Chapter 1168
"I know you are curious why I am doing this to you. I can only tell you I want you to stay away from me.
"Some things are better left unsaid. In short, stay away from me and my sister Emilia."
Freddie looked at Aleigha. This was the first time that he had been so close to her. He didn't know why, but he fell prey to her charm.
Every time he wanted to get closer to her, she would put on a distant look. It was really hurtful.
His heart was supposed to be a lake of peace. She was like a gust of wind, rippling the calm surface.
He was completely bewitched.
"But I don't want to."
Freddie blurted out and hurriedly turned his head to look out of the car, afraid that he would meet Aleigha's cold gaze.
"It won't do you any good to get close to me. Believe me."
Aleigha sighed. She knew how Freddie felt about her. She had to let him get over her before he completely fell in love with her.
"Can't we be friends?" "No!"
"I can protect you."
"I don't need it. I can protect myself."
"If it weren't for me, you would have been beaten."
"I don't care! Just leave me alone."
The car slowly stopped at the gate of the Gardner Residence. Aleigha got out of the car without looking back. She didn't even say thank you to Freddie. Freddie sat in the car and looked at her back. He muttered, "Aleigha, I can't give up on you. I'm sure I'll impress you one day."
When Aleigha got home, she saw Charlotte sitting on the sofa.
Charlotte looked at her with an ambiguous smile, sending chills down her spine. "Grandaunt, what's with that smile?"
"I like Freddie. I think he's no worse than Adrian. If Adrian wants to break off the engagement, let him."
What the hell?
"Come on, Freddie and I aren't even friends." Aleigha was a bit helpless. Meanwhile, she was worried about another thing. Based on what had happened in the last life, Charlotte's time was drawing near. She had to figure out a way.
"Hey, Aleigha, what are you blushing for?"
"I'm not! Grandaunt, it's late. You should go to bed."
Charlotte looked at her and secretly poked her waist. "My little girl has something on her mind and refuses to tell me. But it's okay. "Good night."
"Can I sleep with you tonight?" Aleigha was still worried. What if Charlotte went out and had a car accident when she was sleeping? Charlotte happily took her hand to go upstairs.
It was the middle of the night. Aleigha's eyes were red and puffy. Looking at the sleeping Charlotte, she was slightly relieved.
Before she could continue to sleep, a tinkling sound came from downstairs, followed by Marcos's roar.
Aleigha was completely woken up. She got out of bed quietly and walked out of Charlotte's room.
In the living room, Lainey and her daughter knelt down and hugged each other. Marcos was holding a broken vase.
Dustin sat on the sofa with a calm expression. It was as if he didn't care about it at all.
"Let's go and watch the show. I'm so excited that they are gonna be punished." Charlotte, who was also woken up, whispered.
Aleigha was startled. She turned around and looked at her. "Grandaunt, I thought you were sleeping."
"They're so noisy. This family doesn't take a day off."
It was already seven o'clock in the morning. It seemed that no one slept well last night.
As soon as they got downstairs,
Marcos threw the vase at

"What's wrong with you?" Charlotte's heart ached and she hurriedly squatted down to check Aleigha's injury.
"I can't believe you ganged up with outsiders to bully your father!" Marcos was just like an angry lion, glaring at Aleigha.
Aleigha frowned slightly and looked up at Marcos. "If you hadn't hit me, Freddie wouldn't have stood out for me."
Marcos got even angrier. He turned around, trying to find something a little more lethal.
"As*hole! How could you blame it on Aleigha? Let me remind you, the Woods family has her back!"
Dustin received a call from Windy
vel?
early in the morning. Knowing what had happened in the hospital yesterday, he apologized to Windy over and over again.
He was as old as Windy's dad, yet he had to apologize to her! This was really ridiculous. But he had no other choice.
The Woods family was more difficult to deal with than the Xiao family.
Marcos suddenly stopped moving as if he had been immobilized. After a long while, he looked at Aleigha.
"Fine, I'll just let you go. Now that you have someone else behind you, get the hell out of here!"
Aleigha sneered in her heart. Why should she be the one who was leaving?
"Since Dad said so, I will leave." Aleigha did not explain, nor did she pretend to be weak. She turned around to leave.
"Aleigha, wait. Don't listen to him. I'm not dead yet. He's not the boss of the family!"
As Dustin said so, he banged his cane on the ground.
"Dad, what are you saying? We haven't had a peaceful day since she came back. Do you still
want to keep her?"© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Marcos was so angry that he was panting heavily.
"What did she do? Did she pretend to be pregnant, or did she try to seduce her future brother-in-law?
tell me, what did she do Comel
on,
Dustin pointed at Lainey and Emilia with his cane. The love and indulgence of the past was completely gone.
Not only was he disappointed in them, but he loathed them.
Marcos was speechless. He looked at Lainey and then kicked her to the ground.
"Why would I marry you?"
Lainey didn't even dare to cry, let alone speak. She held Emilia in her arms, afraid that Marcos would kick Emilia in the belly. "Why are you still protecting this b*satrd? And you even called Adrian.
"Don't you have dignity?
"Shameless b*tch."
Marcos was so angry that he kept call Lainey names. He had completely forgotten how he had doted on her.
Emilia lowered her head. She was no longer as arrogant as before.
"Forget it. What's the use of yelling at them? I told you they were jinxes.
"And the younger jinx is carrying a little jinx. This family is so over."
Charlotte felt disgusted at the sight of Lainey and Emilia. She really wished that Marcos could drive them out.
"Go get a divorce. The Gardner family doesn't need them, and I don't want to see them again."
Dustin waved his hand in disgust and turned his head away.
Hearing that, Lainey couldn't retain her composure. She raised her head and shouted at Marcos, "Marcos, you can't divorce me!
"Or I'll tell everyone what you did!"
