Domineering Lover novel Chapter 1146

Under Adrian's intense gaze, Aleigha almost blurt out yes.

But she suddenly thought of how Adrian had looked at her after her face had been ruined in that fire.

Pushing Adrian away, she said composedly, "Sorry."

Adrian was confused. For one second, he'd thought Aleigha had finally opened up to him.

He couldn't make head or tail of her.

Two days later, Aleigha was informed of the fresher's party.

It will be held this Saturday night.

Aleigha was at the Gardner family when she received the message from her school.

Dustin had suddenly fainted early in the morning, so Marcos called her.

When Aleigha arrived, Lainey was still no where to be found; Emilia was sobbing on the sofa; Marcos was talking to the doctor.

Seeing her come in, Emilia was stunned at first, then lowered her head and said nothing.

Marcos cast a displeased glance at her.

Aleigha put down her bag and went straight to Dustin's room on the second floor.

She knocked on the door a few times, and after a long while, someone answered.

Aleigha pushed the door open. She saw Dustin lying on the bed and sitting next to him was a graceful woman.

She knew this woman. She was Dustin's younger sister, Charlotte.

Aleigha's eyes turned watery in an instant.

"Grandpa, I'm back." Aleigha wiped her tears lightly and rushed in. She crouched over the edge of Dusin's bed and burst into tears.

Dustin gave a start and Charlotte's eyes turned red too.

"Brother, she must have been very worried. It's so good that you're fine, or..."

Charlotte couldn't go on. Last time her brother had nearly lost his life in the hospital and had been using a cane since then.

Fortunately, he'd been treated in time and was alright now.

Probably being moved by Aleigha's reaction, Dustin raised his hand and patted her head gently.

"I'm fine, Grandpa is fine, don't cry."

Only then did Aleigha look up at him.

Charlotte had eyed her carefully as soon as she entered the door. Aleigha had a good appearance and elegant manners.

Although Charlotte heard that she had lived in the countryside for many years, she didn't behave indecently. She was adorable.

"This is my sister. She lives abroad now. She came back for me."

Dustin introduced Charlotte to Aleigha.

"Nice to meet you."

Wiping her tears, Aleigha gave Charlotte a sweet smile.

"Good girl, this is the first time I've seen you. Take this bracelet."

As she spoke, Charlotte took the jade bracelet off her wrist.

Aleigha certainly knew how valuable the bracelet was. Moreover, she heard that Charlotte's husband left it for her.

No matter what, she could not accept it.

However, she didn't want Emilia to have it. She remembered that in her last life, the bracelet had ended up in Emilia's hands because she wouldn't take it.

What a waste!

"I can't take something so expensive." Aleigha refused in a hurry.

"Take it. She gives it to you because she likes you," Dustin said.

Aleigha took on a sheepish look as she accepted the jade bracelet.
