Chapter 216 - Calling Old Friends In The Middle Of The Night. (2/2)

”You know… my daughter is pregnant. She is going on a trip till the new year with her friends and Valene. What shall she do and how shall she should take care of herself?” he asked.

”Oh… that's…. First thing, she should be happy. She should avoid fish, papaya. Also…” Aria went on with the list of do's and dont's. Aiden took down his notepad and noted down everything she said. By the time they were done talking it was already 2. A. M.

”Thank you for your guidance. We shall meet for dinner tomorrow,” he said with a smile.

The years of the gap they have between them were gone just like that in these two hours.

”Surely, you owe me a meal for ruining my beauty sleep,” she said with a smile.

”Ok. By the way, are you going to give a send-off to the kids?” he asked rubbing salt on her wound.

”You know what, Aiden. That brat! He didn't even tell me, that he was going on a trip. Until you told me, I didn't know about it.” she said through her gritted teeth.

”Maybe, he was afraid that you would pile things in his luggage,” he said.

”Yeah… that reminds me. We should buy some things for them as they were leaving in the afternoon,” she asked.

”We shall. But you know, I am clueless. I asked my butler to buy some warm clothes for Eleanor in the early morning. I wonder if he can do a good job or not,” he said with a sigh.

”Don't worry! I will help you! I will also select a few anti-radiation clothes for Eleanor that way the baby in her stomach wouldn't expose to the radiation,” Aria said.

”Oh! That kind of clothes is there too. It's a good thing that I called you,” he said in a relieved tone.

”You know it, right. I am an encyclopedia. I have all kinds of information.” she said as she boasted herself.

He laughed out loud at her words. ”You haven't changed,” he said still laughing.

”Remember, you boasted like this back then, when you …..” he said memory from their college time.

Then they both talked about their olden days and laughed at their foolish actions. The time passed by without their noticing.

”Oh my, it's 4 a.m. You should get some sleep. We shall meet at 9. a.m and then do shopping for two hours,” he said.

”What!? Two hours!? No way!? It isn't enough. It takes at least four hours. We shall go to the shopping mall at 7. a.m. I will ask the branch near us to open it for us,” she said.

”Aria! You still haven't changed your ways,” he said as he almost yelled.

”Oh… my. Good night. I am so sleepy,” she said as she hung the call without waiting for his reply. Aria hung the call because she knew he would convince her somehow not to shop for a long time.. She would rather sacrifice her beauty sleep than cut her shopping time.
