Chapter 232 A Sudden Confession!

Day Twenty Five…

~~*****~~

'What the hell is he doing here?' Cherry was looking at Aiden with disbelief. She had the urge to hit this guy who suddenly appeared from out of nowhere.

Meanwhile, Spade darted his gaze back and forth between Black Rose and Black Knight or rather Cherry and Aiden. When he met Aiden's gaze, Aiden shot Spade a cold sharp glare.

Spade just blinked his eyes while looking at Aiden. He didn't know why this strange guy was giving him a deathly glare. He didn't even know him. And how dare he interrupt Black Rose's introduction? He was supposed to hold her hand but Aiden took it away from him.

"Engr. Wu, what are you doing here?" Cherry asked him, tightening her grip on his hand. She was giving him a warning look.

"Aww! Aww!" Aiden winced because of Cherry's tight hold.

Spade laughed inwardly seeing how pissed Cherry was because of this strange guy. But he could tell that the two were acquainted with each other.

It did not take long before Cherry let go of his hand. Aiden could only endure the pain while rubbing his hand. He had to look strong in front of this guy. He sensed that the guy in front of him might become his rival.

"I just passed by and I saw you. I came here to greet you. How about you? What are you doing here? Abigail is looking for you." Aiden lied.

Cherry was taken aback at the mention of Abigail. She was still feeling guilty for leaving without saying goodbye in person. She just left her a letter. She was too embarrassed to face her. She refused Abigail's offer as she chose the Red Dragon Mafia.

She just didn't want Abigail to get involved with her problems. She wanted to fix them alone. She didn't want to be a burden to her.

Spade glanced at Cherry meaningfully. He wanted to talk to her alone but a third wheel suddenly showed up. Their flight would be at Two o'clock.

"Engr. Wu, you should go. You shouldn't be here," Cherry said in her cold voice. She and Spade had to talk about something and they would have to check in after half an hour. Spade asked her to meet there for a few briefings.

But Aiden didn't plan to leave her with that pretty boy. Besides, Abigail already gave him the order not to let Cherry leave the city. She said that it was for Cherry's sake.

Without asking their permission, Aiden sat next to Spade. He even wrapped his arm around his shoulder.

"Hello, Bro. What's your name?" Aiden avoided looking at Cherry. She was glaring at him because Aiden ignored her words.

'Follow current novels ON N (ovelB in.)',

Spade felt annoyed by Aiden's confidence and playful attitude. He was acting friendly now. He knew Aiden was just faking it since a while ago, Aiden was looking daggers at him.

"I'm Spa–" Spade stopped midway after seeing Cherry's intense gaze. He almost forgot. He shouldn't give away his alias.

"I'm Xander… how about you?" Spade forced a smile to appear friendly in front of Cherry.

"I'm Aiden. Nice meeting you, Bro. What is your relationship with Cherry?" Aiden asked him directly, picking up the untouched coffee in front of him and taking a seep.

Cherry facepalmed because of Aiden's shamelessness. He took Spade's coffee without even asking for his permission.

"You don't have to know…" Cherry pouted her lips and crossed her arms over her chest.

Spade gazed up at Cherry. 'So her real name is Cherry. Nice name… her lips are like cherries.' Spade smiled inwardly at that thought.

Aiden secretly glanced at his phone. He was wondering if Abigail was already in the airport. He already told her about their current location.

Cherry already looked annoyed and he was afraid that Cherry would beat him up. She was strong for a woman. He couldn't afford to be embarrassed in front of his rival.

"Engr. Wu… I am here to talk to my friend. Can't you feel that you are not welcome here? Can you please give us some privacy?" Cherry could no longer take it. Aiden's presence was stopping Spade and her from talking about Phantomflake and the Red Dragon Mafia.

Spade let out a soft chuckle. He was glad that Cherry was sending Aiden away. However, Aiden was so stubborn. He wouldn't listen to her since Abigail was more frightening than Cherry. He shouldn't fail this task.

He just put on a pitiful face and pretended to be hurt. "Why are you so harsh to me?"

Cherry was at a loss for words. Aiden was like a child… a crybaby. 'Come on. Man up a little!' Cherry rubbed her forehead.

A few seconds later, they heard their flight announcement.

"Good afternoon passengers. This is the pre-boarding announcement for flight A2RB to Country J. We are now inviting the passengers to proceed to Gate 3. Please have your boarding pass, passport, and identification card ready. Regular boarding will begin in approximately ten minutes from now. Thank you."

"That's our flight! Let's go!" Spade stood up and closed his laptop, putting it inside his backpack.

"Eh? Leaving already?" Aiden also stood up, roaming his eyes around the Cafe. He didn't see Abigail.

[ Abi! Where are you now? I don't know if I can stop Cherry. Their flight's announcement has been announced. They are going to the boarding gate now. ]

'',

Aiden sent Abigail an urgent message. Spade and Cherry exchanged glances with one another. Cherry immediately grabbed Spade's hand. She was thinking of dragging him as fast as she could to escape from Aiden. She didn't want to be bothered by this rich and playful bachelor.

[ Aiden: Miss Abi, where are you now? ]

[ Abigail: I'm near the airport. Please buy me more time. If you let her leave, you will be dead meat to me! ]

With no choice left, Aiden swiftly moved, grabbing Cherry's elbow tightly thus stopping her both. Cherry and Spade turned in his direction, giving him a questioning look.

"What are you doing, Engr. Wu. Let go of my hand." Cherry sounded mad already. She didn't have time for his childishness.

Spade was about to remove Aiden's hand that was holding Cherry when suddenly Aiden let go of her elbow but he stepped forward, blocking their way.

The next thing he did surprised Cherry and Spade, including everyone who was inside the Cafe.

Aiden kneeled in front of Cherry, grabbing her two hands. Without breaking their eye contact, Aiden said, "Cherry, please don't leave me. Don't come with him. Please choose me."

Cherry: "..."

Spade: "..."

Aiden didn't stop talking. He even spoke loudly so that everyone inside could hear his next words.

"Cherry! I LIKE YOU! PLEASE BE MY GIRLFRIEND!"

Everyone cheered when they heard that sudden confession from this gorgeous guy kneeling in front of a pretty lady. The three of them became the center of attention inside the Cafe. They were intrigued by how Cherry would respond to his confession.

"Oh my! This is a love triangle!"

"Oh, the woman is so lucky. Two handsome boys are fighting over her!"

"Take pictures…"

Click! Click!

"Wait… the guy… he looks familiar. Is he Aiden Wu?!! The famous Aiden Wu??!"
