Too Late, Mr. White! I'm Married To Your Rival Now のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 331 - チャプター 337

Aria's POVBefore I could even respond to Owen's invitation, Aiden's arm snaked around my waist, pulling me closer to his side. The sudden possessive gesture sent warmth flooding through my body."I'm afraid my wife's schedule is completely booked for the next few months," he announced, his tone polite but leaving no room for argument. Then, with deliberate slowness, he reached for my hand, his thumb brushing over my wedding ring. The light caught the diamond perfectly—exactly as he intended. "Between her practice sessions and upcoming commitments, there simply isn't time."Owen's gaze dropped to our matching rings, lingering there for a moment too long before looking back at me. "Is that true, Aria? No room at all for a charitable performance?"I hesitated, torn between the unexpected opportunity and Aiden's obvious disapproval. "I... well...""Miss Summer has her booked solid," Aiden added smoothly. "Isn't that right, darling?"Owen studied my face carefully, clearly searching for a

Aria's POVI arrived at the stables with Aiden a little before three. There's something special about being on horseback - a kind of freedom that's hard to find anywhere else. Snow moved beneath me with graceful steps while Aiden rode Chaser beside us, both horses' coats gleaming under the afternoon sun."These horses are absolutely stunning!" a little boy shouted from nearby, pointing at our pair. I couldn't help but smile at his enthusiasm.It wasn't just the kid either. Pretty much everyone at the riding center kept stealing glances our way. Snow and Chaser weren't just well-groomed; they were magnificent.I ran my fingers through Snow's silky mane, feeling oddly proud. There's something about a perfectly cared-for horse that's like a person dressed in their finest - they simply stand out.After Aiden and I finished a slow lap around the grounds, Lillian and Ryan showed up. They were riding horses randomly selected from the stable's rental options, and the contrast was even more ap

Aria's POVThe bathroom filled with steam as Aiden pulled me onto the marble counter, his lips never leaving mine. My body burned with need, my legs instinctively wrapping around his waist to pull him closer. But as I shifted position, a sharp twinge shot through my inner thighs, making me wince."Ouch," I gasped, breaking our kiss.Aiden immediately pulled back, concern darkening his eyes. "What's wrong?""My thighs," I admitted, feeling slightly embarrassed. "I guess I'm not as experienced with horseback riding as I thought." I tried to adjust my position but winced again. "They're really sore."Instead of looking disappointed, Aiden's expression softened. He gently traced his fingers along the inside of my thigh, making me shiver despite the discomfort."Poor baby," he murmured, pressing a gentle kiss to my forehead. "I should have realized."I pouted, frustrated that my body was betraying me at this moment of all times. "I'll be fine. We can still—"Aiden silenced me with another

Aria's POVAfter finishing my piano practice and stepping out, I finally noticed my phone—vibrating nonstop, so hard it made my palms tingle.I picked it up, and the screen was flooded with unread messages, dozens of missed calls piling up.My finger hovered over the WeChat icon, a terrible feeling gnawing at my chest, twisting like vines around my heart, tightening by the second.That feeling crashed into reality the moment I opened Summer's message, cold enough to numb my fingertips.Footsteps sounded behind me, carrying the warm, fresh scent of someone just out of the shower.It was Aiden. He'd just stepped out of the bathroom, his hair still damp, a faint smile playing on his lips. He walked over, leaned down, and pulled me into his arms. His voice was low, laced with a lazy rasp—usually so reassuring, but I went rigid all over.He must have sensed it. His smile faded instantly, his fingers brushing gently over my shoulder as he asked, "What's wrong?"I opened my mouth, my voice t
