Their Bundle Of Joy

Chapter 42 Butterflies in the stomach

Aiden lowered his head and looked at the wristwatch. Stanley’s testing results will be out soon.

He smiled calmly, “Dig in.”

His voice was neither high nor low, fast nor slow. The few of them looked at each other and no one

knew what Aiden was thinking.

Was he interested in Isabel or not?

Elliot snapped his fingers and the waiters served the dishes.

It was a club owned by the Patel family and he was in charge of the club. The dishes were served

swiftly. In just a while, five to six dishes were served.

Elliot attentively served a piece of fish for Isabel and placed it on a small plate in front of her. “Isabel,

have some.”

Aiden didn’t say a word and used his chopsticks to gently nudge the plate towards Lara who was

seated beside Isabel, “Elliot, you placed it on the wrong plate.”

The unspoken meaning was, he should look after Lara and not Isabel.

Lara realized that Elliot was very concerned about Aiden and looked in his direction several times.

The chilly feeling came over her, she didn’t like the cold attitude of Aiden. She preferred someone like

Elliot who was warm and affectionate.

She didn’t want Elliot to look bad and Lara ate the piece of fish.

Elliot didn’t expect that his goodwill would be mistaken and only could look towards Isabel for her

understanding.

Isabel looked at the new plate in front of her and in it was a sweet and sour pork rib. She likes this kind

of sweet and sour taste. She picked it up and ate it. It tasted good.

That’s why her eyes looked towards the plate of ribs.

But Aiden placed a piece of fish in her plate, “Don’t be picky.”

Isabel felt that this word was familiar. When she was eating the fish, she finally remembered that was

the way she taught Daniel and now it was Aiden who was teaching her.

Her face was slightly red and she wasn’t used to such occasions. It was Samuel and Isaac who were

talking and laughing, livening up the atmosphere.

When she saw Elliot’s numerous looks for help, Isabel ate another piece of delicious pork rib and then

said to Aiden, “Aiden, last night’s issue, Elliot was only joking with me. He had already apologized to

me today. Why don’t you…”

Aiden heard her soft and gentle voice and his mood was starting to warm up. But he didn’t reply, as if

he didn’t hear it at all.

Elliot sighed softly, he was almost driven mad by Aiden.

If given another chance, he swore that he will never touch Aiden’s woman.

The consequences were too severe.

“Aiden, forgive him.” After hearing the soft sigh, Isabel couldn’t stand it and pushed Aiden.

But she was nervous as she was afraid that Aiden won’t agree.

She had to try even if she was afraid, after all, she had accepted Elliot’s request.

Her “Aiden”, apart from Aiden, the other three men’s bodies were covered by goose pimples.

They looked decently at Aiden only to see him nonchalantly picking up a piece of chicken and eating it

before saying, “This isn’t difficult, the plot of land south of the city, take it as my gift to Elliot and Lara as

their engagement gift.”

Want to be calculative with him and Isabel, he will reciprocate properly with Elliot.

To teach Elliot what is meant by eating his own bitter fruit.

“Clunk”, Elliot’s chopsticks fell onto the table, and the sauce splashed onto his clothes. “Aiden, you

must be joking.”

“From last night till now, which part do you think I’m joking with you?” Aiden picked up another piece of

pork rib and placed it on Isabel’s plate because she liked it. He already forgot the words “don’t be

picky” and served them to Isabel several times.

He observed that if he didn’t place any food on Isabel’s plate, she would hardly eat. It appeared that

she was really not used to such occasions.

Elliot picked up the toppled wine glass. He poured a glass full of XO and asked, “If I engage, you’ll

return it to me?”

“Yes.” Aiden raised his wine glass and drank immediately.

Isabel looked at the expression of the two men drinking and they seemed to enjoy the alcohol. So

curiously, she picked up the wine glass and took a sip. Her face frowned in agony.

It tasted awful.

“Miss White, this was the XO Elliot kept for several years.” Isaac looked at Isabel’s expression and

laughed.

Alcohol was an acquired taste. It’s either you loved it or hated it.

When she heard that it was “XO”, her face blushed redder a notch, “I… I can’t drink.”

“Then you must drink more. Then you will start to enjoy it. Come, let me toast to you.” Samuel wanted

to see Aiden getting anxious. He formally lifted up his glass to toast Isabel.

Isabel was trying to be polite and with him being so respectful, Isabel politely lifted up her glass.

Just as she lifted up her glass, a large hand grabbed over her wine glass, “If you can’t drink, don’t.”

Then in front of everyone, Aiden drank the entire contents of her wine glass.

Isabel blushed even redder, she felt like she was kissed by him through drinking the XO.

That place, her lips and Aiden’s lips had both been there.

She lowered her head and her heart raced. When she thought about how they treated her like Aiden’s

girl and he didn’t object, she was very shy.

He even drank so much for her.

Furthermore, he was willing to speed and get a ticket just to save her.

Yes, it looked like he took care of her the entire night.

Five years ago he saw her naked.

If he doesn’t mind that Daniel was Adam’s son, then they will…

Isabel was deep in her thoughts and continued to blush and fantasized about their future together.

She liked him all these years and if she could be married to him and be his woman, then her entire life All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

would be perfect and contented.

Elliot drank two glasses in succession and then turned and looked at Lara. Though she looked slightly

plain, after wearing his choice of clothes and as long as she kept quiet, she looked like a princess. He

clenched his teeth, “Okay, I’ll have them announce my engagement, Aiden, just remember your

promise.”

Lara looked at him with her eyes wide open, wondering if she had heard wrongly. “Elliot, you… you

want us to be engaged?”

Did she strike a lottery today?

This was too fortunate.

She bit her lips and bit them again. They were painful and she wasn’t dreaming.

“If you don’t want to, I can renege.” Elliot was upset. He spent so much effort for Isabel to test out

Aiden and in the end, he played himself.

Lara nodded her head in agreement. Even if it was just engagement and not marriage and even if one

day he cancels the marriage, she would already be contented.

As Elliot called to announce his decision, Aiden’s phone rang.

The caller was Stanley.
