His Domineering Lover

During the party, Adrian left for a short while. Aleigha was talking to Tanner.

She had a lead on his sister's whereabouts. This great news made Tanner have a better impression of her.

"Adrian is not good at expressing his feelings. I didn't know why he fell for you.

"Now, I think I do."

Aleigha smiled and didn't say anything.

By the time the party was over, Adrian had become friends with the guy from Fripdence.

In the car.

"I'm going to hold a party this weekend. Honey, can you help me?"

Aleigha was surprised. "Me? I've never held a party before."

"Have a try. We will hold parties from time to time in the future. You are the hostess, and this is kind of your job."

Because of the party thing, Aleigha had had an unusually busy week.

She could only turn to Windy, who was an expertContent rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

in this field.

On Wednesday, Adrian told Aleigha that the mayor of City A would also come to the party.

The mayor had just taken office, and he was from Fripdence. His background was unknown.

Now that Adrian took him seriously, he must be something.

On Friday, Aleigha had almost finished her preparations. Fresh ingredients would be delivered on Sunday.

For this party, Aleigha had not slept well for several nights.

Adrian was trying to train her. He felt sorry for her when he saw her eyes, but he couldn't do anything.

Early on Sunday morning, Windy came to the Xiao Residence with Freddie. Aleigha felt so glad that she had Windy's help. Without it, she would definitely screw it.

The fresh ingredients were delivered on time. Aleigha had the chef of a Michelin restaurant come here.

Even the cutlery was the best. She really put a lot of work into it.

She was very thorough even in the details.

In the afternoon, guests arrived one after another.

Adrian returned home as fast as he could.

The living room was decorated both inside and outside, and even the yard was decorated.

As night fell, the house looked like a palace.

The mayor, Valentino Hammond, brought his wife and daughter here. Adrian and Aleigha welcomed them personally. Valentino, who was in his early fifties, had been in Fripdence for many years before. His wife was from a noble family.

Mrs. Hammond was few years younger, and her temperament was outstanding. There was a hint of nobility in her every gesture.

Their daughter just turned 23 this year. She just got back from studying music in Vienna.

When they came in, there weren't many people who recognized them. It was Adrian's willingness to greet them that drew attention to them. Mrs. Hammond was a smart woman. She looked at Aleigha meaningfully.

"Mr. Xiao, is this lady your friend?" Mrs. Hammond sized Aleigha up.

Then, she raised a questioning eyebrow.

"She's my wife, because we haven't been able to hold a wedding yet." Adrian explained calmly.

He did not flatter her because she was the

mayor's wife.

Upon hearing that, a trace of disappointment flitted across Mrs. Hammond's eyes. She glanced at Aleigha and then changed the subject.

After arranging the three of them to their seats, Adrian took Aleigha to the door.

"What do you think of Mr. Hammond?" Adrian asked in a low voice.

Aleigha turned to look at the three people who were smiling not far away. "He's Alexander's man.

"Don't you think it's odd that he came here of his own accord?"

Aleigha had looked into the Hammonds. Valentino used to be Alexander's subordinate.

His path in politics was smooth, as if someone was helping him in secret.

In his early 50s, he became the mayor of City A. That didn't usually happen.

It was Alexzander who had been helping him.

"What Aubrie did has been spread to Fripdence. The Landry family has canceled the engagement, but the whole thing was hushed up.

"Darien hasn't been doing much lately, and there's no criticism of Aubrie.

"I'm afraid it has something to do with this new

mayor."

Adrian was right. Aubrie had been unusually quiet lately.

The more quiet she was, the more Aleigha felt that she was planning something big.

Alexzander was a handful, and he'd got a lot of followers.

Windy talked with her friends for a while and then came to Aleigha. Suddenly, she saw Valentino from a distance.

It was not a coincidence, was it?

"Aleigha, why is Valentino here?" Because of what had happened to the Woods family, Windy hated Alexzander to the core.

She knew that Valentino worked for Alexzander.

"Well, maybe someone's getting antsy and wants to do something."

A hint of cruelty flashed across Windy's eyes. "Valentino got where he is with the help of his father-in-law and Alexzander.

"He is Alexander's most loyal dog. I'm afraid he's gonna be our enemy. You and Adrian should be careful." Aleigha nodded.

At the beginning of the party, Aubrie, who was all dressed up, suddenly showed up. Then, she went to Valentino's table.

She acted as if she was very familiar with the Hammonds.

"Did you invite her?" Aleigha looked at Aubrie with a cold expression on her face.

Adrian shook his head. He didn't look happy, either.

Aubrie came to them calmly after greeting the Hammonds.

"Adrian, hi."

Aleigha raised her eyebrow and looked at Aubrie, only to find that she wouldn't take her eyes off Adrian.

Her eyes brimmed over with love for Adrian.

It really pissed Aleigha off.

Adrian glanced at her without saying anything.

"Adrian, are you free tomorrow? Uncle Valentino wants to invite you to dinner at his place."

She turned a blind eye to Adrian's indifference as she continued to look at him with a smile, waiting for his answer.

"Aleigha, let's go," Adrian went straight to Valentino's table with Aleigha.

He didn't even say a word to Aubrie.

Aubrie stood there in a daze. After the two of them left, she turned around angrily.

As Aubrie said, Valentino invited Adrian and Aleigha to have dinner at his house tomorrow.

Of course, Adrian said yes. He spoke to Valentino with an ingratiating smile on his face.

Mrs. Hammond was a social butterfly, and soon she began to chat with the other ladies.

She even greeted Windy warmly and talked about the past. This party got her to know many people.

Valentino had been in the

officialdom for many years and had

seen alot of people. It was not the

first time that he had dealt with businessmen.

He knew what to say and what not to say. He got to know a lot of famous businessmen at the party.

It would not be a bad thing for his career.

The party was over, and the guests left.

Adrian held Aleigha, who was really exhausted, in his arms. "Thank you so much."

"It's really tiring, but it's worth it. You know Lillianna? She's the wife of the Treasury Secretary. Godmother invited her here.

"I heard Lillianna's family had a

position in Fripdence. After what et

happened last time, Godmother decided to get closer to people in Fripdence. én.swnovels.net

"On one hand, she wants to know what's going on there. On the other hand, she wants to train me. What do you think?" Adrian nodded. "It's a great idea. Remember, I'll always be there for you."
