Chapter 429 - Curious Noah (2/2)

”No.”

”Pretty please.” He begged and Aria rolled her eyes at his attempts.

”No amount of begging will help you. I am not going to answer you. Wait for two days.”

”But I can't. My mind is on overdrive thinking what might you be planning.”

”Patience, my dear. Patience.” Noah tapped Noah's c_h_e_s_t and smiled at him sweetly.

”Patience is one thing that I don't have right now.” He mumbled loud enough for Aria to hear and she giggled at his cute self.

”Let me tell you one thing then.” Aria decided to go easy on him and not torture him more.

”What thing?” Noah's excitement rose at once and he looked at her as though he was waiting for his Christmas gift.

”You will love the surprise for sure. Be ready to get your mind blown away.”

His mysterious words only added more to Noah's curiosity and now, he could not wait any longer to find out what Aria had in mind. ”Are you going to offer yourself to me, my dear?” He asked with a smirk only to find Aria blush at his crude words.

”Noah,” She punched him lightly and buried her head in his c_h_e_s_t, embarrassment flooding through her entire self. ”How can you be this shameless?”

Her reaction more or less answered Noah's question and his heart was already dancing in ecstasy. ”I was right then.”

”What? No.” Aria pulled back at once hearing him tease her. ”No.”

”Don't worry, Aria.” Noah pushed back her hair and held her face in his hands. ”I don't mind the surprise you have prepared for me. I would to have you as my gift and my surprise.” He winked at her and Aria gritted her teeth in anger.

”If you continue with your acts, I am going to cancel the surprise I have in mind.” Aria threatened and it worked.

”You can't do this to me.”

”Oh, I can. Try me.”

Noah looked at her for a long and when he did not sense any hesitation from her, he was certain that she would stick to her words if he crossed his lines. So, he could only give up and control his curiosity, allowing her to do as she pleased. Right at this moment, Noah's phone buzzed and he attended to it, his hand not leaving Aria's waist. And Aria too did not try to wriggle away from him, even though she so badly wanted to send a message to Maggie.

'It's good that Maggie finally decided to leave the gang. I was so worried about her.' Aria thought to herself, remembering the day her friend had told her and Ivy her decision to join Jared's gang to find out more about his crimes. At first, the twins had tried to stop her using all means. But the girl had been adamant as ever and they gave in eventually, when Maggie promised to stay safe and return home in one piece.

Since the time she had joined the Vipers, Aria and Ivy were scared for her safety. The girl had put herself in danger without caring anything about herself. She was all alone in a wolf's den and given Jared's reputation and his long list of crimes, it was a given they feared for her safety. All they wanted was for her to leave the place as soon as possible. It was nothing but a hell hole and to think that Maggie spent so much time in that dangerous place with dangerous people around her made them shiver in fear.

Now that Maggie had decided to leave, Aria could relax and get one problem out of her mind. At least, her friend would be safe. But her escape would bring a lot more trouble for Jared would find out about Maggie's truth. They have to keep Maggie safe and Aria just knew what to do. She took a glance at the man beside her, who was still on the phone, and hoped he would help her in this matter.

Meanwhile, her friend in question was ready to leave the hell hole that had come to be her home for quite some time. She had brought nothing with her when she had joined the gang and she decided to leave with empty hands. She wanted nothing that belonged to Jared. Maggie took one last glance at the room before she opened the door, only to come face to face with the man she was escape from badly.
