His Domineering Lover

With a faint smile, Aleigha held Jaidyn's arm and clenched her other hand into a fist.

"Yeah, I haven't seen Windy for several years. Who would know I would never be able to ever again?"

Mrs. Fulton did not shed a tear, but looked a little depressed and sad.

Aleigha didn't know what kind of person Mrs. Fulton was. She only knew that her family had a strong background.

It was said that she was a meek person and there was nothing more that could be told from her appearance.

She certainly was acting all gently, especially when compared to Mrs. Hammond, and the sorrow lying deep down in her eyes didn't seem fake.

"Forget it, let's put all this grief behind us. And this gentleman, you must be?"

Mrs. Hammond didn't quite know Jaidyn since he was quite a mysterious figure.

Except for the people in City A, he was almost a hermit to others.

"A friend of mine and Adrian's, Jaidyn Galloway." At those words, a smile instantly crept onto Mrs. Hammond's face. "Oh, you're Miss Gardner's friend." "How come Adrian is not here with you two?"

"He's been caught up with something." Aleigha tried to brush it off and the smile on her face became even more charming.

After the two of them left, her eyes cooled down and resumed the chilling light in them again.

Why would Mrs. Fulton suddenly be in City A? Did she hear something out of the ordinary? Aleigha's heart was filled with doubts.

"Mrs. Fulton's family focuses on exporting and they've got their people at the City A port."

"And Mrs. Fulton has a son who had a crush on Valentino's daughter."

"Her daughter is also now in City A. The two families are soon to be tied together by marriage."

"I see. So Mrs. Fulton is here to check on Valentino's daughter."

"And she's also here to inspect on her own family business, right?"

Jaidyn nodded. "I've heard all of this from Adrian's side. They are trying to keep all this on the down low so it took him a lot of efforts to find these out." The banquet began.

Mrs. Hammond gave a grand introduction to Mrs. Fulton, and all the guests were secretly discussing the purpose of this madam's coming to City A. However, the discussion soon died down.

When Valentino's only daughter, Lauren, came out, next to her was a tall and handsome man.

They seemed to be of the same age, and when they walked out together, they really seemed a heaven-made perfect match.

Holding the arms of the man beside her, Lauren's every expression showed her excellent temperament.

Seeing that they have made their entrance, Mrs. Hammond couldn't wait for a second to introduce them.

Sure enough, the man named Isaias was Alexander's son.

Then, of course, the news that the two of them were about to get engaged was announced. Aleigha was not interested in it at all.

She found an excuse to get out of the hall.

The villa of the Hammond family was rather large. Aleigha went to the bathroom. As soon as she came out, she ran into a familiar embrace. And he quickly pulled her into an empty room.

Before she could open her mouth, her lips were already covered up by a warm feeling.

After a while, she heard a soft chuckle. "Did you miss me? I was very angry to see you come in with Jaidyn."

With a blushing face full of shyness, Aleigha looked up at the man.

"Where have you been these days? What are you hiding from me?"

Adrian laughed softly and couldn't help but caress the smooth skin under her mink coat draped over her shoulders.

"I had to, otherwise, no one's gonna buy it. My little thing, I'll be going now. Wait for the good show to be staged soon." "Go ahead, be careful."

Adrian reluctantly left. After he left for a while, Aleigha came out of the room.

When she returned to the banquet hall, Jaidyn was already being cornered by a few women quite old.

He kept coping with the question being bombarded at him.

Aleigha stepped forward slowly, but Mrs. Hammond suddenly grabbed her arm and looked left and right.

It seemed that she had something private to tell

her.

"Miss Gardner, have you heard of the news in the past few days?"

Aleigha's face was blank and she shook her head.

Seeing this, Mrs. Hammond's brows knitted as though she were rather agitated.

"Miss Gardner, I'm afraid, well,

Adrian is trying to pass on some

horns for you to wear, so to speak

And by now the whole City A knows about it, about how he's been cheating on you with Mrs. Fulton's daughter."

"What!" Aleigha put on a look of incredulity. She covered her mouth and her eyes were filled with disbelief.

The flash of a smile in Mrs. Hammond's eyes still didn't escape her eyes. But she knew she needed to try a bit harder so that Mrs. Hammond would be convinced totally. Just like that, she started to curse him in a low voice. "No wonder, no wonder."

"Now I finally know why he's been absent for the past few days! And to think it is with Mrs. Fulton's daughter..."

"Do you think he's merely bullying and taking this on me just because I have no family left? What do you think I should do, Mrs. Hammond?"

"I'm just in my early 20s and now I'm caught up with a piece of despicable junk... How, just how am I supposed to face my future life?"Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Mrs. Hammond hastily comforted her, "In my opinion, if it happened once, it will happen twice."

"And it will only be to bring you more sorrow. Now that you are young, might as well just get a divorce."

"And you don't have a child with him, do you? And I'm sure a good and decent girl like you will surely find someone else worthy."

"Even though that's the case, I still have feelings for Adrian." Aleigha's tears flowed down.

She made it so real that one might actually believe her husband was cheating on her and she was devastated.

"And just how much do you presume your feelings are worth to him, my child?"

"For what are you still holding onto this false hope for, ah? That he will turn back around? The only thing he'd do is to come back home to tell you to pack up, my silly girl

Aleigha was at a loss. Fortunately, Jaidyn walked over and his eyes instantly turned cold when he saw this.

"Aleigha, why are you crying?"

Aleigha wiped her tears in haste. "I'm fine, I'm fine. You've seen the news recently. Is it Adrian?"

The corner of Jaidyn's lips twitched awkwardly as he savored the show being staged in front of him.

"I don't know, maybe."

"Is it him or not!" Aleigha roared in a low voice.

"Yes, it's him!" Jaidyn lightly caressed his forehead, looking very awkward.

Mrs. Hammond, standing aside, could almost not hold back the snigger jumping up on her face.

All of a sudden, there was a burst of exclamation in the hall. Mrs. Hammond looked in the direction of the sound and frowned. "Miss Gardner, think about it carefully. I'll go take a look."

As soon as she left, the fragility in Aleigha's eyes disappeared instantly. "How thoughtful of her to remind me of that, eh?"

On the other side, Mrs. Fulton rebuked her daughter in a low voice. "Are you out of your mind? Who is the man beside you?"

When Mrs. Hammond came over,

she was also stunned when she saw

the person standing next to the daughter of the Fulton family. She

blurted out, "Who is this 61.19

Hammond, you are finally here. Talk some sense into my mother, will you? You introduced him to me, right?"

"How come my mom knows nothing at all?"

When Jazlynn came, Mrs. Hammond was really ready to introduce her to a boyfriend, but she ordered someone to arrange Adrian.

"How, how did this person end up here?"

"Mrs. Hammond? This is the person you've introduced to my daughter? Is this Adrian?"

For a moment, Mrs. Hammond felt like she was caught in a tornado as well, head spun. Jazlynn should be here with Adrian. "This is my bodyguard, what the hell is he doing here anyway?"
