The Captain I Married by Chance novel Chapter 313

Aaron froze.

He had been so caught up in his speech that he forgot where he was and who was listening.

Mia's sudden outburst made him realize he had walked into an impossible trap.

If he chose Nora, Mia's personality guaranteed she would never let it go.

As a spoiled heiress, she had a massive temper.

Back then, not only did she steal him from Nora, but she had also pressured him to delay Nora's mother's medical treatment.

If necessary, she had even wanted him to finish Grace off.

At the time, he didn't know they were sisters. He just thought Mia despised Nora because she had been his girlfriend for seven years.

Everything she did felt like extreme jealousy.

His goal was to keep Mia happy and reap the benefits of the Hayes Group, so naturally, he followed her orders.

It was the only way to win her favor and make her fall harder for him.

Now that the truth about the three of them was out, Mia's retaliation would likely be even more brutal.

But if he chose Mia, Aaron couldn't stomach the loss.

After all, he had always believed that if Nora's status could match Mia's, Nora was absolutely the perfect wife.

"Mia, I—"

As Aaron hesitated, trying to find the least damaging words.

Nora's soft voice cut in. "Sorry to interrupt."

Her speaking immediately drew everyone's attention.

Realizing what she was about to say, Aaron looked at her with pleading eyes.

He knew her too well. After seven years together, he could read her thoughts with a single glance.

"Nora, can you just let me finish?"

"Nora, don't let your emotions dictate your actions."

Suppressing his frustration, Leonard spoke in a placating tone. "I'll make sure to get justice for you regarding Aaron. Since you two have been together for seven years, don't just throw it away."

"I've been observing him. While he might be confused when it comes to relationships, he really is a promising doctor. I'm sure you recognize his abilities, or you wouldn't have stayed with him."

"It's not easy being with someone that long. Don't throw away your happiness over a moment of anger."

Aaron shot Leonard a look of profound gratitude.

He never expected Leonard to play wingman for him and Nora.

He thought this confrontation would end with him, the indecisive cheat, being condemned by Leonard regardless of who he chose.

After all, he had been juggling the man's daughters.

Who would have thought that in a bizarre twist of fate, he'd actually win Leonard's approval?

"Nora, I really know I messed up. Can't you just forgive me this once?"
