His Domineering Lover

The gentle breeze of spring brushed past by like the caress of a maid as the galaxy twinkled brightly above.

When Adrian brought Aleigha back, the banquet was about to reach its climax.

Everyone had a very good time, so when Adrian and Aleigha appeared, there weren't many people paying attention to them.

Caroline and her mother were also in the crowd, still dressed in old clothes, sitting at the table and eating.

Caroline had her eyes drooped down, not saying a word while her mother kept nagging at her about something.

They ate a lot of food, and their mouths never stopped moving.

Aleigha became more and more curious about them, and her eyes almost never left them.

It was not until Caroline looked over that she smiled and nodded to them as a greeting.

When Caroline saw them, she put down her fork and got up to walk over.

Adrian's eyes were dark and cold, and his brows were tightly knitted together. He appeared to be very displeased.

Caroline walked straight over, causing the coldness in Adrian's eyes to grow even more fierce.

Before Caroline could approach, he had already said, "Did you forget about my last warning, or is it just that it doesn't matter to you now?"

"You think you are now sucking off blood from Darien and you can just come up to me like this?"

Adrian was an iceberg that everyone feared. Everyone in the Xiao family knew how could and ferocious he could be.

But because of Aleigha, he had strived so hard to restrain himself. Yet now he was infuriated again because of Caroline and her mother. Aleigha felt that something wasn't right with Adrian. The cold aura emanating from his body was filled with a thick sense of hostility.

The look he gave Caroline was so penetrating that it almost stung.

Caroline was so scared that she stopped in her walk. She was at a loss of what to do and her body was trembling slightly.

"Adrian, you..." When Caroline's mother saw the killing intent in Adrian's eyes, she swallowed the words that almost came out of her mouth. She didn't dare to offend him.

That warning was kept in her heart, and for nights, she would scream shrilly as she awoke from the nightmares.

"What's going on here?" The smiling tiger, Darien, appeared with a perfunctory fake smile that he was used to wearing.

He came over like a peacemaker and patted Caroline's shoulder as if he didn't know anything.

"Adrian, Caroline only wants to get close to you. You two used to be very close when you were young."

Darien held his wine cup. His face was a little flushed. It was likely that he had drank quite a lot.

"Adrian, I just, just want to apologize to you," Caroline said hurriedly when she saw someone trying to smooth things over.

Her apologetic attitude was written all over her face instead of the malice that used to be almost her tag.

"There's no need, the way I see it." Adrian was already giving them a lot of respect by still being there.

Caroline looked awkward as she looked at Adrian. In the end, she began to whimper.

"Whoa, what's with the tears? Your cousin has always been like this. Don't cry, you can tell me if there's anything you feel like venting out."

Aleigha got up and took the initiative to walk to Caroline's side. Adrian stretched out his hand to pull her.

However, she brushed it away lightly and looked back at him, blinking her eyes.

Only then did Adrian retract his hand.

"Thank you, Aleigha." Caroline suddenly broke into laughter and leaned into Aleigha's arms.

She looked so pitiful and adorable that even her mother was quite taken aback.

Aleigha pulled Caroline to the outside of the banquet hall. As soon as she went out, she moved away in disgust.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

"Cut your hypocritical act. Who knows what's going on inside that little head of yours?"

Aleigha smiled faintly. The silver moonlight, which was marvelously brilliant, would shy away from her unworldly beautiful smile. The smile on her face made her look like an innocent child. "And what should be going on inside my head, if you please?"

Caroline was slightly dumbfounded and immediately replied, "If that's not the case, why did you bring me out?" "Then why are you approaching Adrian? Don't tell me

you only want to apologize

"I won't buy it. And since I'm not buying it, neither will Adrian. So, you are a smart girl, don't do something that you might regret."

"There's nothing you can do to Adrian, not even the person behind you, pulling your strings. This is a warning as well as a piece of sincere advice from me to you."

Caroline glared at Aleigha viciously.

"Who do you think you are? The Xiao family's affairs have nothing to do with you." Caroline was not afraid of Aleigha's warning.

Her seemingly furious attitude didn't

make Aleigha flinch at all. She raised.

her eyebrows and said with a smile, "I, however, do like to get myself meddling with the Xiao family's affairs. You know what, I love to see it when you hate my guts but can't do anything to me."

"B*tch, I'll rip your mouth off." Caroline's mind was blank. She shouted and rushed over. Aleigha did not dodge at all. When Caroline came over to her, Aleigha took a few steps back.

Caroline missed but was about to hit her again when Adrian appeared out of nowhere.

He grabbed Caroline's hand and said coldly, "It seems that I'm really too kind to you." "Adrian, have you been drugged by this woman? Can't you see that she's a scourge?" "Did you hear what she just said to me?"

Adrian let go of Caroline's hand and picked up the corner of his clothes to wipe his hands in disgust. "Since when has it been your turn to be pointing fingers at me, telling me what to do?"

"Adrian."

"Alright, alright. We are family. There's no need to be so tits-for-tats. Let's go have a drink."

Darien walked over and took advantage of the situation to put his arms around Adrian. However, Adrian dodged and grabbed Aleigha's hand.

At the side of the swimming pool, Darien enthusiastically handed a glass of wine to Adrian.

Aleigha's gaze was casual as she stood to the side.

Where was Aubrie?

After thinking for a while, she said something to Adrian and went back to the room.

As soon as she entered the room, she quickly drew the curtains and turned on all the lights.

She checked every corner of the room carefully. Finally, she found something wrapped in a plastic bag under the basin in the bathroom.

She did not open it, but wiped her fingerprints with a handkerchief, and then wrapped it up and took it out.

Instead of hurrying back to the banquet hall, she went to the dressing room.

There were only two bodyguards and Aubrie's assistant in the dressing room. When Aleigha came in, there was panic in the assistant's eyes. "Miss Fulton is not here, I see," Aleigha seemed to be looking for Aubrie. When she saw the flash in her assistant's eyes, she understood. "Miss Fulton has gone out. Do you need me to help you find her?"

"Okay, then I'll wait for her here." Aleigha simply catered to the assistant's words and sat on the sofa.

As soon as the assistant left, the bodyguards also went out, leaving Aleigha alone in the room.

When the assistant came back, Aubrie also came in. Seeing Aleigha, Aubrie looked at her with interest. "You wanted to see me?"

"This is a gift for your engagement. I've been trying to find a chance to give it to you."

It was a necklace that she bought along the way when she was hanging out with Adrian.

It was not expensive, but it was rather exquisite. Aubrie looked at it and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

She hurriedly asked, "Did Adrian pick it personally?"
