All Chapters of A Step Closer to Love : Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

Arabella and Kieran returned home after their date. By the time they got home, it was already late into the night but Ethan was neither up nor waiting for them like Everly would have done."Do you want to have a cup of coffee?" Kieran asked as they entered the house."Coffee? At this time?" she asked him."Oh I see, this is too late to have a cup of coffee" he continued realizing what he had said. It was indeed too late to have any caffeine at that time."Yeah, I would like to sleep tonight so I could be awake early tomorrow" "If you are late I will wait for you" Arabella could not deny that Kieran had a sweet mouth because why did that singular statement make her stomach swirl in a fit of happiness?"It's not about you waiting for me but about having me being early to work" she said trying to steady her emotions. She did not want to swoon over him. "Okay then maybe we could have tea?" he suggested. He knew they were late but he did not want to let go of her yet. He wanted to stay e

The ice melted on her tongue before she decided to read time to get into the room and call it a night. She glanced at the clock. It was just a few seconds past midnight and she felt the urge to go to bed."Let's go to bed" she announced like a judge giving a verdict. "Together?" he asked with a slyish smile dancing on his lips."Yeah," she trailed off when her mind finally comprehended what he was trying to say. "Not together but together," she said. She played back her words in her mind and discovered how stupid she sounded."What I mean is let's leave this place together and go to bed separately in our beds" she clarified. Her voice was quick and sharp as if she was begging for relief from any form of torment. "Stop looking at me like that" she murmured her head down. She wondered how he had quickly turned the table so fast when she had been the one with the most power over him just a few seconds ago. "Like how?" he wanted to feign ignorance. He watched her eyes go up in surpris

"What is with him?" Arabella asked feigning ignorance. She knew she would have been able to get out of letting out her relationship with Kieran to her sister if it were not a video call because her face would give her away but she was willing to try how far she could push her luck. "So why is your face about to break out into a smile? A happy one at that?" Seraphina narrowed her eyes. "Is that make-up on your face?" "Because I am so happy to see and hear from you and I thought I should try to make up now," she said. "I video call you frequently, I know you love me but it's creepy to hear you say that and I know that you are not telling the truth right now" "Are you calling me a liar?" "Digressing from the actual point? Making useless excuses? " Seraphina raised two fingers to the camera as I'd she was counting. "What are you counting?" "Points that would let me know if you are dating him already" "Seraphina" Arabella let out in a flustered tone."Arabella" Seraphina mimicked he

"Hello there," Kimberly said again. Her voice was flirty anyone could hear it from a mile away.Her presence forced a swarm of memories into his brain. He shook a bit by the impact that she had on him. Arabella looked her up and down. She was a bit shaken to see who her supposed competition was. She had heard a bit about Kimberly from Everly. Seeing her in person was quite different from hearing bout her.She was gorgeous and her hair looked like she was straight from the salon. Arabella was almost tempted to compliment her and fan over her beauty. She was quickly reminded that this woman was her competition. Her beauty was the kind that did not need anything extra to enhance it. Arabella could not deny it she was breathtaking. She pushed ahead but was stopped by Kieran's hand."Where are you going?" his eyes searched her gently. She could see and feel the warmth of it and she was glad for it. She was sure he was shaken up to see her because even as a girl she was shaken up by her

Everyone gasped as they heard what Aurora said out loud. She realised what she had done, the words she intended to say to herself had found their way out of her mouth. She let out a flustered grunt as she took a step back, her body hitting the wall behind her."What?" Kimberly was forced to let out. Her mind finally began to understand what was going on and why she was dragged there. Aurora had told her about the relationship between Kieran and a coworker but had assured her that Kieran always only thought about her and was in the relationship to forget her. She could not believe she was pulled into such a mess. Her mind ran wild as she thought of how shameless she had been in the past few minutes. "Kieran," she said gently taking a step towards him."Was this your plan? To humiliate yourself in front of all these people?" Kieran asked with a smirk as he gestured to the room full of staff."I swear I did not know all that," Kimberly said.As much as she still felt a spark for him, she
