Domineering Lover novel Chapter 1263

With a faint smile, Aleigha held Jaidyn's arm and clenched her other hand into a fist.

"Yeah, I haven't seen Windy for several years. Who would know I would never be able to ever again?"

Mrs. Fulton did not shed a tear, but looked a little depressed and sad.

Aleigha didn't know what kind of person Mrs. Fulton was. She only knew that her family had a strong background.

It was said that she was a meek person and there was nothing more that could be told from her appearance.

She certainly was acting all gently, especially when compared to Mrs. Hammond, and the sorrow lying deep down in her eyes didn't seem fake.

"Forget it, let's put all this grief behind us. And this gentleman, you must be?"

Mrs. Hammond didn't quite know Jaidyn since he was quite a mysterious figure.

Except for the people in City A, he was almost a hermit to others.

"A friend of mine and Adrian's, Jaidyn Galloway." At those words, a smile instantly crept onto Mrs. Hammond's face. "Oh, you're Miss Gardner's friend."

"How come Adrian is not here with you two?"

"He's been caught up with something." Aleigha tried to brush it off and the smile on her face became even more charming.

After the two of them left, her eyes cooled down and resumed the chilling light in them again.

Why would Mrs. Fulton suddenly be in City A? Did she hear something out of the ordinary?

Aleigha's heart was filled with doubts.

"Mrs. Fulton's family focuses on exporting and they've got their people at the City A port."

"And Mrs. Fulton has a son who had a crush on Valentino's daughter."

"Her daughter is also now in City A. The two families are soon to be tied together by marriage."

"I see. So Mrs. Fulton is here to check on Valentino's daughter."

"And she's also here to inspect on her own family business, right?"

Jaidyn nodded. "I've heard all of this from Adrian's side. They are trying to keep all this on the down low so it took him a lot of efforts to find these out."

The banquet began.

Mrs. Hammond gave a grand introduction to Mrs. Fulton, and all the guests were secretly discussing the purpose of this madam's coming to City A.

However, the discussion soon died down.

When Valentino's only daughter, Lauren, came out, next to her was a tall and handsome man.

They seemed to be of the same age, and when they walked out together, they really seemed a heaven-made perfect match.

Holding the arms of the man beside her, Lauren's every expression showed her excellent temperament.

Seeing that they have made their entrance, Mrs. Hammond couldn't wait for a second to introduce them.

Sure enough, the man named Isaias was Alexander's son.

Then, of course, the news that the two of them were about to get engaged was announced. Aleigha was not interested in it at all.

She found an excuse to get out of the hall.

The villa of the Hammond family was rather large. Aleigha went to the bathroom. As soon as she came out, she ran into a familiar embrace.

And he quickly pulled her into an empty room.

Before she could open her mouth, her lips were already covered up by a warm feeling.

After a while, she heard a soft chuckle. "Did you miss me? I was very angry to see you come in with Jaidyn."

With a blushing face full of shyness, Aleigha looked up at the man.

"Where have you been these days? What are you hiding from me?"

Adrian laughed softly and couldn't help but caress the smooth skin under her mink coat draped over her shoulders.

"I had to, otherwise, no one's gonna buy it. My little thing, I'll be going now. Wait for the good show to be staged soon."

"Go ahead, be careful."

Adrian reluctantly left. After he left for a while, Aleigha came out of the room.
