Chapter 1176
"Can you drive me to my school? I might have to ask you to keep an eye on the girl."
Lennon came back from his thoughts and nodded.
On the way back, Aleigha kept silent. As they arrived at her school, she said good-bye and got off the car.
There were too many things that she needed to do. She had a feeling that Adrian would soon know who she was.
Or maybe he had already known. It was too easy for him to run a background check.
As she thought about it, she made a call to Adrian.
Adrian was in a meeting. He usually turned his phone off during meetings. But today was an exception.
He was glad that he didn't turn it off, or he would not have missed a call from Aleigha.
"Are you free tonight? I want to buy you dinner for being mean to you last time." Aleigha forced herself to be politer. After all, Adrian was like a golden goose to her.
A shadow of smile touched Adrian's mouth. "Okay. Text me the time and place."
After hanging up the phone, Aleigha breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was no longer mad at her.
After taking a quick shower, she changed into casual clothes. Her
hair was scraped back from her face in a ponytail. Then, she went out.
Aleigha rarely dressed like this. Although it made her look young, this was not the look for a debutante.
Her family would be laughed at if she didn't go out in nice clothes.
But today, she was too tired to dress up.
When she passed a shopping mall, she suddenly realized that her dress was not suitable for eating in a nice restaurant.
She went to the mall to get something more formal. Coincidentally, she met Emilia. It was not surprising. Emilia was either at home or a mall.
What was surprised was that Aubrie was also here. That was interesting.
From a distance she saw them standing opposite each other. Emilia didn't look happy. Maybe Aubrie was giving her a hard time. Aleigha walked into a shop and bought a black high-collared tight-fitting dress. When she put it on, it left nothing to the imagination. Her beauty was beguiling.
Then, she bought a pair of black high heels. Normally, she only wore heels to formal occasions.
She felt a terrible pain when she paid the bill. Why were them so expensive?
Emilia was still with Aubrie. Aleigha wanted to get out of here silently, but Emilia saw her.
Emilia keeping calling out to her.
But she pretended not to hear it and left without looking back.
Aubrie still didn't know that she was from the Gardner family. If she knew, so would Adrian.
In that case, her efforts would have been in vain.
Running out of the mall, Aleigha gasped.
She felt so tired and uncomfortable in these heels.
It was time for her to call Adrian. He was not a patient and waiting person.
After making reservations at a famous Turkish restaurant, she called Adrian.
In less than ten minutes, Adrian arrived at the restaurant. Nothing could hide his innate handsomeness and regal air.
If it weren't for what happened in her last life, she would have fallen in love with him again.
Adrian was dressed in a fancy suit. It made him look taller and straighter.
His top three buttons were undone, revealing his muscular strength.
Aleigha got up to greet him. Adrian's eyes lit up as he saw her. She dressed up for him!
The anger had completely gone. His deep eyes shone like stars in the light.
"How long have you been waiting?" Adrian asked. He was used to being the late one, but he didn't want to keep her waiting.
"Ten minutes, I guess," Aleigha responded with a faint smile, ignoring all the strange looks around her.
This man was always the center of attention. She got mobbed every time she was with him.
That was why she was in a bad mood at the sight of him. Of course, she couldn't say it out loud. After all, she couldn't afford to piss him off.
"Did you ask me out because you missed me?" Adrian stared at Aleigha, his heart thumping wildly.
Aleigha was slightly stunned and replied with a forced smile. "Yes. You're really smart."
"Oh? Since you missed me, why don't you come to my house after dinner?" Adrian's gaze softened. He felt that he could no longer suppress his desire for her. But Aleigha just thought he was annoying.
"Let's eat first," Aleigha said perfunctorily as she lowered her head to avoid his eyes.
This restaurant was not very high-end, but it had a good reputation. It seemed that Adrian often came here.
Because all the waitresses were very enthusiastic about him. Aleigha rolled her eyes in her heart.
There was a rare subtle change in the atmosphere between them. Aleigha was extra gentle today.
While they were eating, a lady dressed in beautiful clothes walked towards them. She looked like a real lady. Aleigha couldn't even take her eyes off her.
"You're prettier than her." Adrian suddenly said. Aleigha flushed crimson with shyness.
"I'd rather look at you, Aleigha," Adrian continued, his eyes sparkling.
Aleigha pressed her lips together. She couldn't eat anymore, so she she put down the knife and fork.
Her eyes met Adrian's. A smile played across his lips, and his eyes were shining with lust.
"Mr. Xiao, stop looking at me and saying weird things. You're killing my appetite." Aleigha was angry, but she didn't dare to lose her temper. She knew what would happen if she did that. She knew very well that an arrogant man like him would not tolerate a woman over and over againo
"I haven't seen you for so many days. I missed you so much. And my thing missed you, too." Aleigha was drinking water. Hearing that, she spat out all the water and had a cold sweat on her back.
Her lovely looks made him want her more. If it were anyone else, he would have stood up and left.
But Aleigha was different. Every move of her was cute and special in his eyes. The more he looked at her, the more he liked her. She was meant to be his woman, wasn't she?
He was pretty sure that she was the one. He was crazy about her.
"Mr. Xiao, I'm done." Aleigha couldn't take it anymore. She got up to pay the bill.
