"Aiden…!!" Aurora just blurted out his name, making Aiden's heart beat fast.
The way she said his name made him just look at her as he remembered someone in his life. As if he found a lost connection!
He looked into her eyes, and realised that Aurora had the same Hazel color eyes like that of the same girl he knew…!
From his past!
He prayed in his heart that she shouldn't be the one, of whom he was thinking about! But, he was feeling something in his heart which he didn't feel like ever, but today! He felt like heart beating faster after so long, seeing a woman that stood in front of him.
A known feeling, but unknown anyhow!
"Umm... I'm sorry, Mr. Kelly! I never thought that you would come to this party as you are not the person who attends any functions or parties more often."
Aurora managed to start a conversation and Aiden took a deep breath as he heard her soft voice that was so similar to the girl he knew too but he was not sure if she was the same girl he knew or not!
"No worries, Ms. Brown... I actually came here to congratulate you." Aiden smirked as he forwarded his hand towards her.
Aurora kept looking at him and then to his hand.
She gulped down nervously and forwarded her hand and they both shook their hands.
"Thank you!" Aurora replied with a brief smile.
Savannah smiled seeing them looking into each other's eyes as they both shook their hands.
Aurora recognised the guy who was in front of her. She never wanted to see him again in her lifetime but she had never thought that she had to see him here like this…! In front of her daughter?
She wanted to disappear right there from then…! But it would only make him suspect her more. She tried to take a deep breath as she prayed that Aiden should not recognise her. If he did, the consequences would not be good for Aurora to face. He would only hate her more and she could not escape from him again as she did a long time ago…!
Savannah had never seen her mother staring at a guy like this ever before…! She felt that, 'Maybe this is the one who can tame my mommy.'
Savannah felt happy seeing the guy not taking his eyes off her mother and just kept staring into her eyes.
"Mommy..." Savannah called, making Aurora and Aiden break their eye contact.
Aurora looked at Savannah and raised her eyebrows at her.
"Yes, Love?" Aurora asked but Savannah didn't care about her mother's question and stepped towards Aiden, making him smile.
"Hello, I'm Savannah Brown. Daughter of Aurora Brown. Nice to meet you." Savannah said as she forwarded her little hands towards Aiden.
Aiden smiled brightly seeing the little girl who had the same attitude as her mother.
"Hello, Savannah. Nice to meet you too." Aiden replied as he forwarded his hand in a shake hand.
They both shook their hands with a bright smile on their faces.
Aiden actually didn't get bothered by the little girl who was in front of him, but the woman who was behind her. But, he knew that that child was the only weakness of the Aurora to get close to her…!
Aiden was not the guy who goes to the parties if it was not his business related parties, but he had no idea what he was doing there, when he decided in his mind not to come to that party..!
But, seeing a beautiful woman like Aurora in front of his eyes he didn't regret coming here!
His eyes got stuck on the beautiful woman on the earth and then, he so wanted to know more about that woman.
But as he saw that she had a daughter…! He didn't want to take a step forward towards her. But just then, he had heard rumours about her and her husband.
He heard people in the party talking about her husband that said that, 'He was dead even before she gave birth to her daughter.
'And few murmured like, 'Someone cheated on her and she is divorced.'
He couldn't take these rumors and just walked towards Aurora to know more about her. But, when she took his name from her mouth, his heart suddenly smiled but he didn't have any idea, why?
"Earth to Mr. Kelly…!" Savannah said as she saw him looking at her mother, Aurora, who felt uncomfortable under his gaze.
"Yes, Sweetheart?" Aiden asked as he got down on his knees to Savannah's level.
Savannah felt happy as he looked interested in her mother, but the gaze he had on her made her uncomfortable and restless.
"What do you do for a living?" Savannah asked with a little attitude, making Aurora wide her eyes at her. Aiden could clearly feel the possessiveness in Savannah's voice towards Aurora.
"Savannah…! You can't ask something like that rudely, without even knowing the person. That's really a bad manner." Aurora scolded Savannah and rolled her eyes at her. That made Aiden blink his eyes, seeing how much attitude that little girl had in her…! That attitude made him remind of someone that he could never forget in his life.
"I'm really sorry for her behaviour." Aurora said as she grabbed Savannah's hand.
"No..! It's totally fine... She is a kid..." Aiden said, scratching his head!
"No. It's not fine. I don't want my daughter to be rude to anyone... And mainly Judge a person without knowing anything about them or their side of the story!" Aurora replied in a cold voice with a deep meaning, making Aiden take aback.
"Hope you enjoy your night, Mr. Kelly... I will take my leave. Thank you, for coming to the party." Aurora spoke out in a stern voice too.
Aurora didn't wait for anymore minutes and turned back, walking away from him, taking her daughter with her, even before Aiden could say anything.
For the first time in his life he had no words to reply or make a comeback to any of her words. He was speechless…!
