Domineering Lover novel Chapter 1173

"I'm pretty sure I smell jealousy. Are you jealous?"

Adrian couldn't help but smile when he saw the dazed look on her face.

Hearing this, Aleigha gave him a hard look and shouted angrily, "Get out of here! I'm not jealous at all! You're insane!

"Who do you think you are? Why would I be jealous because of you? You've got Miss Gardner and Miss Fulton.

"So stop coming to me! I don't like playboys! I don't like you! Get out!"

Adrian frowned. He knew that she was cranky. Her temper was getting worse.

"Hey, I didn't do anything."

"Mr. Xiao, when will the product be released?" Aleigha changed the subject.

Adrian casually leaned against her legs and said, "This matter isn't as simple as we thought it would be.

"The Landry family and Darien are not good-for-nothings. They're trying their best to go against me. It's just I'm not a pushover.

"They can't stop me. But I'd like to wait a little

longer to launch the product.

"I need to take care of something personal first." Something personal?

If Aleigha was correct, he was talking about the engagement with the Gardner family.

"Looks like you're indeed busy. Well, I feel sleepy and want to rest."

Aleigha's spirit drooped. Because of Aubrie and Emilia, she no longer wanted to have anything to do with Adrian.

However, what if Adrian really married Emilia? Everyone would laugh at her.

When she thought of Emilia and Aubrie, her heart instantly turned as cold as ice.

"Are you angry?" Adrian was really confused. Why did she always get angry for no reason?

"Why would I be angry? Mr. Xiao, what makes you think I'd be angry for you? It's getting late. You should get going."

Aleigha covered herself with the blanket. She didn't want to talk to Adrian anymore.

Adrian clenched his fists tightly with anger. He lowered his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.

However, the coldness emanating from him was enough to make people shudder.

"Aleigha?"

Adrian took in a deep breath and tried his best to suppress his anger.

Aleigha didn't say anything, as if she didn't hear him.

After a long while, Adrian left the hospital.

As soon as he walked out of the hospital, he took a few deep breaths. He had given Aleigha all his patience and tolerance.

Who else dared to give him that attitude? He had never been so gentle with a woman before.

The two of them parted in discord. Aleigha was so angry that she could hardly sleep all night.

The next afternoon, she went straight back to the Gardner family.

Emilia no longer messes with Aleigha, even though there was hatred in the way she looked at Aleigha.

After half a month, Aleigha went back to school.

Freddie waited for her at the school gate, as if he knew that she would come back.

"Hi, Aleigha!"

Aleigha felt a headache and pretended not to see him.

"Aleigha, how's your wound? Let me get your stuff." Freddie solicitously wanted to help Aleigha with the stuff.

"I'm good. I can do it myself. Leave me alone." Aleigha was still as cold as an iceberg, rejecting everything about Freddie.
