“Huh?”

To Lloyd’s surprise, Gavyn still refused to admit it at this point.

He glanced at the embroidery beauty portrait on the back seat and asked with confusion, “Mr. Delacruz, I remember you don’t like zardozi either. Are you buying this zardozi piece to give to Ms. Koch?

And you never used to take pictures of useless things that take up space, did you?”

Lloyd believes his logic is flawless!

To their surprise, they were met with a cold glare from Gavyn. “You think you know me so well? I bought it for a purpose, not as a gift for someone!”

Lloyd’s eyebrows twitched, and he suddenly felt at a loss for words.

This zardozi embroidery surprisingly wasn’t meant for Aylin

Can’t you just win the beauty’s favor and give her a gift to make up for angering her like this?

Considering her personality, if she really likes that zardozi embroidery, she will definitely remember this favor and find a way to repay it in the future.

In this way, going back and forth, wouldn’t it create opportunities to spend time together?

I really can’t stand Gavyn’s slow-wittedness and his inability to recognize his own feelings. He always seems to be a beat behind, which makes the people around him constantly on edge, fearing that one

day he’ll lash out in anger due to some romantic setback.

The bitterness in Lloyd’s heart!

How is it that Gavyn is so decisive in managing the company, but when it comes to emotions, he’s a complete blockhead?

Gavyn didn’t know what Lloyd was thinking and remained silent all the way home.

In the vast mansion of the Delacruz family, Gavyn dismissed the surrounding serv ants who were

cleaning, as well as Adam, who wanted to come over and ask questions.

Upon entering the study alone, a familiar scent greeted me.

Refreshing, with a subtle hint of bitterness from the herbs.

That was a sachet handcrafted by Aylin herself. Last time he found it in the bedroom, he was worried he might not be able to locate it again when he had a headache. So, he decided to hang the sachet on the pen holder in his study.

This way, it’s easy to find and always visible.

Gavyn sat down at the table, taking a deep breath, attempting to calm his restless thoughts with the soothing scent of plants and flowers.

However, it might have been brought up by Lloyd.

Despite his efforts, Aylin’s image uncontrollably surfaced in his mind again.

Aylin had also visited the study before, but not very often. Over the past three years, every time Aylin came to the study, Gavyn never gave her a warm welcome.

On one occasion, Gavyn brought his company’s work home to deal with. At that time, he had just taken over the company and was faced with a mountain of mess, making the beginning extremely

challenging.

Adam was so busy and stressed that he couldn’t even find time to eat dinner. Every time he tried to persuade him to take a break, he was chased away.

Aylin, feeling anxious and concerned, personally went to the kitchen to prepare a nourishing and stomach-warming fish stew. Carefully, she knocked on Gavyn’s door.

“What are you here for?” Gavyn raised his eyes from a pile of paperwork, frowning and sounding

displeased.

Upon seeing Gavyn’s weary face, Aylin couldn’t help but feel a pang of sympathy. She placed the steaming stew on an empty corner of the table and opened the lid, releasing its fragrant aroma. “I heard from Alfred that you haven’t had time to eat, lost your appetite, and don’t like greasy food. So, I made you a light and refreshing fish stew,” she said.

Fish stew is refreshing and nutritious, making it easy to enjoy.

Aylin had thought of everything.

At that time, Gavyn had nothing but impatience for her, resenting her forced marriage, and his gaze towards Aylin was full of scrutiny.

Dressed in a plain long skirt, her hair tied in a gentle and simple low ponytail, there was not a single eye-catching feature about her. She appeared delicate and pitiable, seemingly fragile and harmless.

But it was this woman who had Steve completely captivated, insisting that she must be his daughter-in- law. Could she really be such an innocent person?

“Don’t bother trying to flatter me with your fake sincerity, I’m not buying it,” Gavyn said, slamming his pen down and waving dismissively. “Get out, and don’t dirty my study.”

Aylin was at a loss. Although she had just come out of the kitchen, she had thought about Gavyn’s love for cleanliness. She had deliberately washed her hair and body to ensure there was not a trace

of cooking fumes before daring to knock on the door of the study.

Unexpectedly, despite making every possible preparation, I still couldn’t avoid Gavyn’s scolding.

The disgust and indifference in his eyes deeply hurt Aylin. She wanted to say something more, but Gavyn interrupted her.

“Take your stew with you and get out, don’t make me say it twice.”

Aylin was frightened by his pale face, “But if you don’t eat, your stomach will starve, and your stomach is already not in good condition-”

“Don’t forget how you married into this family. It’s best if you don’t show your face around me too much. No matter how much you try to please me, I’ll never like you. Now, leave!”

Gavyn, with an indifferent expression, stood up and walked around the table. He then pushed Aylin

out of the door.

Even the fish stew she had painstakingly prepared was left outside the door.

At this moment, these scenes and words were like a inovie, lingering in Gavyn’s mind and

impossible to dispel.

He suddenly found himself curious about the taste of that fish stew.

But now it’s impossible.

Aylin wouldn’t even give him a glance, let alone cook for him personally. The deep love and tender affection she once had for him had now turned into cold indifference.

He couldn’t forget the way Aylin looked at him with her cold eyes, her red lips slightly parted, emotionlessly telling him that they were just strangers.

The word stranger felt like a heavy stone, weighing down on his chest, making it difficult for him to

breathe.

Even the mere thought of those eyes, which were once filled with love and affection for him, turning cold and indifferent in the future, inexplicably filled his heart with unease.

Aylin’s visits to study were few and far between.

–

Gavyn couldn’t help but feel her presence everywhere he went her smiles and frowns, her gentle. words and soft whispers. Everything about her made him feel frustrated and resentful, as if his heart was being tightly gripped by a large hand, suffocating him.

The question he wanted to ask didn’t receive a definite answer. He leaned back slightly and reached

up to rub his brow.

Next time, I must get to the bottom of it! Gavyn thought.

At night, the lights were dazzling, with crystal chandeliers hanging brightly overhead, casting at

colorful and radiant glow.

The light made Aylin’s face even more fair, and after attending an entire banquet, her makeup remained exquisite and gorgeous due to her good skin. Her hair was slightly tousled by the wind, which only added to her casual and languid charm.

The female housekeeper noticed something was off with her walking posture and hurried over, intending to help her take off her stiletto. However, Robert, who had just entered the room, quickly stepped in to assist her instead.

“Allow me.”

In the spotlight of the arena, the man everyone was watching bent down to take off Aylin’s shoes at

this very moment.

“Robert, you could have just asked the housekeeper to handle this, why-”

“Your feet must be uncomfortable walking in those heels, take them off and rest a bit earlier.” Robert had already bent down, gently holding Aylin’s fair foot, tenderly removing her shoe for her. His movements were so delicate, as if he were handling a rare piece of art.

Immediately, he carried her to the sofa and asked, “I noticed you’ve been upset all the way here, are you still angry?”

Aylin thought of Gavyn’s unreasonable behavior and felt a headache coming on. Rubbing her ankle, she sighed, “Gavyn must have lost his mind today.”

Robert looked at her faintly and said, “There’s only one Gavyn, isn’t there more to it?”

Aylin paused, “How did you…”

She was afraid that Robert would worry, so she didn’t reveal the unpleasant experience she had at the dinner party. However, to her surprise, Robert still found out about it.

“How am I supposed to know?”

Robert fastened the shoelace around Aylin’s fair ankle, squinting as he looked up at her. “With all the commotion, I was bound to hear something. But you didn’t even tell me that you were being

bullied.”

His eyes held a hint of condemnation.

Aylin pursed her lips and whispered, “I can handle this on my own, you know.”

“That’s different,” Robert sald seriously. “You have me to back you up. Have you ever thought about the consequences of getting into a fight…”
