Divorced and Dominant Now You Cry novel Chapter 959

A middle–aged man stepped into the private room, his features sharp and defined. He was Aaron Sterling, the man who controlled a third of Linton Island’s criminal underworld and also Miranda’s father.

A young man followed behind him. He was good–looking, and his aura made it clear he had already stepped into the transformation realm.

He wore a faint, arrogant smile. When he noticed Ashton in the room, his brows tightened, and his gaze turned hostile.

The young man had already set his sights on Miranda. He didn’t like her standing close to another man, and he wanted her all to himself.

“Dad!”

Miranda smiled and made the introductions.

“This is Ashton Gray. He’s the blind date mom arranged for me. And this is Quinn Callahan, my best friend.”

“Hello, Mr. Sterling.”

Quinn’s body tensed as she spoke, and she sounded slightly nervous. Aaron’s attitude was calm and carried no obvious pressure, but the presence of someone in power still made her breathing uneven. She lowered her head and avoided his gaze.

Ashton gave a slight nod in acknowledgment. He wouldn’t have greeted Aaron at all if not for Miranda.

Aaron’s gaze swept curiously over Ashton. When he saw that Ashton didn’t avoid his scrutiny, he showed a trace of surprise, then looked at him again before chuckling.

“Your mom’s at it again. What a headache! I even brought Cyrus from Apex Martial Academy today. I thought you two could get to know each other,” he said.

“Miranda, it’s only been a few days, but I haven’t been able to stop thinking about you. I even dreamed about you last night,” Cyrus Leighton said with measured calm.

Miranda and Quinn both flinched the moment they heard it. Goosebumps rose on their skin, and the line was unbearably cheesy.

“Dad, Ashton, and I are getting along well. We’re still getting to know each other. It’s not appropriate for you to bring another man here like this,” she said with a frown.
