"Yes lan, I want her beside me, I don't want her to leave me, I don't want to leave her either... I feel lonely without her... I don't know why but my heart beats faster whenever she is so close to me, my heart palpitates whenever I hear she is hurt or whenever she isn't with me, I don't like her fighting with me and I am done fighting with her also, I want to be the loving... caring man she could ever want, I don't want her in any other man's arm, Lan I do not know what's happening to me, this is the first time I am feeling all these things" He explained, he couldn't even believe that he could pour out all his hearts to his brother.
"You don't know what's happening to you? are you sick Aaron? you really don't know!" Lan yelled over the phone frustratingly, why was his brother acting so immature when it comes to things like this.
"I don't know lan, I should probably visit the doctor tom-"
"You aren't visiting any fucking doctor, just answer my questions, do you miss her Everytime she isn't around you?" Lan asked him.
Aaron thought of the time he was in country C, he had just left home and he was missing her like hell, he just wished to see her beside him and that was why he did a video call that time. "Yes" He answered.
"Do you fear that something would happen to her whenever she is in danger?"
Aaron tried to remember the time he learnt that xue lin was kidnapped, he had felt his heart drumming in his ears, he wasn't able to think properly during that time, all he wanted was to make sure she was back in his arms, safe and unscathed.He had flew back to country A just to save her, he even shot two men all because of her, everything he did was for a reason and that reason he wasn't sure of,
"Yes" He hastily replied.
"Did you find yourself staring at her for a longer time than usual and then smiling at yourself" He asked.
Aaron remembered this night when they made love in the car, he remembered how he had traces her eyebrows, eyelashes, her soft lips with his slender finger and how he had smiled at himself, his lips even twisted to a smile after remembering what happened this night "Yes"
"Wait are you smiling now?" Lan asked amused as if trying to figure out the face of the smiling Aaron, it has been long since he saw him smile or even laugh.
"Yeah why? how does it even relate to the question you are asking me?" Aaron asked annoyed.
"Then that explains it, you don't like her Aaron" He said and Aaron felt his eyebrows furrowing into a hard knot, he felt angry and he wanted to hang up the phone but he hesitated as if trying to hear the reason why his brother had assumed that.
"It's love you fool! You are in love with her, you just don't realize it" He said over the phone.
"W-What I... I'm in love with her? Are you sure lan? Aaron asked but then he didn't receive any response as his brother had already hang up the phone to attend to his wife.
"Love?" Aaron asked himself repeatedly, he didn't even realize that he had walked out of his room and was already walking down the stairs case. He was now walking towards xue Lin who curled into the chair, sleeping peacefully. Seeing her sleeping peacefully like she didn't care about anything made him feel at ease, his heart started fluttering in his chest. He knelt down on his knees as he caressed her cheeks with his fingers, he did it so slowly and gently as if afraid to scratch her or hurt her, his face was slowly moving close to hers as his gaze fixated on her pink lips, he inched closer. He felt his tongue itching to have a taste of that lips, he felt his body feeling hot, he felt as if he was on fire by merely staring at her.
His face didn't stop moving closer to her and when he was about to kiss her, her eyes fluttered open like butterfly wings revealing that brown eyes.
His eyes widened at her as if he had been caught stealing something, Xue lin creased her forehead on realizing this strange position of his, when did Aaron start doing this?, he was even on his knees?. What if the media caught a glimpse of this, it would be a disaster that the billionaire was on In knees in front of his wife but then he was no ordinary man, he was her husband...
"W-What are you doing? shouldn't you be asleep?" Xue lin asked staring straight into his eyes, he adverted his gaze shyly and rubbed his nape.
'Whats this? what happened to Aaron?" Xue lin was freaking out in her mind, did the butler by chance give him a potion, but what kind of potion would it be? Love potion because he was acting as if he was in love with her.
"Y-Yes I was going to sleep so I decided to carry you with me into our bedroom" He replied innocently.
Our bedroom? Xue lin thought, she felt strangely happy to hear it coming from his mouth, it made butterfly swim in her stomach.
Not receiving a response from her except her scrutinizing gaze he decided to ask why she was mad at him before, "By the way, did I do anything wrong that made you ignore me?" Aaron asked as he leaned closer to her and made a puppy face at her.
"Oh my what's this, why is he suddenly cute now, I feel like he is seizing my breathe, Aaron you are killing me with this cuteness" Xue lin ranted in her head but kept an expressionless face outside.
"Ah! I forgot I'm mad at you, now leave me alone and get going!" She shouted at him before pushing him away from her, she felt him fall on the floor but then she suddenly felt guilty for pushing him away.
"Xue lin why do you look like you are forcing yourself to do this?" Aaron asked teasingly as he moved closer to her ignoring his hand that had bruised from the impact of the push.
"I'm not, better leave now, I want to have some sleep" She said as she sat on the chair and covered herself again, she closed her eyes pretending to be asleep.
