Chapter 1371 Extra: Aidan and Phoebe (46)
Happiness was written all over Phoebe's face. She couldn't help but smile at the thought that her efforts were finally paying off.
"Evelyn, thank you." If it weren't for Evelyn's advice, she might still be as reckless as before. If that were the case, Aidan probably wouldn't like her.
Evelyn didn't think so. She knew Aidan's personality well. He was always cold to outsiders, but he and Phoebe became more familiar, he would slowly change.
Evelyn believed that with the way they were getting along, they would end up together sooner or later. She smiled at Phoebe and said, "No need to thank me. This is all the result of your own hard work. If you really want to thank me, remember to pay me a referral fee when you get married."
Phoebe blushed instantly and said a little shyly, "I don't even know when that will be."
"Very soon," Evelyn had a hunch.
The banquet continued, but Aidan seemed a bit distracted. He was talking to a client in front of him, but his peripheral vision kept drifting towards where Phoebe was. He wondered what she and Evelyn were talking about; they seemed very happy.
Finally, the banquet ended. Aidan immediately walked over to Phoebe. "Let's go."
"Okay." Phoebe nodded. She felt like she had changed. She used to be very interested in these kinds of parties, but now she suddenly found them quite boring.
As Aidan and Phoebe stood up, Evelyn also got up. "Alright, bye. Be careful on your way home."
"Okay. you should head back too." Over there, Dermot was already waiting for Evelyn.
The three of them parted ways. Aidan led Phoebe out of the hotel, and Evelyn walked over to Dermot. Watching Aidan and Phoebe leave, she smiled.
Aidan opened the back door, and Phoebe got in first. Then Aidan followed, which surprised her a bit.
Aidan usually sat in the front passenger seat and had never sat in the back with her.
The driver started the car, and the small back seat was filled with the woody scent from Aidan, which was very pleasant and a bit intoxicating.
"Tired?" Aidan asked, with a hint of concern that was hard to describe.
Phoebe's heart raced. Being so close, combined with Aidan's deep, affectionate gaze, she really found it hard to keep her composure. She tried to stay reserved.
She lowered her head, avoiding Aidan's eyes. "Not really." Her body wasn't tired, but being alone with Aidan was quite an ordeal for her.
"Thank you for tonight," Aidan said.
Phoebe didn't find it very tiring. Mainly, being with Aidan made everything seem less of a chore. But if it weren't for him, she definitely wouldn't have come to such a boring party.
"Why are you looking down? Afraid to look at me?" Aidan's voice suddenly sounded above her head. Phoebe's back stiffened, and she bit her lip, not knowing how to respond.
She didn't react, but Aidan wasn't planning to let it go.
Aidan reached out and lifted her chin, making Phoebe look at him. He could easily see her flushed cheeks and couldn't help but chuckle.
Seeing him laugh, Phoebe got upset. "Why are you smiling so brightly? I'm not that easy to seduce."
Hearing this, Aidan couldn't help but laugh."So what are you planning to do?" Aidan looked at her, his eyes seemingly expecting her to do something.
