“I’ve never seen her before. Could her sudden appearance mean that she’s the Lewis family’s future daughter-in-law?” This speculation shocked everyone even more. “No way!” “You say that, but when have you ever seen a woman with Aiden before?” Everyone shook their heads, and they were all eager to see how things would unfold. “This is no small matter.” Unaware of the whispers, Amy simply stayed by Aiden’s side. As time passed, her ankles started to feel uncomfortable due to the high heels she was not accustomed to wearing. Noticing Amy’s discomfort, Aiden leaned in and whispered, “Are you alright?” He had been observing all her subtle movements. Taken aback, Amy replied, “I rarely wear high heels, so they’re a bit uncomfortable.” Hearing this, Aiden looked around thoughtfully and said, “Let’s rest over there for a while.” Amy looked at the nearby resting area and nodded. “Alright.” Just as Aiden was about to accompany her, a man called out to him. “Mr. Lewis! L
“She snuck in. Get her out of here now,” Jenny said coldly. A security guard approached her and turned to Amy once he understood the situation. “Miss, could you please show us your invitation to confirm your identity? We want to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings.” Amy was momentarily stunned and a little embarrassed. She truly did not have an invitation, as she had entered with Aiden and never received one. Seeing that Amy could not produce an invitation, Jenny felt even more triumphant. She raised an eyebrow in satisfaction and folded her arms. “See. I told you that she’s just crashing the banquet! “Hurry up and kick her out! What are you waiting for?!” The security guard felt obligated to act and said, “I’m sorry, Miss. Since you don’t have an invitation, I must ask you to leave.” Jenny sneered disdainfully. “You should leave quickly. I don’t know how you had the audacity to come in here. If I were you, I’d find a hole to crawl into. How embarrassing!” At that mom
“Thanks for earlier,” Amy said to Aiden. He responded with a faint smile, and he was somewhat apologetic. “I should be the one apologizing. After all, the incident happened because of me. I brought you here and didn’t take good care of you. In the end, such an embarrassing situation happened.” Amy shook her head. “It’s not your fault.” Jenny was targeting her specifically and just trying to embarrass her. Regardless of whom she came with, Jenny would have acted the same way. Suddenly, Aiden seemed to remember something and asked, “How are your feet?” “They’re much better now,” Amy replied. Aiden nodded. “Just wait a little longer for me. The banquet’s almost over.” Amy was not in a hurry, so she nodded. She continued to keep him company and engage with others. Just then, Cassie approached them. Holding a champagne flute, she was about to greet Aiden when she noticed Amy by his side. She froze and tightened her grip on the glass. She wondered why Amy was there. I
Cassie watched from a distance as Amy and Aiden interacted. She furrowed her brows in confusion. What exactly was Aiden’s relationship with that woman? Why did their interaction seem so intimate? After a few drinks, Amy’s cheeks were noticeably flushed. She seldom drank, and the sudden intake of alcohol clearly affected her. Seeing her condition, Aiden became concerned. “Alright. No more drinking for now. Take a break.” Amy nodded gently. “Okay.” She then rubbed her forehead and said, “I’ll go to the restroom for a moment.” As she left, Aiden watched her departing figure with increasing worry. … In the restroom, Amy splashed some cold water on her face. It helped to clear her head significantly. She was about to leave after she composed herself, but she ran into Cassie. “What a coincidence, Amy!” Cassie approached her with an enthusiastic smile. Amy nodded and greeted her. “You and Aiden seem quite close. What exactly is your relationship? You’re not dating, a
Aiden felt a weight on his shoulder and realized for the first time that someone was leaning against him. He turned and saw Amy asleep. He hesitated to push her away at first. In the end, he chose not to move her when he saw the peaceful look on her face. … Half an hour later, the car stopped, and Nolan’s voice broke the silence. “Mr. Lewis, we’ve arrived.” “Miss Green, you’re home.” Aiden softly called out to her and tried to wake her. “Miss Green, wake up.” Amy furrowed her brows and groaned softly as she talked in her sleep. “Star, stop it. Let me sleep a bit more.” Seeing her in such a state, Aiden felt troubled. He looked out the window and back at her. Then, he decided to carry her in his arms. As Nolan stepped out of the car, he was taken aback by the scene. He gulped, as he had never seen Aiden be so intimate with anyone. He could not believe that Aiden had actually taken the initiative to carry her. Aiden soon arrived at Amy’s home, and he knocked on the do
When Cassie got out of bed, her mother noticed her dark circles and frowned in concern. “Cassie, what happened? You didn’t sleep all night?” Cassie sat on the couch with a troubled expression and replied, “Mom, I don’t feel like talking about it.” Seeing how agitated she was, her mother approached her. “What’s wrong?” Cassie had always been a good child who rarely caused her parents any worry. Therefore, her mother was particularly concerned to see her in such a state. “Mom, Aiden’s been seeing another woman.” Cassie recounted last night’s events to her mother in dismay. After listening, her mother was not particularly impressed. “From what you’ve told me, this woman isn’t from a notable family. She seems to be an ordinary woman without any significant status or power.” Holding her head high, Cassie’s mother continued, “I’ve always told you that you should spend more time with Mrs. Lewis. For families like theirs, marriage is about matching social status. Not just anyon
Aiden was busy at work in his office when he received a notification on his phone. He opened it to see a picture from Amy, along with a smiling emoji. He smiled, and his gaze softened as he saw her message. He set aside his work and quickly replied. [Miss Green, thank you for your hard work.] Amy responded almost immediately. [It’s no trouble at all. I’m just doing my duty. [By the way, try not to overwork yourself. Remember to balance work and rest. Given your current health, you should get at least eight hours of rest each day.] Seeing how relentlessly Aiden worked, Amy could not help but give him a reminder. Aiden chuckled lightly. [Don’t worry, Miss Green. I understand.] Ever since Amy started treating him, he had felt a significant improvement in his health. He was much better than before. He believed that with continued care, he might genuinely have a chance to fully recover. Before Amy, he dared not consider such a possibility. However, it seemed that miracles co
Amy reassured Mrs. Harper, “If I do end up meeting the right person, I’ll marry him.” Mrs. Harper nodded in relief at this promise. “Alright. That puts my mind at ease.” Later, Amy picked her children up from kindergarten. On their way home, the children excitedly shared their adventures for the day. Then, they mentioned something important, “Mommy, there’s going to be a parent-teacher conference at our kindergarten in a few days. They’ve asked everyone to bring both their parents.” At the mention of the parent-teacher conference, Amy nodded in acknowledgment. “Okay. I’ll definitely be there.” Star blinked her large eyes and was full of eagerness, “What about Daddy? Will he come too?” This question stunned Amy for a moment. Both children looked at her with hopeful eyes and made it impossible for her to ignore their longing for a father figure. She gently said, “Night, Star, you both know that our family’s a bit different. Even if it’s just me attending, I’m sure it’ll be
