Loving A STRANGER 121 Chapter 121: I Care About The Baby

Khloe impatiently raised a smile on her face and waved good-bye to him. When Ken was finally gone, she spat heavily, "s.h.i.+t! What a loser!" Khloe then poured out two gla.s.ses of wine and took out a small package from her pocket. In one of the gla.s.s, she poured a white powder and mixed it carefully, setting it aside. Khloe then called Aiden, "Babe, I'm at Royal Private Club, and I don't feel so well. Can you come to pick me up?"

Everyone thought Ken was stupid, and he loved to play that character as well. He'd rather have people underestimate him than know the real him. He did not like working with Khloe, but she paid pretty well for wanting him to do small tasks. Ken walked over to the lobby and sat down, directly within sight of Khloe's room.

Ordering a gla.s.s of beer, he fixed his eyes upon the door. He knew Khloe would not be in there alone for long and would probably meet someone. Ken wanted to scope out who she would be meeting, and there was a chance that he could get more money out of her. The ten thousand she had given him would not even last him a month!

Aiden arrived after half an hour looking like he'd rather be anywhere else than here.

"Honey, Aiden." Khloe pulled his hand, walked him over to the sofa and sat down, leaning into his body. "Aiden? What happened? You don't seem, okay?"

Aiden shrugged his shoulders in response; he was less and less patient with Khloe, but she was still carrying his baby after all.

Khloe continued, "Is it because you don't have a job recently? You know that's just a phase; people will forget everything soon, and you'll go back to being the best male actor in the industry."

Aiden scoffed and looked away, the fact not escaping that it was because of Khloe in the first place that he had no job right now!

Khloe lowered her head and pouted, "Aiden…you can tell me if anything else has happened. Please don't keep it to yourself. You're making me worried, and that's not good for the baby. Don't you care about your child?" Khloe asked with fake concern in her voice.

"Nonsense! I care about the baby, which is why I'm here in the first place." Aiden scoffed and looked away. "If any other woman was carrying my baby, I would probably ask her to abort it!"

"What!? There is another woman?" Khloe cried out completely, ignoring the fact Aiden could ask her to abort the baby.

Aiden sighed and grabbed Khloe in a hug. He was so stupid; he should not have said that! However, Khloe's whining had been getting on his nerves lately.

Khloe sobbed into Aiden's shoulder, "I swear Aiden if you have another woman, I'm going to die. I'll kill myself!" 

Aiden sighed, "Don't worry. There is no other woman. I'm already suffering…no, satisfied with you." Aiden smiled slightly at what he was just about to say while wiping off Khloe's tears.

Aiden had been having a tough time in the company and had absolutely no time to relax. On top of that, Khloe and his baby had been an added stress, which he certainly could have done without. Of course, he was a decent human being, so he was not going to abandon his unborn child no matter how annoying Khloe was.

Luckily, Khloe stopped crying and looked up at Aiden.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to cry…but you know the baby is just…" Khloe laughed and patted her flat stomach. "Here," Khloe handed Aiden a gla.s.s of water, the same gla.s.s that she had poured the powder into. 

Aiden took the gla.s.s of water; however, a knocking came from the door when he was about to drink it. Khloe, thinking it was the waiter, yelled out, "Come in."

Ken White walked in with a red face, seeming quite drunk. He stumbled inside the room and looked at Aiden threateningly. 

"Khloe, Is this my brother-in-law?"

Khloe stood up and rushed over to Ken, trying to push him out the door, "Ken, what the f.u.c.k are you doing? Get out!"

 "Why?" Ken's eyes were red, and his pupils were enlarged. He escaped Khloe's hands and staggered towards where Aiden was sitting. "Nice to meet you, my brother-in-law. My name's Ken White."

Aiden looked at Ken with cold eyes. Without responding to Aiden, he growled to Khloe, "Khloe, who's this?"

"Aiden…um…he…" Khloe stuttered out. She did not want to humiliate herself before Aiden, but she could not get away with not knowing Ken since he had already blabbed out her name.

"He…he's Kylie's cousin," Khloe replied confidently, hoping Aiden would not detect the lie from her voice.

Khloe could tell from his face that Aiden hated Ken. Killing two birds with one stone, Khloe thought. Maybe Aiden would hate Kylie the same way. After all, birds of a feather flock together, right?

"Oh, really? You're Kylie's cousin?"

Khloe did a double-take when she heard Aiden ask Ken. He had seemed to lose his cold expression and detected a hint of warmth in his tone.

"Well, since you're here and you're our friend's cousin, why don't you join us for a drink, eh?" 

Khloe was speechless, absolutely speechless. Was G.o.d playing with her?

"You're a nice guy, I like you," Ken slurred out and then turned to Khloe. "Hey, I like this guy." Ken then walked over to sit beside Aiden, where Khloe had been previously sitting. Aiden handed him a beer, and both clinked their gla.s.ses and drank. 

Khloe just stood by the door and watched in awe; was this actually happening? Was the loser, Ken White, actually having a drink with her boyfriend?

"Khloe, what's your cousin's favorite food? Why don't you order some?" Aiden chimed. He gave the menu to Khloe and picked up a gla.s.s of water from the table.
