress had been torn at the collar, revealing her black bra. She felt very embarrassed, and her face turned red. Placing a hand on the tear, she yelled at the beastly-looking fellow, "Look at my expensive dress! How dare you touch it? Do you know how much I paid for this dress? It's more than your two months' salary!" The women she had heartily chatted
Chapter 31; Don't expect Aiden to forgive so easily? "What did she say?" Aiden's cold voice pierced through the silence. He watched the slender finger walk from her seat to the elevator which led to the terrace instead of where he was. Joseph wiped his sweaty face with a handkerchief, swallowed hard, and stuttered, "Mr. President, she asked for you to come meet her downstairs." "Hmm." He drew in his cheeks slightly and emitted cold air. Elsie had always been stubborn. Aiden Scott remained silent for a while. He took a long sip of the whiskey in his glass. "You can go now." "Okay, Mr. President." Joseph bowed respectfully before leaving. It was better to leave Aiden alone at this time, or else he would end up being killed by Aiden's anger. "Madam is so stubborn, always poking at the President's anger." He sighed heavily, walking away. On the terrace, Elsie watched the city lights with a heavy heart. Why was she even on the terrace? "It's beautiful h
Chapter 32: You invited me remember? #### In a Light Hotel, A woman walked gracefully on ten-inch heels on the beautiful marble floor. She was dressed in a black sheath dress, a giant hat, and black shades. People could barely see the person under this disguise. She stepped into the elevator and pressed the top floor number. The elevator was empty, but she still kept her disguise on. Her knuckles, which were clutching her black Dior purse, grew white. Her entire body trembled the moment her phone vibrated in her purse. Reluctantly, she brought the phone to her ear, biting down on her lower lip. "Hello?" "Where are you?" an impatient voice scolded on the other side of the mobile. Rubbing her neck, Trickson replied in a shaky voice, "I am almost there, Director Lee." "Get here fast. It seems you are not serious about playing the role of Phine Asong. The movie is bound to be famous; it will take you to greater heights." The man's voice became arrogant
Chapter 33; Who is she? Elsie turned around, her heart pounding in her chest. She recognized the voice immediately. It was her husband Aiden Scott. He stood there tall and mighty, his cold gaze glowering down at her. "Aiden!" she yelled, running into his arms. His pine scent and the smell of whiskey embraced her being. She looked up at him, pleading, "I am sorry for offending you. Please, I am sorry. I know it's not easy to believe I have changed, so I will not give up until you trust me." "I don't trust anyone," he muttered coldly, trying to peel her off him. It would have taken a greater effort, but a part of him enjoyed having her in his arms even when he was mad at her. Was he even? It was mere disappointment in himself. Despite five years of marriage, he had failed to make her fall for him. Her face turned sour, and she assured him in a sincere tone, "Until me, and I broke it. Not anymore." It sounded pretty unbelievable to Aiden, especially as
Chapter 34; It's your wife, Sir. By the time Elsie woke up, Aiden had already left for work. These days, he had been too busy for her to catch a glimpse of him despite staying at home all day. It was getting boring; swapping channels or browsing on the internet felt like a chore. She wanted something more than just being a housewife. And that something was to be an actress. Ironically, she had social anxiety, and people always laughed at her dream of making it big one day and seeing her face on the screen. Then again, would Aiden accept? It wasn't the right time either. She had to win his trust first before she could pursue her dreams. As if on schedule, Elsie sent her daily quote to Aiden, always ending it with her love confession. It was a reminder that she was here to stay. As always, she only received a read receipt from him. Nothing more. Elsie's train of thought came to a stop as her phone vibrated in her grasp. Out of panic, the phone sli
