Chapter 1370 Extra: Aidan and Phoebe (45)
Arlene heard it and instantly felt a chill down her spine. She couldn't believe that Aidan would really go against the Hensley family for Phoebe.
The Hensley Group was no worse than the Brooks Group now. If Aidan really did that, it would definitely result in mutual destruction. She didn't believe he would do such a thing.
Aidan held Phoebe and changed their position, then handed her a cup of hot water. "Don't take Arlene's words to heart. I'll make sure she gets the punishment she deserves."
Phoebe took the water from Aidan. In fact, she wasn't scared at all. Instead, his series of actions just now made her heart race uncontrollably.
"Actually, it's nothing. You don't have to do that for me." She didn't want to cause trouble for Aidan.
Aidan didn't react much to her words. "You are with me. If she bullies you, it's like doing the same to me."
The words "my person" made Phoebe blush. She was very happy but still tried to stay clear-headed. "Won't it cause any trouble?"
"Don't worry. I'll handle it." Aidan didn't want Phoebe to worry about these things. These were his problems to solve.
At this moment, Phoebe truly felt the sensation of being protected. It was wonderful.
After comforting Phoebe for a while, Aidan got up and left. Before leaving, he specifically called Evelyn to stay with her, just in case something like that happened again.
When Evelyn was called over by Aidan, she had a smile on her face. In fact, even if he hadn't called her, she would have come over. The relationship between Aidan and Phoebe was progressing rapidly, and she definitely had to come and see.
After Aidan walked away, Evelyn looked at Phoebe beside her. "Your face is so red. What did Aidan just say?"
"Evelyn, you did that on purpose, didn't you?" Phoebe didn't answer Evelyn's question but asked another one instead.
Evelyn nodded. "Although it was a bit risky, the rewards are quite significant now."
She saw it very clearly. Just in that short moment, the atmosphere between Aidan and Phoebe had obviously changed.
"You..." Phoebe wanted to scold her, but in the end, she couldn't bring herself to do it. Just like Evelyn said, although the risk was high, the rewards were also substantial. Otherwise, she couldn't have heard Aidan say those words.
"Tell me, how are things progressing with Aidan?" Evelyn was very curious. She had nothing else to worry about now, and Aidan's marriage was the only thing keeping her up at night.
Phoebe recounted everything that had happened in the past few days. In the end, she asked, "Evelyn, what do you think Aidan means? Does he like me or not?"
Phoebe now felt that Aidan liked her one moment and then thought he had no interest in her the next. She was almost going crazy.
"Isn't it obvious?" Evelyn shook her head helplessly and thought, ' This doesn't look like disinterest at all. Aidan might as well have "I like you" written on his face. How can Phoebe still have doubts?'
"Is it obvious?" Phoebe was confused. She had guessed it but couldn't be sure.
Evelyn put her hand on Phoebe's shoulder and said earnestly, "I can tell you with certainty that Aidan definitely likes you. So, keep it up."
