Too Late Mr. White! I'm Married To Your Rival Now novel Chapter 233

Aria's POV

The 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 engine, sending us flying across the water again, waves rippling outward from our path.

"Aiden!" I called out against the wind.

"Yes?"

"I love you so much!"

With no spectators around, my courage soared.

Not satisfied with just once, I repeated myself louder: "I love you so much, Aiden! So, so much!"

My voice carried through the sea breeze, sweet and clear like an ice pop melting away summer heat.

I felt his arms tighten around my waist. He raised his voice to be heard over the wind: "What a coincidence. I happen to love my wife very much too."

My heart pounded wildly as I took us around in several loops before finally steering back to shore.

When Aiden emerged from changing out of his wetsuit, he noticed I wasn't right behind him.

He walked to one side, gazing out at the vast ocean.

I caught him smiling to himself, probably thinking about my windswept confession. By the time he spotted me, I was already running back from the rental shack.

Aiden raised an eyebrow and walked toward me. "Where did you run off to?"

My face was flushed from the heat as I proudly held up my phone. "I went to get your gift."

"What gift?"

Suddenly feeling shy, I mumbled, "I'll send it to you."

Aiden arched his eyebrow slightly as I tapped on my phone. Moments later, he received the video I'd sent.

It was about a minute long, footage from the drone that had captured us on the jet ski. I stood beside him, watching as he viewed it, feeling my ears grow hot.

"So where's the gift?" he asked when it ended.
