Chapter 300 Husband, I will wait for you.
Arwen's hands remained in mid-air, holding the chocolate while she blinked at Aiden, who stood by the door, staring at her as if he had caught her red-handed.
Even though Arwen was not guilty, under his gaze like that, she felt like she was caught stealing.
"What?" she asked, defensive. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Aiden raised his brow at his defensive tone. His eyes slowly darted to her hands before zeroing in on the chocolate. "What are you having?" he asked.
"Chocolate," she said, not holding any breath of hesitation. "And I didn't steal it. So don't look at me like that."
Aiden walked in, taking his steps to her side. Reaching her, his eyes settled on the familiar golden box of chocolates that he had seen at Granna's place. 'Of course, you are not stealing,' he muttered under his breath and Arwen grunted, clearing her throat again.@@@@
"Of course," she said, before looking the box on her lap. "I got this from Granna, remember."
He nodded. But his brows soon tugged in a frown. "But why are you having it now? Didn't you just complete your breakfast?"
"I did," she replied but then reasoned. "But who said I can't have chocolate after having breakfast? I like these very much and it's almost a ritual to have them every day."
It was then Aiden noticed something. He calculated the days in mind and exactly the count of the chocolate matched his calculation. She had been having one every day.
Just as he completed his words, Arwen stuffed the box in his hand and urged quickly, "Then look at it freely. Who is stopping you?"
Aiden shook his head at her before taking the box in his hand and reading the details. Once done, he said, "I know this brand," he said and then added, "I will get them for you once you complete it all."
"Really?" she asked with a delightful surprise. "That's good. Anyway, Granna said this was the last time she had brought me these. For the next time, I have to trouble you."
"It's not a trouble," he said, adding, "Let me know when before they get over and I will ask someone to ship a batch to you." Although he said that, a subtle hint of suspicion remained in his eyes.
While he remained in his thoughts for a while, Arwen was reminded of something. Her pupils dilated slightly as her hand held his. "Why are you still here?" she asked, blinking at him with some seriousness. But when she saw Aiden confused at her words, she quickly added to remind, "Didn't you have a meeting with Tanner Group?"
"I still have the meeting," he replied, before checking his watch. "And I came back to the room to change."
"Then go and change," Arwen already pushed him gently to make him get back to his feet. "I have already helped to pick out another set," she said and then pointed him to look at the set of clothes, she has kept ready there.
Aiden nodded and then moved to make the change. Once ready, he stepped out ready to leave. Adjusting his cuffs, he said, "I might get a bit late today. Don't wait for me."
Arwen nodded as if she accepted his words. But just when he turned to leave, she said from behind. "I will wait for you. Don't be late, husband."
He paused in his steps and then turned to look at her. To which she smiled and added, "Don't look at me like that and make it look like I am doing something you wouldn't do. I am just acting right and I will be happy if you appreciate it as much as I do."
She then walked up to him and helped him adjust the collar of his shirt. "Husband, I will wait for you, no matter how late you are because I know you will come back to me for sure."
