Chapter 109

‘Why is everyone putting me in this situation? It's been like this since yesterday. Since Carlisle's birthday, to be exact.’
I blinked absentmindedly.
‘Um, well, to answer your question, Aiden…’
"No. I mean, you can’t."
Aiden's eyes widened and he stopped in his tracks.
‘Don't give me that look. You're not some poor, lost puppy. I feel like I'm the one who did something wrong...’
I took a deep breath and slowly spoke again.
"Listen, Aiden. We're both adults."
"Yes."
"And when you asked, ‘Can I hold your hand?’ It seemed like you were talking about... you know, something couples usually do."
"Did you just mimic my voice?"
"Never mind that. The point is, if that's what you meant, I'm not interested."
‘I don't want to get caught up in the reverse harem scenario I accidentally created. Although I think I might have half-failed already...’
Suddenly, memories from yesterday flooded back, causing me to involuntarily shake my head.
