"So, Aria? Do you agree to my offer?" Hans asked after taking a sip of the drink the waiter had just brought along with his other order.

Aria looked up, staring deeply into Hans's eyes. She showed no expression, making it impossible for him to guess what was on her mind.

Hans smiled again. "You won't lose anything if you agree, Aria, because this isn't just a partnership." Hans paused for a moment and then looked deeply into Aria's eyes. He tried to show her that what he was about to say next w

  • Divorce Me Mr Arrogant   54. Unexpected

    The atmosphere in the ICU where Elvis was being treated was chaotic. Just moments ago, the middle-aged man had been declared fine, bringing a sigh of relief to the family, but now his condition had worsened. Jane hugged Jayden tightly, unable to bear the sight of her husband struggling between life and death. Seeing the doctors treating him begin to feel overwhelmed, Jayden became pessimistic. The worst case scenario was that his father might not be saved. But wasn't that a good thing for Jayden? Because that was exactly what the young man had hoped for. Since his father fell ill, Jayden hadn't cared at all. Even if the man died, he would be the happiest person. Another obstacle to his plans would be gone. All the care he had shown up to now was just an act. He wanted to appear like a son who loved his father dearly, a son afraid of losing him. And that wasn't difficult, because Jayden had always been putting on an act to cover up the truth. And sure enough, Elvis finally took

  • Divorce Me Mr Arrogant   53. Apology

    Aria never imagined that her decision would hurt so many people. It even cost her mother-in-law her life. So Jane wasn't wrong to blame her. This all happened because of Aria's selfishness. She could only imagine that if she had stayed silent, perhaps he would still be with them. But it was already done. There was nothing Aria could do. "I haven't forgotten, Mrs. Jane. In fact, I'm sure Aria deeply regrets what she did," Andrew said, his voice trembling. "Regretting is useless. My husband won't come back," Jane said, hiding her tears in Jayden's arms. "I'm sorry. I'm truly sorry for what happened," Andrew whispered. "Dad, what are you doing?" Aria asked, confused by her father's behavior. "Andrew, what are you doing?" Anne asked, joining her husband as he knelt before Jane and Jayden. "Dad, wake up! You didn't have to do this!" Aria said, trying to lift her father back to his feet. "Then who's going to do it? You? Are you going to apologize to your husband and in-laws?" Andrew

    Wreaths were neatly lined up at the Matthew family's funeral home. Dozens of people began arriving to offer their condolences, including friends, relatives, business associates, and investors of the family. "Mom, please. Don't be like this, poor Dad," Jayden coaxed his mother, who continued to cry while hugging her father's coffin. She looked devastated by her husband's eternal departure. She had fainted countless times and had to be carried to the resting place by several people. And now Jane had lost consciousness again. Jayden had to carry his mother into the room himself, ordering several maids to look after her while he met the continuing arrival of guests. Aria stared blankly at the figure of her father-in-law placed on top of his coffin. Tears fell from her eyes. Aria truly missed her father-in-law. Their relationship might not have been as warm as other in-law-daughter couples, but Elvis had always treated her well. Aria lowered her head to hide her sobs. Until someone

    "Hey! What happened to your face?" Viona shouted as she approached Hans as soon as he stepped into her apartment. "Don't ask so many questions! You better get some medicine now and help me treat it!" Hans ordered, sitting down on the sofa. Viona immediately grabbed what Hans needed and quickly carried it to the living room where the man was. A first aid kit and ice cubes to compress Hans's slightly swollen cheek. "Oh my God, your wound is so bad," Viona said, looking as if she was about to cry when she saw Hans's battered face. But she held it in as best she could. Viona didn't want her image as a tough girl to be tarnished by crying, especially in front of Hans. "Ah! Slow down, Viona!" Hans winced in pain as Viona pressed the ice cube against his face quite hard. "Yes, sorry. I didn't mean to," Viona said, feeling a little guilty. The woman meticulously cared for Hans, applying compresses, cleaning the wound, and applying medicine. Viona did everything very carefully so as not

    Aria sighed heavily as she looked at her mother, who was now sitting with her head bowed on the edge of the bed. After Andrew left, the woman had only stared at Aria for a moment without saying anything before leaving. Aria could see the disappointment in the woman who had given birth to her, but she still defended Aria. This was heartbreaking. Her mother shouldn't have had to do that. Aria was completely innocent. Aria only caught up to Anne after a few minutes. The woman let the situation calm down. Wouldn't it be easier to talk with a cool head? The woman's steps were heavy as she approached her mother. The last time Aria had seen her mother cry was at her wedding, and it was because she was happy, not like now; she was crying because she was disappointed. "Mom..." Aria called softly, causing her mother to turn around. Seeing Anne reach out her hand, Aria immediately hugged her. She cried loudly like a child complaining about a fight with a friend. "I'm sorry, Mom... sob. I r

  • Divorce Me Mr Arrogant   49. Doubt

    For the umpteenth time, Aria was fooled by the man who was still her husband. Aria chuckled sadly, as if laughing at her own stupidity. She thought Jayden's silence meant he had agreed and wouldn't demand anything more from her. But it turned out Aria was wrong. Jayden's silence was because he had a plan prepared to attack Aria. To this day, Aria remains confused. What exactly made Jayden want to keep her with him? Was he still not satisfied with hurting her? 'I guess so,' Aria whispered to herself. Now everything Jayden did was backfired on Aria. Even to defend herself, Aria wasn't given a chance because they all trusted Jayden more than her. Aria's living room, now occupied only by Andrew, Anne, and Aria, felt tense. Andrew felt so ashamed of Jayden's family that he dragged his wife and daughter from the hospital before they knew what was happening to Elvis. Andrew glared at Aria, who now only had her head bowed before him. "Don't you want to say anything, Aria?" Andrew asked,

    "WELCOME!" greeted several people who received short hugs from Jayden and a sweet smile from Aria."I want to meet my Mom and Dad first," Aria said goodbye to Jayden when her eyes discovered the whereabouts of her father and mother. Jayden just nodded slowly as permission and went back to busy chat
