Aiden took a few minutes before he came back. Erina doesn't know how to act after what she noticed—that even Lorenzo and Sancha thought he was Draven's father, but the two seemed still unconvinced that he wasn't the father, as they were just thinking Erina was just trying to hide it from them. "Do you want me to tour you around the land, sir?" Erina offered casually, as she didn't want to tackle what happened earlier because she knew that wasn't Aiden's business anymore.Other than that, she just doesn't want to point it out because she is afraid of what would be behind his reaction, and she doesn't really want to show Aiden that she's affected or that she was bothered by it.But at the same time, it's really making her curious."I'm fine with it. Are we going to ride some horses? The land is wide," Aiden said. He looked composed as well, but there was something in his eyes that Erina was scared to know."Yes, sir. We have some horses available on the ranch. We usually ride horses wh

She could feel that she was blushing profusely. There was something about the way Aiden said it like he was demanding something that was too intimate.She didn't say anything, as she only let it slide while the horses were now calmly galloping into the series of trees as the sunlight was peeking through the thick leaves."There's already some ripe mangoes!" Draven pointed at the mangoes.They are both looking at the ripe mangoes, while Erina couldn't help but notice the uncanny similarities between the two, even their side profiles. She looked like she was watching the older version of Draven, and it really gave her a different feeling.Thick brows that they would both furrow when they're confused. Those colors of the eyes, and nose that looked so pointed, thin red lips, chin, the angular jaw... Oh, my son would be so handsome once he grows up—like his father.I really can imagine the adult version of Draven—like Arden. Aiden might not be Arden, but it showed how Draven would grow up

Despite thinking that Aiden wasn't talking about her, that he wasn't talking about how she tried to fool him in the past—which she knew she wasn't pushing through, but then she knew that in the other's perspective, she did in the first place—made her almost forget how to breathe."If she disappeared, maybe she was guilty?""I hope so. But she hurt me so deeply that I don't think I could ever forgive her."Erina gulped again, as she could feel how heavily Aiden had said it like he was saying it on behalf of Arden because they have the same sentiments about the woman who hurt them."Then...why do you still want to find her despite what she has done to you? Isn't it more peaceful if you just move on and forget her?"Aiden stopped walking, and Erina stopped as well. The topic was so important that the trees weren't already enough to distract them from walking and admiring the trees.When Aiden faced her fully, like she was that woman whom he was talking about, she felt like she had seen t

"Mommy, let's go back right away. I will help you make a shake," Draven suggested eagerly.Erina looked at Aiden again, who was arching his brows, as he seemed to be letting Erina know that he wouldn't go home without tasting the shake she would make for him."Alright," Erina said, which made Draven's face brighten.Erina was a bit happy to see her son enjoying the day despite Aiden coming over. Though he's the boss, Erina didn't feel that Aiden was up for business purposes, as he even let Draven play with him without showing that he's strict."Oh, you are back right away," Lorenzo and Sancha chimed as soon as they went in."Yes, because Mommy is going to make a mango shake for Aiden," Draven said, pointing at Aiden, who just went in as well.Lorenzo and Sancha looked at each other as if something was going on inside their minds, and they could see through what was happening, like the new bloom love story of Erina they had been praying for."Alright. We would be upstairs if you needed

After what happened yesterday, Erina slowly got comfortable with Aiden's presence without being anxious that it might be Arden, unlike in the past few days, when she was so bothered that someone had a resemblance to the man who impregnated her, the man who was mad at her, and the man who might be looking for her and wants her dead.She wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt because of Draven, as she didn't want to show that she hated him just because of her petty reason.Other than that, something about that interaction suddenly drew them closer, as she could slowly lower her boundary just to know Aiden himself.And she was so shameless that throughout the day in her office, she was already expecting lunchtime so that Aiden would call her again in his office.She was looking forward to it, but she couldn't concentrate on her own work because she was occupied with that matter.What's the fuss now, Erina? As far as I remember yesterday, you were thankful that it was your break time

Erina didn't expect to see Aiden, his hands in his pocket while looking at her desk nonchalantly until he glanced at the door when Erina opened it.Shocked that he went into her own office, her brows knitted as she slowly entered and closed it."Sir," she called unbelievably, still shocked that she saw him in her office.When the door closed, Erina's eyes drifted to the table where her lunch was, and he saw that she hadn't touched it yet."I'll have my lunch here," he said, like he already had decided it and his food was already on the way, and Erina couldn't already say no.Though she wasn't planning to push him out of her room, there was a part of her that was not really fine knowing she had just seen the model in the lobby and her physique marked in her mind as she remembered Arienda, the sophisticated woman whom Arden's mother wants for Arden in the past.She felt like the past was just repeating and making her chest ache.So you're now admitting to yourself that you're attracted

Erina's curiosity about yesterday's keeping Aiden too busy in order not to invite her over for lunch in his own office has been answered. Though she really expected that Aiden was the kind of man who would not be available all the time because of the work he has, to hear that it was because of a woman and not because he was loaded reading some documents, she felt like she was somehow being played at.And what is he doing in my office after that model left? That he finally remembered—he has a woman here in the company too?Stop it, Erina. He is your boss. He is not flirting with you. He never did something flirtatious. He went into your place for the land and just unexpectedly got closer to your son, and maybe he is a man of his word who just wanted to come over often because he promised to Draven. Maybe he likes kids? And he remembers someone with my son?Right. And maybe he was just being sociable at the company because he wanted to have a healthy relationship, Erina! I told you!But

It wasn’t just Erina who heard Aiden, because even the newly arrived employees of the company heard it very clearly. Other than that, the shock on their faces was too obvious, knowing Aiden just addressed Erina casually, on a first-name basis, which seems like they have a close relationship other than being bosses and employees.Erina suddenly remembered the murmurings of the employees to whom she listened while she was in the cubicle, which made her remember why she cried at night and helped her realize how reality works for her.So instead of nodding, she politely smiled. “I might not be able to come later, sir. I have a lot of things to do. Have a good day, Mr. Arscott,” she said, bowed a bit, and walked straight to the elevator.Those who have heard her were kind of shocked that she rejected Aiden’s order, like Aiden was asking for something less important, or whatever it could be. It seems like Erina doesn’t view it as part of her work that she was only at the company for one pur
