"I’ve run into a bit of trouble here, I’m trapped," the urgency evident in Brandon Heath’s voice. "Ria called just now, saying sothing might have happened at ho and asked to rush back. What exactly has happened? Aria, don’t lie to , I’m really worried about you."
"Did mom go to see you? What did she want with you?"
Aria Rowlett remains silent, unable to speak for a mont.
Outside, the sound of knocking can be heard again. One knock after another, growing more frantic and aggressive.
Brandon hears the knocking sound again on his side and speaks; his cool tone having a hint of anger and anxiety, "Aria, speak. What did mom want from you, is soone knocking on the door outside, what exactly happened?"
"Are you trying to kill with worry?"
Aria originally had no intention of harming the relationship between Brandon and Lady Octavia.
But now, so things can’t be changed even if she doesn’t want them to.
She initially thought that even if Lady Octavia disliked her, she was after all carrying the bloodline of the Heath family in her belly. For the sake of their child, she believed Lady Octavia wouldn’t do anything to her.
But she was wrong.
She had thought too highly of Lady Octavia’s kindness.
With things having co to this point, she had nothing left to lose.
No matter what.
She had to protect herself and the baby in her belly.
No one would be allowed to harm Aria and her kid.
"Brandon Heath, your mother knows about you withdrawing from the General Election. She thinks I asked you to do it. She brought a group of bodyguards here, and the knocking sound you heard just now was those bodyguards banging on the door outside."
"I’m currently hiding in your study, I have no idea how long that door can hold. And I am unaware of where your mother will order the bodyguards to take , and what they will do to and the child in my belly. Brandon Heath, to be honest, I’m really scared right now." Aria isn’t usually a fearful person, but now she was truly scared.
She thought Brandon would soon be ho.
But then, he said he was stuck, and suddenly her heart beca fraught with worry.
She wasn’t as brave as she thought she was.
When danger ca, she too would be afraid and anxious.
As Aria speaks, her voice starts to choke up. "Brandon Heath, I do not know what I have done wrong. Why does your mother think I have hard you? Tell , are we really not compatible?"
"Did I truly harm you? If you’re not with , you wouldn’t have to make the decision to withdraw from the General Election right?"
So, just like what Lady Octavia said.
She really was a scapegoat huh.
She hindered Brandon Heath’s bright future.
"What are you talking about?" Brandon’s voice deepens, "Aria, no matter what my mother said to you, don’t take it to heart. Rember, you’re my wife, Brandon Heath’s wife. You’re with , not anyone else."
"As for how you are, I know better than anyone. I’ve said before, everything was my decision. You haven’t affected in any way. It doesn’t matter what others think of you, you just need to care about my opinion. Don’t overthink, don’t worry, I’ll be back as soon as possible."
"The study door has been specially reinforced. As long as you don’t open the door, no one can enter. Stay inside and wait for , I’ll be there by your side in ten minutes, at the latest. Aria, trust , I’ll protect you and our baby."
