Chapter 338 Does He Have A Child?

Day Forty...

~~*****~~

Cherry and Aiden were the only people present in that valley. She could confide her feelings with Aiden and the nature surrounding her. No one would stop her. No one would judge her. Cherry was in her helpless state at this moment. Her mind was in turmoil.

"Aaaaaaaah!" Cherry screamed so loud, her voice echoing in that valley.

"AAAAAhhhhh!!!"

"AAAAAhhhhh!!!"

Cherry repeated her actions thrice until she was satisfied. Screaming in that unknown place was quite refreshing. She just released her stress by shouting out loud!

Aiden just watched her silently, a subtle smile curling up on his face. He was glad that Cherry was listening to his advice today.

When Cherry was done yelling, Aiden patted her back to comfort her. Though he was clueless about what she was going through at the moment, Aiden would like Cherry to know that he was there for her. She could rely on him. He was also dependable like his best friends, Nathan and Stephen.

"So how does it feel?" Aiden asked her, his eyes shining with delight.

"I feel a little bit better now. Thank you, Aiden."

Aiden couldn't contain his happiness when Cherry expressed her gratitude toward him. He looked like a kid who got praised by his favorite teacher.

"I'm glad I could be of help..."

Cherry nodded her head with a faint smile on her face. "Can we stay here for a moment? I want to immerse myself in this scenic view as I admire the beauty of our mother nature."

"Of course. Just take your time. I will just stay here to accompany you."

Aiden and Cherry sat on the bushy ground, under the big old tree. They kept silent while appreciating the beautiful view of the green fields, blue sky, and trees.

After a while, Cherry finally spoke up, breaking the silence. "Do you come here often? How did you know about this place?"

"Honestly, I didn't expect that someone like you knew this kind of place. I could only imagine you visiting clubs and other entertainment establishments." Cherry added.

Aiden chuckled softly and said, "See. You have a lot of misconceptions about me. This is just one of my true sides I wanna show you if you will just give me a chance to get to know me more." Aiden managed to mention his original agenda.

Cherry hadn't forgotten Aiden's request so she just smiled at his last remarks. Even Abigail talked to her, encouraging her to give Aiden a chance. She hadn't made her decision yet. But it seemed like today's encounter helped her to see Aiden in a different light.

"Kidding aside, answer my question first. How did you know this place? Do you go here often?" Cherry repeated her questions. She was glad Aiden was with her, diverting her attention away from the shocking discovery she found out at Stephen's clinic

"How can a woman with no interaction or relationship with any man get pregnant?"

"Cough! Cough!" Aiden choke on his drink when he heard her innocent question. 'Seriously, she is asking me this?'

"Hey! Don't just look at me. Answer me!" Cherry demanded in her drunken state. She even grabbed Aiden's collar, tugging him closer.

'Even in her drunken state, she is still violent,' Aiden thought to himself.

"Fine. Let go. I will answer you."

Cherry giggled in satisfaction. Then she let go of him.

Aiden, on the other hand, cleared his throat and fixed his collar before answering her.

"Of course, she got pregnant because she had sexual intercourse with a man. She had sex with a man for sure. If that was not the case, then maybe the woman had undergone artificial insemination."

Cherry paused for a moment just staring at Aiden with her blinking eyes. She was trying to process Aiden's words.

Smack!

"Ouch!" Aiden grunted because Cherry hit his head.

"Dumbo! Of course, I know that!"

"If you know... then why are you still asking me how a woman could get pregnant?" Aiden spat back at her, rubbing his head.

"I mean... my sister doesn't want to get pregnant. She has no plan of marrying someone nor doing artificial insemination! How can she get pregnant?!"

"Maybe she fell in love at first sight! A one-night stand." Aiden nonchalantly responded before taking a sip of his whisky.

He almost dropped his glass when Cherry pulled his collar once more, turning him to face her. "Tell me the truth. Does Stephen have a child?"

"Huh? Stephen? You mean Stephen, my best friend?" Aiden asked, confusion resurfacing from his eyes.

Cherry bobbed her head frantically. Meanwhile, Aiden wondered why Cherry was asking him about Stephen. 'Wait... don't tell me she is interested in him? She has a crush on Stephen?'

"Eh? Why do you care if he has a child or not? Do you like him?" Aiden questioned her.

"Don't dodge my question. Just answer me," Cherry said with a warning gaze.

"Sigh. Stephen doesn't have a child. I don't have a child as well. Only Nathan is a single dad among the three of us!"
