The presence of Aleigha was telling enough, but Aubrie didn't even take on any surprise on her face.
She wasn't in the least othered because she didn't like Lennon too.
"Oh, so do I," she said with an understanding smile.
"Glad to hear that." Things went much more smoothly than Lennon had expected.
Aleigha gazed at Aubrie with mixed feelings. It was a new life but she found herself struggling to get over with the past.
"Have I met you before? You keep staring at me." Aubrie said to Aleigha.
Aleigha quickly shook her head. "I'm afraid no."
Lennon noticed that there was something off with Aleigha.
He gave her shoulder a slight squeeze.
She was his girlfriend until they finished this meal.
However, a cold voice sounded, "Get your hand off her."
Aleigha immediately recognized that it was Adrian's voice and rose to her feet hastily.
But she was so flustered that she bumped into the table and fell backward.
Without feeling any pain, she was brought into a broad chest, and looking up, she saw Adrian scowling at her.
"You foolish woman! Why are you dressing like this?" Adrian growled.
Dazed, Aleigha didn't say anything, neither did she move a bit.
"Are you Adrian?" Aubrie cut in, her eyes lit up. Her soft voice brought Aleigha back to reality in an instant.
Aleigha squeezed her eyes shut miserably.
Aubrie and Adrian are destined to meet each other and fall in love, she thought.
"You are?" Adrian shot a glance at Aubrie, still in anger.
Aleigha gave a start.
In the previous life, Adrian would have in no way been so rude to Aubrie.
"I'm Aubrie. We were in the same high school. You ranked the first and I the second. We both skipped two grades, but we didn't go to the same university." "I heard that you started your own company after graduating from college. I just finished my undergraduate education abroad."
Both of them were so excellent. Aleigha thought this might be the reason Adrian was attracted to Aubrie.
She lowered her eyes. It was time for her to leave.
She had made up her mind to forget Adrian and start afresh in this life, but seeing them together still made her distressed.
However, instead of letting her go, Adrian tightened his arms and pulled her even closer.
"Aleigha, why are you here?" Adrian ignored Aubrie. All his attention was on the woman in his arms now.
"Mr. Xiao, please let go of my girlfriend," Lennon said gravely.
Adrian cocked his eyebrow at his words.
"She's your girlfriend?" He enunciated every syllable.
Aleigha could feel the man's seething rage and instinctively wanted to run away, but he wouldn't let her.
"Adrian, she is indeed Mr. Landry's girlfriend. Please release her. She looks very uncomfortable," Aubrie chimed in.
She didn't like to see Adrian so close to another
woman.
She had been in love with Adrian since high school. She'd wanted to get his attention but he left the second year.
He had been like a bright comet that flew across her sky and left a permanent tail.
She was stunned and also ecstatic to meet him again.
