Chapter 1224 Don’t Come Back Until You Coax Her
Grant‘s face flushed in embarrassment. “That was for work…” Nicole snorted. “Even Logan didn’t go for something trivial like liaising with the companies below, but you ran over eagerly. What other reason could it be besides to find Aida?” Aida slowly stood up. Her eyes were already a little red. Grant hurriedly walked over and blocked the view of the others, holding her gently in his arms and patting her.
“I was just passing by. Lil N’s just babbling nonsense…” Aida’s voice choked. “But you said that you’ve never been there before, and you’ve never thought about going there to see me. You said that every time you went there, you’d just go around instead…” Grant looked at her with a complex expression and felt his heart ache. He wiped her tears away, somewhat at a loss. “Why are you crying? It’s not important whether I went or not.
At that time, the decision was yours…” Aida froze and lowered her head, crying even harder. Without caring about anything else, Aida pushed Grant away and ran out. Grant was just about to chase after her when Clayton spoke up with a smile. “Mr. Stanton, I think it’s better to let Nicole go over.” Nicole immediately nodded. She already realized that she said something wrong the moment Aida cried. Nicole actually did not know about what happened between them. She only knew a little. Nicole said that because she wanted to endear Grant to Aida. Who knew that it would backfire? Right now
, Nicole stood there obediently, wanting to become invisible. However, Clayton suddenly pushed her out. Nicole agreed without saying a word, but after thinking about it, she did not know Aida that much. Would it not be better for Grant to go coax her? She widened her eyes at Clayton, who simply smiled at her. ”Go on…” Nicole hesitated. Grant looked at her coldly. ”What are you still standing there for?
Hurry up and go. Don’t come back until you coax her!” Nicole was speechless. ’Now that Kai isn’t around, how did my status in the family drop so rapidly?’ It was a bit unexpected. Under Grant’s urging, Nicole stiffly went out. Aida sat by the small fountain pool at the entrance, looking in the direction of the garden. She was quiet and looked somewhat mournful. Nicole walked over and sat down.
“I’m sorry, Aida.” Nicole apologized meekly. If not for her, Aida would not have cried. Aida smiled and reached out to hold her hand, making her it down. “You didn’t do anything wrong. There’s no need to apologize.” “I didn’t know those words would make you cry. I thought that you knew…” The corners of Aida’s lips twitched, and her eyes could not help but sting. “I didn’t want to cry either, but I just couldn’t help it. I don’t blame you
.” Nicole hesitated for a long time. “It must’ve been very difficult for you and Grant to get back together again.” Aida felt like warm, hot liquid was about to gush from her eyes. As someone who could control her emotions well, Aida did not know why she suddenly lost control. “Yes, I thought that I was the one who planned it for a long time.” Aida bent down and smiled with her head lowered. “Back when I was in Wall Street, it was really hard on me.
It’s not a place where you can stand firm just by ability. There are geniuses abound there, but there are also all kinds of scum. Later, I gave up working for others and used the money I earned and the little property left by my family to start a business… When I left your big brother, he said we should never see each other again. I regretted it as soon as I went to Libeny, but I really couldn’t put down my pride…”
