Mr George, Don't Be So Arrogant novel Chapter 102

"This ..." On the other end of the line, Aiden hesitated.

Euan felt his nerves slowly tightening in one direction. He wanted to know the answer and was afraid that knowing the answer would cause him pain and suffering once again.

"What's wrong?"

Aiden said, "Well, I'm afraid that even she doesn't know. There's no way to find out because the man left no information."

"How can there be no way to find out? A living person would have left at least a trace."

"It's true that there's no way to find out. I've tried everything and can't find out. But Euan, the key issue now is not who the person is, is it? What you should be more concerned about is your wife, who really isn't an ordinary person. I was wondering how you married her, so it's because of that!"

Euan frowned. He didn't really know.

There was nothing about Riley that he had ever investigated. He knew as much as she said.

At first, he had hoped he could learn everything about her from her, and then, after all that had happened, Euan had never wanted to hear anything about her again.

"What else did you find out?"

Aiden poked the bridge of his nose, "Frankly, I'm getting a little self-doubtful after all this time spent investigating something so useless."

Euan turned to look at the end of the corridor, "Maybe, and maybe ..."

Maybe she really was too good at disguising herself, and wiped her past clean so that there was no way for anyone to find out.

"Maybe what?"

"There's no maybe. It's that your IQ has deteriorated."

"Shit! Would it kill you to say something nice?"

"I'm not a fortune teller on the runway, and I won't say what you want to hear."

Damn!

"There's another discovery you might be interested in. Your wife used to have a crush on someone when she was in college, but then that person left for America, so your wife's crush fell through."

What? He wasn't interested in that!

"I don't want to wait any longer."

Inexplicably, he said this.

Aiden froze, "What are you going to do?"

"Confess to her."

Aiden, "... Did I hear that right? Confess?! To Riley Watson?"

"From now on, don't even call her by her full name."

Aiden was speechless.

He had decided that he wasn't going to hide it anymore. No matter what she thought in her mind, he was going to tell her!

He loved her!

The following day, Riley woke up and walked to the window to stretch her body. She was surprised to find gardenias growing in the bushes.

The white gardenias were in bright, pure bloom.

No, she was pretty sure there were no flowers here the other day. How could they have grown so big all of a sudden?

She poked her upper body out to smell the flowers. The fresh, faint scent was so nice.

At the breakfast table, the three looked at each other in silence.

Euan offered Riley a piece of broccoli from his plate.

She froze, and so did Lydia.

"Thanks."

"Give me milk."

The glass of milk was between the two of them. Couldn't he take it himself and had to ask her to serve him?

Fine.

Riley handed him the glass of milk and Euan took it but did not let go as his large hand rested on Riley's. The brief exchange of temperatures was ambiguous and a little abrupt.

Lydia smiled affectionately, "Euan, this is your favorite dish. Have some more."

She offered him a piece of green cabbage and smiled with the corners of her eyes curled.

"Are you going to be working late today?"

He took a sip of milk and said as if he didn't care.

Riley thought he was out of sorts today, "I'm not supposed to be working late. Do you have something?"

He didn't say anything else. It was good that she wasn't working late.

Riley just went to work. And after checking the room, her phone rang.

"Riley, free up your lunch hour. I need to see you."

It was Anika!

Her head ached.

"Yes, Mom."

See her at noon ... Riley has been anxious all morning. What could Anika be looking for her for? Scold her? Satirize her?

At twelve, Riley left work, changed her clothes, and went to the appointed place to meet Anika.

Inside the restaurant, Anika was dressed in a noble and elegant cheongsam, and from a distance, one could tell that her status was not ordinary.
