Chapter 316 Leave Me Alone, Mr. Playboy

Day Thirty-Seven...

~~*****~~

Cherry was at a loss for words after hearing Stephen's revelation. 'He erased her memory. How could that be possible? How could he do that?'

Cherry stared at him with disbelief. "How? Why do you have to erase her memory? To what extent she was affected by the incident? What kind of mishap happened to her in Country Z?" She bombarded him with so many questions.

At this moment, Stephen kept his mouth shut. He couldn't say it without Phantomflake's consent. He buried her past along with her lost memory. He couldn't afford to tell another person about her dark past.

Stephen believed that it was Phantomflake's deep scar that she wanted to hide from everyone... even her friends.

"C'mon Stephen! Tell me. Please... I wanna know." Cherry grabbed his shirt tightly using both hands.

"What's going on here?" A newcomer arrived and interrupted the two.

Cherry didn't have to turn around since she already recognized that voice. It was Aiden! 'Argh! This punk. Why did he arrive at this crucial moment? I was planning to force an answer from Stephen.'

Cherry bared her teeth, scolding Aiden in her mind. Meanwhile, Stephen felt relieved because of Aiden's sudden arrival. He just came at the right time. Cherry wouldn't be able to ask him further.

Stephen met Aiden's jealous gaze. He smiled at his best friend, signaling him to entertain and talk to Cherry on his behalf. He almost spilled the beans as he got carried away.

This was the first time he could confide with someone regarding Phantomflake. Since Phantomflake was the woman who Nathan resented the most, he couldn't speak to either Nathan or Aiden when it came to Phantomflake.

He was grateful that Cherry was there. They could talk about Phantomflake all they wanted.

"Cherry, Thank you for your time. I have to go and check her condition."

"Wait! I will accompany you!" Cherry grabbed his elbow when Stephen stood up.

He felt insulted. The woman he had a crush on couldn't see him as a man. She just hit his ego.

Cherry smiled inwardly. Just when she thought Aiden would leave her alone, Aiden spoke up through his gritted teeth.

"I LIKE YOU!"

Cherry: "..."

'That three words again!' She squinted her eyes at him, thinking that he was playing another prank confession on her.

"Just leave me alone, Mr. Playboy. I don't have spare time to listen to your nonsense."

Cherry stood up from her seat and was about to leave when Aiden grabbed her shoulders, pressing her down. He just forced her to sit back.

"I said... I like you!" Aiden reiterated his last words.

"Tsssh." Cherry hissed at him. "Remove your hands if you don't want me to beat you." She warned him. She didn't believe him. She already knew his reputation. Aiden was a playboy, a Cassanova... a man who changed girlfriends every month.

'How dare he try to include me in the list of his women?!'

But Aiden didn't budge. He was hell serious at this moment. He could no longer maintain his cool. Cherry kept on hurting his pride and stomping his confidence.

"I don't like– uhm~" Cherry was not able to finish her words since Aiden sealed her mouth with his lips.

'I'll show you that I am a man!' Aiden thought to himself as he nibbled on her lips, deepening the kiss. This mouth hurt his feelings several times so it was time to punish her... with a hungry passionate kiss!

Aiden was a great kisser. He expertly made Cherry respond to his lips as he dominated her.

'Wait?! What is happening?' Cherry asked to herself.
