Bab 619: Someone to talk to

~ Los Angeles, Cliffside house ~

Aiden is not sure how long he sat in front of his laptop, alone in the room… and alone in that conference call.

He was thinking how is it possible that he messed up so badly. Just previous day Sarah looked at him with eyes full of love and admiration. And he had four more people on whose support he could count anytime. And since his blunder, Sarah looked at him handful of times, always with eyes full of tears and fear. And those four people who supported him now are giving him disapproving looks.

Aiden can't deny it. He deserves it. But still… it hurts. If he has the power to turn back time and do-over this day, he would do it. But what would he do differently? He would still want to protect Sarah. What was wrong with that? Except for the way he said it.

It's not only Sarah to whom he needs to prove himself all over again, but to her sisters, to his brother and to Felix.
