Unveiling the Genius Behind the Divorcee novel Chapter 270

Chapter 270 Why Bother

Time flew by, and Abby’s vacation was over in the blink of an eye, and when John came to help with packing, Abby couldn’t help but shed tears.

“What’s wrong?”

John’s dislike for this little girl had turned into distress instead.

As for Abby, she didn’t say anything but silently wiped her tears.

She was a hundred times happier during her time with Aylin than when she was at her own home, and Aylin gave her the warmth of familial affection that she had never had before.

John then found Aylin. “Ms. Koch, Ms. Abby looked a little sad.”

Hearing that, Aylin stopped what she was currently doing and came to Abby’s room, and Abby threw herself in her arms when she saw Aylin, hugging her.

“Aylin…”

Aylin then stroked her head. “Good girl.”

After that, Abby raised her head. Her pretty face was stained with tears as she sobbed. “I don’t want to leave you. Why does school have to start so early?”

It turned out that Abby was reluctant to part with her.

“Abby, do you remember what I told you before?”

Aylin squatted down and looked her in the eye before continuing, “You must arm yourself with knowledge if you want to leave the home you hate, do you understand? And studying is the most important thing for you now! You can come over to play when there’s a holiday, and we’ll welcome you.”

Hearing that, Abby nodded and wiped her tears. “I-I’ll miss you too when I’m in school, but I won’t be able to see you when I get back.”

The butler then handed over a brand new phone from behind him at the right time, and the design of the phone casing was Abby’s favorite pink kitten.

With that, Aylin put the phone in the little girl’s hand. “This is a farewell gift from me, and the password to open the phone is your birthday. Contact me with it, and let me know if anyone bullies you. I’ll make sure to beat them up for you!”

Abby finally burst into tears and smiled as she took the new phone as if she had gained a treasure.

After getting along for so long, the cute and quirky little girl also brought a lot of joy and distress to Aylin.

After that, Abby specially instructed her subordinates to personally escort the little one away.

“Be careful on the road, and call me if you need anything. Study hard.”

Hearing that, Abby poked her head out and shouted, “Goodbye, Aylin! We’ll meet during my next holiday. You have to miss me!”

At this moment, she didn’t know that this almost became their last farewell.

In the CEO’s office of the Delacruz Group, Gavyn kept massaging his temples. with his hands, but the headache still didn’t ease, and the pain rushed to his temples.

He didn’t sleep well last night and dreamed intermittently all night long. Not only that, but Aylin was the star of the dream as well.

He tried hard not to think about it, but when he closed his eyes, his mind was full of the image of how Aylin was smiling beautifully and brightly at another man, but toward himself, she was distant and cold.

Gavyn’s phone rang again, and it was Steve. With that, Gavyn pressed his temples while he answered the call.

“Grandpa.”

“How is it? What kind of gift did you get Aylin? Did she like it?” Steve’s voice, which was full of expectation, came from the other end.

Gavyn could only be silent, not knowing how to answer.

Gavyn couldn’t tell Steve that he saw some other man giving Aylin the same gift he was about to give her when he went to her house, and Steve was still nagging.

“Don’t worry. Aylin must be happy. She just didn’t show it. You need to take your time to coax a woman and don’t put on airs this time. When you have the chance, ask her out for dinner and take her for a walk. You both need to get along more so that you both can bond. Do you understand?”

However, it wasn’t that Gavyn didn’t want to get along with Aylin. It was the other way around instead.

Gavyn’s headache intensified at the thought of how differently she treated the Koch family compared to him. “I got it. Don’t worry.”

The old man then said a few more words before hanging up the phone with satisfaction.

Gavyn’s bad mood was now made worse by the phone call, and he repeatedly remembered the embarrassment of being stopped outside the door when he tried to give her the gift.

He also didn’t have enough sleep and was dizzy, and he even had to force himself to review the new project for this quarter.

After the third cup of coffee, Lloyd hesitated for a moment with the cup in his hand.
