Chapter 36: Untitled

After spending a wonderful day they all parted their ways for today. Zack was also from the same college in the art class and he had a good chat with Elizabeth.

All of them exchanged their WeChat and got home.

~~Smith Mansion~~

When Elizabeth got home Harris was sitting on the sofa along with Aldrin.

Aldrin and Harris were talking about something before as they notice Elizabeth coming both of them gaze in her direction.

"Hello dad I am back," Elizabeth ignores Aldrin.

"Princess, did you enjoy your day?" Harris asked happily.

"Yes dad I have made a new friend today," she shares with her dad merrily.

"Oh..!"

"Dad I will be heading back to the room now, I have already eaten and a bit tired now." as she moves towards her room Aldrin stops her.

Aldrin had a smirk on his face. 'Dare to ignore his presence no one has guts till now to do this but sure enough, the Kitten[1] is different.

"What..?" Elizabeth asked she did not want to speak to him for now. She knows he is a benefactor but even so distance should be maintained she had once fallen in a false trap not again.

"I want to talk to you.!" Aldrin was gentle with his words but it sounded command more than asking.

"But I don't want to, leave my way please," Elizabeth said with a smile. She didn't want to put any bad impression in front of her dad.

"Uncle Elizabeth and I will head to her room," without giving Elizabeth any chance to refuse Aldrin takes Elizabeth with him to her room.

Elizabeth tries to break free from his grip but it was not possible.

Harris sighed looking at the children. But he had promised to give a chance so he will but if her princess does not agree to be with him he had to find a suitable candidate himself.

Elizabeth knows that Aldrin loves her but is it a moment of passion she doesn't know. A man who doesn't make his relationship clear is not reliable.

She was uncomfortable, with the people gossip before about the princess. She had heard about her in back too.

The more she thought of past life events the more she feels sad.

In her previous life, Elizabeth was a naive girl falling in love without any sense. She once believed Kevin wholeheartedly not giving room for suspicion but she will be clever now.

They reached home soon. Noticing Elizabeth in a daze Aldrin pulls her close inside the room.

With a sudden jerk, Elizabeth comes back to her senses. She was trapped between him and the wall.

"W... what are you doing?" she stumbled with her words she was too close to Aldrin the masculine aura surrounds her.

In her previous life, Kevin always keep a safe distance from her and she had never been so close to a man before so she doesn't know what to do. Her face turned red.

"hehe," a low chuckle escapes the man's mouth looking at her blushing face.

He then left her and sit in the bed.

"What did you think about my proposal? Don't you have forgotten the promise," he asked directly.

As soon as he left the reasoning came back.

'No, she will not surrender to him. He thinks his charm is enough to smitten her. haha, Let's see whose charm is more dangerous.'

She playfully takes her hair behind the ear. Like taking revenge she spoke.

"Aldrin what do you think you are one of a kind. heh! Tsk snap out of your dream. I had made many good male friends these past years. They are optimistic and kind-hearted. They tell me a joke and fulfill my all wishes, it seems you are late."

Aldrin knew that Elizabeth said this on purpose to stimulate him, but he must admit that her words were true and angered him.

His face was gloomy and dark.

The lack of presence in all these years has been one of his biggest weaknesses. But he was away to make him more powerful to protect her.

'No, I will not allow any other man to occupy her heart nor even mind.'

Elizabeth's phone rang at this time. Looking at the caller id she frowned. 'Whatever she picked it up.'

"Hello" the male voice sounded from the phone. Aldrin's ears were pricked. Being alone in the room the voice coming from the phone was clear to him.

"What's up?" she sounded unconcerned of the hot gaze on her.

"Elizabeth are you free tomorrow?" Kevin sounded hopeful.

Elizabeth was going to decline at first but looking at the man sitting in bed, she changed her mind.

"Yep"

"Can we meet tomorrow? We haven't seen each other for a long time." his voice sounded like the yearning and full of love.

If Elizabeth hasn't encountered her previous life event she must have believed him. But now she is clear he held a motive towards her.

"Um... Okay, send me the address and time." With that, she hung up the phone.

Kevin frowned when he was hung up on the face. Previously it was always been him who hung up the phone but what happened today? 'Never mind, tomorrow he is going to take a step closer towards his aim. He was happy.'

"You are going to meet someone tomorrow?" Aldrin asked questioningly.

"Yes"

"Man or Woman"

"None of your business....!" Elizabeth exclaimed indifferently.
