Chapter 1393 Extra: Aidan and Phoebe (68)
Phoebe suddenly spoke, catching everyone by surprise. Ariana was also taken aback and quickly explained, "Ms. Irvine, you misunderstood. That's not what I meant. I just think that if Theodore follows his father, it will be better for his future development, and it will also reduce a lot of your pressure."
"No need for your kindness. I'll raise Theodore myself," Phoebe snorted coldly, not giving her any respect.
Ariana's face turned a bit grim. Aidan, seeing this, had no choice but to say, "We will have our own children. As for Theodore, whoever likes him can take him."
Even though Phoebe knew Aidan said this deliberately for Ariana to hear, it still sounded particularly harsh to her. She looked up at him in front of her, unable to discern the truth in his words for a moment.
She thought of last night when Aidan explained everything to her. He said he didn't like Ariana at all and never thought of marrying her. But the deep affection in his eyes at this moment didn't seem fake. Phoebe felt she couldn't see through him.
"Sorry, I need to go to the restroom." She didn't want to stay here for another minute, especially seeing the deep affection in Aidan's eyes. Every second was torture for her.
Evelyn quickly got up to follow her, not forgetting to glare at Aidan before leaving. She thought, 'Since it is an act, does Aidan have to be so serious? Saying such things, doesn't he know it will be hurtful?'
Aidan was also helpless. Ariana wasn't a fool. If he didn't speak harshly, she wouldn't believe him.
Seeing Evelyn and Phoebe walk away, Ariana felt a bit guilty and said, "Ms. Irvine seems a bit upset. Aidan, you shouldn't have said that."
"Why should I care if she's upset? I only care about you," Aidan looked at Ariana, his eyes full of deep affection.
Even though Ariana knew Phoebe had stayed at Aidan's villa for a while and had suspected the relationship between them, at this moment, facing Aidan's deep affection, she couldn't help but start to like him.
Aidan was capable, handsome, and treated her well. She really couldn't find a reason not to like him.
"Aidan, you're so good," she shyly leaned against Aidan's chest, feeling like the happiest woman in the world at that moment.
Aidan held her. If Ariana had looked up at his face at that moment, she would have seen that the deep affection had long disappeared, replaced entirely by indifference.
In the restroom, Phoebe wiped the corners of her eyes with water, not wanting anyone to see she had been crying.
Evelyn walked in and saw Phoebe's red-rimmed eyes, feeling distressed. "Phoebe, don't take Aidan's words to heart. It was obviously said for Ariana to hear."
"I know." Phoebe smiled and nodded. "I just feel a bit down. I'll be fine in a while."
"If you don't want to see them, we can just leave," she regretted agreeing to have dinner with Ariana and Aidan. It was purely to make Phoebe sad.
At this moment, Phoebe didn't agree, "Like you said, if I leave now, it will seem like I'm afraid of her."
She wasn't afraid of her. The ones who could hurt her were the people she cared about.
"Are you sure you're okay?" Evelyn was still a bit worried.
Phoebe said, "I'm fine."
Then, Phoebe tidied up her makeup in the restroom and returned to the restaurant with Evelyn.
At this moment, the waiter had already served the dishes. Aidan was feeding Ariana, and from a distance, they looked like a perfect couple.
