Chapter 179: Strange Behavior
Aiden has heard her reply, and he can tell she is trying not to embarrass herself in front of him, so he lets her get away this time, as he has to hunt more zombies now. However, he has not forgotten what she has said.
So, with clear skepticism in her eyes, he replied to her.
"Hmm, if you say so, then it must just only be okay."
Ava, hearing his words and seeing the look on his face, could clearly tell he didn't believe her at all, but she was not going to say anything as she didn't want to talk about her previous shameful behavior.
So, she only averted her gaze when he looked into her eyes, as she felt even more embarrassed when he looked directly into her eyes.
Aiden finds her behavior cute when she tries to avert her gaze from meeting his, but he knows he doesn't have the time to play around, so he has to quickly finish this topic.
So, for now, he focused on the more important matter, but before, he decided to ask if she was going to join them tonight or not.
"Ava, look me in the eyes," he said in a calm voice, looking directly into her eyes, which tried to avert them many times.
And now, seeing that she has stopped avoiding his eyes, even when she is embarrassed right now as the blush on her face is still a deep shade of red, he is pleased.
He is not going to whisper in her ear, as when she would join them tonight, others would also know, so he didn't care that much and also he has no intention of hiding it in the first place—otherwise, he shouldn't have shown his affection so openly in the first place.
So, he showed a serious expression on his face, but there was also a hint of softness present when he asked this, and when these words left his mouth, a light blush also appeared on his handsome face as it looked like something common for him to say, and even he felt a little embarrassed to ask this.
"Ava, do you want to join me and my sister tonight?"
Aiden didn't stop there and decided to continue He was about to say that there was no pressure on her and that if she didn't like it, she could just reject him and take her time slowly to move to this step.
But he is not going to give her any option where she is going to spend the night alone with him because he is not going to go against his big sister's words when she is ready to accept his harem, and even after everything that happened earlier, she has still not complained a single word.
So, he is not going to break his word while doubting she will join him tonight, but he is not worried about letting her join them later, as he is confident he will convince her. But only a few seconds after these words left his mouth, he heard her reply, which shocked him a little, as from the tone of her voice, he could tell she was even looking forward to the night.
"I-I w-would love to j-join you g-guys t-tonight."
She kept her head low after saying these words, but while she was looking down at the ground, there was a wide smile on her face as she was looking forward to the night.
When Ava previously heard his words asking her to join him tonight, Ava didn't feel weird even though they had only gotten together today, but she would have rejected him, as he would have thought she was an easy woman when she agreed to him so easily.
However, if he had asked even one more time, she would have agreed, as rejecting him would have been hard for her, and his handsome appearance would have made it even harder for her. But when she heard that he mentioned joining him and his sister tonight, right after she registered this in her mind, she knew she couldn't reject this even a single time, as her whole body was screaming at her that she should just accept it because her greatest fantasies are going to be fulfilled even without her asking him and convincing him to do so. How could she even think of rejecting this once-in-a-million opportunity? So, without thinking much, she agreed to him. Stay connected with m|vl|e|mp|y|r
But knowing what she is agreeing to, she feels quite shy because she can tell what they are going to do when she joins him for the night. So, her voice broke a little while agreeing, and the blush on her face was still there. And right after saying what she wanted, she kept her head down.
However, this didn't stop her from confirming once again if what she heard earlier was true or not, or was it only her imagination? It felt quite weird to her that he would actually ask such a good thing.
Keeping her head down, she confirmed to him once again.
"I-Is s-sister-in-law also g-going to j-join us?"
Aiden, who thought she had not heard his previous words properly, assumed she was asking him if Alicia was going to join them or not. But now, after listening, he was going to tell her that she was going to join, and if she didn't like it, he would give her some time so she would be able to become comfortable with this.
So, in a calm yet caring voice, he told her gently, as even he knows that they are the weird ones here, so he has to be as gentle as possible while explaining this to her.
"Yes, Ava—"
"It's alright."
However, before he could continue explaining to her more about this, her meek voice cut him off, and for some reason, her voice even sounded a little excited. Aiden wasn't able to tell it properly when her voice broke so much previously, but this time he is sure that she is excited.
Even when she is keeping her head down and not looking at him, showing him how shy she is feeling right now—which he totally understands, as he is literally asking someone like her, who has just fallen in love with him in the morning—confessed her feelings in the afternoon, and now he is asking if she is going to spend their night together with him.
He knows she has understood what he is trying to ask, and weirdly enough, he has even told her his big sister would also be joining them.
And out of his expected refusal and denial, which he thought she would do if she heard him, by some luck, she did not deny it and even accepted on his first try. From her voice, he can tell she is excited.
He didn't know what to even think now, as all his previous worries about making her accept this weird arrangement didn't even come.
But even he knows that this unexpected reaction from Ava is not normal at all.
'She is weird.'
'Or is she in love with my big sis also?'
However, right after having this thought, he quickly denied it, as his senses were quite sharp, and if she really had feelings for his big sis, he would have surely noticed that. He even felt good knowing he didn't get into such a strange relationship. But there are still doubts in his mind after seeing her strange behavior.
So, he only silently looked at her shy figure standing in front of him for a few seconds, trying to guess what could be the reason for her excitement.
