Thankfully, Jace wise maneuver to salvage the situation managed to drag Aiden's soul back to reality.
"TSS. Why would I even need protection from you? I get it, you are the Queen of Darkness, okay? And you were all that powerful. I knew that. But believe me, as long as you stay as far as possible from me, I could do just fine. I can manage on my own."
Aiden retorted after he recovered from the confession that he just heard.
He did not want to appear as if he was someone who could easily fall to sweet words.
That was why he said that.
But truth be told, he did not mean to say most of those words either.
Somehow, Aiden could not help but admit to himself that he already has this certain kind of attraction towards Nathalia.
He realized that there was something inside him craving to stay next to Nathalia as often as possible.
It just felt so right whenever their eyes met each other.
On how and when it started, even he himself was unsure.
Also, at times like this, Aiden could not help but understand and relate why most of the girls always tried to play hard to get.
"Err... I beg to disagree with that. Actually... "
Nathalia said before she trailed off.
It seemed that she was hesitating between whether to say or not to say the other thing that she was about to reveal.
"Actually what??"
Aiden urged with his newfound curiosity.
He could bet his wrist that what Nathalia was about to say had everything to do with him.
That was why he badly wanted to hear about it too, just as much as you readers do.
"Actually, the truth is... Making you see ghosts also made you vulnerable to possession. Ghosts could actually take over your body. But don't worry that much about it. As long as I am here, no ghost would ever think about doing it to you."
Nathalia said in a small voice as if talking sheepishly that way would somehow calm Aiden's reaction or at least alleviate his negative reaction after hearing the news.
But of course, when Aiden heard it, he did not take it calmly.
He almost went hysterical when he learned the truth!
Aiden reacted just like any other man would normally do if they hear the same thing happening to them.
But that was at least to be expected.
Even Nathalia did not expect Aiden to accept the pros and cons of his ability that easy either.
After all, no normal man would accept such a thing with a sweet smile on their face.
But all she could wish was for her husband to eventually come into terms with all of this new lifestyle that he was about to live now that he was married to the Queen of Darkness.
"What did you say?!!! You made me vulnerable to what??!!!! What now?? Huh?!! Are you going to tell me next that you were planning to do some exorcism with me every now and then???"
Aiden could not help but scoffed at Nathalia and gave her a once over before he continued.
"And to tell me not to worry much about it. Seriously?!!! Do you honestly think that can I really trust you?! After all of this shit?!!! You are unbelievable, Nathalia! I thought you would at least be different because you are some sort of god or something. But I guess I am wrong. You were just as human as others do. Stop talking shit to me, could you?!!!"
Aiden said aloud out of sudden emotional outbursts.
Him getting emotional almost clouded his rationality that he was now starting to speak harshly.
Something that he did not usually do.
Nathalia was, of course, disheartened after hearing such hurtful remarks from her fated husband but she could understand why he felt that way though.
So with an earnest attitude, she tried to speak at Aiden.
She wanted to try and made the other party realized by himself that her gift to him was not exactly as bad as how he thought it was.
