His Domineering Lover

Adrian suddenly hugged her from behind.

"You know her?" Aleigha came to her senses.

Adrian nodded. "It was a big deal back then. The Galloways and the Watsons put in a lot of effort to cover it up. "Aubrianna is fearless. She told the two families that the mistress was in a psychiatric hospital in the next city.

"But after all these years, no one dares to visit her. Do you know why?"

Aleigha shook her head.

"Because Aubrianna is ruthless. She did this to make the man who betrayed her regret. The Galloways wouldn't help that mistress.

"Although Jaidyn knows it, too, he dares not to go against his mother. It's not easy for his parents to get along with each other all these years."

"The servant told me what happened today. Don't worry, I'm gonna take care of it."

Aleigha frowned and said with displeasure, "I always feel there's something wrong with Mrs. Galloway, but I can't tell what it is." "Then just forget about it. No one knows what Aubrianna is thinking. She's a psycho. What she does has nothing to do with us."

"Let it go."

There was a light rain over the weekend. The air became fresh.

There was a pavilion in the courtyard. Adrian He built it himself on a whim a few years ago.

Before Aleigha moved in, he used to sit here by himself, sipping tea. He hadn't been doing this since she showed up.

At noon, Adrian brought Aleigha to the pavilion. He had the maid get them snacks and fruits, and then he started pouring her tea.

"I plan to go to Chicago next month."

He never got over his last blunder in Chicago.

He decided to go there again.

Aleigha was eating an apple. "I guess your Chicago office isn't really yours anymore.

"You have to be careful."

"I'll take Tanner with me. Thanks to him, I got out of Chicago safe and sound."Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Aleigha nodded slightly. His sudden disappearance had made her realize how much he meant to her. She couldn't afford to lose him.

She never stopped thinking about him in spite of her apparent calmness during the days of his disappearance.

"Sir, Mr. Faulkner is looking for you." The maid walked over and said in a low voice.

Hearing this, Adrian stopped what he was doing and a hint of doubt flashed across his eyes.

"It's Maurice." Aleigha reminded him softly.

The corners of Adrian's mouth curled into a faint smile.

"I'll be right back."

This was the first time that Maurice had personally visited thim. Even though Adrian didn't know him very well, he knew how ambitious he was.

The Faulkners had taken over Fripdence, and their next goal was City A.

Adrian greeted Maurice with a faint smile. He was never overly enthusiastic about outsiders.

If it were not Maurice, he wouldn't even smile.

"What's up, Mr. Faulkner?"

"I'm just passing by. Am I disturbing you?"

While Maurice spoke, he looked around.

"Of course not. I took a personal day and I was drinking tea in the backyard just now." "Drinking tea? I didn't expect you were a tea person. This really surprises me."

A smile flashed across Maurice's eyes.

"Well, yes."

Adrian sounded like he was talking

1 he didn't know very well.

After all, he was used to being cold

and aloof.

MS

The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive. Maurice turned the pinkie ring on his right pinkie.

"You wanna some tea?"

Adrian broke the silence of his own accord.

"Yeah. Why not?"

Aleigha didn't think Maurice was just here for tea. He must come for a reason.

The two big shots, who were

supposed to be working their feet et

off

è ground, were sitting together sipping tea.

Aleigha raised her eyebrow, and then continued to eat her apple. There was a book in her hand.

"Mr. Xiao, have you ever heard of the Watson family? It's not very famous."

Adrian's hand, which was holding the teacup, paused slightly when he heard this. He looked up at Maurice.

"Aubrianna, the youngest daughter of the Watson family, is Jaidyn's mother. Do you know that?"

Aleigha subconsciously put down the apple and the book, looking at Maurice with confusion. "If you want to say something, just say it."

Adrian put down the teacup and stared at Maurice.

"Aubrianna left before her wedding to Jeremiah Galloway, and she took a woman with her. "That woman gave birth to a boy, and Aubrianna threw the boy into the sea in front of her.

"She went crazy. Soon, Aubrianna gave birth to a boy, and that was Jaidyn.

"Do you know what happened to the baby who was thrown into the sea?"

A faint, ironic smile appeared on Maurice's handsome face.

"He was saved by a couple. They raised

en and he grew up to be aet

big shot. Later, they told him he

wasn't their child."

"Mr. Faulkner, we're not on TV."

Aleigha didn't buy it.

"Fine. That baby was indeed rescued by a couple, but they didn't raise him. They took him home and tortured him.

"He finally left the couple when he was four, because his real father took him away.

"You must be wondering why his real father is not Jeremiah, right?"

Aleigha nodded and subconsciously looked at Adrian.

"His mother is not Jeremiah's mistress. Jeremiah raped her and she thought the child was Jeremiah's.

"That was why she came to Jeremiah and Aubrianna thought she was Jermiah.

"You know what happened after that."

"You're that baby." Aleigha's eyes flashed with sadness. She had to say, she was moved.

Maurice looked at her. After a while, he nodded. "Yes. I didn't die at sea, but I suffered a lot."

The atmosphere suddenly became solemn, leigha felt as if something were in her throat and she couldn't breathe. "Sorry, I feel a little uncomfortable. Excuse me."

After rejecting Adrian's accompany, Aleigha left the pavilion in a hurry.

"She's pregnant, and the sad story made her a little uncomfortable. I hope you wouldn't mind it."

Looking at Aleigha's back, Adrian said in a low voice.
