Chapter 452 - The end of Cox family (1) (1/2)
~ Reno, White family villa ~
Sarah and Aiden are packed ready to leave for Las Vegas.
Elanor and Oscar wished them a safe trip, and then headed to have breakfast, leaving youngsters to say their goodbyes.
Aiden was in the back of a black Lincoln, browsing on his phone while waiting for JoAnna and Sarah to finish with their goodbyes.
”Have a safe trip, let me know when you reach, and when you check in to your hotel. Take care of yourself, and don't get into trouble...” JoAnna listed few more things while hugging Sarah, and added with a whisper, ”…and don't get married.”
Sarah frowned and whispered back, ”What's with you? Why are you mentioning that, again?” Sarah remembers that previous day JoAnna also mentioned marriage when they were sitting next to the swimming pool after lunch.
JoAnna straightened her back and spoke in an official tone. ”I'm just saying… don't do it without me. I'm entitled to be there, as a sister. Don't deny me that pleasure… otherwise I will never forgive you.”
Sarah saw that JoAnna didn't finish talking, and panicked thinking that her sister will say something crazy aloud for Aiden to hear. She knows that JoAnna enjoys teasing her, and she has no filter. She pulled JoAnna to the side and whispered with urgency. ”Fine, fine… can you, please, stop talking nonsense? There is no way we are going to get married now. OK?”
”If there is no way, why are you freaking out?” JoAnna was enjoying seeing Sarah all flustered.
Sarah was shocked hearing JoAnna's words. 'What do you mean why? Because you are talking about marriage! That is a big deal!' She can tell that JoAnna is teasing her, but still she can't let Aiden hear this kind of crazy talk. Sarah puffed her cheeks few times while thinking how to answer and decided to say what's on her mind. ”I don't want him to misunderstand.” Sarah gestured with her eyes toward Aiden.
”What is there to misunderstand? Do you think he will marry you just because I mentioned it?” JoAnna revealed a huge smile while tilting her head slightly and observing Sarah.
”What's with the delay? We will stay only few days. You can always talk later… At this rate, we will miss our flight.” Aiden reminded Sarah while peeking through the open window of the car.
Sarah grimaced at JoAnna and warned her to stop with her nonsense before getting in the back of the black Lincoln next to Aiden. Few seconds later, White family driver started the car and drove away.
As soon as the car started moving, Sarah relaxed in her seat and exhaled in relief thinking how finally she is out of JoAnna's reach to tease her. Danger of embarrassment is gone.
”You look like you have something heavy on your mind.” Aiden pulled her to sit close to him.
”I was just thinking about last night.” Sarah lied with an awkward smile.
Aiden looked at her for few seconds, confident that she is not telling the truth, but then decided to drop it and play along. ”Yes. It was eventful. It's never boring with you around.”
”Why are you pinning that on me? If it's not for your handsomeness, we would not be targeted.” She pinched his cheek lightly.
”They were going for the money, not the looks.” Aiden reminded her while rubbing his cheek.
”You can't deny how that is also part of your charms.” Sarah kissed tip of his nose and leaned into his embrace. Her mind was wondering toward the casinos. She was planning what she will do first.
Aiden was happy to see Sarah in good mood. Based on her expression, he can tell that she is in planning mode. He was wondering what part of her will he get to observe once they enter casinos. Aiden knows that a good show is coming; something new and considering that involves Sarah, it will be beautiful. Aiden hopes that he will not be in the way, and that maybe he can even help Sarah in whatever plan she has.
