"What's wrong?"
When Cathy saw his face change, she turned to look at his phone.
Before she could take a peek, he had already put away his phone. He said, "I suddenly have something to do. Go in alone."
After he finished speaking, he strode away without waiting for Cathy to respond.
In a hotel.
In a private room.
When William walked in, he saw that Aubrey was already sitting inside.
He was wearing a black shirt, highlighting his ivory-like skin even more. The moment he saw William walk in, his expression became even more stern and thunderous.
"Didn't you accompany Cathy to the playground? It's over so soon?" William was slightly surprised and asked.
Aubrey did not respond and drank by himself.
However, after William came in, his brows became even tighter.
His eyebrows almost touched each other from how he was furrowing them.
William saw that he would not say anything, so he did not ask any more questions. He sat across from him and poured wine for himself.
He was used to wearing white clothes, and coupled with his mellow and calm temperament, he looked like an ancient scholar.
Aubrey's gaze fell on him.
The more he looked at him, the darker his gaze get.
"Do you like Navier?" He asked.
William's pouring action paused, but it was only for a few seconds.
"Yeah." He gave an affirmative answer.
Aubrey's fingers tightened as he gripped the cup, his finger bones turning blue and white!
The slender cup's neck was almost broken by him!
"Such a dirty woman, what exactly do you like about her?" He asked coldly, his teeth clenching. "When did your vision become so bad?"
William's grip on the glass also tightened a little, and a little displeasure appeared on his calm face.
His displeasure was due to Aubrey's evaluation of Navier.
However, he did not say it. Instead, he smiled lightly, "I think my vision has improved. In your mind, Navier is a dirty woman, but in my opinion, her whole body is glowing with golden light."
Aubrey's body froze for a while, and there was doubt in his eyebrows.
Even though Navier had changed a lot after their divorce, he definitely did not think that this woman would glow with golden light.
"When did you fall in love with her?" He asked pretending to be indifferent.
William squinted his eyes, his long eyelashes concealing his emotions, and thought carefully, "When did I start falling in love with her? Probably when she knelt on the ground covered in blood and begged the doctor to draw her blood to save her daughter. And when the doctor refused, she bit her arm and fed her daughter with blood."
Aubrey's lips were fixed on the edge of the cup.
After a while, he slowly raised his head and looked at William in shock.
He had said this before, but it was not as clear as tonight.
Did Navier really do that?
William was trapped in his memory and did not pay attention to his reaction. He continued, "In other people's eyes, she was crazy, but in my eyes, she was a mother and only a child."
"She may have made mistakes before, but how could a woman who can give this much to her child be so bad?"
"Saving her daughter without even caring for her life is enough to show that she loves this child tremendously. I think that kind of woman is worth loving with all your heart."
Cough! Hold up!
Aubrey suddenly choked on his drink, and he coughed fiercely.
The discomfort in his throat made his heart and lungs twitch, causing him to feel horrible pain!
It was only now that he suddenly realized that the reason why Navier had forcibly tied him up back then, was perhaps not because of profit, but because of...love!
Therefore, the cautiousness that she had shown in the past was not to ingratiate with him, but to love him from the bottom of her heart!
The more he thought about it, the harder he coughed.
The pain in his chest was getting worse!
