?<strong>Chapter 732:</strong>


    Jayden, fresh from a shower, still steaming with wet hair and d in a ck bathrobe, answered the door.


    Seeing him like this, Aarya’s eyes sparkled with excitement. Unable to contain herself, she invited him to spend the night with her.


    “Honey, aren’t you tempting me like this? Why don’t we get married tonight?” she asked with a flirtatious smile.


    Jayden responded gently, “I don’t believe in rushing things. I want to make sure everything is perfect for our special day.”


    Aarya felt a pang of anxiety. “But with such a boyfriend beside me, how can I hold back?”


    Jayden’s expression turned serious. “You must hold back.”


    Aarya felt disrespected because her invitation had been clear. She wanted him in her bed, and yet he remained unmoved.


    Despite her frustration, she agreed with him on some level. Their first time together should be special and shouldn’t be rushed.


    Conflicted, Aarya considered her options. After a moment of contemtion, she said, “Then just stay and talk to me for a while. I can’t sleep.”


    Jayden agreed without hesitation. “Alright, but you’ll need to wait until I finish drying my hair.”


    Aarya’s hands itched at the thought of touching him. “Let me help you. As your girlfriend, it’s me who should be doing these things.”


    Jayden raised an eyebrow, surveying Aarya’s appearance.


    “But you haven’t changed clothes, removed your makeup, or showered. You should take care of that while I finish.”


    Aarya’s face clouded with resentment. “You just don’t want me to help with your hair, do you?”


    “Am I not being clear?” Jayden said, his tone gentle yet firm. “Are you nning to go to bed without removing your makeup or showering?”


    Aarya shook her head. “No, I’ll shower right away.”


    She hurried off, eager to prove that she wasn’t some unhygienic girl.


    Jayden watched her leave and shut the door behind her.


    An hourter, Aaryay in bed, wrapped in a quilt, waiting for Jayden toe and read her a story.


    When Jayden finally arrived, he carried a book and a cup of hot milk, ready to help her rx.


    Aarya gazed at the warm milk in Jayden’s hand, her brow furrowing slightly in confusion. “What’s this?” she asked.


    “I added honey to it. You have trouble sleeping, don’t you? A cup of warm milk before bed can help you drift off,” Jayden replied thoughtfully, handing her the cup.


    Once again, Aarya felt a surge of warmth at his considerate nature. How could someone be so perfect? He never forgot the little things about her.


    Touched by his gentle care, Aarya felt aforting warmth blossom inside her.


    “It shouldn’t be too hot; it’s just the right temperature,” Jayden reassured her.


    Aarya nodded and took a small sip. The slightly sweet milk warmed not just her stomach but her heart as well.


    She had never been treated with such tenderness. Her heart had slowly started to open to Jayden over the past few days. In just a couple of days, he had made her feel cared for in a way she had never known.


    When Aarya paused after a single sip, Jayden asked, curious, “Why aren’t you drinking it? Don’t you like it?”


    Aarya was momentarily taken aback before shaking her head. “No, it’s not that. It’s just so good; I don’t want it to end.”
