Aileen trembles slightly, she turns around and asks, "What did you mean by what you just said? Also, what was the important thing you wanted to tell me yesterday? ?"
She doesn’t know what is wrong with herself, she really wants to listen to Aaron.
"I..." Just after Aaron says the first word, Richard walks over and pulls Aileen over.
"We don't have much time left. We must leave soon." Richard’s expression is particularly anxious, as if there really is something important.
"What is it?" Aileen feels a little confused.
Richard touches the hair on her forehead with his hand and tucks them behind her ears. The gesture was very gentle. Then, his voice that is magnetising sounds in her ears.
"Don't you remember? Today is our engagement day, and tonight is our engagement dinner."
When she watches him speak in this state of total seriousness, Aileen now becomes expressionless, because she seems to be used to Richard's demanding way. And it's almost faster than lightning. But at the same time, she is still not used to it at all.
Aaron on the other hand comes running to them, unwilling to let her go.
"Although you are an investor in this movie, it does not mean that you can do whatever you want with her. Please don't make it difficult for others. Just look at her, she doesn't want to leave with you at all." Aaron sees through Aileen at a glance. The reluctance on her face is too obvious.
He doesn’t think about it much more, he walks forward and grabs Aileen's hand.
Aileen is a little surprised, she really never expects that he will do such a thing. This is completely inconsistent with his usual behavior.
“You seem to know my fiance very well." Richard's tone is full of disdain, and then he looks at Aileen suspiciously.
Aileen suddenly becomes even more confused.
"I just don't want her to be unhappy." Aaron says very seriously, "This is about her lifelong happiness, so let her choose. You can’t just take her away like that."
"Then choose by yourself." Richard looks at Aileen confidently.
In the end, Aileen points to Richard.
Aaron can only stay back, and watch her walking away from him.
Although Aileen follows him away, she can’t help but look back at Aaron, who looks lost and lonely, not knowing why she feels a tiny heartache. She obviously likes Richard, he is her lifesaver. Why does she still feel so depressed?
