Arwen’s brows furrowed as she kept her gaze at Gianna, waiting for her to speak up whatever she had in her mind. But when she saw her raising her brows at her, she knew she wasn’t going to speak until she heard her ask.
Hence, she probed, "Who is it, Anna?"
"My uncle, of course," Gianna answered the very next moment, making Arwen blink in confusion.
"Your uncle? You mean Aiden?" she repeated, only to see her nodding her head profusely.
"Yes, that’s him," Gianna confirmed before adding. "I know this will make only sense in some broken, twisted theory, but he perfectly fits in that description. He is fearless and would never hesitate or back down in front of anyone. Ryan simply doesn’t even stand in his league, So, isn’t he very suitable to be that mysterious man?"
"He is a Devil and doesn’t hold any biases for any gender. As long the person dared to cross him, or the one he cared about, he would wreak havoc of hell in their life, without any care, without any mercy." She completed. Although her words made Aiden look evil, there was no hint of disapproval in her tone. Instead, her tone made him sound like a ruthless hero, the most charismatic one in the world.
She must really be charmed by her uncle to praise his villainous qualities like this.
Arwen shook her head before reaching her hand out to knock on Gianna’s forehead. "What rubbish you are even thinking, Anna. He can’t be that mysterious man. He has no reason to be." Although she doesn’t know if Aiden was truly as Gianna has described him or not, she sure knows that he was not a person to do things recklessly. He would never do anything without a reason.
Gianna rubbed her temple and furrowed her brows at Arwen. "And what made you think he has no reason to do so?"
"What is there to think?" Arwen asked in the most legit tone. "Can you see a reason?"
"Of course, I do," she said. "You are his legitimate wife. What more reason does he need to avenge you."
That did sound like the most appropriate and strong reason, but …
"But when my accident happened, I wasn’t his wife, Anna," Arwen reasoned. "Remember, I only went to the Civil Affairs Bureau when I half recovered from the accident. Since we weren’t involved together when I met with an accident, he wouldn’t have any reason to act in my favour and avenge my pains."
The furrow between Gianna’s brows deepened. She considered Arwen’s words and then a disappointed sigh left her lips. "And that’s why I told you it’s a broken, twisted theory and theories as such are never the reality," she said, pressing her lips in a thin line. "Anyway, he might not have a reason in the past, I agree. But in future, he will definitely hold all the reasons. With him beside you, no one will be able to harm you."
Arwen might not be as confident as Gianna, but she did believe that with Aiden around, she wouldn’t get hurt. He wouldn’t let her get hurt.
As they were talking, the phone and Arwen’s side rang interrupting their conversation.
"Who would be calling you this late at night?" Gianna asked as her gaze darted to look at the phone that was still ringing on the side table.
Arwen shrugged. "I don’t know," she said, and then leaned to grab her phone. When she saw Aiden’s contact flashing on the screen, her lips curled up in a beautiful smile.
