All Chapters of Too Late, Mr. White! I'm Married To Your Rival Now: Chapter 191 - Chapter 200

Aria's POVI woke up as sunlight streamed through the curtains, stretching my limbs across the empty bed. Aiden had already gone, even though I'd fallen asleep before he finished his shower last night. Funny how I went to bed first but still woke up later."God, I'm such a sleepyhead," I muttered, rubbing my face in embarrassment. Tomorrow, I swore to myself, I'd start being a proper morning person.After breakfast, I walked Aiden to the door before his early meeting. The morning breeze played with my hair as he stood at the doorway, his hand resting lightly on my waist."I'm heading to the office now," he said, his voice deep and smooth. "We're having dinner at my uncle's tonight.""Mmm-hmm," I nodded, looking up at him. "Drive safely."His hand lingered on my waist, making no move to leave. I raised an eyebrow."Don't you have that meeting?" I asked, confused. "Won't you be late?""Yes," he acknowledged softly, a playful glea

Aria's POVI stared at Aiden sitting on the couch, his eyes soft but inviting as he patted the space beside him."You look like you're calling a puppy," I said, staying put."Not a puppy." His lips curved into that devastatingly handsome smile that always made my stomach flip.I raised an eyebrow, finally moving toward him. As I approached, he chuckled low in his throat."More like calling a bunny.""Seriously?" I rolled my eyes, turning to leave. "I'm not an animal!"Before I could take another step, Aiden moved with lightning speed. His strong arms wrapped around my waist, pulling me into his lap."Stay," he whispered, his breath tickling my ear. "Just let me hold you for a while."Looking down at me with those dark eyes swimming with desire, he made it impossible to resist. Something about the way he said "stay" worked like magic on me. I relaxed against his chest, inhaling his familiar sandalwood cologne.My h

Aria's POVMy period finally ended, and I felt alive again after days of feeling like death warmed over.Lillian texted to meet up for dinner, and the timing couldn't be better since Aiden was out of town on business. With my mood lifting post-period, I decided to put in some effort—applying a full face of makeup and slipping into a pretty maxi dress, even though it was just dinner with my bestie.Lillian had been slaving away at work all week, and the moment the clock hit five on Friday, she bolted out with her purse swinging. Overtime? As if! She was done with that life.We'd booked this restaurant she'd been dying to try for ages—the kind of place where reservations are like gold dust. Being the "lady of leisure" that I am these days, I arrived early and snagged us the perfect window table."So how are those in-laws treating you? They giving you any trouble?" Lillian asked, eyeing me over her menu.I took a sip of

Aria's POVI was jolted awake by my phone ringing, my body aching deliciously from last night's passionate lovemaking with Aiden.It was my father Benjamin calling. Today marked my twenty-seventh birthday."Happy birthday, sweetheart," he said warmly. "Your gift will be delivered shortly.""Thanks, Dad! I'll come over tonight for dinner," I replied, smiling into the phone.Benjamin chuckled. "Enjoy your day with Aiden instead. I've made plans to go fishing with David anyway."I didn't quite believe his convenient "fishing plans," but appreciated the thoughtful gesture. "Then we'll come over tomorrow for dinner instead.""Perfect!"After hanging up, I noticed my phone had exploded with birthday messages from friends. I spent the next fifteen minutes replying to each one, feeling warm inside from all the love.Then my thoughts drifted to Aiden. It was my birthday—did he even remember?As if summoned by my thou

Aria's POVI couldn't help but laugh at his jealousy. "Aiden Carter, you get jealous way too easily.""As long as you know it," he replied in that deep voice that always made my stomach flutter.Before I could respond, he tilted my chin up and captured my lips with his. The sudden kiss stole my breath away. My fingers instinctively clutched at his shirt as he gently nibbled my lower lip, treating it like a delicate morsel he couldn't get enough of.My breathing grew heavier with each passing second. The afternoon air felt electric, crackling with tension between us. When he slipped his hand under the hem of my shirt, the cool rush of air against my skin momentarily cleared my head.I pushed against his chest lightly, resisting. Aiden's hand continued caressing my waist, his palm burning hot against my skin. That heat spread through my entire body, reaching my heart, frightening me with its intensity."Aiden—" I pushed harder this time,
