My beloved wife novel Chapter 20

Rita's legs suddenly went limp. She thought she had heard it wrong.

She couldn't believe her ears. Magee had said it and asked her not to marry Aaron! What should she do? What was her answer?

Why did he say that? Why did he ask her not to get married?

She looked back at Magee. At that moment, the elevator just arrived and stopped on the fiftieth floor.

Wendy was standing in front of the elevator door and ready to pick them up. When the elevator door opened, Rita was staring at Magee in shock and bewilderment.

An extremely weird atmosphere spread around them, as if time had stopped at that moment.

Neither of them spoke first.

"Miss Rita," said Wendy, who coughed a few times to break the embarrassing silence between them. She poked her head to see Magee, smiled and said, "Mr. Magee, Mr. Aaron is waiting for you inside."

"Miss Rita, please come with me."

Wendy was going to take Rita to the meeting room and left Magee to talk business with Aaron first.

Rita came out of the elevator with difficulty, seeing that Magee was walking away. She really wanted to go forward regardless of everything, and then ask him the reason. It was that he also liked her, wasn't it?

But she knew she couldn't do that.

If she did, what she had done before to save the Gu family would be in vain?

But she didn't know what to do while watching Magee leave.

Would he pretend that nothing had happened? Would he take back his words? Would he just pretend that he never said that? Should she just turn a deaf ear to him?

But could she pretend nothing had happened in the bottom of her heart?

"Miss Rita, this way please," seeing that Rita gave her no reaction, Wendy added.

"Okay." Rita took her gaze at Magee and cast a last glance at his back. Then she followed Wendy to the meeting room.

In the president office, Aaron was standing in front of the French window with his back on to Magee when he stepped in.

Hearing the footsteps, Aaron looked back and politely gestured Magee to sit down. "Mr. Magee, take a seat."

Magee sat opposite to him, and the two men, who were so different from each other but having the same majestic manners, were staring at each other with indelible defense and respect.
