Chapter 286 Come Home With Me, Baby

• The evening sun cast a warm, golden glow over the small café where Aidan and Emily sat, their faces illuminated by the soft light filtering through the window. The quiet hum of conversation filled the air, but Aidan's focus was entirely on Emily, his expression serious yet gentle. He leaned forward slightly, his hands resting on the table between them, his eyes searching hers for a reaction.
• "I have something I need to tell you," Aidan began, his voice low but steady, as if each word was chosen carefully. He hesitated, as if weighing the impact of what he was about to say. "I only have a month left here in the UK."
• Emily’s heart skipped a beat, her breath catching in her throat. She had known this day would come, but hearing it out loud made it feel so much more real. She blinked, her fingers tightening around the warm mug in front of her. She said nothing, letting him continue.
