Chapter 45 A Big Storm Was Coming
Rita's heart was softened by Aaron's words.
Did he really love her so much? Had he been coveting her since she was only a child?
How cunning Aaron was!
She looked at the smiling girl in the photo in her hand. She handed the photo back to Aaron and said, "Cherish it."
"Of course." He put the photo carefully in his wallet. In the countless nights overseas, this photo had accompanied him for a long time. This girl was the most important person in his life.
He knew that he would certainly marry Rita.
"Well, let's go home." Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Aaron helped her fasten the seat belt. "Next time when you go to the library to study, I'll call the chief librarian and ask her to arrange it."
Mr. Aaron carried out things fiercely and resolutely.
Rita shrank her head and smiled bitterly. "Will you buy every place wherever I go in the future?"
"That's a good idea." He reached out to pat her head. "No man will dare to covet you anymore."
"I..."
Rita felt that she could not live like a normal person anymore. Aaron would buy every place she went. Did that mean she didn't even need to go out? Just stay at home from now on.
When Aaron was about to start the car to go home, his phone rang.
Looking at the number on the screen, Aaron squinted his eyes and answered the phone. "What?"
The voice over the phone was so loud that even it was not put on speaker, Rita could still hear the anger from the other end of the phone. "Aaron, are you mad or what? Nora was bullied, and you didn't help her at all. Instead, you helped the bitch! "
There was no doubt that Selena would deliver her blame.
"Riri is my wife. Is it right and proper for me to help her." Aaron said in a low voice, with his face harden.
"Nora is your cousin!" Rita could feel the anger on the other end of the phone. "Aaron Leng, you have been mesmerized by that little coquette, right? You become more and more undisciplined now! It's okay that you piss me off. Do you even forget your grandfather?"
When Selena mentioned his grandfather, Aaron become annoyed. "Don't pressure me with him."
"Nora is your uncle's beloved daughter. She was bullied. Your grandpa is in a fit of anger. Watch your tone!"
Without saying anything more, Selena hung up the phone.
Aaron put his phone aside and drove home as fast as he could.
In fact, Rita heard every word of the conversation between him and his mom.
Selena didn't like her mainly because she came from a poor family. Selena must hope her son to marry a girl from a well-matched family. Rita's background was too different with Aaron's.
"Where are we going now?" Rita felt her mouth dry. She asked, "Are we going home?"
"Yes, we're going home."
She really wanted to ask more, but didn't know how to say it. Should she pretend not to hear his conversation with his mother? Thinking for a while, she decided to play dumb.
The car stopped downstairs. Aaron turned around and looked at her. "Riri, you go home first. I have to go to see my Grandpa."
"Okay."
She didn't ask more. When she was about to get out of the car, Aaron grabbed her hand. "Don't worry. No matter what happens and what others think about, you're my wife, the only one in my heart."
"Are you afraid that I will feel bad?" Hearing what he said, she felt much better. "I'm fine. I won't think too much. You are here with me anyway. It is you who will be taking care of everything."
"I want to take you to see my grandfather, but I am afraid that the Su family would not be friendly to you for the sake of Nora. So this time I'll not take you there." He took Rita's hands and said softly, "Don't worry. Just go home first. I will handle all these things."
"Okay." She nodded. "I'll cook for you and wait for you."
"I have hired a servant, so you don't need to cook," he said with a smile. "You go back to have a rest. I will cook with you when I come back."
"No, I'll cook for you tonight," she murmured. "I'll go into the house. Come back early."
"Sure."
He didn't leave until he watched her enter the house.
The Su family was already in a mess. Aaron's grandfather, Lance, was angry and sent someone to take Rita over to "have a chat".
Aaron didn't know that his grandfather sent someone to pick up Rita. He went into the villa of the Su family alone. In the sitting room, Selena was sitting next to Nora, who was crying. Since she came back, Nora had been crying and fussing without stop at home for several days, causing a mess among the whole family.
When Aaron entered in the room, he sensed the strange atmosphere in the room. Lance, with gray hair and in Chinese tunic suit, was pushed out by a servant in his wheelchair. He looked up at Aaron with fierce eyes. "You come."
A big storm was coming!
