Chapter 204 Chapter 204 - Ravenwood Hotel
Seeing that Aiden was clearly nervous about what Lilia had just said, both Emma and Olivia were currently trying their best to comfort him.
However, no matter what they did, they never got any sort of response, Aiden was simply not answering any of their questions.
Then, after a couple of minutes, Aiden seemed to come back from the dead as he opened his eyes once again and was a little confused by the scene which he was currently seeing.
"Why are you two holding me like that?" he asked confused as to why they were so close to him.
Maelis who heard him say that couldn't help but sigh.
'How can he be so stupid?' she thought, not understanding how oblivious he was.
He was literally so stupid whenever the subject of something wasn't fighting or something like that.
"Um, no reason," said Emma, blushing.
"Because I like you," said Olivia, holding him even tighter.
Aiden hearing those answers couldn't help but reveal a little smile on his face.
They were literally two opposites, one was confident and the other was shy.
However, he knew that Olivia was the type to joke around, so he didn't take her seriously at all.
"Alright, enough with the jokes, let me go," said Aiden with a smirk.
'But, it's not a joke dummie,' thought Olivia, releasing him as she didn't want to anger him or something like that.
Emma, on the other hand, had already let go a few seconds ago, so she simply stayed a couple of steps away from him.
Then, Emma got a good look at Aiden's face and noticed that his smirk or any signs of emotions for that matter had disappeared, completely gone.
"Aren't you happy that I'm joining Melinda's family with you?" asked Emma.
"Of course I am, why?" replied Aiden confused as to why this was the subject of the conversation.
He had literally decided to use his wish to make her part of the same family as him, why would she even think that he wasn't happy?
It was Aiden, who had wanted her in the first place.
"I don't know you seem, um, preoccupied by something."
'Of course, I am,' thought Aiden, as he remembered that he needed to go and visit Lilia later tonight.
Aiden simply couldn't imagine what was going to happen and that was making him nervous, even if he was trying as hard as he possible to stay as calm as possible, it seemed that it wasn't even possible.
"Then, put a smile on your face, okay?" said Emma, putting on the biggest smile that she could muster.
Seeing her smile, Aiden tried to copy her, however, his smile was much smaller as not even his teeth were visible.
'Well, I guess that's good enough,' thought Emma, seeing that Aiden had at least tried.
"Um, sorry to interrupt but can we leave this place?" asked Maelis, wanting to leave this place.
While saying that, Aiden noticed that the tone of voice was low as if she was sad over the events that had just happened.
Well, it was normal for her to feel down, she had just lost her daughter and probably wouldn't see her soon at all.
Still, it seemed that she didn't want to show the sadness that she was currently feeling.
"Sure," replied in unison both Emma and Olivia.
Aiden on the other hand only nodded his hand as he put his mask back on his face.
Then, everyone then disappeared leaving behind Logan who simply followed right behind his sister also teleporting.
They were now all out of that dimension or portal, whatever they even called it.
"I think we should go sleep, what do you guys say?" uttered Emma, who was clearly tired as Aiden could see dark circles right under her eyes which showed the lack of sleep that she was under at the moment.
Aiden nodded, however, his mind was somewhere else completely different.
'Ravenwood Hotel, huh? Where's that?' thought Aiden as he remembered that Lilia had told him to meet her there later.
Did later mean tonight?
Aiden wasn't sure but he wouldn't lose any time as he knew that this conversation between Lilia and him would be quite interesting.
"Um, Gerald do you know where the Ravenwood Hotel is?" asked Aiden.
He knew that it was a question that would raise eyebrows but that didn't matter to him, as he simply wanted to find that place as soon as he could.
"The Ravenwood Hotel? Sure, why?"
Aiden wasn't sure if he should reveal it, however, he realized that it wouldn't matter whether he would or not as everyone who was here right now wouldn't do anything against him.
"I need to talk to Lilia about something," revealed Aiden, as he was suddenly being looked at intensively.
"About what?" asked Olivia right away, as she remembered the face that he had made after she had whispered something to his ear.
However, this time Aiden was starting to get annoyed by the constant questions.
"None of your business, I need to meet her that's all," he replied, coldly, making it known that he wouldn't reveal the reason.
Olivia was a little shocked that she had just been spoken to in such a way, however, she understood that Aiden was probably stressed and nervous about this meeting, so she decided that she wouldn't comment on it.
"So, where is it?" asked Aiden once again.
"Well, I can show you if you want," replied Gerald.
"Then, show me the way," said Aiden as he indicated for Gerald to show him.
"Wait, you want to go there right now?"
"Yes."
Aiden just couldn't wait anymore, he needed to go and meet her, so that he could learn about what she would do.
Would she tell Sylas about him?
What was their relationship before?
This was the chance for Aiden to learn about many things which he completely ignored.
"Then, follow me," said Gerald, as he started walking in a different direction.
The rest of them tried to follow them, however, Maelis held them back.
"Don't follow them, he clearly wants to be alone."
