"No."
Aiden Shaw's cool voice carried an air of finality, and his expression was frosty.
Before Zachary could speak, Hannah cut in, "What kind of trouble are you causing? Hurry up and drive me home."
With that, Hannah stood up and started dragging him toward the door.
"Hey, how come nothing I say is okay anymore? Are you two deliberately trying to piss me off? Didn't we all used to stay over here often?"
"So just because Aiden Shaw says no, I have to go scrambling off with my tail between my legs?"
"Hannah, damn it, are you even listening to what I'm saying… Hey, hey! I haven't even put my shoes back on!"
Only when the sound of his grumbling faded into the distance did Laura wearily massage her temples and rest her head on Aiden's shoulder.
'I'm so tired and sleepy right now.'
"Tired?"
Aiden tilted his head, his chin gently brushing against her hair. His voice was filled with an indescribable tenderness.
