Chapter 355 Giving Him Chance

Day Forty-Two...

~~*****~~

Aiden's presence changed the atmosphere around Nathan and Stephen. He managed to stop the two from further arguing. However, another presence joined them, threatening Aiden. He had no choice but to ask his two best friends for help.

Cherry looked so mad at him. After meeting Aiden's father yesterday, Cherry and Aiden hadn't talked yet. Aiden didn't get the chance to explain to Cherry.

"What did you do that made her upset?" Stephen asked Aiden in a low voice. They were watching Cherry who was now walking toward them.

Nathan also gave Aiden a questioning look. Aiden continued gripping the arms of her best friends, not allowing them to leave. He was afraid that Cherry would beat him up if Nathan and Stephen were not around.

"Nothing! It's not my fault. It's my old man's fault. That old man spouted nonsense to her. He scared her by talking about marriage. He even claimed her as his daughter-in-law!" Aiden lamented to them. He put on a pitiful look as he begged them to pacify Cherry.

Meanwhile, Nathan and Stephen were both dumbfounded. They could imagine Master Wu intervening with his son's private life. That old man was dying to find a suitable candidate for his son. He was tired of Aiden's womanizing activities. He wanted his son to have a serious relationship already.

"Why Black Rose?" Nathan asked Aiden suspiciously. He couldn't understand why Master Wu chose Black Rose.

Stephen also bobbed his head frantically. He had the same question. Why Black Rose?

Aiden took a deep breath. "My Dad caught me lying on the same bed with Cherry. He met Cherry in my own place."

Stephen: "..."

Nathan: "..."

After hearing that, Nathan and Stephen exchanged glances with one another. They both tried to unhook Aiden's arms from gripping theirs.

"You are a man. Go and fix this yourself," Stephen said, whispering to him.Folloow current novÊls on nov/3lb((in).(co/m)

"Are you sure?" Cherry arched her eyebrow. She wasn't convinced.

"Yes. I am sure. You can even ask my staff." Aiden promptly responded, trying to convince her to believe in him.

"Okay. Since I'm in a good mood today. I will believe you." Cherry finally smiled. She thought of Phantomflake.

Cherry was about to leave when Aiden stopped her. He grabbed her elbow. Since Cherry was in a good mood, Aiden wanted to take this opportunity to ask her about her response to his request.

"What?" Cherry asked him. Her eyes fell on the hand that was holding her.

"You haven't given me your response yet. Will you give me a chance to get to know me better?" Aiden mustered all his courage up to say those words to her.

Cherry fell silent for a moment. She assessed Aiden's expression. He looked anxious as he waited for her response.

After a few seconds, Cherry bobbed her head. "Yes. Do you think I would come with you yesterday... if I didn't want to?"

Aiden was stunned for a moment hearing her last remarks. He felt so happy but at the same time, he was surprised. He thought Cherry would reject him. Without further ado, Aiden pulled her into a hug.

"Thank you, Cherry! Thank you! You don't know how much you made me happy today!" Aiden embraced her tightly, expressing his gratitude. He was one step closer to breaking the wall into Cherry's heart.

Cherry, on the other hand, gently pushed him away. She didn't want other people to see them hugging each other.

"Aiden. Behave!" Cherry warned him.

"I'm sorry. I just got carried away by my emotions." Aiden apologized, scratching his face as he smiled at her.

"Okay. Let's go. I'm going to watch my sister. She is going to wake up soon." Cherry decided to return to Phantomflake's room.

"Really?! That's good news!" Aiden immediately followed her from behind.
