“Are you feeling better?” Brayden asked the man in the hospital bed as a matter of routine.
“Much better.” Aston didn’t look at him and replied softly, without a trace of warmth in his tone. He didn’t volunteer! Aston knew in his heart.
“Aston, I apologize for Dolly.” With that, Brayden bowed directly to her.
What was his apology? Aston turned his face away and looked at the man in front of him in amazement and anger.
Yeah, he’s always cared about Dolly, hasn’t he?
“I don’t want to see you, so go away.” Aston said bitingly.
If he hadn’t brought up Dolly, she would have been happy to carry on with Brayden for the rest of the conversation!
“That video, I’ve seen it, Dolly did have some impulse at the time, I hope you can forgive her …” Brayden’s tone had a hint of pleading in it.
Forgive her? How can that be! Aston sneered, his eyes revealing a wave of disdain.
Yes, Brayden still doesn’t know that the video is not the truth of the matter.
“Get Dolly to apologize to me!” Aston shouted fiercely, a murderous aura in his eyes.
In fact, she was hospitalized this time, there is indeed a reason for Dolly, but after all, it is just a drama that Aston himself put himself in.
Yes, the night Dolly and Jayden and Amara left the cabin, Aston had been in the cabin and kept tangling with the big man, and then accidentally, her head hit the wall directly next to her, which has now such a play.
And it was not her intention to wrongly accuse Dolly of hurting herself, because she didn’t even think that so many accidents would happen. It’s all being controlled by one person …
“Aston, when you’re better …”
“I don’t want it!” Suddenly, Aston interrupted Brayden directly before he could finish his sentence and yelled coldly.
Looking at such an excited face of the person in front of him, Brayden immediately stopped his next words.
“Brayden, tell me, what do you really love about Dolly?” Aston asked with great reluctance.
Brayden half-squinted, looking out the window at the dark sky, caught up in the memory.
All that she is, he loves. Her laughing, her crying, her silliness, her innocence, her simplicity, her kindness …
Inadvertently, Brayden’s mouth curved in a satisfying arc at the corners.
There are just some days when he thinks of people like Jayden and Stanley, he gets a little angry. That’s right, it’s a jealous type of anger.
“Love, there’s no reason for it.” Brayden spoke, muttering faintly.
Aston, in the hospital bed, looked at the window with a cold glint in his eyes.
“Well, since you’re okay, I’ll leave now.” With that, Brayden was about to leave.
“Where are you going?” Aston immediately grabbed his arm and asked cautiously.
“Go back to your country.” He answered with a firmness that did not allow anyone to have the slightest doubt.
Before coming here, he told Dolly he was going on a business trip just in case, and now that Aston is now well and recovering quickly, he has nothing to worry about.
He just didn’t know when exactly Dolly would confess to herself. He sighed, his expression a little sad.
“Brayden, is it really possible for the two of us at all?” Aston asked, weeping.
“Aston, we can be good friends, we can be partners, but we can’t be lovers, and we can’t be husband and wife …” Brayden said with a seriousness that left Aston in front of him speechless.
She had thought that through some accident to plant the blame on Dolly, Brayden would die for Dolly, and then into her own arms, but now it seems that things are not as simple as she thought!
“Get well, and I can take care of things at home for you first.” Brayden’s tone was flat, without a hint of ups and downs.
“Don’t you blame me?” Aston asked cautiously, staring at him with a deadly stare.
Brayden grimaced. It was Vincent he should be blaming!
“I know you’re being used to do these things too.”
I don’t know why, looking at Brayden in front of her, Aston’s heart was actually somewhat moved. But her hatred for Dolly, but how can not let go.
“Aston, I would advise you to stay away from Vincent, he is a very dangerous man.” Brayden said firmly, with a stern expression.
This is something that Aston has come to appreciate.
“I know.” Aston looked away and stopped looking at him.
“Don’t do anything stupid again, take care of yourself, and as for what happened between you and Dolly, I hope it can be resolved in a peaceful way.”
After so many years, Brayden is already tired of the “fight” in the business, now he just hope that the people around him will not be hurt.
Looking at Brayden’s distant back, Aston lowered his head and gritted his teeth with a lurid gaze.
Her love for Brayden will never change, just as her hatred for Dolly will never go away.
But working with Vincent, is it really a good thing? Aston suddenly hesitated.
After so long, she has gotten to know Vincent a little better and naturally has the idea of wanting to quit.
Vincent does things coldly and ruthlessly, and even goes to great lengths to achieve his goals, which Aston cannot stand.
If it was in the business world, she and Vincent could be really good partners, but in life, forget it.
Aston looked up at the ceiling above him and froze a little.
“Ding ding ding …”
On the table next to her, the phone rang. Looking at the caller ID, she immediately picked up the phone.
“When are you going home? Have you had enough of this?”
On the phone, the old man’s voice was stern.
“What’s up? Looking for me for something?” Aston asked, lifting his chin proudly.
“Well, looking for you something …” the old man said unhurriedly over the phone.
“What do you mean? A blind date? No way! I’m not going!” With that, Aston was about to hang up the phone.
“It’s not a blind date, it’s just everyone meeting up and having a meal together, you have to be there!”
The bottom line of the old man is not to be challenged by anyone.
“Dad, I don’t want to go see them …,” Aston muttered, with a very unhappy look.
“I know you don’t like them, but the minimum social gathering, you must come to attend!” With that, the old man hung up the phone directly.
What the hell, Aston looked at the phone in his hand unhappily, with a sadness in his eyes.
In the past few years, her father has been looking for a suitable husband for her, but none of them could meet her eyes, until she met Brayden by accident.
