1029: Chapter 1027: Alas, What a Pity 1029: Chapter 1027: Alas, What a Pity Aria Rowlett was also surprised.
She didn’t expect that Brandon Heath could be so domineering deep down.
He appeared so gentlemanly, so courteous.
He was the picture of a fine gentleman.
It was hard to imagine that he could also impose his will on others.
“So it was all a misunderstanding.” Ria, who initially was so delighted that Brandon Heath finally t a woman, was now equally disappointed that it all turned out to be her misunderstanding.
She looked at the extraordinarily attractive girl in front of her, her heart filled with regret.
This girl was such a perfect match for Mr.
Ashton.
And he indeed treated her remarkably well.
Given Mr.
Ashton’s character, the fact that he coerced her suggested that he truly liked this girl.
For the first ti in her life, Mr.
Ashton was interested in a woman.
Did the woman not like him in return?
Mr.
Ashton was blessed with good looks, family background, and outstanding professional abilities.
Ms.
Aria, why don’t you like him?
Ria genuinely liked Aria Rowlett, and honestly hoped that she and Brandon Heath could end up together, she asked wishfully, almost desperately, “Ms.
Aria, what do you think is wrong with Mr.
Ashton?
Is it because he is too busy with work, and you are worried that he won’t have much ti to spend with you?”
“Mrs.
Rose Lawrence, Mr.
Ashton is wonderful, with excellent qualifications.
I said that we cannot be together, not only because of his work but also many other factors.
In short, I’m not the person suited for him.”
“I think we should just be friends.”
“So, Ms.
Aria, you don’t like Mr.
Ashton at all?” Ria sighed regretfully, “But I think Mr.
Ashton likes you very much.
Won’t you reconsider, Ms.
Aria?
No matter what the problem is, as long as the two people like each other, they can overco it.”
Aria was silent.
Of course, she had a good impression of Brandon Heath.
But that hint of affection was not enough to make her let go of all her concerns and accept him.
When she saw that Aria did not speak anymore, Ria thought she had asked sothing she shouldn’t have and upset Aria.
She quickly said, “Ms.
Aria, I am not asking too many questions, am I?
If you are unhappy…”
“No,” Aria held Ria’s hand and hurriedly continued, “I’m not upset.
Mrs.
Rose Lawrence, Mr.
Ashton is really very good and outstanding, but we truly are not suited to be together.
You may be disappointed and I’m sorry for that.”
“Ah, it really is a pity.” Ria knew that forcing a relationship wouldn’t work.
Although she felt it was a great pity, she had to accept reality.
“Well, even if you and Mr.
Ashton can’t beco lovers, you can still be friends.
Ms.
Aria, you can still co here often for a visit.
Mr.
Ashton seldom returns ho, and this big house is very cold and empty.
Ms.
Aria, do promise to accompany this old woman often.”
“Mrs.
Rose Lawrence, I will.”

Forty minutes later.
Aria Rowlett sat in the hall, drinking coffee with Ria when she heard a car noise outside.
“Mr.
Ashton has returned,” Ria’s face brightened as she rose, “Ms.
Aria, shall we go out and see?
I’m sure Mr.
Ashton has co back.”
Aria nodded, stood up, and walked out with Ria.
As soon as they left the building, they saw a black Rolls-Royce parked near the front fountain.
The driver got out first and went to the back to open the door.
Brandon Heath got out of the back seat.
He was dressed formally in a white shirt and black trousers and wore a black tie.
