Too Late Mr. White! I'm Married To Your Rival Now novel Chapter 205

Aria's POV

Julian, noticing the caller ID, smoothly excused himself with his drink. The moment he turned away, the smile vanished from his eyes, replaced by a subtle, unreadable expression.

I gestured to Summer with my phone, indicating I needed to take the call.

Summer nodded. "I'll go grab your lunch for you!"

It was a demanding day – we had to shoot a promotional video right after lunch, or we wouldn't finish everything today. So, lunch had to be quick and easy.

While Summer went to get our food, I walked down the corridor, stood by the window, and then finally answered the call.

"Hello?"

"Are you done filming?" Aidan's deep voice rumbled.

I tapped my fingertips lightly against the windowpane. "Not yet. We still have a short promotional video to shoot this afternoon." I went on, "This perfume campaign actually has two spokespeople."

Aidan always got straight to the point. He immediately asked, "Who's the other one?"

"Julian."

"What time do you finish this afternoon?"

"I'm not sure," I admitted, having never shot a promotional video before. I was worried I might slow things down.

"I'll come pick you up."

I frowned slightly. "Wouldn't that be a little... awkward?"

Aidan's hearty laugh boomed through the phone. "What's awkward about that?"

My heart fluttered at the sound. "Okay, I'll call you when I'm done."

"I'll head over as soon as my meeting is finished." He paused, and I heard his chuckle again. "

I'm afraid someone might try to steal my wife away."

I couldn't help but laugh. "That's ridiculous! I'm not a child!"

"Alright, fine, it's actually because I miss you." His voice was low and magnetic.

I admit, I was utterly captivated. My pulse quickened. It was hard to explain the feeling. Just a few simple words. It thrilled me more than any physical intimacy. My husband missed me, even when I wasn't with him. But did he truly love me? I couldn't be sure.

While I was lost in thought and hesitation, Aidan said, "Go have lunch, Mrs. Carter."

Summer had already returned with our food. "Alright, I should go eat now," I said.

"Then hang up the phone."

I pressed my lips together, reluctant to end the call, but finally tapped the screen, then turned and walked back.

Summer immediately gave me a knowing glance. "Was that Mr. Carter on the phone?"
