Aileen lies down and closes her eyes.
"Will you forgive me? Please give me another chance. You're not going after Richard, okay? Anything you like, I'll give it to you. Anything you want me to do, I'll do it for you. What do you want? I'll give you anything else but Richard." Aaron says to Aileen in an almost pleading tone.
In the next second, Aileen contradicts him irritably, "Will you stop rambling in my ear?"
Aaron doesn’t expect his sworn promises to make Aileen so cold and angry that she is freaking out.
"Okay, I'm not going to say anything else. You just take it easy for now. I'll go find the person you're looking for." Aaron immediately walks out after saying that.
Aileen is actually feeling miserable and torn right now. She knows she can’t give up halfway. She has to see this plan through to the end. She's already given everything away anyway. And she has nothing left to lose. What else does she have to fear?
Anyway, all of this would make things just go on. She had to make it all work.
Aaron has felt like he should have had to take pains to get Richard back. But he doesn’t expect to see Richard walking over just as he walks out.
"What are you doing here?"
"Didn't the woman you love tell you to come to me? I didn't want you to have to work so hard, so I came to you." Richard is really talking in a very arrogant and dominating tone. Aaron has just raised his fist, but he has to put it down on second thoughts.
Of course, such a scene can’t escape Richard's eyes.
"What? You want to beat me? You want to beat the man of the woman you love?" He is just trying to be deliberately sarcastic with Aaron now.
"Don't you ever say those words again!" Aaron immediately covers his ears with his hands because he feels like he is about to lose his temper.
Richard is getting even more defensive, "If you want to be a bridesmaid when the two of us get married, I'm fine with that. Whatever you want to do is fine as long as it's with her permission."
"Don't you dare talk nonsense here!" Aaron clenches his fist tightly.
"Well, I'm going to go take care of the woman you love. Don't you dare stand here and bother us again." Richard really walks right in after saying that.
It really hurts Aaron to see this. How is he supposed to save their love? Has their relationship really come to an end? He feels so much pain that he kicks the floor with his foot. And the floor seemed to whine in pain as well.
But things seem to have gotten to the point of no return. Aaron doesn’t know how long he's been waiting outside, and there is finally a noise from inside.
He doesn’t expect Richard to be the one opening the door.
"You can come in now. It was her who let you in."
Richard says just that and then strides forward.
