Chapter 241 Apologizing for That Night
However, this idea was quickly dismissed by Gavyn.
Aylin was not only a legendary hacker who could compete with him, but also possessed exceptional medical skills in emergency situations, saving Wesley from the brink of death. This was extraordinary, far beyond what an ordinary person could do. If she had also concocted this strange fragrance, that would
be too incredible!
One should know that hacking skills had absolutely nothing to do with
medicine or perfume making. This was way too interdisciplinary and simply impossible!
Gavyn gently pinched the small sachet, pursed his lips for a moment, and then
spoke again.
“If you happen to remember, please let me know as soon as possible.”
“Okay.”
Aylin’s response was completely soulless.
As Daniel watched from the side, he felt a mix of pride and complexity in his
heart.
He knew all too well that the sachet was Aylin’s handiwork, especially since
she had just asked him to remake it yesterday.
However, as he glanced at the disheartened Gavyn, he realized that Gavyn had disappointed Aylin first. To Gavyn, this minor setback was still considered
light:
After all, Gavyn was the one who was clueless and overlooked Aylin.
It was hard to say whether it was because of spending too much time with Aylin and Robert, but Daniel found himself somewhat mischievously looking forward to the day when Gavyn would discover the truth. Daniel would love to
witness his reaction.
It must be very exciting, right?
Gavyn signed the contract swiftly, his handwriting strong and forceful yet crisp and elegant. Aylin couldn’t help but glance at it several times, ultimately unable to resist complimenting his beautiful penmanship.
It was often said that one’s handwriting reflects their character. Just by looking at these characters, one could tell that they possessed a temperament created from his prominent standing, for it was dignified yet restrained.
Aylin picked up the pen and swiftly signed her name next to the man’s. The
approval she had for him dissipated as the final stroke was completed.
Gavyn is indeed an excellent businessman and partner, but that’s all he’ll ever
I won’t have any other thoughts about him.
“Here’s to a pleasant collaboration.” Aylin extended her hand first.
Gavyn extended his slender fingers and shook hands with the woman. “Pleasure working with you.”
The gentle touch lingered for a moment before slipping away.
Aylin withdrew her hand and smiled politely, creating a sense of distance.
“It’s getting late, and it’s almost time for lunch. I won’t keep you all here any longer. Daniel, please see them out for me.”
She wants to kick me out that badly?
“Wait a moment.” Gavyn, holding onto the lingering warmth on his fingertips, interrupted Daniel’s motion to stand up and see him off.
Aylin frowned. “Does Mr. Delacruz have something else?”
Gavyn was not really busy; he just felt uneasy in his heart.
Throughout the entire time, Aylin maintained a flawless, polite expression
toward him, without a hint of any unnecessary emotions.
Indeed, her action was perfect in the business world, but he couldn’t help but
think of those tender, gentle eyes that once held such a delicate and flowing
warmth.
“Since it’s already time to eat, I’d like to invite Ms. Koch to join me for lunch.”
Gavyn thought for a while and came up with an excuse.
Have lunch?
Upon hearing this, Aylin pursed her lips. She had never seen him being such a gentleman in her three years of marriage.
“No. I don’t have much of an appetite today.”
If it were the her from the past, she would have been overjoyed and at a loss
for words when faced with Gavyn’s friendly gestures. But now, she was
unwilling to get entangled unnecessarily with Gavyn.
“You don’t have to eat greasy food. I know a great Japanese restaurant with fresh ingredients and light flavors that you should enjoy,” Gavyn suggested without showing any obvious signs of annoyance. Instead, he offered a
solution.
Seeing his sudden serious expression, Aylin couldn’t help but find it amusing.
“Why does Mr. Delacruz insist on me going?”
This was originally a slightly mocking rhetorical question, but unexpectedly,
Gavyn answered it quite seriously.
He looked at Aylin, his deep black eyes sincere and serious. “I want to
apologize for my behavior last night.”
Aylin’s mouth stiffened at the corner.
Daniel and Lloyd exchanged glances, clearly both intrigued.
BTM
They were Aylin and Gavyn’s confidants, having heard about their pasts and always supporting them. At this moment, they were extremely curious about what had happened between them last night.
Why did Mr. Delacruz get drunk and pass out last night, going to bed without even taking a bath?
Why did Ms. Koch return home late at night with an unhappy expression on her face?

It was said that Daniel and Lloyd were the first employees to reach a consensus for the Delacruz Group and the Koch Group to unite. Of course, this consensus only applies to that day.
Daniel didn’t want to rudely interrupt their conversation, but Aylin caught a glimpse of him from the corner of her eye. Daniel’s gaze was filled with a profound curiosity.
Lloyd blurted out, “So Ms. Koch was with Mr. Delacruz together last night. No wonder Mr. Delacruz was acting like that all night…”
Gavyn turned his head and shot Lloyd a sharp glance. Realizing he couldn’t expose Gavyn’s indecency, Lloyd hurriedly clamped his mouth shut.
What happened to him last night?
Aylin’s expression turned sour.
However, what was even more displeasing for her was when Gavyn brought up
the events of last night, apologizing for something they both knew very
well.
Inebriated, Gavyn’s mind was clouded as he pressed her against the wall and forcefully kissed her!
Damn it.
Aylin got furious just thinking about it. How dare Gavyn bring it up in front of
others! Is he asking for a beating?
What a jerk! During our collaboration, he was well-dressed and gentle. As
soon as the discussion was over, he started to annoy me!
Aylin gritted her teeth. “Fine, we can eat. It’s not a big deal.
Considering Gavyn’s fondness for collecting during auctions, he would
definitely treasure the zardozi work as a beloved item. Thus, there was no way
he would bear to give it as a gift for someone else.
Aylin said this on purpose.

The readers' comments on the novel: Unveiling The Genius Behind The Divorce
Terrible ending, so she has helped out a model and an actor get started. Her “brothers” are not protecting her, her ex loves her dearly and she loves him but has never bothered to tell him what happened to her with amnesia to clear the air on their marriage that could be fixed the second time around. Readers want the romance and love of the story, not ridiculous violence, manipulation and deception. Make it right, finish the story with a grand wedding and a child of their own....
Come-on, her not knowing anything about herself and he knowing nothing about her, any wealthy man would think that way. Aylin is being totally unfair to Gavyn as it was his mother and sister who were deliberately lying to him and treating her like crap. Make it right!...
Wow, enough… why do you make the heroine out to be a hooker and allow the bixens to look like upstanding women? Shameless. Get the two who actually love each other back together and stop the nonsense. Since when does a mother arrange for her son’s wife, despicable. And rather sickening, obviously Gavyn’s mother is an idiot!...
Relationships based on lies… despicable women.. find the newsreel where Alton was actually the one who saved Gavyn and send it to him. Leila needs to go...
It's been almost a year since the last chapter. Is this story going to be completed?...
