Alicia turned to glance at Aaron, who smiled and indicated she accept it.
Unable to turn down the thoughtful offer, Alicia could only look at Celeste and say, “Thank you, Mother!”
“When Aaron gets busy at work in the future, you can always come to me to have a chat if you’re bored. There’s so much we can talk about, the baby’s gender, the name, and even what you plan to do after childbirth.”
Alicia nodded obediently.
Not long after, they left Celeste’s residence, and Aaron took Alicia home to get some rest.
Alicia wanted to take a shower before sleeping, so Aaron decided to wait in there for her, worried she would accidentally fall in the washroom. Nonetheless, he was chased out by her.
As soon as Alicia was done showering, he quickly helped her to wipe her hair and blow dry it. His gestures filled Alicia’s heart with warmth. If Aaron had not gone looking for her, she would have lost him for the rest of her life.
At that thought, she turned around and hugged Aaron.
Realizing she was being a little emotional, Aaron put down the hairdryer and ruffled her dry hair, asking gently, “What’s wrong?”
“I almost lost you, Aaron,” Alicia mumbled.
Aaron took a step back and pinched her cheeks. “Tsk… Did you only realize that now? You’re right. You would’ve lost me if I didn’t set my heart on searching for you.”
Alicia could only nod in response.
Thank goodness he came looking for me…
