After All the Hurt, She Chose Herself novel Chapter 173

"I've said it before, I have only ever seen Lilith as a sister," Gideon said, holding Aria's hand. "My wife is Aria."

If he had said something like this in the past, Aria would have probably been moved to tears.

But now, she was just annoyed.

Pulling her hand away, Aria looked at Henry. "Give me the deed."

No matter how sweet his words were, everything was always for Lilith. At most, Aria got empty praise.

Oh, that wasn't right. Before, she didn't even get that.

But now, she didn't care for it in the slightest.

Aria just wanted what was rightfully hers.

Henry was momentarily unsure of Gideon's true intentions.

One minute he was doting on Lilith, and the next he was fawning over Aria, who was giving him the cold shoulder.

Could it really be just because Aria was pregnant?

But with Gideon's status, if he wanted a child, countless women would be lining up for the opportunity.

Though, Aria was indeed a unique beauty.

She had an innocent face, but her aura was not one of a delicate, dependent woman like Lilith. It was one of cool aloofness.

When her expression was cold, she had an untouchable air about her.

Henry reluctantly handed the property deed back to Aria.

But Gideon's brow furrowed, and he snatched it from her. "I said this is for Lilith. Your family is me now. Your world should revolve around me."

How could Gideon say such a thing with a straight face?

"Aria, Mr. Evernight came here with sincerity today," Henry said, holding his phone out to Aria. "Mr. Evernight had me pick this out especially for you. Take a look."

Aria glanced over.

"I heard you like dogs, so I checked every major pet store. Mr. Evernight himself looked at hundreds of puppies."

Henry spoke with a condescending, patronizing tone, as if Aria should feel honored to receive such a gift.
