Chapter 782
Chapter 782:
Before she could dwell on it, Aiden leaned in slightly. “Janice, let’s visit my parents sometime. It’s been a while. My mom misses you.”
“Sure.” Janice agreed readily. At that moment, she realized she missed Nina too. It had been too long.
At Efrery Airport, the domestic arrivals terminal buzzed with the usual flow of travelers.
Near the exit, Leah stood with several bodyguards.
Their presence didn’t go unnoticed—curious glances flickered their way, whispers rippling through the passersby. “Who are they waiting for?”
“How should I know? But that woman looks familiar. Wait, that’s Leah Sugden! CEO of Freak Design!”
“Ms. Sugden? She’s a giant in the design world. Even Delgado Jewelry is trying to partner with her!”
As people began to recognize Leah, speculation quickly followed.
If someone as influential as Leah was here personally, then whoever she was waiting for had to be someone even more extraordinary. Who on earth would command such respect?
“Look! Another group is coming!”
The murmurs swelled into hushed excitement as another entourage strode in with equal dominance.
At the center of the formation stood a man with a sharp gaze that seemed to cut through the air. His commanding aura and presence were no less intimidating than Leah’s.
“It’s Colson Navarro from Forest Corp! First, Ms. Sugden, and now Mr. Navarro. Who could be visiting Efrery to deserve such a reception?”
“Surely, only someone like Aiden Green could warrant such a grand welcome.”

The passengers, initially intent on collecting their luggage, found themselves irresistibly drawn to the spectacle, pausing to see who would arrive next.
“Ms. Sugden, you’ve arrived early,” Colson said, approaching Leah with a friendly smile.
Leah glanced his way and smiled back. “If my schedule hadn’t been so packed, I would have personally flown out to escort them here.”
“You and Ms. Edwards seem so close. I’m quite envious.”
“Oh, come on. Women form bonds just as strong as the brotherhood you share with Mr. Green.”
Colson offered a resigned smile, fully aware of his place. While he was Aiden’s trusted assistant, he wasn’t close enough to be considered a buddy. Aiden shared that kind of deep bond only with Braylen, forged through life-and-death situations on distant battlefields.
Had Braylen not been occupied with protecting Stephen, Colson wouldn’t have found himself in the role of picking up Aiden.
The arrival hall buzzed with anticipation as a group exited the airplane. The crowd’s focus turned to a particularly striking couple stepping through the terminal doors, their charismatic presence unmistakable.
“There’s Janice!”
“Oh my gosh, Aiden is with her too!”
“Ahhh! I’m so lucky to see them together! Can I start shipping them in real life?”
Their arrival sparked excitement, especially among fans of Love Lab, where Aiden and Janice’s on-screen romance had won many hearts. Though the show was currently on hiatus, it had been incredibly popular and was poised to be the year’s standout variety show.
