Aria's POV

I had no idea what to say. This was exactly what I'd meant to discuss, but suddenly I was terrified he might think I was after his money. Why did I have to open this can of worms?

I fidgeted with my hands, pressing my fingernails into my palms. God, I wished someone would burst through the door right now and rescue me from this awkward silence.

The room was so quiet I could hear my own accelerated heartbeat pounding in my ears.

I pressed harder into my palms, desperately searching fo

  • Too Late, Mr. White! I'm Married To Your Rival Now   Chapter 300 Whisper

    Aria’s POVI stepped out of the hospital room, a question already forming on my lips, turning to Aiden with curiosity etched across my face. "What prompted your sudden visit?"Aiden looked at me, a subtle, charming smirk playing at the corners of his mouth. "If I didn't show up, I'd be failing as a proper son-in-law, wouldn't I?"I felt a warm flush creep up my cheeks. "Dad knows how incredibly busy you are.""Never too busy for this," he corrected softly, taking my hand in his. His fingers were warm, familiar, a comforting anchor against mine. "Besides, it's Saturday. I'm supposed to be off work anyway."I glanced up at him, suddenly remembering the lingering issue. "Did you manage to find out anything about who's been calling my dad? I checked his call history earlier, when I had his phone, but everything had been wiped clean."Aiden’s expression grew serious, his gaze dropping to meet mine. "Not yet. Whoever it is, they're clever—us

  • Too Late, Mr. White! I'm Married To Your Rival Now   Chapter 299 New Beginning

    Aria’s POVI woke to brilliant sunlight streaming through the windows. Squinting against the brightness, I raised a hand to shield my eyes and reached for my phone on the bedside table.When I saw the time, any lingering sleepiness vanished instantly. Eight-thirty already! Memories of our passionate night together flooded back, sending a delicious, private heat rushing to my cheeks. The intensity of our connection, the raw emotion in his eyes as he’d looked at me—it all made my heart race even now, a thrilling, secret rhythm.After a quick, solitary breakfast, I told Nanny I’d be back for lunch, then headed straight for the hospital. Dad was scheduled for a complete physical today, a crucial step before his stent placement surgery, which would hopefully be set for next Tuesday if all his tests checked out okay.When I arrived at his hospital room, a nurse informed me he was already at the examination center. After getting precise direction

  • Too Late, Mr. White! I'm Married To Your Rival Now   Chapter 298 Hot Night

    Aria's POVWe finally made it back to the mansion just before midnight. I'd been fighting to keep my eyes open during the drive home. Aiden noticed me yawning constantly and immediately suggested I take a shower when we arrived.My biological clock was killing me. I wiped away the tears that formed in the corners of my eyes from yawning so much, took the water glass from his hand, and headed toward our bedroom, sipping as I walked.After my shower, I felt a bit more awake. When Aiden walked into the bedroom, I instinctively looked up at him, wanting to ask if he was feeling any better after our cemetery visit. But when my eyes met his, I suddenly felt shy.Tonight had been quite the adventure—climbing over walls and nearly getting caught. Looking back, it was actually pretty funny. I never expected Aiden would do something like that with me.My original intention was to cheer him up, but thinking about it now, I couldn't tell who was cheering up whom.

  • Too Late, Mr. White! I'm Married To Your Rival Now   Chapter 297 His Wife

    Aria's POVI instinctively looked ahead when I heard his voice, my gaze drawn by the quiet reverence in his tone.Katherine's grave stood alone, a semi-circular structure covering nearly ten square meters. The black marble headstone, standing over three feet tall, held a black and white photograph that somehow seemed to shimmer with an almost ethereal clarity in the moonlight.I had, of course, heard countless stories about Katherine—the woman who had filled so many critical gaps in his life since childhood. But this was my first time seeing her face, truly seeing the woman who had shaped so much of the man I loved.The woman in the photo had shoulder-length hair and a gentle expression, yet it held a touch of profound vulnerability. Just looking at her, I felt an instinctive urge to reach out, to offer comfort."She is beautiful," I said softly, turning to look at Aiden, my voice filled with genuine admiration.Just like a mother's gentle spirit,

  • Too Late, Mr. White! I'm Married To Your Rival Now   Chapter 296 A Familiar Feeling

    Aria's POVAs I sat perched on top of the cemetery wall, something about this moment felt strangely familiar. The moonlight, the darkness, even the way Aiden stood below with his arms outstretched—it triggered something deep in my memory that I couldn't quite place."Having second thoughts?" Aiden called up, a hint of teasing in his voice.I snapped back to reality and positioned myself at the edge. Without overthinking it, I pushed off and let myself fall into his waiting arms. The sensation of falling was brief—his strong arms caught me effortlessly, securing me against his chest. The familiar scent of his cologne—sandalwood with subtle hints of cedar—enveloped me immediately.I found myself staring up at his face, studying the sharp angles illuminated by moonlight. A strange feeling of déjà vu washed over me."Aiden," I asked, my voice barely above a whisper, "have we met before? Before all this, I mean?"I watch

  • Too Late, Mr. White! I'm Married To Your Rival Now   Chapter 295 Trust Me

    Aria's POV"Of course," I answered without hesitation. In all the time I'd known him, I'd never seen him this subdued, this vulnerable. Whatever was going on, it was serious.The car started moving again, leaving the city lights behind as we drove further into the darkness. Twenty minutes later, we pulled over again.This time I was smarter. I peered out the window first, trying to figure out where we were before making any assumptions. But all I could see was darkness—no buildings, no signs, nothing familiar.If it had been anyone else but Aiden bringing me to a place like this, I might have been concerned for my safety. The thought made me smile a little—I trusted him completely.He turned off the engine but made no move to get out. "Today is the anniversary of Katherine's death," he said quietly. "She is my godmother."I felt a jolt run through me as I looked ahead more carefully. Finally, I recognized where we were.A cemetery. That
