Chapter 314: Master the skill for two reasons.

In the past, she had made all the efforts to win Ryan’s heart.

But in the end, all her efforts served her no purpose because ultimately Ryan never cared to even acknowledge her even briefly.  To him, it never mattered.  She would cook him the lunches and send them over so that he could realize how accommodating she was to him and the arrangement that was forced upon both of them.

But it was not soon she came to know that he had long decided to believe what he wanted to.

No words from her would make him see things otherwise.  He disrespected her, her gestures and efforts each time, making her lose confidence in the skill that she learnt to impress him.  And it wasn’t long after, she seized to do things willingly.

Later she did all just to make sure her mother didn’t rant to her for not making any efforts to make the arrangement work.  So when she had said to Aiden that she didn’t know how to cook, she simply wanted to avoid any compulsion that would have come along if she had accepted it.  But now, things have changed.

She was willing to be compelled… if it was for him.

So, she willingly cooked for him and decided to do it more in the future as well.

However, when he said that there was no need for it, she felt her heart constrict slightly.

With furrowed brows, she asked, “Is it that bad?” Her eyes looked nervous, staring intently at him as if waiting for him to speak.

“What I mean is that you don’t have to change anything.

They taste just perfect.

Just how I like it,” he said.  Arwen blinked.

“You liked it?” she asked, as if she couldn’t bring herself to believe it.

“You don’t have to be comforting always.

If you didn’t like it, you can always tell me and I will -”  Before she could finish her words, Aiden pushed a spoon into her mouth, letting her taste it herself.  She hadn’t expected him to do that, so it took her a while to register it.  “Taste it yourself and tell me if I am stating the facts or trying to comfort you.”  At his say, Arwen slowly chewed and she couldn’t agree less with Aiden’s words.

He wasn’t saying it to comfort her, rather the food was actually nice.

She wasn’t that bad actually.

“My wife’s cook is good, right?” he asked again when she didn’t speak.  Arwen glanced at him with some thought and then nodded.

“She isn’t that bad actually.”  Aiden nodded and then went back to finish his lunch.

Arwen just sat beside her, watching him.

After a while, she said, “You are not allowed to skip your meals anymore.

From tomorrow either I will bring you the meals myself, or if for some reason, I will personally ask Mr.

Jones to send it to you here.

Don’t try to send the box back before completing it because if you do, you will be wasting my efforts and I am sure you won’t want to do that.”  She said and her words like that made him turn to glance back at her.

After thinking a bit, he said, “You know that you don’t have to do it, right?”  Arwen reacted as if she didn’t know.

But soon giving away her facade, she said, “Of course, I have to do it.

Or else, you will find a way to skip the meal every other day.

Can you dare to say that you wouldn’t?” she challenged.  And Aiden couldn’t hold his smile.

“Haven’t you started to read me better and better?”  “Of course,” she accepted.

“I have to master that skill for two reasons.

First, it will make my life easier with you and second…” she paused before finally saying, “I am your wife and this should be the basic thing between us in our relationship.”  “Basic thing?”  Nodding, Arwen hummed.

“Yes, the basic thing -to know my husband best -in a way that no one else does.

So that I am capable of understanding you inside out.”  Aiden nodded as if he understood what she meant but she doubted that he hardly did.

After all, how could he?

He has known her like the back of his hand from the very first day.  Was she so easy to read?  Or was it him, who held the skill of unfolding her like no one else did?

“Need my help?” he asked, and not understanding what he meant, she asked back.  “In?”  “In making you understand me like no one else does.” As he said that, he kept the plate down and slowly reached to undo the third button of his shirt, letting it loose so that his muscled chest came right into her vision.  Arwen instantly understood what he meant.

Pressing her lips together, she reached to hold his hands, before moving to do his buttons back.

“There is no need for that, Mr.

Winslow.

I will find many decent ways to do that.

You don’t have to take the trouble,” she said, looking into his eyes  Aiden wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her closer, and making her breath hitch.  “Are you sure?” he asked, and Arwen raised her brows incredulously before reaching to remove his wrap.  “Yes, I am sure,” she said, before pulling herself away from his embrace.

“Now, if the fun time is over, finish your food first.” Saying that, she handed him the plate again.  While he was on it, Arwen watched him, satisfied and content in that moment.

There seemed nothing missing at that moment.

Everything felt perfect with him around.  She was enjoying that peaceful moment with him when she remembered the call she had with Beca, earlier in the afternoon.

Although she had agreed to go for the dinner, she didn’t want to decide on her own.  “There was something I wanted to discuss with you,” Arwen said when she saw Aiden finishing his lunch and setting the plate down.
