Alle Kapitel von Too Late, Mr. White! I'm Married To Your Rival Now: Kapitel 231 – Kapitel 240

Aria's POVWe finally left the restaurant, heading back to the hotel. The food had been amazing, but I was feeling that familiar drowsiness that comes after a satisfying meal."I think I need a nap," I said, glancing at Aiden as we entered our suite. "Care to join me?""Give me a few minutes. I need to make some work calls first," he replied, already pulling out his phone.I nodded and made my way to the king-sized bed, sinking into the plush mattress. Though exhaustion weighed on my limbs, sleep refused to come. Every time I closed my eyes, images of Aiden flooded my mind—his intense gaze, his strong hands, the way his muscles moved beneath his shirt. I'd been so busy preparing for the competition this past week, leaving home early and returning late, completely drained of energy. We barely had time to talk, let alone anything else.The mattress suddenly dipped behind me, pulling me from my thoughts. I tensed momentarily before feeling Aiden

Aria's POVThe silence behind me was worrying. Maybe I'd pushed it too far with the jet ski. I immediately slowed down, bringing us about a hundred meters from shore.Out here, our section of water was peaceful and calm, far from the bustling activity happening a kilometer away.I stopped completely and glanced back at Aiden. "Was I going too fast?"With his helmet on, I couldn't make out his expression."I thought you liked it fast, Mrs. Carter," he replied, his voice low and delicious in my ear.I felt my cheeks flush. "You could've told me if it was too much.""It's fine. I like whatever you like.""Really?""When have I ever lied to you?"He hadn't. Ever.My lips curved into a smile. "Aiden, I want to give you a little gift.""Oh?"I glanced up at the drone tracking our movements for safety purposes but didn't explain further. "Hold on tight, okay?"The next second, I gunned the eng

Aria's POV：I ran toward Aiden as he approached, my footsteps slowing only when I reached him. "What are you doing over here?" I asked, breathless. I knew he typically avoided crowded places like this beach.Aiden reached out, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear that the sea breeze had dislodged. "Because my wife is here," he replied simply.Someone in the crowd groaned loudly, "Ugh, I'm just passing by. Why am I being force-fed dog food?" The American slang for public displays of affection made my cheeks burn.My face flushed crimson. I wasn't trying to flaunt our relationship—I just couldn't help gravitating toward Aiden whenever I saw him.The six o'clock sun cast everything in a gentle, warm glow. Its soft orange rays seemed to carve out a private space just for us among the crowd. I caught several people staring, their attention diverted from the professional racers they'd come to see.Aiden and I appa

Aria's POVI felt a rush of satisfaction after sending that text to Sophia. Looking at my phone with a smirk, I thought how criminal it would be not to share this moment of triumph with Lillian.Without hesitation, I took a screenshot and sent it to her."Lil, check out what I just sent to Sophia!" I typed, attaching the image.Lillian must have just gotten back to her hotel room when my message came through. I could practically hear her cackling through her reply."HAHAHAHA! Has she responded yet? This must be absolutely killing her! I bet Sophia's going to be depressed all day! HAHAHA!"She followed up immediately: "Aria, when did you get so clever? That comeback was perfect!"I grinned, typing back: "I was just scrolling through Twitter when I remembered her text. Figured I should reply – I'm a polite person after all, and ignoring messages is rude, right?"I was still basking in the knowledge that Sophia was probably

Aria's POVI'd barely had time to process how many people were fawning over our relationship online when I noticed Aiden emerge from the bathroom, his hair still damp from the shower."The bath should be ready in about five minutes," he announced, voice deep and smooth.I nodded, trying to act casual. "Thanks."My thoughts drifted to his social media post—the one that had sent the internet into a frenzy.I wanted to ask him about it, but couldn't quite find the courage. Instead, I chewed my lower lip and said, "I've been scrolling through social media. It's pretty wild out there tonight."Aiden gave me a knowing look, his blue eyes twinkling. "Is that so? What's happening?""You know, just stuff about today's competition," I deflected."Let me see," he said, reaching for his phone.My cheeks warmed. "I'm going to grab my clothes for the bath!" I announced, practically jumping to my feet.Aiden shot me an amu
