Chapter 475 - Revelation - Part 1 (1/2)
”Noah, let's take a trip on the hot air balloon.” Aria was beyond elated, and Noah could not help but chuckle seeing her state. Though he was surprised at what she had prepared for him as it was completely not what he had expected, he willing to accept it. Moreover, this was his first time on the hot air balloon, and being with Aria only added more to the experience. Why would he say no to it?
”Sure, darling.” He agreed, and Aria cheered up, joyous that the man liked her present, or at least that was what she felt on seeing Noah's astonished face.
An instructor was waiting for them, and as soon as he saw the couple walk towards the balloon, he greeted them with a warm smile.
”Hello, Dr. West. How are you?”
”I am good, Mr. Scott. How is Mrs. Scott doing?” Aria queried with equal vigor.
”She is doing great. Thank you doctor for saving her life.”
”Not at all, Mr. Scott. Her condition was not critical. So, you do not have to worry about it.” Aria brushed it off and looked at Noah, who was listening to their conversation with a small smile on his face.
”Yes, Mr. Scott. This is my boyfriend, Noah Carter and Noah this is Mr. Andrew Scott.” She introduced the men to each other, and Mr. Scott's reaction was a sight to behold. He knew who Noah was and what he did. However, he had never expected the man to be Aria's boyfriend. The moment the couple had entered, he had found the young man beside her familiar. But it only hit him after Aria introduced them.
”Hello, Mr. Scott.” Noah held out his hand, and the man shook his hand with glee. It was not every day that he got to meet Noah, the man who was well known in the business world and it was not every day that he got to shake his hand.
Aria stifled a smile on seeing the man's reaction. ”Mr. Scott, is everything ready?”
”Yes, Dr. West. I have checked the balloon, and it is perfectly fine. Let me explain the controls for you.” The three people entered the balloon, and the man explained to the couple how to operate the balloon. Once he was sure that they knew everything they were supposed to know, he got out and closed the door.
”Have a great trip!” He wished them and released the rope that was tied to the stake before he waved at the couple.
Slowly, the balloon rose as Noah followed the instructor's words. He controlled the heating mechanism until they were significantly high in the air, and then he stopped, allowing the wind to maneuver the balloon.
Aria was watching him keenly, her eyes not once moving away from him, and Noah chuckled seeing her star-struck gaze. ”I must say, Aria.” He wound his arm around her shoulder and pulled her closer to him. Aria tilted her head as she waited for the man to continue. ”I was not expecting this. It surely was a great surprise.”
”Did you like it?” Aria's smile widened, and she looked at him with such passion that Noah had to use a lot of self-control to stop himself from kissing her.
