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?"
