Aiden Lennox seemed a bit irritable. He grabbed the wine glass next to him and drank the wine in one gulp, looking straight into her eyes. Suddenly, he blurted out, "Summer, do you know how much I wished that the person you turned to when you were cornered was me!"
Boom!
Summer Ford stared at him in astonishment, her face turning a shade paler.
Aiden Lennox's gaze lingered on her lips, his face slowly inching closer to hers. He stopped just an inch from her nose, and with a breath as soft as orchids, he added, "Even if it meant marriage!"
Summer Ford looked at him with vacant eyes, as if questioning what she had just heard.
"In the past, whenever you had problems, you always came to me for help. Why was it different that time? Why didn't you think of me?" Aiden Lennox's lips twitched into a mocking smile, his question delivered slowly.
