Unveiling the Genius Behind the Divorcee

Chapter 270 Why Bother

Time flew by, and Abby's vacation was over in the blink of an eye, and when John came to help with packing, Abby couldn't help but shed tears.

"What's wrong?"

John's dislike for this little girl had turned into distress instead.

As for Abby, she didn't say anything but silently wiped her tears.

She was a hundred times happier during her time with Aylin than when she was at her own home, and Aylin gave her the warmth of familial affection that she had never had before.

John then found Aylin. "Ms. Koch, Ms. Abby looked a little sad."

Hearing that, Aylin stopped what she was currently doing and came to Abby's room, and Abby threw herself in her arms when she saw Aylin, hugging her. "Aylin..."

Aylin then stroked her head. "Good girl."

After that, Abby raised her head. Her pretty face was stained with tears as she sobbed. "I don't want to leave you. Why does school have to start so early?"

It turned out that Abby was reluctant to part with her.

"Abby, do you remember what I told you before?"

Aylin squatted down and looked her in the eye before continuing, "You must arm yourself with knowledge if you want to leave the home you hate, do you understand? And studying is the most important thing for you now! You can come over to play when there's a holiday, and we'll welcome you."

Hearing that, Abby nodded and wiped her tears. "I-I'll miss you too when I'm in school, but I won't be able to see you when I get back."

The butler then handed over a brand new phone from behind him at the right time, and the design of the phone casing was Abby's favorite pink kitten.

With that, Aylin put the phone in the little girl's hand. "This is a farewell gift from me, and the password to open the phone is your birthday. Contact me with it, and let me know if anyone bullies you. I'll make sure to beat them up for you!"

Abby finally burst into tears and smiled as she took the new phone as if she had gained a treasure.

After getting along for so long, the cute and quirky little girl also brought a lot of joy and distress to Aylin.

After that, Abby specially instructed her subordinates to personally escort the little one away.

"Be careful on the road, and call me if you need anything. Study hard."

Hearing that, Abby poked her head out and shouted, "Goodbye, Aylin! We'll meet during my next holiday. You have to miss me!"

At this moment, she didn't know that this almost became their last farewell.

In the CEO's office of the Delacruz Group, Gavyn kept massaging his temples. with his hands, but the headache still didn't ease, and the pain rushed to his temples.

He didn't sleep well last night and dreamed intermittently all night long. Not only that, but Aylin was the star of the dream as well.

He tried hard not to think about it, but when he closed his eyes, his mind was full of the image of how Aylin was smiling beautifully and brightly at another man, but toward himself, she was distant and cold. Gavyn's phone rang again, and it was Steve. With that, Gavyn pressed his temples while he answered the call.

"Grandpa."

"How is it? What kind of gift did you get Aylin? Did she like it?" Steve's voice, which was full of expectation, came from the other end.

Gavyn could only be silent, not knowing how to answer.

Gavyn couldn't tell Steve that he saw some other man giving Aylin the same gift he was about to give her when he went to her house, and Steve was still nagging.

"Don't worry. Aylin must be happy. She just didn't show it. You need to take your time to coax a woman and don't put on airs this time. When you have the chance, ask her out for dinner and take her for a walk. You both need to get along more so that you both can bond. Do you understand?"

However, it wasn't that Gavyn didn't want to get along with Aylin. It was the other way around instead.

Gavyn's headache intensified at the thought of how differently she treated the Koch family compared to him. "I got it. Don't worry."

The old man then said a few more words before hanging up the phone with satisfaction.

Gavyn's bad mood was now made worse by the phone call, and he repeatedly remembered the embarrassment of being stopped outside the door when he tried to give her the gift.

He also didn't have enough sleep and was dizzy, and he even had to force himself to review the new project for this quarter.

After the third cup of coffee, Lloyd hesitated for a moment with the cup in his hand.

"Mr. Delacruz, you've drank too much coffee today..."

After all, it contained caffeine. How can he drink it like it's water?

"Just put it down." Gavyn frowned slightly and focused on the report in front of him, and Lloyd could only sigh softly.

Gavyn didn't look well, and it was obvious that he didn't have a good sleep. He must have encountered something unpleasant when he went to the Koch's home yesterday, and it made him upset.

As a close subordinate, it was a lie to say that Lloyd didn't feel distressed. Gavyn was usually vigorous and resolute, but this was the first time that he had seen Gavyn so sad and distressed. Lloyd opened his mouth and was planning to comfort him.

Why force it since things already happened? You didn't feel fated when you were together, and now you're trying so hard to get her back after the divorce. Why bother?

However, Lloyd didn't dare to speak a word.

Until he got off work, Lloyd was still worried that Gavyn would tire himself out working overtime and was wondering if he should persuade Gavyn to leave as well, but he then saw Gavyn leaving the office on time.

I think he's going back home to rest, right?

Unbeknownst to him, Gavyn had gone to a bar instead of going home, and this time, he didn't even call Waylon.

After drinking the alcohol one glass after another, Gavyn started to feel a slight burning sensation in his throat, but he didn't care. He was drinking the alcohol as if it was water.

The dance floor was just below, where the crowd gathered and mingled with each other. It was supposed to be a good atmosphere to drink, but Gavyn only felt noisy.

Drinking too much was bad for health, but he wasn't an addict.

Get Boo

However, at this time, he needed the alcohol to numb his nerves and thoughts because he was afraid that if he was sober, he would look for that figure in his mind, and he couldn't help it. Gavyn's phone vibrated a while later, causing him to frown as he glanced at it.

"Gavyn, how have you been lately? I miss you a lot. Can I invite you to have dinner together on my birthday next week? I didn't dare to bother you lately, and it was my fault last time. I shouldn't have said that, and I won't do it again. Please, can you give me a chance to see you, Gavyn? You won't be so cruel as to never see me again, right?"

The woman was pleading, but in fact, it was moral coercion, and the grief in her voice was clearly evident.

Gavyn immediately turned off his phone.

Birthdays again!

That word directly pulled Gavyn back into the vortex with Aylin as he slammed his fist on the table, trying to relieve his inner irritability with the pain.

However, it was of no use, so Gavyn could only drink to calm his nerves.

With his outstanding aura, Gavyn stood out in the noisy environment. He was drinking at this moment, and his jawline looked exquisite when he raised the glass to down the drink. That eyes of his were as dark as night, and the masculinity he was oozing was enough to attract many admirers.

At this time, a woman in a red dress was then seen walking over slowly as she said in a gentle voice, "Sir, why are you drinking alone here?"

However, the passersby that passed by exclaimed in a low voice, "I-Isn't that Samantha Burne?"

"It is! I think it's her. I love her songs so much, especially the one where she won second on the Gold Record."

Samantha calmly accepted their gazes, tucked her hair behind her ear, and winked at them as a tacit admission of her identity.

Unexpectedly, the two passers-by were introverts. They had mixed emotions. and dared not approach her when they saw the beautiful woman winking at them, so they ran away screaming. Samantha just shook her head and laughed. "These fans are really..."

After that, she glanced sideways, but the man was still indifferent.

To be precise, Gavyn hadn't even spar her a glance ever since she came over, and none of the men she liked had ever been this indifferent before in the past:

However, Samantha's interest was even more piqued by that as she sat down on the couch with her skirt tucked into her lap, looking graceful.

Seeing that Gavyn had almost finished his drink, she took the empty glass and filled it for him.

"So you like Brandy? This is brewed for at least three years based on the color.

It seems that you can drink a lot."

After saying that, the woman gently passed the glass back and continued, "But you can't just rely on alcohol when you have troubles. Why don't you tell me your problems." Only then did Gavyn look at the woman.

Gavyn was annoyed since he was disturbed, but the moment her face came into view, he was stunned
