After All the Hurt, She Chose Herself novel Chapter 24

Aria’s throat was painfully dry, and tears streamed down her face.

Humiliation and despair washed over her in waves.

She curled up in the corner of the car, biting her lip hard, an occasional sob escaping.

Henry glanced back, but Gideon raised the partition between them.

“Drive.”

Aria hadn’t used the speakerphone, so he had only heard bits and pieces of the conversation.

It sounded like an acquaintance of hers was in the hospital. He had just stopped her from visiting, that was all. Was it really necessary to cry like this?

Wasn’t she just playing the victim?

If the person could call her, they couldn't be in that bad of a shape.

“Once Lilith goes home tomorrow, I won’t stop you from coming here.”

It was too late.

Aria cried silently.

Her professor would never trust her again.

Henry pulled the car up to the Evernight estate.

“Does Ms. Rowan intend to continue staying at Mr. Evernight’s home?”

Seeing that Aria wasn’t getting out of the car, a hint of disdain crossed Henry’s face.

Aria was attractive, but she was just the unfavored daughter of the Rowan family. How could she possibly compare to Lilith?

Did she really think she could seduce Gideon with these kinds of tricks?

“You can go home.”

Gideon shut the car door.

Aria understood exactly what he meant.

She was ovulating. Otherwise, he would never have let Henry drive into the Evernight estate.

Henry’s heart skipped a beat. He didn’t dare linger. He would never breathe a word of what happened today to anyone.

Aria had actually managed to successfully seduce Mr. Evernight!

After Henry left, Gideon ignored Aria.
