Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

Chapter 1097

On the other hand, after Aaron had been in the small, dark space for a few days, the door to the closed room was finally opened.

His body sat up straight for a few moments, but when he saw the visitor, a flash of emotion rose in his eyes, and quickly dimmed.

Assistant Darnell stood there, "Is Mr. Johnson here to see Master of Riverside."

Aaron snorted, "And yes, he didn't give a damn about me."

What's more, he doesn't need to do it himself.

Assistant Darnell said, "Mr. Johnson, we're ready to go."

"Where to?"

"Go where you need to go."

Aaron did not say anything else, anyway, he came to Riverside City this trip, and did not return alive.

At this point, he doesn't regret it.

The only regret, probably, is not being able to say sorry to Elaine in person.

Even if she doesn't forgive him.

The car drove all the way to the dock, and a ship was parked next to it.

Aaron frowned, "What do you mean?"

"Master of Riverside says that Mr. Johnson can go anywhere in this world, but the only thing he can't do is appear in front of Miss James. That's all he asks of you."

"He's not going to kill me?"

Assistant Darnell said, "Master of Riverside says that one often has to live to remember one's mistakes and pain."

Aaron's lips pursed up, Darnell is really more ruthless than he thought.

For Aaron now, death is his relief, as a way to atone for his sins, and perhaps in exchange for Elaine's forgiveness.

But Darnell didn't give him that chance.

It turns out that the phrase, more painful than seeing the person you love most die in front of you, is knowing that she is still alive, somewhere in this world, but spending a lifetime unable to find her, eventually stamped on himself.

There is clearly an apology not said, clearly in the near distance, but has been separated by the mountains and seas that can not cross.

There is no more chance.

......

After Aaron left, Darnell got the call, "Master of Riverside, he's gone."

Darnell gave a "hmm".

"Do you still need to send someone to follow him?"

"No need."

Aaron is not bad by nature, and if he were more ruthless, he would not be using Elaine to threaten him.

During the two years he stayed by Elaine's side, he had many opportunities to make a move on her.

"Master of Riverside, what about Ariel's side?"

Sitting in the car, Darnell spoke lightly, "Let Slade work it out."

"Yes."

Hang up the phone, Darnell looked out the window, the sky has been dark, and the dessert store entrance, there have been customers come and go.

Through the glass, you can faintly see Elaine's busy figure.

She would sneak out her tongue and take a short break when the guests weren't looking, and even if she was tired again, she always had a bright smile on her face.

Darnell looked at her quietly and the corners of his lips curled.

By eight or nine o'clock in the evening, the store finally had fewer customers.

Elaine and Natasha were packing up when the wind chime rang at the front of the store and Elaine said, "Sorry, we're closed for the day, we'll be back tomorrow ......"

She looked back as she spoke, but said with surprise and surprise, "Daddy!"

Natasha heard her voice and jerked her head around as well, "Uncle Franklin?"

Franklin stood there, nodded at the two of them, took another glance around, and then said to them, "Why didn't you invite someone, aren't you two tired?"

Elaine put down what she was holding and moved her wrist: "It's not ready yet, and I didn't expect business to be so good today, mainly because ...... I'm running low on start-up funds."

Said Elaine, her eyes shining, "Dad, why don't you invest a little in me?"

When he saw her hand in front of him, Franklin said, "Why don't you ask Darnell for it?"

Elaine bristled: "It's not the same, I'm afraid that if I lose money, I won't have any money to pay him back."

"I don't have to pay back my money, do I?"

"Then of course not." Elaine took his arm and pouted, "How can Daddy be the same as him." This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Franklin said, "It's different, you're only willing to screw me, not him."

But in the end, she is her own daughter, Franklin knows in her heart that Elaine has been pampered since she was a child, and she does not need to do anything by herself.

Elaine spat out her tongue, then pulled Franklin to sit next to her: "Dad, you sit down for a while, I'll go make you dessert to eat."

"No, it's so late, go home and rest."

"It's used, Dad you haven't eaten my cooking yet, it'll be ready soon."

Natasha nodded in agreement: "Uncle Franklin, Elaine's cooking is delicious, try it."

Franklin coughed, "I'll try it then."

Elaine nodded happily and ran into the back kitchen.

Not long after, she came out with a dinner plate and put several desserts in front of Franklin, looking at him with an expectant face, "Daddy, try it."

Franklin took a spoon and was about to eat when the wind chime at the door rang again.

Archer and Darnell walked in back and forth.

Seeing Darnell, Franklin grunted softly to prevent Elaine from elbowing her way out again and pulling the tray in front of her.

Elaine didn't notice the small gesture next to her, but asked Archer with intent, "Cousin, what brings you here."

Archer did not change his face: "You at least call me a cousin, you open this kind of thing, I can not come."

Elaine made a face at him and immediately hid behind Darnell.

Archer didn't bother with her, but looked at Natasha: "I'm going to the lab later, I'll drop you off on the way back."

Natasha raised a smile, "Yeah."

Elaine tugged on Darnell's sleeve, her face full of gossip.

Darnell inclined his head to look at her, and his dark eyes had more than a little doting: "Home."

For some time after that, the dessert store business was good, although Natasha came to help her every day, but can not stand only the two of them.

So Elaine thought deeply about it and went to her dad to pull the investment and hired two more people.

In this way, she basically only needs to do the dessert, other things do not care, and Natasha is also a lot easier, sitting at the front cashier can be.

Two months later, the weather gradually turned colder.

When Elaine arrived at the store, she received a letter, and the girl she had invited said, "Elaine, this was left at the door when it opened this morning."

Elaine answered, sat down in her chair, and opened the letter.

Inside the letter, however, there are only two words of apology, no signature.

Even so, Elaine knew who had sent it.

She turned the paper in her hand over, and in front of it was a picture of the snotty little pig she once gave to Aaron, which looked even more naive when viewed through the photo.

Elaine looked at it for a moment and laughed silently.
