"Aunt, don't spoil her." Neither did Marcos want to offend his aunt nor compromise.
Charlotte suddenly slapped the chopsticks in her hand on the table. "Spoil? You think I've been living abroad so I know nothing?"
"Do you need me to remind you how you treated Miranda?"
"You abandoned a virtuous woman for a shrew.
You really impressed me."
Marcos blushed in humiliation. He sat in silence, his hand on the table clenched into a fist.
"It's not that I'm picking on you, but you know the state of the Gardner family now. You all count on Aleigha's marriage with the Xiao family."
Charlotte looked grim. She was in her sixties but with a barely aged face, she was still a paragon of glamour.
"Aleigha, it doesn't matter. Go to sit with grandma Charlotte." Emilia tried to soften the atmosphere.
"One should not interrupt the conversation of the elders. Who's the spoiled one now?" Charlotte demanded.
Emilia cringed and felt like crying.
"Aleigha, come here."
Aleigha walked over and sat next to Charlotte with some feigned unease.
She was actually excited and grateful.
After the meal, Aleigha said goodbye to Charlotte and took a look at Dustin before she left.
On the road, Emilia wasn't affected by what had happened and chatted with Aleigha in an enthusiastic way.
The second Aleigha got out of the car, she saw Freddie with his friends.
She averted her face immediately but Freddie had already noticed her.
"Aleigha, wait for me."
Emilia trotted to her side with her suitcase.
"Hello, we meet again," Freddie greeted.
Aleigha pursed her lips and refused to speak.
"Aleigha, do you know him?" Emilia asked Aleigha, swooning over Freddie's handsome features.
Aleigha gritted her teeth and turned around to glare at Freddie. "What? Can you stay away from me?"
She apologized in her heart.
Freddie wasn't angered and just gave her gentle smile.
"Don't get ever close to me."
With that said, Aleigha turned around and left.
"Emilia, aren't you going to get registered?"
Aleigha snapped her head back and called Emilia who was standing motionless on the spot.
Emilia reluctantly caught up with her. She had a brilliant memory and kept the roads they walked in mind quickly.
After bringing Emilia to her dormitory, Aleigha was about to leave.
"Aleigha, can you help me carry my suitcase? It's too heavy."
Emilia looked at her and blinked.
Aleigha was intrigued by what she was up to.
She reached out to lift Emilia's suitcase.
