Chapter 1243
Looking at the invitation, Aleigha was lost in thought.
She didn't even notice that Adrian had come back.
As he approached her and took the invitation card from her hand, a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes.
"It's the Landry family again."
"The Reid family fell apart, and the Landry family made an alliance with Darien. So why did Lennon invite you to his engagement?
"You think this is just an engagement party? Why do I feel that this is a trap?"
Adrian's eyes softened. He picked Aleigha up from the sofa and sat down.
This position was extremely ambiguous.
Aleigha blushed slightly, but she didn't feel unhappy at all. She only reached out and pinched his waist.
"You naughty girl." Adrian affectionately poked the tip of her nose.
"I know what the Landry family wants. Darien didn't get anything out of them after he lost the last war.
"Maybe this invitation has something to do with Darien.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
"Should I go or not?"
Aleigha raised her eyebrow and looked at him with interest, "Are you afraid? Come on, you're Adrian! The Landry family and Darien means nothing to you, right?" "Hahaha, is that a compliment?"
He pinched Aleigha's waist and looked at her with a playful look, his eyes flashed with excitement.
Aleigha trembled slightly. She knew the look was dangerous. She hurriedly said, "Yes, but..."
"There's no 'but'. Sweetie, I want you."
The atmosphere became ambiguous in an instant. Aleigha forced a smile and decided to run away.
But Adrian saw it and hugged her tightly. He laughed and said, "Are you scared? Relax, I won't do anything now.
"I'll save it for our wedding night."
Upon hearing that, Aleigha felt shy and helpless. She let him carry her into the bathroom.
On Sunday, Adrian came home from work in a hurry with a dress.
It was Adrian's favorite style. When Aleigha put it on, she thought it couldn't fit any better.
"You wanna go?" Aleigha stood in front of the mirror with a confident smile on her face.
Adrian nodded. He stood up and hugged her from behind. There was a hint of affection in his voice. "Yes. It's a courtesy."
"I don't want people to think I'm a cold fish."
"Well, but you are a cold fish." Aleigha thought. She did not dare to say it out loud.
The two of them headed for the Landry Residence.
Such a party was common for the upper-classes.
The rich seemed to be keen to prove their nobleness by holding parties.
Lennon's engagement was a big thing. There was gonna be a lot of people coming here.
When Adrian and Aleigha arrived, Lennon and his fiancee were standing outside the door to welcome the guests.
Adrian and Aleigha walked to them hand in hand. They looked like a lovely couple. Adrian was hot, tall and straight. The way he carried himself was a sign of his inherent dignity.
Although Aleigha was a bit thin, she had the air of a lady. Tonight, she was wearing a pure white fishtail dress.
She looked sexy and charming. Her young face made her stand out in the crowd,
She didn't wear as much makeup as the other women, but she looked decent.
The two of them attracted the attention of countless people. Lennon had seen them, too.
A touch of loss flashed across his eyes, but he soon came to his senses.
His fiancee was of noble birth. Marring her was helping his family.
His family were very satisfied with his fiancee. However, no one had ever asked him if he liked her.
"Congratulations, Lennon." Aleigha
felt somewhat estranged from
Lennon because of the relationship between the Landry family and Darien.
But she would never forget how he had helped her before.
She thought the best thing she could do now was to treat him just like a friend.
Adrian nodded as a greeting.
Lennon remained calm. His fiancee, on the other hand, was stunned when she saw Adrian.
It turned out that the legend of City A was even more impressive in person.
Ignoring the woman's surprised
gaze, Adrian stretched out his hand
and wrapped it around Aleigha's
waist. He said in an extremely gentle
tone, "Let's go in. It's cold."
Was it true that such a gentle word came from such a high-minded and arrogant man?
The whole house exuded festivity.
Many people stopped to greet Adrian, though Adrian didn't know most of them.
The point was, no one paid attention to Aleigha.
Aleigha was a bit annoyed. She swore to herself that she wouldn't be Adrian's accessory forever.
She wanted to have her own economic empire.
"Unhappy? Don't care about them. No matter what you want to do, I will support you.
"You know what? I don't think you're worse than me. You're the smartest and prettiest."
The unhappiness disappeared in an instant. Aleigha was wondering if Adrian was a magician.
A few simple words from him would make her overjoyed.
When she looked up at him, she met his eyes. After they looked at each other for a long time, she looked away.
"Adrian." As soon as Adrian came here, Aubrie had been watching him.
It drove her crazy to see him so close to Aleigha.
How she wished the woman standing beside him was her! However, he never cared about her.
Adrian's gentle gaze instantly turned icy cold when he heard that.
"Uh-huh," he answered without looking at her.
Aleigha gave a faint smile and greeted Aubrie warmly. "Nice to meet you, Miss Fulton."
Aubrie looked extremely awkward. She wanted to ignore Aleigha, but it didn't square with her modesty.
She forced a smile and said to Aleigha. "Hello, Miss Gardner."
The atmosphere was tense. Darien walked up and took Aubrie into his arms. "Miss Gardner is getting more beautiful."
A cold glint appeared in Adrian's
eyes as he looked at Darien. Thenet
didn't
ak to each other, but
eyes were both hostile.
"Mr. Xiao, you are really sweet." There was always a bright smile on Aleigha's face.
People who didn't know her would think that she was just an innocent girl favored by Adrian.
