Chapter 106: I may have just risen in love with you all over again
The evening sun cast long shadows on the ground, the sky illuminating an orange-hued color.
In a silver Jeep Grand Cherokee, Aiden's cheapest car in his garage, Elsie and Aiden headed to their destination. Elsie had insisted on a cheap car while he had insisted on them taking the road and not flying.
Elsie's only worry was how stressful it would be for him to drive the entire six-hour journey.
In the car, a playlist of romantic songs played at a medium volume. Elsie couldn't help but sing along, perhaps a bit too loudly for Aiden's liking. Still, he did not complain.
However, when he noticed tears in her eyes, the car had to come to a screeching halt. In panic, he unstrapped his seatbelt and turned to attend to her. "Why are you cr
Chapter 107: Is that a threat? The morning sun peeked through the curtains, casting a warm glow in the cozy hotel room. Elsie stretched her arms with a yawn as she embraced Aiden from behind. While Aiden skillfully chopped vegetables on a chopping board, he pushed it further away, worried she might get hurt. Nudging his back with her head like a cat seeking attention, Elsie's lips broadened into a smile, her fingers playfully toying with the buttons of his shirt. "Did you sleep well?" Aiden asked, his attention focused on the vegetables he was chopping, also trying to ignore Elsie's distractions as she now stood on her toes, placing feathery kisses along his neck. Stopping in the midst of her pecks, she cocked her head and pouted, "I should be asking you, you were the one driving, yet I slept in the car. Why didn't you wake me up? It must have been such a hassle to carry me to the room." "Who said anything about carrying you? Why would I do that?" Aiden replied
Chapter 108: He is my boyfriend Aiden quickly slipped out of bed, a mischievous grin on his face. "Alright then, let's see what kind of trouble we can get into tonight." He picked up the crisp white shirt and dark jeans Elsie had selected earlier. He left the few top buttons undone, exposing a tantalizing view of his tanned chest. Elsie watched him with satisfaction as he stepped out with his signature disheveled hair look. There was something about him that was familiarly strange every time she saw him. Even though she had already memorized his outline and knew the sound of his voice whether he was asleep or wide awake. It was true there was nothing new she could learn about his habits, but that did not stop her from seeing him as the most interesting man she had laid her eyes on. "Is being this handsome in your DNA?" Elsie purred, standing up to smooth her hands along the planes of his broad shoulders. "Though I must say, I'm rather fond of you in just the sh
Chapter 109: You're Being Childish "Are we there yet?" Aiden asked for about the umpteenth time, frustration clawing at his throat. It was growing with each step as Elsie led him. Elsie said she had a surprise for the evening, something he would like. Aiden feared the sound of that. He could hear the sounds of waves and feel the sand they were walking on. This was not a good idea. The fresh breeze carried from the sea was both refreshing and chilling. It was cold at night on the island due to the sea. The air smelled like rain-beaten rocks and the scent of fish. However, for the surprise, Elsie had put much effort into transforming the place. Similar to the decorations Aiden had done during their first date, Elsie created a beautiful scenery by the seashore. A small shelter laid up ahead, lined wi
Chapter 110: Every Chaos Beats Out Planned, When I Am with You As soon as Aiden was done with the phone call, he expected Elsie to be out of the water by then. Unexpectedly, he found her humming a tune and playing in the water. "She looks cute when she is being stubborn," his mouth twitched into a small smile. He could see her shiver even though she tried to conceal it. It made his heart ache. Stuffing the phone in his pocket, Aiden ran a hand through his hair as he strode towards the water. As much as he wanted to prove her right, he knew this was a losing battle. Stepping forward, Aiden called out, "Elsie, come back. Let's head back and warm up inside - I don't want you catching a cold out here."
Chapter 111: You can't abandon your family. While she was sleeping, Elsie had a nightmare. She was walking on an empty street covered with dried leaves and flowers. It was dark and scary, with the sounds of waves not very far away. She heard a voice call out to her: "Elsie!" Out of fear, her heart raced faster in her chest. She turned to run in the opposite direction of the voice. Something strange happened. She found herself instead running towards the voice; it felt as if her legs no longer took commands from her. Her legs ran towards the voice, stepping on broken glass and muddled leaves. There was a house at the end of the trail, covered with snow. "Snow? How is that possible?" she muttered to herself, finally stopping in front of the house. It was made
Chapter 112: Don't cry, you look uglyUpon arriving at the parking lot, Elcilia hurriedly concealed herself behind a pillar, her chest heaving with distress. It felt as though her heart had been ripped from her very being."Cilia, why are you crying?" Chase Scott asked with concern as he approached Elcilia. He had heard someone sobbing and came to comfort the person. Clad in a black suit, he looked handsome as always.Wiping her tears fiercely, Elcilia shook her head. "I am not," she replied defiantly, her voice laced with a hint of irritation."Okay," he sighed, looking away, then confessed, "I am pregnant." Chase acted all innocent as he took a step forward, a mischievous glint in his eyes.Confusion etched Elcilia's face, and she cocked her head, clearly perplexed by his unexpected st
Chapter 113:Elsie, I will kill you the second I get out! "I am a fan of your products, ma'am, not your personality. Don't make things hard on yourself," the officer ordered with a smile. "Give me the flask." In order to keep the peace, Trix handed over the flask. She shot an apologetic look to her mother, but Dahlia was fuming. She threw out her fingers, wishing she could claw at the officer's face. She yelled angrily, "I will kill you. Come close. I will scrape the skin off your ugly face." Instantly, Trixson's stomach sank. She panicked and begged, "Mom, stop your threats. You are in the station." If Dahlia continued with her antics, she might get new charges. Trixson was only trying to prevent that.
Chapter 114: You charged Dahlia for assault Back in the beach house. Aiden stepped into the bedroom, his eyes searching the room for someone. He caught a gaze of her walking out of the bathroom. "You charged Dahlia for assault?" Aiden asked, his surprise evident on his face. He got the information from Chase. At this time, Elsie came out from taking a bath draped in a towel, another used to wipe her hair. She tossed her hair, dabbing the water off as she replied. "Yes, I did." "Why didn't you inform me?" Aiden questioned, sounding pissed. They had been on their honeymoon for three days now, and she had not bothered to tell him about it. "Huh," Elsie res
