Chapter 173

Aria's POV I couldn't sleep, my heart beating frantically. I almost instinctively wanted to grab my phone to message Lillian and share these surging emotions, when I suddenly remembered my phone was still in Aiden's room. Should I go get it? If I went in, would I be able to come back out? Not coming out... wouldn't be wrong either, right? After all, we were now a proper married couple - who would sleep in separate beds? After tossing and turning in bed for a few minutes, I gritted my teeth and made up my mind, getting up to retrieve my phone. At the master bedroom door, it was tightly shut. At this hour, Aiden was probably showering. If I took my phone while he was showering, he wouldn't know I'd been there... how clever! However, my joy lasted less than two seconds before I discovered the door was locked. "..." Who was he guarding against? It couldn't be me, right? A small sense of hurt rose from the bottom of my heart. Standing at the door for a moment to calm down, I knocked gently.
