Chapter 1216
The car ran on the bumpy road.
Aleigha huddled up in the passenger seat, exhausted and tired.
"Adrian, I, I just want to..." Kendal tried to defend herself.
She had confidence that Adrian would forgive her for whatever she did to Aleigha today because they grew up together.
In her memory, Adrian was good to her.
In silence, Adrian glanced at Aleigha from time to time.
Kendal felt nervous as Adrian would remain silent when in rage.
Kendal did not dare to speak again. She sat in the car quietly and restlessly.
The car stopped at a toll station. Adrian got off the car and pulled open the car door.
"Get out of the car."
Kendal got out of the car slowly after her heart skipped a beat.
Aleigha had no change in her pose nor expression for whatever Adrian did.
The moment Kendal got off the car, Adrian got on the car and drove away.
"Adrian, you can't leave me here. Adrian, you can't do this to me!"
Kendal yelled at the top of her voice to the leaving car.
The pains on her body was nothing compared to the sorrows in her heart.
"Aleigha, let me send you to the hospital first," Adrian asked in a gentle voice after the car entered the city.
"No hospital, thanks. I'm fine. I need a rest right now."
Now, Aleigha was sleepy, tired, and hungry. She did not want to go anywhere except for food and some sleep. Adrian took her home directly.
Aleigha was too tired to argue or resist, so she followed Adrian's lead submissively.
In the bedroom, Adrian put Aleigha on the bed. Then, he turned to the bathroom.
When he came out, Aleigha already fell asleep.
In her sleep, Aleigha was displeased, frowning and pursing her lips. Adrain felt exasperated.
What happened today should displease Aleigha greatly.
It was noon when Aleigha woke up. Adrian took a day off.
He stayed at home to keep Aleigha company.
It was the good food smell that woke Aleigha up.
She got up and came to the dining hall downstairs.
Adrian was cooking in the kitchen. Considering that Aleigha starved for a whole night, he made many dishes.
Out of question, this woman wouldn't resist the charm of food.
"What are you cooking? I'm starving." Aleigha lounged on the sofa lazily like a cat.
Squinting, she watched Adrian's every move.
"One moment.'
The dishes Adrian cooked were light, and there was some seafood which was Aleigha's favorite.
Time let him know more about this woman's preferences.
Starving, Aleigha started to eat before Adrian set the table.
Adrian frowned at the messy scene.
Aleigha wiped her mouth after she was full, "I should go home now." "I took a day off for you, but you decide to walk away after being fed?" Aleigha said with a faint smile, "Mr. Xiao, I am sorry. I don't have your leisure time."
"I am busy."
"So, you have no interest in the Reid family?" Adrian looked at her amusedly.
As he expected, Aleigha's eyes sparkled at this question.
She failed to hide her resentments to the Reid family.
"Well, what's your plan? I did what I had to do last time, and Nolan got what he deserved."
"Kendal aroused some troubles, but I already punished her."
"As for the Reid family, I am not that interested."
Not interested? Why did Adrian feel that she was lying.
"More than once, the Reid family offended you. If you don't bear grudges, I would like to spare them."
Aleigha frowned slightly, and the
corners of her mouth drooped,
"Spare them? Ha! The Reid fanál net

d for nothing!" Content belongs

"I doubt if God would like to let them have their ways."
"Mr. Xiao, please do whatever you want."
"You're right, the Reid family is good for nothing."
"By the way, Kendal offended you, should I revenge for you?"
Shoot a glare at Adrian, Aleigha maintained a smiley face.
"No more indulgence, or I will be haughty."
Aleigha was forced to stay by Adrian, and they went out for dinner together.
Aleigha had some wine. It was their first date after the engagement was annulled.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Aleigha was not worried about her relationship with Adrian, and she let nature take its course.
She needed to concentrate on her business and enemies right now.
Aleigha went back to the Gardner's next morning.
Lainey was still locked up in the attic, and Marcos got Laura back to the Gardner's.
What lacked between Marcos and Laura was a marriage certificate.
Dustin fell ill and lied on his sickbed. The doctor said it took time for his recovery.
Charlotte took good care of Dustin and didn't move a step from him.
Upon her arrival, Aleigha went to
check Dustin first and kept silent et
about the kidnap. Then, she went back to her room. Content belongs

In her room, she took out her pistol. To her surprise, it was fully loaded with bullets.
Aleigha felt sure that Adrian did this.
New year was approaching.
The Gardner family was not so bustling as before.
Marcos was away a lot, but Laura didn't complain. She was satisfied with her current life.
Aleigha helped Laura's family out after learning from Lainey their whereabouts.
From now on, Laura wouldn't be controlled by others.
In the attic, Lainey was wearing down day after day. She began to cough.
Later, she spat out blood. So, Marcos sent her to the hospital.
Aleigha was busy with final examinations and seldom went home. However, her company opened up during this period.
She gave notice to Adrain. On opening day, Adrian showed up as a host.
He announced that this new company would be in charge of all his promotion and sale projects.
However, no outsiders knew Aleigha was the president of this company.
Aleigha planned to celebrate the new year with the Gardner family. However, Adrian came to the Gardner's one morning.
In the living room, he chatted and laughed with Marcos politely.
Aleigha was taken by surprise when she came downstairs to find him.
"Aleigha, Adrian has been here for while. and

How considerate he is to you!" en.s.net
The smile on Marcos' face was so large that his eyes almost disappeared.
If not for the presence of Adrian, Aleigha would mistake that Macros' happiness resulted from a new marriage.
Aleigha twitched her mouth but said nothing.
"Aleigha, both your passport and visa are ready. Let's celebrate the new year in the Middle East."
