That might not be the reply that Aiden was looking forward to but at that mont, her intention and gesture spoke it all. And that was everything he desired.
Her.
He would always ignore the past, as long as they have the present and future together.
Arwen might have thought of those words in haste, but she didn't lie when she said that. Her past might be anything, but her present was her Aiden, her husband. And to her, he matters the most.
She believed it but she wasn't sure if he would choose to believe it or not. If he didn't, she didn't know how she would prove and hence she kissed him to make him feel what she felt in the bottom of her heart.
"You matter to , Mr. Winslow," she repeated, her arms still wrapped around his shoulders and her lips inches apart. "I don't know if I sound sincere enough or not. Or, how should I prove it to you? But I want you to believe in that. To , Ryan is just my past —with whom I never ant to be."
She said and her words just felt like blabbers because from the start till the end, Aiden didn't speak a word. And just when she felt that she had failed to make him understand, she heard his deep voice, which ca low but deep.
"You want to know?" how you can prove it?" he asked, and Arwen stared at him, for a mont, blinking.
"Huh?"
Aiden stared into her eyes before darting to look at her lips that had fleetingly graced his lips monts ago. "You said you don't know how to prove it. So I asked do you want to know?" His gaze remained as intense as ever, like a dark abyss, pulling her to the depths.
Arwen still didn't understand fully what he ant. His tone like that often carried a dark allure that was simply too blinding. Under the effects, she would even willingly give up herself if he asked her to.
So, even if she didn't know what he was asking her to sign for, she nodded.
And the mont she did, she didn't get the chance to think again. She didn't know how she was pulled but she felt herself flush against him, with his lips pressed against his. It seed simple and chaste at first, but soon she felt his passion devouring her like never before.
She felt lost, yet beautifully found.
"It's very easy, Moon." She heard him utter in between the kiss. "You don't have to prove anything."
He said and his words montarily confused her. She was about to ask him but before she could, she heard him again.
"As long as you say it, I will believe it. But if you still want to know how to lt instantly …" he paused, and Arwen vividly felt his lips tugging up on the corners to form a smirk. "… you can give yourself and I will sell my whole world to you."
With those words, he kissed her again, this ti in a much more gentler way as if trying to coax him to believe in his promise.
Like always, Arwen couldn't bring herself to doubt his words. But then suddenly a thought popped up in her thoughts and her brows tugged in a frown.
Unwrapping one arm from his shoulders, she gently brought it in between them, pressing it against his chest before pushing him a little. "Wait!" she stopped him, before eying him with accusation.
Aiden halted and stared at her.
Arwen pulled away and sat back on her chair, before looking at him with a serious gaze. "If you would really believe whatever I would say, then why did you make a fuss over such a little thing? Shouldn't you have believed the very mont I said that Ryan was just an ex? Why did you have to scare , making it look like you were almost there, ready to misunderstand ?"
Aiden didn't answer her imdiately, rather he simply kept his stare on her as if coming up with an answer that would sound more logical at that mont.
When Arwen saw him like that, she couldn't help but purse her lips at him. "Husband, you better have a logic to explain it to , or else I am not letting this whole thing slide off," she warned as she repeated. "So, tell , if making you believe is so easy as to just state it to you, then why did you look like you were about to destroy the whole world minutes ago?"
"Because you never said it," he replied, and his words confused her.
Furrowing her brows, she asked, puzzled, "Huh?"
"As long as you say, I would believe it," Aiden repeated. "But you didn't say anything, then how do you expect to believe it?"
Arwen was speechless …
Did she really say nothing?
"Wait," she rembered sothing and quickly retorted, "I did tell you that Ryan is my ex-fiancé and not my ex-boyfriend. The key term was ex, which ans past and not present."
Aiden simply shrugged his shoulders before turning back to his plate and lifting his fork to resu. "But you never said why he ca looking for you if he was your 'past'?"
As he said that, he forked the at and moved to eat it without much effort.
Arwen once again felt speechless …
Was he serious?
Or was he just playing out the word ga?
And one second, Ryan ca looking for her. Was he finally asking about it now? She almost thought that he would never ask her. But who knew this man held grudges stronger than anything else?
Shaking her head internally, she stared at him. Then taking in a deep breath, she said, "Didn't Carl already tell you about it all at night? I thought you already knew that and were no longer interested in knowing about it from ."
