NOVPUBChapter 1129: 516 Currently_1 Chapter 1129: 516 Currently_1 Matthew Aria, with his aim unfulfilled and an upset expression, shot Catherine Liam a cold glare, huffed and hurriedly left in his car, not caring to acknowledge his mother and daughter.
Catherine Liam was so angry that her eyes turned red.
It had truly been an awful night.
“Charlotte.” Stella White rushed towards her, carefully observing her expression.
“Charlotte, you’re the best in my heart, no one can compare to you.”
Charlotte Aria maintained her graceful smile, “Ninny, you don’t need to console me, I’m not that petty.”
Stella White laughed, “Charlotte, you’re the best.
It’s getting late, and I have to head home.
I’ll come see you when I have time.”
Charlotte Aria watched Peter Aria coming out and her eyes lit up, “Uncle Peter.”
Peter Aria paused, looked at her.
...
Charlotte Aria approached him: “Uncle Peter, let’s go home together.”
Peter Aria replied indifferently: “I have something else to do.
Let the driver take you home first.”
He left immediately after speaking.
Charlotte Aria watched Peter Aria’s retreating figure, nervously biting her lower lip.
Why did it feel like her family was gradually distancing themselves from her?
——
The late-night coffee shop was as tranquil as still water.
Peter Aria put away his umbrella, leaving it at the entrance, dusted off the cold dew from his body, and walked into the café.
In a quiet corner, a woman crossed her arms, her eyes fixed intently on the slowly approaching man.
He was the dream of all women in Lostswa, but also Charlotte Melody’s lifelong nightmare.
“I’m sorry, I’m late.” Peter Aria sat down across from her.
The woman just silently stared at him, as if trying to burn a hole in his face.
“Life’s been easy for you these past decades,” the woman sneered.
Peter Aria looked at her gently, “It’s been decades, but you’re still the same.”
“You dare talk about the past with me?
If it wasn’t for you, how could Charlotte Melody!” The woman choked on her words, her eyes filled with hatred.
Peter Aria’s gaze was pained, “It was my fault back then.”
“What’s the point in saying this now?
Can Charlotte Melody come back?”
“She will definitely come back,” Peter Aria said firmly.
Ellington Bartholomew was taken aback, “Where is she?” he asked eagerly.
Peter Aria replied coldly, “Please give me some more time, I will definitely find Fanny and our child.”
Ellington Bartholomew was shocked, “A child?
You and Charlotte Melody had a child?”
In Ellington Bartholomew’s mind, the face of Aubree Groove flashed.
Was such a coincidence possible in this world?
Ellington Bartholomew looked at the man before him.
Despite hating his ruthlessness, he couldn’t help but pity his deep affection.
No one was at fault back then.
It was all just a cruel twist of fate.
——
The rain was getting heavier, seeming to pour down with a vengeance.
A black sedan came to a sudden stop by the flower bed outside the Benefit University Family Home.
Kelly Martinez took a look at the time and her fingers unconsciously began to stroke the steering wheel.
Aubree Groove raised an eyebrow, “Are you nervous?”
Kelly Martinez rebutted instantaneously, “Are you joking?”
Aubree Groove just smiled in response.
Soon enough, a man with an umbrella came into view.
“Professor Gartia is back,” Aubree Groove reminded her.
Kelly Martinez stared at the figure of the man through the heavy rain.
Yet before she could get a clear view, the rain blurred the car window.
The windshield wipers swayed ceaselessly, much like her heart at that moment.
Not until the man completely disappeared into the compound, obscured by the night and the heavy rain, was he completely out of sight.
Kelly Martinez suddenly started up the car and drove away.
“Aren’t you going to settle the score with Professor Gartia?”
Kelly Martinez held her lips tight, not uttering a word.
Aubree Groove glanced at her, didn’t say any more.
Back at the Perchers Goods Company, Aubree Groove finished her evening routine and prepared to end the day.
When it was time for bed, Kelly Martinez slipped under Aubree Groove’s covers with a pillow, immediately snuggling up to Aubree Groove.
“So soft and fragrant.”
Aubree Groove was rendered speechless by her seemingly coquettish behavior and unconsciously moved an inch to the side, but Kelly Martinez snuggled right back up.
“You’re shunning me.” she spoke in a discontented tone.
“Let’s go to sleep,” Aubree Groove turned off the table lamp, and the room plunged into darkness.
The rain and wind outside underscored the lonely silence of the night.
Kelly Martinez clung tightly to Aubree Groove, buried her head in the blanket, and spoke in a muffled voice, “I’m scared.”
In the darkness, Aubree Groove’s eyes were wide open, “I’m here with you.”
“You once promised to stay with me forever, but you broke it.
Will you break it this time too?”
Aubree Groove remained silent.
“I’m sorry.”
“You’ve never had to apologize to anyone.
Don’t say these words lightly.”
She said, “If someone in this world could hold onto you, I would be grateful to them.”
