His Domineering Lover

Adrian was unhappy. He got up and looked at Aleigha, who was sitting up rubbing her eyes.

"It's still early." Seeing that she still looked sleepy, he pulled her into his arms.

"No, I should go back."

The screams completely woke her up. Her plan seemed to have worked, and she was overjoyed.

But Adrian was still here, so she could only suppress her pleasure.

"It's so noisy. I'll go and see what's going on." Aleigha said without looking at him.

Adrian looked at her dotingly, nodded, got up, and went to get his clothes.

Aleigha immediately got out of bed and walked to the door, but Adrian stopped her. "Wait for me."

What?

"I'll wait for you outside."

Adrian shook his head, looking like an emperor.

"Help me with my clothes."

Aleigha did not say no.

Because she knew it was useless.

Instead of wasting time arguing with him, she might as well do as he said. She didn't want to get herself in trouble.

After she helped him get dressed, he took her by the hand and walked out of the room.

The noise attracted a lot of onlookers. Only then did Aleigha realize that they were all the students at the party yesterday. The door of room 209 was wide open, and the screams came from inside.

It had been ten minutes since they heard the first scream, but the horrible screaming still didn't stop.

Aleigha couldn't be more familiar with this voice. She would never forget it even if she were dead.

She could not help but smile coldly. This was just the beginning. She was gonna make Emilia pay for what she did.

She wanted to stay and watch the show, but Adrian didn't seem to feel the same way. He pulled her down the stairs. After getting on the car, Aleigha said awkwardly, "Just drive me to downtown. I've got plans."

"And you're wearing this?" Adrian said with disgust.

Even though he said so, he not let go of her hand. He held it tightly, as if he was afraid that she would disappear.

Looking down at herself, Aleigha pouted and stopped talking. Now that something had happened to Emilia, she might be called back to the Gardeners. "Are you hungry?" Adrian asked.

"No." She looked out of the window.

She couldn't say yes, or she'd have to eat with him.

"But I am." Adrian was very curious where Aleigha was going. He wanted to follow her, but he knew he couldn't.

This woman was so stubborn and he didn't want to force her. He just wanted to be with her peacefully.

Aleigha did not refuse, so Adrian took it as an "yes". They went to Atlas Restaurant.

It was one of the most luxurious restaurants in the city. Lots of upper-class people ate here all the time, and so did Adrian.

Although Aleigha knew that he was loaded, she didn't expect him to come to such a fancy place for breakfast.

After the hot pot thing, she decided to be good. She would just eat whatever he ordered.

Anyway, what he ordered would be both expensive

and delicious.

The dishes were served one by one. As Aleigha expected, they tasted great.

Adrian seemed to be in a good mood. He was no longer wearing his poker face, which made her feel a bit awkward. Without saying anything, she enjoyed eating.

As soon as she arrived at school, she got a phone call from the Gardner family.

She wasn't surprised. Before she opened the door, she heard the laughter coming from inside.

"Aleigha! Wow, you look much prettier now."

It was Lainey Cook. Aleigha sneered in her heart, but a smile of surprise appeared on her face.

"Auntie, you're back."

Dustin Gardner and Marcos Gardner were sitting on the sofa. They seemed to be happy because of Lainey's arrival. Aleigha had a bad feeling.

Marcos kept looking at Lainey's flat lower abdomen, and his eyes were full of gentleness.

"Aleigha, will you get along with Auntie Lainey? She's pregnant."

Aleigha immediately knew what was going in. It seemed that Marcos was desperate for a son.

Lainey just got pregnant, and the sex of her baby was still uncertain. But Marcos's eyes were saying it must be a boy.

He was crazy, wasn't he? To have a son, he got Lainey pregnant at this age.

"Aleigha, did you see Emilia? I called her but no one answered."

Lainey had thought that Aleigha would come back with Emilia.

Emilia didn't come back? Wow, things were getting funny.

"What's wrong with her? Doesn't she know her mom is back?" Marcos said, but there wasn't a single hint of displeasure on his face. He was just saying that to Dustin, so Aleigha ignored him.

Walking up to Dustin, she bent down.

"Grandpa, are you feeling better?"

Dustin's face was full of kindness as he nodded. "I'm fine. Charlotte's making a big deal out of it."

Hearing that, Aleigha realized her great-auntie was not here. As she thought about it, Charlotte Gardner came in through the door.

As soon as Charlotte saw Lainey, her face changed.

"Dustin, you should get more rest!" Charlotte complained when she saw Dustin sitting on the sofa with a pale face.

With a helpless smile, Dustin raised his crutch and pointed at Lainey. "She's pregnant."

Charlotte's face darkened, and she looked at Lainey suspiciously.

Being stared at by Charlotte, Lainey felt really uncomfortable. With a stiff smile, she looked at Marcos pitifully.

Marcos, however, was too happy to notice her eyes.

Aleigha sneered. Then, she got up and greeted Charlotte, "Hello, Great-auntie."

"That's my girl. Since you're back, spend more time with your Grandpa so that he won't be lonely."

Charlotte deliberately emphasized the word "lonely" and glanced gently at Marcos and Lainey.

Immediately, the atmosphere became awkward.

With a bang, the door was pushed open.
