His Domineering Lover

"I'm pretty sure I smell jealousy. Are you jealous?"

Adrian couldn't help but smile when he saw the dazed look on her face.

Hearing this, Aleigha gave him a hard look and shouted angrily, "Get out of here! I'm not jealous at all! You're insane! "Who do you think you are? Why would I be jealous because of you? You've got Miss Gardner and Miss Fulton.

"So stop coming to me! I don't like playboys! I don't like you! Get out!"

Adrian frowned. He knew that she was cranky. Her temper was getting worse.

"Hey, I didn't do anything."

"Mr. Xiao, when will the product be released?" Aleigha changed the subject.

Adrian casually leaned against her legs and said, "This matter isn't as simple as we thought it would be.

"The Landry family and Darien are not good-for-nothings. They're trying their best to go against me. It's just I'm not a pushover.

"They can't stop me. But I'd like to wait a little

longer to launch the product.

"I need to take care of something personal first." Something personal?

If Aleigha was correct, he was talking about the engagement with the Gardner family.

"Looks like you're indeed busy. Well, I feel sleepy and want to rest."

Aleigha's spirit drooped. Because of Aubrie and Emilia, she no longer wanted to have anything to do with Adrian.

However, what if Adrian really married Emilia? Everyone would laugh at her.

When she thought of Emilia and Aubrie, her heart instantly turned as cold as ice.

"Are you angry?" Adrian was really confused. Why did she always get angry for no reason?

"Why would I be angry? Mr. Xiao, what makes you think I'd be angry for you? It's getting late. You should get going."

Aleigha covered herself with the blanket. She didn't want to talk to Adrian anymore.

Adrian clenched his fists tightly with anger. He lowered his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.

However, the coldness emanating from him was enough to make people shudder.

"Aleigha?"

Adrian took in a deep breath and tried his best to suppress his anger.

Aleigha didn't say anything, as if she didn't hear him.

After a long while, Adrian left the hospital.

As soon as he walked out of the hospital, he took a few deep breaths. He had given Aleigha all his patience and tolerance.

Who else dared to give him that attitude? He had never been so gentle with a woman before.

The two of them parted in discord. Aleigha was so angry that she could hardly sleep all night.

The next afternoon, she went straight back to the Gardner family.

Emilia no longer messes with Aleigha, even though there was hatred in the way she looked at Aleigha.

After half a month, Aleigha went back to school.

Freddie waited for her at the school gate, as if he knew that she would come back.

"Hi, Aleigha!"

Aleigha felt a headache and pretended not to see him.

"Aleigha, how's your wound? Let me get your stuff." Freddie solicitously wanted to help Aleigha with the stuff.

"I'm good. I can do it myself. Leave me alone." Aleigha was still as cold as an iceberg, rejecting everything about Freddie. Freddie wasn't angry and continued to follow her.

When they passed by the Academy of Art, they saw Emilia come out surrounded by several people.

Aleigha immediately looked away.

"Emilia, isn't that your sister?"

Emilia was courteously complimented by those around her.

"Sister? She's raised in the barn, you know. I don't even think she's my family."

Emilia had already taken off her mask of tenderness. She didn't mind speaking ill of Aleigha at all.

Now that she was gonna be Mrs. Xiao, why should she continue to pretend to be nice to her so-called sister? Hearing this, Aleigha didn't get mad at all. Without even looking at Emilia, she left.

"Wow, Emilia, your sister seems really tough." Someone said.

Following Aleigha, Freddie glanced at Emilia.

There was a rare trace of annoyance in his clear eyes.

Emilia didn't know what to do under his gaze. She just looked away. She knew very well she couldn't offend Freddie.

"Aleigha, are you angry? Don't take it to heart." Freddie caught up with Aleigha and asked with concern.

The corners of Aleigha's lips curled up slightly. "You think I'm gonna get mad at somebody who doesn't matter?"

"I heard that Adrian wanted to cancel the engagement."

Freddie never cared about what happened between these big families. However, he cared about Aleigha. He heard it from his elders.

"So what? I never wanted to be engaged to him in the first place."

Aleigha was telling the truth. Even if

and Emilia would find a way

her from marrying Adrian.

"I think it's a good thing, too. I heard that Adrian had a bad temper."

Inexplicably, Freddie felt a little happy.

Aleigha stopped and turned to look him up and down. "Looks like you've heard a lot. I'm here.

Bye!"

Aleigha had missed a lot of class

because of a series of leave

requests.

In the past few days, she had been in the library. At night, she would go to fighting classes. She lived every day to the fullest.

Emilia had been overjoyed theses

the engagement to Aleigha, which made her think she was gonna be Mrs. Xiao.

She even told people that she was pregnant with Adrian's child.

Even the local news reported that Emilia was pregnant. Aleigha saw it, but she didn't care.

After all, Emilia was a pure idiot.

This day, as soon as Aleigha came back to the Gardener Residence, she heard Emilia yelling like crazy.

Dustin had gone to America with Charlotte and would not return in a while. At first, Aleigha didn't plan to come back.

However, Marcos called her.

"B*tch, stop pestering my Adrian."

Aleigha was sitting on the sofa, silent.

Marcos was smoking. He seemed to be worried.

Lainey was not here. Aleigha wondered what had happened.

Emilia wanted to keep calling Aleigha names, but when she saw Marcos's dark face, she stopped.

"I called you guys back here because I wanted to talk to you about something."

Marcos looked very anxious. He kept smoking and the living room smelt of cigarette.
