His Domineering Lover

Adrian was straightforward and cut to the point, but Aleigha could tell that he was drunk, 'He is already drunk at noon?' 'Does he forget the ceremony tonight?'

"Where?" Aleigha sat up, and the drowsiness already left her. She felt it senseless to lose her temper before a drunk.

"No. 6 of Sunset Street," Then, Adrian hung up the phone without hesitation.

Aleigha got changed and put on simple make-up. Before leaving the room, she saw the gift box where the cheongsam was.

After pondering a moment, she decided to take the box with her.

She was afraid that Lainey and Emilia would do something bad to her cheongsam during her absence.

She asked the chauffeur to drive her to Sunset Street. Then, she got off the car and walked to No.6 with the box, and the chauffeur drove home.

Only then did Aleigha realize that this was a coffee shop.

Upon her entrance, she saw Adrian sitting by the

window.

Adrian must drink a lot, as his face was a little red. Now, he was staring outside of the window absent-mindedly.

Aleigha walked up to him and sat opposite him.

"Tonight, I'll cancel the engagement with the Gardner family. Aleigha, marry me."

Then, Adrian pushed an exquisite jewelry box on the table to Aleigha.

Looking at the jewelry box, Aleigha did not reach out her hand.

Out of question, she knew what was inside, a ring. "Adrian, I am not your good match." Aleigha felt complex. If this happened in her life, Aliegha should have shed tears of happiness now. How much the love was, and how eager the expectation was.

But now, there was nothing else she could feel but helpless.

"Why don't you accept it? Who said so? In my eyes, no woman in the world is a better match for me than you."

I don't want anyone except you."

Aleigha pursed her lips and looked at him silently.

Adrian looked directly at her eyeballs, but there were no emotions in her eyes, "Aleigha, what's your reason?"

"I don't mind you past."

"I am OK with your family background. What's your reason to refuse me?"

Reason?

Aleigha thought for a moment. 'Perhaps it is you, Adrian.'

She couldn't forget the way Adrian looked at her in her last life, including disgust, detestation, and mockery.

She remembered every emotion in his eyes.

Now Adrian changed, which confused Aleigha. She once thought Adrian loved Aubrie only.

His chase after Aleigha herself was out of his pride.

"No reason. I am still too young to think about marriage yet."

"Later, maybe, but not now."

Aleigha found an excuse, that was not good but very practical.

"Keep that thing. I can wait until you grow up and promise me." This was the first time Adrian made a compromise.

He couldn't be tough in front of the woman he

loved.

"It is valuable. When you regret it, should I send it back to you?"

"So, no, you take it away."

Aleigha had a clear estimation of herself, and it was possible that Adrian would regret it.

"Just take it. I won't regret it, and this has never happened to me, hasn't it?"

Aleigha shifted glances at him and then at the jewelry box. She still felt it wrong to keep the ring.

Aleigha remained unmoved, and Adrian took out the ring from the box, grabbed Aleigha's hand, and put the ring onto her finger.

This move was domineering, which was Adrian's style.

Aleigha was stunned by the rudeness of Adrian. Then, she stared at the big diamond on the ring.

It was too dazzling, and Aleigha began to feel things unreal.

She couldn't help imagine that Adrian broke off the engagement and announced her to his fiancee tonight.

What would Emilia do?

Would Emilia faint from anger? Or make a big fuss?

"What's in the box beside you?" Adrian noticed the box in her hand from the moment Aleigha entered the shop.

This question took Aleigha by surprise, and she smiled awkwardly, "A girl's thing. Why do you ask?"

Adrian and Aleigha spent the

afternoon in this coffee shop. Then,

Adrian eft first to prepare for the ceremony tonight and persuade his family.

Aleigha also headed for the Gardner family with her cheongsam.

Aleigha already got on a taxi when her phone rang.

"Where

Mareyou, Aleigha? Ellis is ill,

w what to do by myself ont

Laura was so anxious that she cried.

"What happened? Where are you?"

"In the villa, help me." Laura cried sadly, but the phone was hung up right then.

Aleigha felt something wrong with

this call. If there was an emergency,

Laura Should call Marcos first, so it

seemed unreasonable that she

asked for Aleigha's help.

However, Aleigha left down her guard because Laura mentioned the location was the villa, not the

Gardner family.

Laura was choked with tears in the villa, and Lainey was indifferent, "All you have to do is to get Aleigha to stay here."

"I will leave your family intact after Adrian breaks off the engagement successfully."

"Madam, I know." Laura was full of guilt or betraying Aleigha, who was good to her.

Lainey felt satisfied with Luara. She looked at the child beside her with an abnormally ruddy face.

Then, she left contentedly.

When Aleigha arrived, Lainey already left.

When the door was pushed open, Laura threw herself into Aleigha's arms.

"Aleigha, the kid was allergic. It's all my fault that I fed him the milk powder not good for him."

Aleigha went to check the child with suspicion. It was true that there were quite a few rashes on the child's body.

The child had an abnormal redness on the face and breathed heavily.

"Waist no time. Send him to the hospital now."

Aleigha urged Laura to do so. Then she found a bracelet in the corner of the sofa.

Her expression turned cold instantly.

Aleigha looked at the busy Laura coldly but didn't want to expose the trick now.

She called a taxi and send Ellis to the hospital.

The doctor confirmed Aleigha that the child was allergic.

When Aleigha had time to sit down again, it was already 8 pm.

The ceremony started at 7:30 pm, so Aleigha was already late.

Looking at the child in a sound sleep, Laura took Aleigha's hand and knelt down suddenly, "Aleigha, please go to the ceremony now."

"Just go there, even it is late."

"Lainey hates you so much. She threatened me with my family to buy time."

"If you are late, and the Xiao family cancel the engagement, you will have nothing left."

Aleigha exhaled a heavy sigh and pulled out her hand, "Laura, I know. I figured out the trick as soon as I entered the villa."

"I was afraid that you would remain silent forever."

"Now everything is fine. It doesn't matter that I am late. Don't hesitate to tell my father about the threat you received."

"He will help you. As for me, don't worry. Lainey can't defeat me."

"Aleigha, go now. Don't let them succeed."Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

While they were talking, Aleigha received a call from the Gardner family.

Aleigha picked it up and then hung it up after exchanging a few words.

When Aleigha left the hospital, it was almost 9 pm. Aleigha called a taxi and went to the nearest shopping mall that was still open.
