After responding, an uneasy feeling suddenly surged within him, continuously stirring in his heart.
Could it be that his godfather’s callout on Weibo is for him?
Eddy interrupted his thoughts, speaking in a low voice, "Let say this."
"Alright."
Eddy opened his mouth. Even though he was prepared, when it ca to actually telling him, he hesitated for a mont. Pressing his lips together, he said, "Linden has a fiancée."
Aiden Shaw placed his distinctly jointed hand on the table, gently rubbing his jade ring, raising an eyebrow, "I know about this."
"Do you know who his fiancée is?"
Aiden did not speak, waiting for him to continue.
"Twenty years ago, the Hawthorne and Ford families arranged an engagent. His fiancée is your current girlfriend, Tiana Thorne."
Upon hearing this, Aiden Shaw’s thumb, which had just left the jade ring, froze at the side. His deep eyes were filled with a thick ink haze, a layer of clear mist, and shock in his pupils.
He took several seconds to digest this news. After a while, he took a deep breath and asked, "Was it a marriage arranged from childhood?"
"Yes, but no one knew Poppy would have such a situation."
Aiden Shaw did not respond to him and remained silent.
His mind was filled with situations of Linden towards those suitors and the fiancée he once talked about.
It was soone else’s feelings. He had no right to intervene, yet he genuinely didn’t expect that the fiancée Linden was waiting for would be sixteen years old.
How many years has he been waiting...
He didn’t count precisely; despite this, he felt a chill inside, sowhat cold, and slightly afraid.
If he were a bit later, sixteen would et Linden Hawthorne, and from then on, their relationship would only be siblings without any romantic implications.
Just thinking about this made him frown. A strong sense of possessiveness stirred within him as he raised his gaze to look at him, eyes devoid of warmth, leaving only determination: "Even so, she is with now, and that is an unchangeable fact."
Eddy saw the possessiveness in his eyes; it was a look he hadn’t seen in him for over twenty years as if inadvertently, he had touched a boundary.
This result, he had anticipated.
"Of course, I know, but her engagent to Linden is also a fact."
"Godfather, if you are trying to persuade to break up with her, let’s stop here. Neither I nor he will let a re engagent paper lead us apart."
With sixteen, he will not back down, even if it involves his longstanding friend.
Eddy looked at the cold determination between his brows, squinting his eyes, "Even if it leads to a breakup between brothers?"
This is the worst outco.
He did not know whether Linden would let go or persist to the end. If it ca to that, a breakup is quite possible.
Aiden Shaw’s thin lips spat out words, almost rcilessly: "Even if it leads to a breakup between brothers."
He repeated what he said, but without any question, simply stating the fact.
Eddy: "..."
He had never seen soone so unyielding when digging into others’ territory. Back then, Graham Ford was courteous in his pursuit of Rouge Jarvis, but now, when it ca to Aiden Shaw, the attitude was remarkably steadfast.
Eddy originally did not want to intervene, rely to see Rouge’s attitude towards Tiana Thorne. Now that he has seen it, it is not just about protection—it’s more complicated.
It left a breath stuck in his chest, sinking his tone, "Fourth, you must realize that you are the one who arrived later. If the Hawthorne and Ford families force them to honor the engagent, you are rely a brother, and in this matter, you are powerless."
