Chapter 301 Bring your husband as well.
Although Arwen didn't remember anything from the past, when she said those words, Aiden's heart got still. His brows furrowed and he stared at her as if trying to find the answer to something he already knew.
"What's happened?" Arwen asked when she saw wrinkles appearing on his forehead.
"Why did you say that?" Aiden asked, and feeling puzzled at his question, she asked back.
"What did I say?"
Frowning, he spoke with a sense of urgency. "Your confidence just now. You said that I will come back and you know it."
Arwen smiled and then reached up to cup one side of his face. "Because I know you will. I don't know why but I am simply confident that no matter where you go, you will always come back to me."
She didn't know the reason behind her confidence, but it seemed like she was confident about it. Her consciousness was confident of him.
Aiden smiled. Those words came so exact that it almost make him believe that she remembered it all. But even if she didn't, he wasn't disheartened, because he was happy to know that that somewhere in the back of her mind, she still remembered the promises he made to her and the confidence she offered him.
"I will always come back to you," he repeated and it made Arwen's lips only curve deeper. Nodding, she agreed.
"I know your hesitation, Arwen," Beca interjected before Arwen could fully reject her. "But dear, don't forget that we always treated you as our daughter. If you choose to break off that sentiment with us, don't you think you would be doing an injustice to us? After all, you know that we never differentiated between you and Ryan. To us, you were always more like the daughter we wished to always have but never had."
At those words, Arwen hesitated. Not because she felt that Beca was exaggerating it, but because she knew what she was saying was true. Whenever her mother wasn't there, Beca always was.
Even Gareth has always been like her father. He would bring her a present on his every return from a business trip and take care of her as her father had always had.
So, now that Beca has put it like that, she felt guilty for refusing her straight. If felt like she was doing something that might not be necessary to be done.
"Arwen," she heard Beca speak again. "I know you have moved on and I even supported your decision because I know what you did was the right thing. And trust me I still support you there. If you think that I might pester you to accept Ryan again, trust me, I would never do that. Not after knowing what Ryan did to you. And Neither Gareth would. So, don't keep yourself away from that thought. I called to invite you home as your godmother, not as Ryan's mother. So, I hope you won't refuse me without considering it once."
Arwen paused for a moment and gave it a thought. After deciding, she said, "Aunt Beca, I will visit you and Uncle Gareth soon. I can't tell you about the time yet, because I would have to check it once."
She said and just as she completed, she heard Beca's delighted voice.
"That's great," Beca said and then smoothly added, "It's fine. Take your time and decide. I will wait." She paused for a second and then added again, "Also, Arwen," there was a slight hesitation, but regardless of that she spoke, "If it's okay, bring your husband as well. We would love to meet him."
Arwen smiled and nodded. "Sure, Aunt Beca. I will ask him and tell you."
With that, the two of them shared a few more pleasantries before disconnecting the call. Once the call was hung up, Arwen lost in the thought. She didn't know whether she did the right thing or not, but thinking how Beca and Gareth had treated her over the years, she couldn't bring herself to become strangers with them.
