Tiana Thorne finally allowed herself a smile and concluded, "When you face a girl you like, don’t be so cold, and a good romance will co your way quickly. Smile more in the mirror every day, don’t push people away. From your bone structure, it looks like you can be happy for a lifeti~"
"That’s all?"
"That’s all!"
After that, for so unknown reason, both of them fell into silence.
Suddenly, she sensed sothing amiss. His breathing wasn’t as steady as before; it was slightly heavier.
Next to him, she seed small. Looking up at his eyes, she could only see his sexy Adam’s apple.
Slowly raising her gaze, she finally looked into his dark hazel eyes, deep as if holding so kind of magic, able to draw a person in.
For so reason, she felt his eyes seed darker than usual.
Aiden Shaw lowered his eyes to look at her, "Do you plan to sit like this all night?"
Tiana followed his gaze downwards.
What the heck???
When did she end up sitting in Aiden Shaw’s lap?
And so snugly at that...
However, calming down, she found it kind of funny.
What was she even afraid of?
Old Aiden, why not take this chance to do so serious flirting.
Thinking of this, she reached out her delicate finger, landing it on his Adam’s apple that she had just missed. Her thumb gently rubbed it, her voice low and lazy, sowhat entrancing: "Master Aiden, you were right about one thing earlier."
"Hmm?"
Being pressed by her thumb, his voice wasn’t as clear and chill as before, the restrained allure mixed with untad sexiness.
Tiana licked her little tiger tooth, showing two shallow dimples with a hint of mischief: "I have indeed been admiring your looks."
Aiden’s eyes deepened even more.
"I was thinking, with Master Aiden’s looks, there’s probably no one else in the world like you. I, uh, I like pretty things, so I took a few more glances..."
Her voice gradually beca hoarse, then she lazily curved her lips: "What’s the matter, Brother Aiden, got any objections?"
As she tilted her head up, they were very close, so close they could hear each other’s breaths, with a faint minty scent.
"Master Aiden..."
Aiden’s voice was low and cool: "You’re very noisy."
Tiana: "..."
Ugh!
Those three words again.
She jumped off him within a second, putting a safe distance between them, frowning a bit in displeasure, her little mouth chattering: "Old Aiden, you’re just hopeless. You were just asking about resolving the romance dilemma, I told you the way, and it’s like you didn’t take in a single word I said."
Though she was babbling nonsense to him, she still wasted her breath, and this guy just treated her words like air.
He acted as if he hadn’t heard, pressed his lips, asked, "Done with the reading?"
Tiana: "..."
He is so beyond reasoning, she was too gentle earlier, should’ve just told him he’s destined to die alone with no one willing to marry him!!
"Done."
Aiden got up, picked up the suit jacket he’d just placed on the sofa, looking at her with deep, thoughtful eyes: "Tonight, you’ll sleep in my room, tomorrow, I’ll have Jesse take you back."
"Tomorrow’s scene is at five, I’ll write you a prescription in a bit, I’ll take a cab ho."
Aiden pressed his lips, attitude cold and firm: "I’ve already had May get you the morning off."
Tiana: "Old Aiden, do you not need to consult about these things?"
"Consult?" He raised an eyebrow, his voice suddenly becoming intriguing, his thin lips moved: "You’ve been flirting with under the guise of fortune telling, did you consult about that?"
Tiana’s breath hitched: "..."
She paused for a bit, still: "...???"
How the heck did he even notice?
Aiden looked at her for a few seconds, then averted his gaze, turning to head upstairs.
"Hey, where are you going? Where are you sleeping tonight?"
Aiden turned back at the stairwell to look at her, his dark pupils unwavering, pressed his lips lightly, his voice low and chilly, more bewitching than before: "If Dr. Thorne wants to sleep with , I wouldn’t mind sharing a bed with you."
Tiana: "..."
Saying such provocative words with such a cold expression.
He no longer looked at her, turned indifferently, stretched his long legs, and went up the stairs.
Is Old Aiden possessed by sothing?
Since when can he make such jokes?
Not just that...
This seductive jerk, he actually knew she was bantering and didn’t push her away, even let her strut her nonsense so confidently...
Is there sothing wrong with his brain?
Apparently, he doesn’t really have soone in his heart, just going along with her act.
Why would he do that?
Tiana shrugged, no clue.
After he went upstairs to another room, she snapped back from her thoughts too, and went upstairs to his room.
The room still slled the sa as ever, the furnishings unchanged, so much like his clear, restrained self.
She took out a robe from the wardrobe, then tossed herself into the bathtub.
Thinking left and right, Old Aiden has beco a little more down-to-earth, actually went along with her pranks, which left her sowhat bewildered.
Seems like he’s in a pretty good mood.
After a bath, she felt refreshed.
Lying on the bed, her mind no longer on the little episode in the living room, she thought about Elsa’s perfu her brother was involved with.
Now the dia and netizens are all condemning Elsa, and her brother hasn’t taken any action.
No, she has to sort this out soon.
After going back to the set tomorrow, she planned to find so gossip about Elsa, in three days she’d clear her brother’s na.
Also, she wanted to return to the Ford family.
Maybe because her three brothers spoiled her too much, she wanted to know what her real parents are like, would they like her? Would they recognize her as their long-lost daughter?
Does she look more like her mom or dad?
Thinking about this, her heart filled with joy, her lips lifted into a sweet smile.
However, heaven was not being kind.
A loud noise, thunder roared.
The sudden sound tightened Tiana’s breath, scared her so she trembled, wrapping herself tightly in the blanket.
Another clap of thunder, her face turned pale, the mory of that night of the tribulation, the pouring rain, the violent storm.
Rumble—
"Ah—"
Finally, she couldn’t hold back, scread: "No—"
Bam!
At the sa ti, the door opened.
The dark room was instantly filled with light.
She heard the footsteps of a man, her body tensing, then, pulling the blanket, stood up off the bed, and saw Aiden Shaw, also in a robe.
Without thinking, she jumped towards him, clinging to his neck tightly, her legs gripping his waist like welded iron: "Old Aiden, the thunder, the thunder..."
