Noah pulled out his phone to call Aria. But he stopped short when he saw the message she had sent him. He had received it a few minutes after he met Ethan.
Aria: Noah, I'm returning home. I don't know if you realized what I was trying to do by accompanying you. I hope you did. I couldn't see you stressed. I was scared and worried, worried more for you. You may find my interference stressful. But I'm your girlfriend and I can't bear to see you tensed.
Noah's lips arched up and realization dawned upon him slowly.
Aria: I'm happy I was able to make you smile before you entered the hotel. I'll wait for you at home. I know you'll handle everything well.
In the end, she sent a cute wink emoji which made Noah chuckle softly.
Aria was right. He had been stressed out of his mind since he met Jared a few days ago. Her small gesture had actually eased his mind a little. He instantly sent her a message, informing her of their victory.
