The Traps of Black Swan

Chapter 62 - Accepted



Naomi was infuriated when another half a million transferred from Aarvi. She felt like Aarvi was trying to show off she had money but thought she was squandering Aaron\'s hard-earned money.

She called her grandfather and whinged about everything acting fragile and hurt blaming everything on Aarvi. Whereas Aarvi didn\'t fret about Naomi and tried to be helpful at the campsite instead of wasting time.

All departed in the evening making sure they could fly to city Mocon before snowfall in the city J. Aaron didn\'t bother to call Naomi and left with Aarvi in their car which repeated even for the flight which inflamed her hatred towards Aarvi higher and higher.

On Saturday of the week.

Aarvi was tired of reading Sean\'s nonstop messages the whole week to the state she really wanted to block his number. Sean Harmon loves nobody other than himself so it irritates her to meet the self-obsessed Harmons every time.

She agreed to meet him in the evening and swamped herself in the work. Due to Dax busy in an alliance with Hays International rival for the project Ebony, she had lots of work to go through.

Aaron appeared with lunch when she had no time to move or eat. If it was a week earlier, she would have just presumed he was taking care of her but now she knows he wants to spend time with her.

Sitting for lunch, she couldn\'t help but mention, "Doctor Rivas, I know how committed, earnest, and reliable you are about having me in your life and wishing to be in my life. But why are you stressing out yourself coming here, working over at your office, and then hospital?"

Aaron silently heard her sitting on the couch and stroked her head, "Don\'t worry about me. I was nearby so I dropped in."

Aarvi relaxed knowing that and nodded. She took a fork to eat, Aaron continued, "Taking care of you is my responsibility, and wooing you is my current high priority. Anyway, I will pick you up after your dinner with Brainless."

Aarvi kept the fork down and turned to him. He flashed her a charming smirk and started eating accurately knowing what was going on in her head.

"Why? Don\'t you want to go on a dinner date? I had thought the date is also part of a courtship." In simple words, she stated that she didn\'t permit him to woo her.

Aaron brazenly modified his statement, "Then just think as I am taking care of you."

Aarvi rolled her eyes and started eating. Soon enough a question popped in her head and turned to him. 

His every action and movement was refined as if trained to achieve the topmost elegance. The intervals between his movements were equal like there was a timer to make those moves. His chiseled jawline moved angularly as he chewed.

Shawn\'s style doesn\'t differ much either but he is chivalrous and carries a happy face all the time around them like a happy prince of a royal kingdom. Aaron was different, his movements give off a noble aristocratic vibe.

\'No doubt these two are named as Prince and King of the city.\' Aarvi thought to herself and heard a voice containing a hint of tease. "I am not running away... Or are you waiting for me to feed you?"

Aarvi ignored his tease and inquired, "Who gave you the courage to wait for so long thinking I will be available and single? What would you have done if Vance Hays married me?"

Aaron said the truth of the present, "I haven\'t done anything to Hays because you know, you are here with me having lunch and chatting."

She blurted out before she could repress it, "Don\'t tell me you encouraged Grace Wells to covet my ex-fiance?" But she wasn\'t angry even if he had done it.

Aaron held her hand and pulled her next to him. He said in a low voice near her ear, "Don\'t you think if I coveted you from your ex-fiance, it would be easier for me to even directly get married? Why will I go to some halfwitted woman?"

Aarvi knew that so she nodded and elbowed him to let him leave her. Grace Wells is a woman who wants to step up and enter the socialite and wealthy world, Vance Hays just wants to take authority over things without having any potential.

"You mean, you would have slept with me to break my marriage. I would have got the title of b*tch who ran behind a wealthier man even if I would be the victim and why do you think I will marry such a person?"

Aaron bopped her on the head before she could even finish talking, "If I wanted to do that, you would be my wife now." Aarvi was yet to get out of her stupor by the smack on her head, he did it again, "Stop overloading your brain."

She is a devil at throwing tantrums if her mood worsens especially around Aaron yet he never forced her or got physical, so that was quite shocking.

The previous Doctor Aaron was too plain and disciplined but this state was interesting and fun but "Why are you hitting me?" She hadn\'t finished saying Aaron fed her.

Aarvi: "..."

\'What\'s wrong with me? Why did I open my mouth?\' Aarvi moved away from him as she chewed and swallowed glaring at him.

Aaron was thinking she was going to scold but she was totally unexpected of his thoughts, "Alright, Woo me all you want but you are not allowed to cross your line. If I confirm my like is just an attachment, I will move out and live alone. Any objection?"

She wasn\'t sure if he knew her so well by two years but he knew exactly what would make her happy, stressed, content, and relaxed. She doesn\'t have to voice everything out loud and he would be ready with that.

Even though they cuddled in city J and she was embarrassed for a minute or two, she wasn\'t awkward to face him and she couldn\'t imagine somebody else in his place either.

Instead of being excited, Aaron was concerned about her, "Don\'t push yourself."

Aarvi wasn\'t sure if she was pushing herself into it but she wanted Aaron to move on if she can\'t love him back. "No kissing."

Pulling her next to him, he pointed to the plate for her to eat, "Don\'t worry."

Aarvi was amused. If she tells Shawn or Dax, they wouldn\'t believe there exists a man who was ready to date with a condition of no kissing.

The more she gets to know about Aaron, she felt he deserves somebody who could love him unconditionally unlike her who wasn\'t sure if she could break her walls and embrace his love.

It wasn\'t that she doesn\'t want to accept him or his love, she has her own weakness that is obstructing her in the fear of hurting him.

After lunch, Aaron kissed her on the forehead and professed, "This is accepted." Aarvi trusts his love, she knew well he would do anything to keep her comfortable so she nodded looking at his warm gaze.

He left by adding, "I will pick you up after your dinner."

She really hoped she wasn\'t making a mistake by giving him hope and also wished that he shouldn\'t get hurt by her, intentionally or unintentionally.

---

Aarvi completed her work and felt tired to even think of meeting self-obsessed Sean Harmon. But she wasn\'t going to lose the opportunity to set a distance between youngest and eldest Harmon brothers.

She smirked looking at her reflection in the mirror and left for the dinner date.

Her goal - To torment Sean Harmon.
