After All the Hurt, She Chose Herself novel Chapter 140

“Why are you all dolled up? Who are you trying to seduce?”

“You’re 26! Not some eighteen-year-old girl! What are you doing wearing pink? Change it!”

Eveline said she couldn’t wear pale pink, but Aria’s eyes immediately spotted the pink diamond necklace around Eveline’s own neck.

“So, wearing pink is seduction? Then which young toyboy are you trying to attract with that pink diamond?”

Eveline was so surprised by Aria’s retort that she instinctively tried to hide her necklace, then immediately snapped, “What nonsense are you talking?”

Aria smiled slightly. “Aren’t you the one who started talking nonsense?”

Gideon, hearing the argument, walked over. His eyes landed on Aria’s face.

Rosy, vibrant, and full of life.

An Aria like this was incredibly charming.

He looked at her, his voice softening unconsciously. “What are you two arguing about?”

Aria briefly explained the situation.

Gideon frowned and looked at Eveline. “Mom, it’s just a dress. If my grandfather heard you, he’d scold you again.”

Aria looked beautiful in pink, and he liked it. Besides, she was going out with him, so who could she possibly be trying to seduce?

Eveline knew she was being unreasonable, but the sight of Aria so extravagantly dressed infuriated her.

She yanked off her necklace and snorted. “Fine! I was talking nonsense, alright?”

After Eveline left, Gideon’s gaze returned to Aria’s face. He took a few steps forward and held out his hand. “Let’s go.”

Aria had no desire to hold his hand. She sidestepped him neatly and said, “Didn’t you say we were going to be late? Let’s not waste any more time.”

Interactions between prominent families were always taken seriously.

Everyone from the Evernight family, except for Aldous Evernight himself, including Raphael, had been invited to the banquet.

This wasn’t just a party; it was a matchmaking event for the rich and powerful.
