Chapter 502
Chapter 502:
“Oh no, what should I do?” Maggie’s face clouded with worry.
“Relax, Mom and I have got your back.”
Maggie felt a sense of relief after Kenneth’s reassurance. With that assurance, her anxiety began to ease.
Her mother’s influential status within the Delgado family made her a powerful ally in persuading her father. Indeed, her father, typically so strict and unyielding, often softened in her mother’s presence.
“Hmm?” Kenneth looked toward the villa’s exit and narrowed his eyes.
“Where is he going at this hour?”
It was Leonidas who had exited the villa.
Now that Janice and Aiden were on a date, Leonidas leaving the villa at this moment made Kenneth suspicious.
He could sense that this man harbored deep hostility toward Janice. Despite the last-minute nature of their date, the production team had meticulously planned every detail.
A luxury car, arranged by the crew, took Janice and Aiden to a stylish restaurant, perfect for a romantic evening.
To ensure they wouldn’t be disturbed by other guests, the team had reserved the entire restaurant, creating a private setting just for Janice and Aiden.
Given the special arrangements, Janice had also taken the time to dress up for the occasion.
She chose an elegant black dress, its simplicity enhanced by tasteful lace details that highlighted her natural grace and beauty. Aiden dressed sharply in a white suit, forming a perfect visual contrast with Janice’s dark ensemble, much to the admiration of everyone around.
Together, they appeared as if destined for each other.

As they sat opposite one another, their demeanor was as regal and polite as royalty, an awe-inspiring sight.
“Is tonight our official first date?” Janice lifted her wine glass, its contents a rich burgundy that caught the light and sparkled mysteriously.
With a nostalgic smile, full of wistful remorse, Aiden responded, “Looking back, I realize how much I’ve missed. There were so many opportunities, but I failed to appreciate them.”
With a knowing lift of her brow, Janice replied, “The past is past, and often, our lessons come from the opportunities we’ve lost.”
Aiden gazed into Janice’s eyes, feeling the sting of her words in his soul.
His realization of his feelings for her had come too late, a bitter consequence he felt he deserved.
“Let’s not dwell on what was,” Janice suggested, swirling her wine with a playful smile. “I brought us here to savor the present.”
“Indeed, as you wish,” Aiden agreed, taking a deep breath to soothe his rough thoughts, and raised his glass to toast with Janice.
As they enjoyed their wine and meal, the ambiance around them softened into a more pleasant harmony.
The wine seemed to loosen Aiden’s tongue, and he found himself speaking freely, admiring the warm glow on Janice’s cheeks, his gaze softening like the light around them. “I half-expected you to bring Stephen along tonight.”
With a sip of her wine, Janice chuckled and replied, “A date with my brother would hardly be appropriate.”
