100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Chapter 867  The Last Mission: The Cute Guy

Day Ninety-One… n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

At Aiden's House

The maids had been murmuring at each other, still talking about the woman who their master brought home last night. Aiden didn't usually do this.

If he had to meet a woman, they would spend time outside, not bringing her home. Furthermore, the woman was really drunk last night. She even vomited in front of the doorsteps while Aiden was carrying her.

The maids also wondered if Black Rose would become the future mistress of this house. She was the first woman he brought home so they thought their young master was now serious about his relationship with this woman.

Meanwhile, in Aiden's guest room, Cherry, also known as Black Rose, had already woken up. She frowned when she noticed the unfamiliar surroundings.

She sat up immediately. "Damn! Where am I?!" Cherry groaned as she felt the throbbing pain on her forehead. It was the result of her hangover.

"I swear… next time… I won't drink much. I hate getting drunk," she lamented to herself while rubbing her temples.

She almost jumped off the bed when the door was pushed open. Aiden entered the room without knocking.

"Good morning," he greeted her with his warm smile.

But Cherry just glared at him. "Who the hell are you?"

She grabbed the first object near her– scissors, pointing the tip toward Aiden.

Aiden raised his hands as if he was surrendering. "Hey! Calm down. I'm not a bad guy here. I'm not going to hurt you. Please put down your weapon."

Cherry frowned, still suspicious of Aiden. "Who are you? And what is this place? Why am I here?" She bombarded him with so many questions as she couldn't remember anything last night after she got drunk. Her memories were so hazy and vague.

"This is my private villa. I'm Aiden Wu. I brought you here last night because your friends left you in my care. I was supposed to fetch Jane, but I ended up bringing you home."

Cherry's jaw dropped when she heard that. She felt like crying!

'Damn! How could my sisters do that to me? Leaving me in the hand of a complete stranger?!'

"Where is my Sis Jane?" Cherry continued to threaten him with the sharp scissors.

Aiden could only step back anxiously. He didn't expect this woman to act violently. He was used to women clinging to him. But this woman won't even allow him to get closer to her.

"I-I don't know. Someone else picked her up last night," Aiden answered truthfully. "Can you put that thing away now? I don't want to bleed," he tried convincing her again in his friendly tone. He even cracked some jokes. But Cherry didn't get his humor at all.

"By the way, are you hungry? I came here to inform you that breakfast is ready. Come with me. Let's eat."

Surprisingly, Cherry's stomach grumbled when food was mentioned. She and Aiden locked eyes for a moment before Aiden burst out laughing, while Cherry looked down, hiding her blushing face. She felt a bit embarrassed, as she had been trying to put on a brave front, but her stomach didn't cooperate.

"I know you are hungry. You can't deny it. Come," Aiden put on a charming smile, extending his right hand to Cherry.

Pouting her lips, Cherry finally put down the scissors. Then she grabbed Aiden's hand as he helped her stand up. He carefully guided her to the dining area. Several pairs of eyes were directed at them, silently observing them.

Cherry felt uncomfortable with the strange gazes she was receiving from the maids and the butler.

"Can you send them away? How can I enjoy my food if they will keep watching us like that?" Cherry whispered to Aiden.

Aiden immediately signaled his workers to leave them alone. "Now, they are gone. Make yourself comfortable. Then after this, I can send you home." Aiden thoughtfully put food on Cherry's plate. Cherry blinked in amusement. This was the first time someone had served her like this, and she wasn't used to this kind of treatment, so she felt a bit cringed at first.

"Can you stop doing that? I'm not a kid. I can get my food by myself." Cherry complained, hitting Aiden's hand.

Aiden apologized and smiled sheepishly. It was just his habit to baby a woman. All his past girlfriends always made ridiculous requests to be treated like a princess, spoiling them to the core. But Black Rose was truly different from them.

He felt like his charm was not working at all. 'Damn. Why do I feel like I am so unattractive today? This pretty lady keeps glaring at me as if everything I do annoys her.' Aiden put on a pitiful face.

Because of that, Aiden seemed to lose his appetite. He just simply watched Cherry as she began eating her food. She liked the hangover soup he specifically made for her.

"By the way, how do you know my Sis Jane?" Cherry started a conversation with him because his silence was making the atmosphere awkward.

"Well. I met her at my best friend's villa. Then we clicked instantly and became friends. Your sister is more approachable than you." Aiden was not able to control himself in making those remarks. 'Damn. I hope I didn't offend her,' Aiden simply took a peek at Cherry, anticipating her reaction.

But Cherry's expression remained neutral. "Honestly, I feel like my sister has experienced a drastic change in her personality in just one night. If you don't know, you won't dare say that she is approachable and friendly. She is someone who can intimidate you with just one look."

"If you mess with her, then you will be killed instantly," she added, making Aiden shiver at the thought.

'OMG! No wonder Nathan warned me at that time. So he wasn't kidding when he said that I should stay away from Jane if I still loved my life.' Aiden heaved a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, Cherry softly giggled when she noticed the scaredy look on Aiden's face. 'What a weird cute guy.' She thought. After a while, she bit her lower lip, stopping her smile. 'Damn. What am I thinking? Erase! Erase!' Cherry shook her head, scolding herself. She couldn't believe that she called Aiden 'cute'. She wasn't supposed to think that way.

"Hey. Did I do something wrong again? Why are you frowning?" Aiden asked Cherry in puzzlement. Her mood changes so fast.

"Nothing. I want more soup!" She decided to change the topic.

Aiden stood up to get more soup when his young butler suddenly arrived.

"Master, you have a phone call!" The young butler handed the phone over to Aiden.

Aiden excused himself for a moment to answer it.

"Hello?"

"Hi, Aiden! It's me, Jane. Is Cherry with you?" Jane called Aiden instantly after waking up. She had forgotten about Black Rose last night since she was drunk then her focus was diverted to Nathan. "Oh. Yes. She's with me. Why?"

"Great. Thanks, Aiden. Take care of Cherry on my behalf. She is the woman I want to introduce to you. Now, be good. Prove to her that you are the right man for her."

Aiden was at a loss for words. Was Jane playing a Cupid here? He glanced in the direction of the dining area. He had to admit that he was captivated by Cherry's beauty. And there was something more to it. Jane was about to say something more but suddenly someone snatched the phone from her, ending the call.

When Jane turned around, she was greeted by Nathan's dark and cold expression. "Good morning, Nate," Jane smiled sheepishly. She thought Nathan was still sleeping next to her. Who would have thought he was already wide awake? And why was he looking irritable as early this morning?

Nathan didn't greet her back. He just continued frowning. He was annoyed because Jane called Aiden as soon as she woke up. She didn't even think about the guy just lying next to her.

After a few seconds, Jane let out a soft giggle as if she had figured out why Nathan was looking so grumpy.

"Hey, Are you jealous?" She confronted him, cupping his face as she teased him.

The crease on Nathan's forehead deepened further. Nothing was funny about it but Jane kept giggling. Was she deliberately making him jealous?

Nathan removed her hands and he was about to get off the bed but Jane pulled him back. To pacify the jealous man, she planted a soft yet passionate kiss on his lips.

"I'm all yours, Nate," she declared after breaking the kiss. "No need to feel jealous."

Nathan's cold aura disappeared right away but his expression remained the same. "I want to stay in bed longer… with you. Don't leave me yet." Jane demanded, hugging Nathan's body.

Nathan didn't say a word but he just stayed still. Jane smiled triumphantly since the indifferent guy didn't move. She trapped him in her warm embrace, resting her head on his sturdy chest.

'Let me stay here for a while. I need to recharge first before confronting my mortal nemesis later.' Jane thought to herself. Vincent and Monica would arrive today.
