Chapter 1366 Extra: Aidan and Phoebe (41)
Her hand was just about to touch the necklace when Aidan snatched it. "Looks killer on you."
Phoebe hesitated. "But..."
"You're my plus-one at this party, so can you just trust me?" Aidan's voice was softer than usual.
Phoebe snapped back to reality and figured he didn't want her to embarrass him, hence the flashy diamond necklace.
She gave up on taking it off and tried to pull her hand free from Aidan's grip but couldn't. "I won't take it off, just let go of me first."
Aidan finally let go, looking a bit awkward. After a brief pause, he said, "Let's roll. It's time."
"Okay." Phoebe blushed and nodded, following Aidan.
The dress was a bit long, so Phoebe had to hold up the hem as she slowly walked out of the villa. Seeing her struggle, Aidan didn't hesitate and scooped her up in his arms.
"What are you doing?" Phoebe was startled, totally unprepared for Aidan's move.
Before she knew it, Aidan had carried her to the car, opened the passenger door, and placed her inside. "Let's not waste time."
Phoebe blushed, wanting to say something, but ultimately kept quiet. Right, she couldn't waste Aidan's time.
The car quickly started and headed towards the party venue.
In the car, both Aidan and Phoebe stayed silent, feeling a bit awkward. Luckily, the venue wasn't far, and they soon arrived at the entrance.
Aidan got out first, then walked around to the passenger side, opened the door for Phoebe, and extended his hand to help her out.
Phoebe was dressed in a black gown, and Aidan, to match her, was also in black. As they appeared at the venue, they looked like night elves, drawing everyone's attention.
The reporters' cameras followed Aidan and Phoebe, snapping photos non-stop. Phoebe felt a bit intimidated by the cameras; it had been a long time since she had experienced such a scene.
The next second, she was pulled into Aidan's embrace, surrounded by his unique woody scent, making her heart race uncontrollably.
The reporters exclaimed that it seemed like Aidan and Phoebe's relationship was heating up.
Aidan held Phoebe as they walked into the venue. There were many people inside, and quite a few looked their way, but it wasn't as overwhelming as outside, allowing Phoebe to relax a bit. However, Aidan showed no intention of letting go, making her blush even more. "You can let go of me now."
"Okay." Aidan didn't insist, but the sudden emptiness in his arms left him feeling a bit lost.
Not far away, Evelyn and Dermot had arrived early, so they saw Aidan and Phoebe as soon as they entered and didn't miss their interactions.
Evelyn smiled brightly. "When do you think Aidan and Phoebe will become a couple?"
Dermot had no interest in this, but since Evelyn asked, he replied, "Probably soon."
He hadn't missed the way Aidan looked at Phoebe. As a man, he could know it more clearly. He was pleased with this outcome. After all, Aidan used to like Evelyn, and he had always worried that Aidan still had feelings for her. Now it seemed Aidan had fallen for Phoebe, which was good news for him.
Evelyn had no idea what he was thinking. Hearing Dermot's response, she nodded repeatedly. "I think they'll be together soon too."
