Doted by Many: I became the Top-Tier Celebrity!-Chapter 527 - 522: Romantic Relationship 2

Aiden Shaw: "Mm."

Tiana Thorne smiled softly, a hint of satisfaction in her eyes: "Good thing he’s going to spend a lifetime in prison, never to come out again. He brought it upon himself! Well done, brother."

Aiden Shaw watched her intently, her smile was so sweet that his lips unknowingly twitched slightly.

Tiana happened to look at him, immersed in his cold yet deep features.

When does someone as aloof as him ever smile?

He always wore a frosty expression, especially with those indifferent eyes, as if nothing could catch his attention.

Yet, who would know that when this man smiles, two charming and elegant dimples would appear at the corners of his mouth?

His dimples were different from hers and her brother’s, highlighting on his cheeks when he smiled, not too deep, just sweet enough.

As for him, they were just at the corners, exuding charm, paired with his indifferent face, adding a touch of noble grace.

She couldn’t help but sigh: "Brother, you should smile more, maybe then you wouldn’t still be single."

Aiden Shaw squinted slightly: "Perhaps, I won’t be single for much longer."

He added the words "perhaps."

Tiana Thorne was slightly stunned, then remembered what mom said at the dining table. Playing with the wine glass, she smiled playfully: "Oh right, mom said you have someone in your heart. When do you plan to confess? I’m curious to know, what kind of beauty could catch the eye of Mr. Shaw."

"I’m confessing right now." A rare hint of warmth appeared in Aiden Shaw’s cool voice.

Tiana Thorne: "...?"

Before she could grasp the meaning of his words, Aiden Shaw spoke up again: "I’ve been thinking about what attitude I should adopt when interacting with Dr. Thorne."

This time, he called her Dr. Thorne.

Tiana Thorne swallowed, not because she didn’t believe it, but because she was so surprised. Before this, she never thought she would be the one he...had in his heart??

So, her charm as a little fox spirit hasn’t diminished?!

Ha!

That’s what she was focused on!

Tiana immediately laughed, feeling in high spirits: "So, before you even guessed I was your sister, you already had feelings for me?"

His deep voice lowered, sounding a bit sexy at the moment: "I wouldn’t call it feelings."

Tiana Thorne: "..."

Uh...?

Did she misunderstand just now?

Wasn’t she the one on brother Aiden’s mind?

Aiden Shaw looked into her eyes, his deep voice possessing an alluring charm: "I don’t know what it means to like someone. In knowing you, all the inadvertent feelings that never emerged before all came from you."

She was initially a bit restless, but now, because of his sincerity, his words brought her a sense of calm.

Slowly, she began to grasp the situation between her and Aiden Shaw.

He was confessing, and she was the one being confessed to.

Suddenly, she wanted to hear what kind of words someone like him would say in a confession.

She looked into his eyes seriously.

"I never planned to have a romance with a girl. At thirty-one, let Ms. Jarvis find a woman with all the qualities suitable to be my wife and willing to marry me. Even if she didn’t move my heart and there was no love between us, I’d treat her well as long as she was my wife in name only, spending a lifetime like that."

Tiana Thorne moved her lips, suddenly at a loss for words.

Perhaps, many successful men think like him. When they reach a certain age, marrying a wife may have nothing to do with love; as long as she’s a good woman, they can spend a lifetime together.

Truly zen-like...

To put it bluntly, like a monk permitted to eat meat.

Aiden Shaw placed his hands on the tea table, interlocking his fingers, as if discussing business, but with a slight warmth, his gaze deep.

"Now, my view on marriage has gradually changed since knowing you. I want to try being with Dr. Thorne. The feelings here are not bland, even a bit thrilling; I think we could become the best couple."

Tiana Thorne looked into his eyes, where the sincerity was like a deep blue ocean, not with fancy words, just expressing his feelings, and it didn’t place any burden on her heart. Instead, it stirred a slight ripple.

Dating.

For over a thousand years, she had never dated anyone.

She used to always remember that being a little fox spirit, she couldn’t break the rules of the heavenly court. If she broke celestial rules and got banished to the mortal world, being a beast would be brief.

But if she were to be reincarnated into an ugly creature, that would be worse than death.

In her thoughts, she heard his clear voice again: "Now, I’m pursuing you. You can choose to accept or reject me, but none of your choices would change my mind."

He’s already considered everything for her now.

Over a thousand years of being single, should she give it a try with him?

She didn’t exactly like him, but when he said these words, she didn’t dislike it either. Instead, there was a tiny ripple in her heart.

"If you’re willing to be in a romantic relationship with me, though I can’t promise every day will be happiness, I’ll protect you as much as I can and not let you cry, and I refuse to break up without reason."

Tiana Thorne looked down at the red wine glass in her hand, pondering for a while, then slowly lifted her head to look at him: "Were today’s words something you wanted to say long ago, or did knowing I was your sister spur you?"

"A long time ago."

Tiana Thorne squinted, looking into his eyes, seemingly touched by the starlight reflecting within them.

He emphasized once more: "The wine glass in your hand is the first gift I’m giving you as I pursue you."

In other words, if she chooses to be with him, then she can accept this glass.

She looked down at the glass, memories suddenly surfacing...

She seemed to have flirted with a stranger using this glass, right in front of him, then placed it on the stranger’s table and coolly walked away.

Tiana blinked: "Did you want to give me this gift back then, or did it just occur to you now?"

Aiden Shaw gently clasped his interlocked fingers, his gaze deep: "It’s the glass you drank from, bearing your mark, meant to be reclaimed."

Tiana Thorne: "..."

So, at that time, not allowing anyone else to touch it, just wanting to take it away.

Who would have thought his possessive instincts were this strong even then~

Tiana playfully curved her lips: "Besides this, does the glass you gave me hold any special significance?"
