His Domineering Lover

The lights on the street were lit.

Aleigha left Adrian's company. Although Adrian forgot himself every time, the problem about dividends was solved smoothly.

Aleigha walked alone on the street. The new year was around the corner, and it was cold. Her coat didn't protect her from the coldness completely.

The downtown was bustling with activity. When Aleigha passed a bar, several men walked out of it. One of them looked familiar, but Aleigha could not remember him at the first moment.

These men, a little drunk, staggered and joked. When walking past them, Aleigha couldn't help look at the man again.

"Mr. Reid, oh God! You should have a one-night stand with that Miss Gardner!"

"Well, well, no one knows if you don't tell!"

The man seemed to take all these as compliments. He smiled complacently, "What do you know? I didn't expect that she was a virgin and came to me on her own initiative. Even with Joseph's coat, I couldn't resist her seduction and enthusiasm."

The other men looked envious and laughed wantonly.

Aleigha suddenly became clear-minded about this familiarity of this strange man. That man was a Reid, which made things interesting.

Aleigha left quickly and went back to the Gardner's by taxi.

On the way home, she googled for the Reid family on her phone, and its history was fascinating.

The Reid family was not powerful in this city and became weaker in the past years. The Reid family had a bad reputation. After Donovan died, his legacy was inherited by his two sons. His daughter, together with her influential husband's family, emigrated abroad long ago.

These two Reids were capable but loose. They left the Reid blood outside casually.

In addition to Kendal, there had been a Nolan who lived in the Reid family too, but she was dead now. The Mr. Reid Aleigha just came across should be a bastard of Kendal's father. Although he couldn't live in the Reid family, his father regarded him as important and gave him a lot of money because he was a boy.

However, this illegitimate child, a stranger to father's love, had always been a rascal. He disappeared after messing up with Emilia. Now, rumors had it that Emilia was not a Gardner, so he turned out of the blue again. Without the support of the Gardner family, Emilia was nothing to him, so he dared to brag about his affairs with her now.

Aleigha got excited on this finding, and a brilliant idea popped up in her mind.

Natasha's parents in the south called Aleigha for the coming sacrificial ceremony. The things were still there, but men were no more the same ones. Aleigha took a leave and went to the south.

The climate in the south was humid. It was colder in winter there than in the north. According to the social usage here, this sacrificial ceremony was important, and it was the last time to say farewell to the deceased. Aleigha arrived at the Taylor family.

It was not until now that Aleigha found the Taylor family was influential in the south.

The Taylor family had real estates all over the country, and Lorenzo owned a company. His affluence and influence were beyond Aleigha's expectations. Lots of people came to pay their last respect to Natasha and Aleigha stayed with Natasha's parents.

All of a sudden, Aleigha spotted a familiar figure. She rubbed her eyes for double confirmation.

"Why are you here?" There came a low and magnetic voice, which gave Aleigha goosebumps. Looking back, Aleigha saw a pair of peaceful eyes.

She knew only one acquaintance who owned such peaceful eyes, and that was a cousin of Freddie. Aleigha was a little surprised to see him here. "You, why are you here?"

The man's gazes passed Aleigha and fixated at Natasha's portrait, "She was a little sister next door, and I come to say goodbye."

'How sentient and righteous he is!' Aleigha thought. Although she didn't like this man, he didn't seem like a bad guy.

"Jaidyn, thanks for coming. I know you are busy. It's a pity that Natasha can never see you again."

Natasha's mother raised up her head suddenly and looked at the man who was talking to Aleigha. Tears kept dropping down from her face. "Auntie, please restrain your grief."

Aleigha, beside Natasha's mother, felt dejected at this scene.

No one talked in the car.

It seemed that both Aleigha and her acquaintance got used to this silence, and no one had the intention to break the silence.

At the gate of the hotel, Aleigha got off the car, while Freddie's cousin gave his car key to a doorman.

Aleigha looked at him with confusion.

"I booked here too."

They went upstairs. Aleigha thought, "Could it be that we are on the same floor?"

When the elevator stopped, they went out one after the other.

However, she lived in the western section, and he in the eastern one.

"Well, thank you. By the way, what is your name?"

The man looked at her emotionlessly, "Jaidyn Galloway."

"Oh, nice to meet you. Good night!"

Early the next morning, Aleigha took an early flight back to City A.

Arriving at the Gardner family, she saw

Only if she had know beforehand what would happen today.

Emilia felt embarrassed, but Aleigha was calm.

"I saw that man."

Emilia was stunned. She forgot to chew the food in her mouth but didn't know what Aleigha was talking about.

"Your baby's father."

Emilia glared at Aleigha instantly.

Aleigha put on a smiley face and said nothing. The sarcasm in her eyes said everything.

"It's you. What happened that night is your trick, isn't it?"

Emilia finally understood that Aleigha was behind those sufferings.

"It is useless to know the truth now, don't you think so?"

Aleigha didn't care how Emilia would take it, as she would find out soon.
