FULL NOVELXO Chapter 57
Chapter 57 He Regrets It
His face immediately darkened.
Get Pre
The old man had been rude to him from the moment they met. When he asked about Cierra's recent situation, he threw a tantrum and bluntly asked him to divorce him as soon as possible. Only a fool could tel that he was mocking
him!
However, there were indeed people who couldn't tell.
To the side, Aleah smiled. She couldn't wait to get a divorce. She didn't want to waste any more time!
Moreover, she also felt that she was a good match for him. She was the one who was going to marry him from the
very beginning.
If it weren't for her parents, she wouldn't have met Draven.
She stepped forward shyly and said, "Thank you for your compliment, sir. I hope you can forgive me for offending you before. I sincerely apologize to you here. If you have time in the future, you can attend my wedding with Draven."
He squinted at her. He probably didn't know if she was really stupid or pretending. He rolled his eyes. "Okay, let's go there when we're free. Good luck to you two!"
Before he could finish his sentence, he strode away with a cold face, exuding a chill that kept strangers away from
him.
Aleah had wanted to say a few polite words to Freddy, but when he saw this, he could only follow her.
She glanced at Freddy apologetically. "I'm sorry, sir. I have to go. I'm really sorry about the incident last time. I'll bring something to apologize to you next time. I hope I can taste your cooking again." As soon as she finished speaking, she caught up with him, who had already walked out of the restaurant.
Freddy touched his chin and said, "This woman is really stupid..."
He didn't think much about it. He smacked his lips, clicked his tongue, and hummed a song with his hands clasped
behind his back as he walked to the kitchen.
Hey, he was in a good mood.
However, in comparison, Draven's emotions was terrible.
They didn't say a word or look back on the way out.
After coming out, Aleah realized that he was in a bad mood. When he was about to reach the car, he dared to say, "Draven, are you angry?"
She was so careful that any man's heart would soften at the sight of her pitiful and innocent face.
Unfortunately, he didn't even look at it.
He opened the door and said in a cold voice, "Get in the car."
Of course, Aleah was unwilling to get in the car.
No matter how stupid she was, she knew that there was something wrong with his mood. It was very likely that it was
because of Cierra.
In the past three years, she had been pretending to be cool.
Others would think that she was Mrs. Trevino. Only she knew how difficult it was for her!
Just as she had said in the restaurant, except for the fact that she had sent Cierra abroad, he had never crossed the line.
And almost every time they met, she would come to him. He would never take the initiative, nor would he have any emotions because of her. He would not be happy because of her, nor would he be angry because of her. Although he would agree to her request, she only felt that this man seemed to be completing one task after another.
In the past, she had only thought that this man's personality had come about because of the family. However, when she saw the emotions in his eyes when he asked about Cierra's situation abroad, she realized that he was not completely emotionless.
Otherwise, how could she have taken the risk to make Cierra completely disappear from the world and never come back?
At first, she felt guilty and stained her hands with blood. After all, even though he had promised to marry her, she had still blocked the way and taken things too far.
But now it seemed that what she had done was right!
It was a pity that Cierra did not die abroad!
Suppressing the resentment in her heart, she clenched her fists and stepped forward to stand in front of him, staring at him with red eyes.
"Draven, tell me honestly, are you unwilling to marry me? If you like my sister, I won't force you to divorce her. I'm still young, and it's not impossible to find another one. But you have to tell me that you can't drag me on forever."
He frowned and didn't answer immediately.
The first thing that came to her mind was whether he liked Cierra or not.
But he denied the answer without thinking about it carefully.)
How could he possibly like her? If he liked her, why would he have resisted his grandfather's rejection of this marriage?
He naturally didn't like the woman who was forced to stay by his side.
The poor girl in front of him, who had been lost since she was a child but still maintained kind and secretly gave him a cake after being punished by his grandfather, should be the one he liked. He told himself.
He looked at Aleah's tearing eyes and said in a gentle voice, "What are you talking about? When did I say that I don't want to marry you?"
When Aleah heard the voice, she knew that she was halfway to success. She lowered his head, feeling even more helpless.
"You didn't say anything, but that's what you did. Just now, the chef said he wished us well and asked you to divorce my sister as soon as possible. You were not happy. Since you don't want to divorce my sister, you have to tell me. You don't even know what people outside are saying about me now."
At the end of her words, her voice was choked with sobs.
His brows furrowed even more tightly.
He should have reassured Johnson at this time and told her that they would divorce as soon as possible. But when he thought of the scene last night, he felt depressed.
If he divorced, wouldn't she be more presumptuously in a couple with other men? Not only would they hug each other, but they would also hold hands, kiss, and even....
He didn't want to think about it anymore.
"I know about my divorce with Cierra. Anyway, I won't break my promise to you."
He loosened his tie, looked away, and walked to the driver's seat. "Get in the car first."
Aleah didn't expect him to say that.
She grabbed his sleeve and said, "Draven, I don't believe you unless you go through the divorce formalities with me
now!"
Unfortunately, she didn't get his pity this time.
He furrowed his brows and withdrew his hand. His tone was quite patient.
"Aleah, I know it's not good for you to delay it now, but your sister is also in a bad situation now. She has no parents. If I divorce her now, who knows if she will find someone to marry. Grandpa asked me to marry her because he wanted me to take care of her. After all, I grew up with her, and I can't leave her alone. Do you understand?"
After a pause, he added, "Besides, I was wrong to send her abroad..."
He regretted it.
This was Aleah's first reaction.
She didn't dare to push him too hard, so she could only nod weakly. "I see. I'll talk about us when I'm done here. I'm
sorry, I was too hasty..."
Seeing this, he tried to comfort her. "It's not your fault. I didn't handle it well. Get in the car first."
Aleah sat in the back seat obediently.
Draven also got in the car. He glanced out of the corner of his eye and remembered that Cierra had scolded him in the restaurant. He thought for a moment and picked up the phone in the car.
