Aaron jolted awake. When he saw it was Nora, the fear in his eyes vanished, replaced by a surge of delight.
“Nora, are you off work?”
He smoothed his clothes and stood up. “I was waiting for you. I knew you’d come.”
Nora’s tone was icy. “What is it you want to say?”
Aaron pouted. “Do you have to be like this with me? Nora, I really know I was wrong. Are you really going to write me off after seven years together just because of that one little thing?”
Nora shook her head. “It’s not just about that.”
“Then what else is there?”
Aaron grabbed her hand. “Nora, we’ve been together for seven years. We were so close to getting married. You can’t just be willful like this.”
Nora pulled her hand away, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “You think we would have gotten married?”
“Of course!”
Aaron answered without hesitation. “After all these years, I love you so much, and you love me so much. Who would I marry if not you?”
Nora almost blurted out Mia’s name.
But now wasn’t the right time to expose it.
Leonard still hadn't finalized the project with the Devereaux family and was holding her mother's situation over her head. If Nora didn’t receive the daily videos of her mother from Leonard, she would have already stormed the Hayes estate to burn it all down with him.
Revealing her knowledge of his relationship with Mia would only hurt her right now.
It wouldn’t bring any justice to that bastard and his mistress.
They might even shamelessly announce their relationship if she brought it up.
That would be playing right into Aaron’s hands.
Wasn’t his whole reason for seducing Mia to marry into the Hayes Group?
