Chapter 213

Aurora’s checks flushed a deep red as she locked eyes with Parker and stammered, “You.. you kissed me.” 

A playful smirk appeared on Parker’s lips as he leaned closer and pressed a gentle kiss on her forehead. “Like this?” he asked, his tone teasing. 

Aurora shook her head quickly. “No, not like that.” 

With a grin, Parker leaned in and kissed her softly on both cheeks. “Was it like this, then?” he asked again. 

“No, still not like that,” she replied, shaking her head once more. 

This time, Parker brought his face closer, his lips brushing lightly against hers. He placed a tender kiss on her lips and whispered in a husky voice, “Was it like this?” 

Aurora didn’t respond. Her breath caught as she stared into his eyes. Then, to his utter surprise, she wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him closer. With unexpected boldness, she kissed him deeply, her lips pressing against his with urgency. 

Parker’s eyes widened for a moment, stunned by her sudden move. But as her kiss deepened, he felt his heart race. How could he not respond when the woman he loved was kissing him so passionately? All his reservations melted away as he kissed her back, pouring every ounce of his feelings into that moment. 

What started clumsy and hesitant soon turned into a passionate exchange. Their hearts raced in unison as their lips moved together, tongues exploring with growing confidence. To Aurora, this felt like a dream, a vivid and beautiful one where she could let go of all inhibitions. 

For Parker, however, it was a dream come true. He was completely lost in the moment, the world around him fading into the background. Through the kiss, he tried to convey everything he felt for her–love, gratitude, and longing. 

But their blissful moment was suddenly interrupted by a voice outside the room. 

“Aurora, dear, are you alright? Why were you screaming earlier?” Grandma Marie called out, her voice filled with concern. 

Aurora froze. “…” 

Parker panicked. “…” 

Reality came crashing back, and Parker remembered where he was–Aurora’s house, in the middle of the night. 

Still slightly dazed from the alcohol, Aurora giggled, poking Parker’s cheek. “Hehe, Grandma even showed up in my dream. You were right after all,” she said with a sleepy laugh. 

Parker blinked in disbelief. “…!” 

Quickly snapping into action, he jumped off the bed, frantically searching for a place to hide. If Grandma Marie walked in and found him there, what kind of impression would she have of him? He cursed himself silently for not thinking this through. 

Spotting the closet, Parker darted over and slipped behind it just as the door to Aurora’s bedroom began to creak open.

Meanwhile, Aurora, still under the haze of alcohol, watched him vanish from sight. She pouted, mumbling under her breath, “See? You always disappear like this. Shameless boss…” With that, she closed her eyes and drifted back to sleep. 

Parker, hidden behind the closet, heard her complaint and sighed indisbelief. He couldn’t decide whether to laugh or cry at her words. Twitching his lips, he vowed silently, Just wait, Aurora. I’ll show you how shameless I can be for you. 

But for now, all he could do was hope that Grandma Marie wouldn’t find him hiding there. 

Grandma Marie carefully pushed open the door to Aurora’s bedroom, her face etched with concern. The sudden scream she had heard moments ago had startled her awake. Worried that Aurora might have fallen or hurt herself, she had rushed over to check. 

As the soft glow of the light illuminated the room, Grandma Marie scanned her surroundings. Everything seemed to be in order. Aurora was lying peacefully on her bed, her expression calm despite the earlier commotion. 

Relieved, Grandma Marie sighed softly and approached her granddaughter. She pulled the blanket up to Aurora’s shoulders, tucking her in gently. After ensuring she was comfortable, Grandma Marie turned off the light and quietly exited the room, shaking her head with a small smile at her granddaughter’s antics. 

Once he was sure the coast was clear, Parker emerged cautiously from his hiding spot behind the closet. He released a long breath of relief, running a hand through his hair. That had been close–too close. 

He walked over to Aurora’s bedside, gazing at her sleeping form. A tender smile graced his lips as he leaned down to place a soft kiss on her forehead. “Goodnight, Aurora,” he whispered. “I hope you remember everything from tonight.” With that, he slipped out of the room, leaving her to rest. 

The next morning, Aurora stirred awake, her head pounding as though a hammer was rhythmically striking it. “Ugh!” she groaned, pressing her palms to her temples in an attempt to ease the throbbing pain. 

Sitting up slowly, she looked around her room, her face scrunched in confusion. When did I get back home? What exactly happened last night? 

She massaged her aching head, trying to piece together the scattered fragments of her memory. Gradually, the events of the previous night began to resurface: the fashion show, her impromptu singing, Jeff, the party, the drinks… and then- 

Her heart skipped a beat. She remembered. 

She had kissed Parker. 

Aurora’s eyes widened in shock 

as the 

WHAT?! I KISSED Parker?! 

*********** memory of their kiss in the parking lot replayed vividly in her mind. 

Throwing herself back onto the bed, she grabbed a pillow and buried her face in it, screaming silently. Why, why, why?! He’s my boss! How could I have kissed him? What must he think of me now? 

She tossed and turned, her mind a chaotic mess of panic and embarrassment. But then, more memories began to surface. She remembered them playing in the parking lot, him chasing after her, picking her up and gently placing her in his car… and then his words. 

I love you. 

I love you, Aurora.
