"Jayden!" Hans was about to get up but was stopped by Aria. The woman stood up from her seat. With tear-filled eyes, Aria glared at Jayden. "You still haven't changed, have you, Jayden? Always blaming others without looking in the mirror," Aria said, her jaw clenched. "What?" Of course, Jayden couldn't accept Aria's words. Was it because of her that Juan was in the hospital now? It was all Aria and her family's fault. Jayden had every right to be angry, right? "I'm his mother. I carried him for nine months. I gave birth to him and cared for him all this time..." Aria stepped closer. "Meanwhile, his father, who claims to love him so much, is having a crazy time with another woman." Aria laughed sarcastically. "Then are you right to judge me now? I'm earning money to support him because his father, who claims to love him so much, never gives a penny to his son." Jayden was utterly defeated, and he was instantly rendered speechless. Aria's words were like the sharpest blow that struc

Elena thought Jane would only accompany her in choosing her wedding dress. But it turned out she was also helping Elena check the reception hall, invitations, and other preparations. Elena truly felt greatly helped by her future mother-in-law's assistance. "Thank you, Ma. You've been helping me take care of everything," Elena said with a smile that hadn't faded since earlier. Now they were on their way home. Jane, sitting next to Elena, turned and smiled at her. "You're welcome. I hope your event goes smoothly until the vows and reception are over," Jane said. "I hope so." A mother's prayers are often the most effective. They soon arrived in front of the house where Aria and Jayden used to live. Jane was silent for a long time, staring at the house. "Have you lived here together?" Jane asked. "Yes. Since Aria moved in, Jayden and I have been living here," Elena replied. Jane simply nodded slowly. "Oh, I see." "Do you want to stop by, Ma?" Elena asked then. "No. Just rest. Yo

"You're finally here, Hans," Thomas greeted, seeing his son with a smile. Instead of returning the smile, Hans glared. But not at his father, but at the figure sitting in front of him, smiling faintly at him. A figure that also immediately brought Hans's mood down. "Good afternoon, Mr. Hans," he greeted politely, as if nothing had happened between them. "What are you doing here, Mr. Jayden?" Hans asked, his annoyed expression unwavering. Yes. It was Jayden Matthew, a man Hans hated. Even the sight of him made Hans's blood boil. "I called him here," said the middle-aged man—Thomas—making Hans immediately stare at his father in confusion. "What? Why did you call Mr. Jayden here?" Hans asked. "Why do you look so displeased? Don't you have a project together at Alatha Center?" Thomas asked back, as he felt Hans's response wasn't what he wanted. Oh, damn it! Hans had forgotten about that because he hated Jayden so much. He was also so busy with Aria that he forgot that his pa

Hans immediately pulled away when he realized what he was doing. He must be crazy. Kissing Aria so suddenly, again. What if she pulled away again like the last time? Oh come on, Hans. You promised not to rush Aria. Oh shit! Just blame that beautiful face. It was so tempting that Hans couldn't control himself whenever he was near her. Especially when the situation was right. He had a hard time restraining himself. "I'm sorry, Aria. I got carried away earlier," Hans said, not daring to look at Aria. "And about my words... you don't have to think too much about them. My mind was in a mess, making me speak incoherently," he said in a visibly awkward tone. Aria smiled broadly at Hans's behavior. He was so cute when he was nervous like that. The tip of her nose was slightly red, as were her earlobes. "You don't need to apologize, Hans," Aria said. Hans looked up. "I should be the one apologizing for making you wait so long," he continued, looking down at his intertwined hands. Han

Hans and Aria were now outside the building. Hans stepped further forward until he could hold onto the railing, leaving Aria standing there, staring at him. Hans let out several long sighs. From the beginning, he seemed uncomfortable there. The air inside felt stifling. "Are you upset?" Aria asked, daring to touch Hans's shoulder. "I always get upset every time I see Jayden's face," Hans replied without turning around. Aria stepped closer, taking a seat beside Hans. She also placed her hand on the metal support and gazed out at the majestic city of Alatha. "I'm sorry. We shouldn't have come," Aria said, feeling a little regretful. They shouldn't have been there in the first place. Both Aria and Hans had a bad relationship with Jayden. Aria might be able to pretend, but not Hans. Acting like everything was fine would make his chest feel so tight it felt like it was going to explode. "So, did you make Jayden think you didn't come because you still have feelings for him?" Han
