Meilin blinked her eyes as she looked at Aiden, She couldn't believe what he had just said. "Why?"
"To protect you."
Meilin found herself at a loss for words. She was perfectly capable of handling things on her own; she wasn't a weakling.
"I know what you're about to say. I'd have trusted your skills too, but look at yourself. You've gotten rusty," he remarked.
Meilin shot him a glare. 'Rusty? Who does he think he's calling rusty?'
"Listen, Aiden, I might have underestimated them. That's all. Next time..." Meilin started, but Aiden interrupted her.
"Next time? So, you're planning to go back there?" Aiden questioned, running his hands through his hair. "Scarlet, seriously you always manage to make me worry."
