Semua Bab The Billionaire Regret After My Goodbye: Bab 201 - Bab 210

After they got back to the apartment, Kane locked Aria inside.The reason was simple: on the drive home, Aria had made it clear several times that she wanted to leave.Kane was furious, and the result was Aria losing her freedom.After he left, he used the security system to lock the apartment. Unless he unlocked the door from the outside, there was no way for Aria to get out."Enough! When are you going to let me go?"Looking at Kane sitting across from her at the dinner table, Aria finally snapped."Never." Kane's voice was firm. "I've told you more than once, I'm not letting you leave me again."Aria scoffed. "I really want to know, what do people even mean to you?"Kane paused, his hand hovering with a piece of chicken. He frowned. "What do you mean?""You treat people like pets, locking them up whenever you feel like it." Aria gave a mocking smile, thinking about her own situation."You're not a pet, you're my girlfriend," Kane said with a small smile, placing the chicken on her

Kane's words left Aria speechless once again.It was true; there were many people deserving of sympathy, but few were willing to give their money and time to charity. Even taking the baby to an orphanage would likely be a dead end.Aria's lips were sealed. She just couldn't bear to see such a small child lose her right to live because of a congenital heart defect."I'll arrange for her to be taken to an orphanage. You're coming home with me." Kane, not wanting to see Aria's sad face, grabbed her wrist and pulled her to his side."No! Please, let me stay a little longer. I want to be with her!" Aria refused to move.Kane frowned. "Aria, enough is enough!""Does a human life mean so little to you?" Aria bit her lip, glaring at Kane with resentment. "Tell me, if I were close to death one day, would you treat me the same way?"Aria's expression turned bleak. A cascade of thoughts flooded her mind, particularly about her place in his heart.Despite his repeated claims that she was his girl

Hearing the voice, Aria froze. It took her a moment to realize who it was."Chad? Is that you?"Chad had been in Germany for nearly two months. He hadn't contacted Aria, and the only news she'd heard about him was from Caleb's phone call."Yeah, it's me," Chad's voice was soft. "Are you doing okay?""I'm great!" Aria let out a small laugh, then asked, "What about you? How are you? The last time Caleb called, he said he wasn't in Germany anymore, so he didn't know how you were.""Me?" Chad's voice was light and airy as he replied. "I'm doing rehab."For some reason, Aria felt his laugh was forced.Caleb had previously said that Chad was crippled, but now he was talking about doing rehab. Aria was confused.She didn't want to ask Chad directly, afraid of hitting a nerve and upsetting him even more.As Aria fell silent, Chad spoke slowly. "Aria, I know you're not doing well. Kane is so unpredictable. How can he ever truly care about you?"Aria's heart ached a little. She often thought th

Kane and Aria went to the hospital first thing in the morning. When they arrived, the doctor was on rounds, and Aria took the opportunity to ask a lot of questions about Elena's condition.Elena was recovering well, but the doctor still suggested she stay for a bit longer. A few of her blood test results were slightly high, and the doctor wanted to keep her for observation.With the caregiver there, Garrick only needed to bring lunch and dinner, so both he and Aria agreed to the extended stay.After dismissing the caregiver, Aria sat on the side of the bed, holding Elena's hand and asking if she felt any discomfort.Seeing the mother and daughter chatting animatedly, Kane went to wash some strawberries. He knew Aria loved them.Even as Elena was talking to Aria, she kept glancing at Kane. A smile touched her lips when he came back with a bowl of washed strawberries.Aria, confused, turned her head, and a strawberry appeared right in front of her mouth."Try one," Kane said, holding th

Kane could clearly see the hesitation in Aria's eyes.Just as he was waiting for her answer, Kane's phone rang.Aria immediately pulled back."You should get that," she said, turning her head away to avoid his gaze.Kane was disappointed and annoyed. Who was so inconsiderate as to call at such a tense moment?He picked up his phone and looked at the caller ID. His expression immediately became serious, his brows furrowed.Aria instinctively wanted to ask who it was, but before she could, Kane took the phone and went into the study.She was baffled. Who was it that he had to go into the study for a private conversation?Inside the study, Kane had already answered the call. "Mom, why are you calling so late?"Natalie's voice came through the line. "What? Do I need to schedule a time to call my son?""That's not what I meant," Kane said, frowning. He quickly changed the subject. "How have you been feeling? Are you taking your medication on time?""Hmph! I'm all alone out here, and you ha
