But upon second thought—
No way, her outfits are so carefully chosen, people will imdiately see through her intentions, especially soone like Aiden Jiang, with his calm and composed deanor, he’d surely understand her attitude at once.
Might as well dress simply and plainly, making it clear that she doesn’t care much about him.
Understanding her own thoughts, Mia Ginger couldn’t help but smile slightly, thinking that her own mother was really overthinking.
Aiden’s new appointnt, and in a place like Peace, the frequency of their phone calls is already a clear indication of his attitude.
Especially—
Aiden is already over fifty.
Her own mother is only in her forties, and she looks young enough for people to believe she’s in her thirties.
Moreover, she has such a big company backing her.
In this relationship, who’s at an advantage and who’s at a disadvantage is obvious, isn’t it?
Yet she seems lacking in confidence.
Mia Ginger sighed deeply.
——
Just after six, three of them arrived at the airport.
As soon as they entered the waiting hall, they could see Aiden Jiang and Mason Sutton approaching from afar.
More than half a month had passed, and neither of the two had changed at all; both wore black suits, Aiden was calm and elegant, while Mason’s smile was like a spring breeze.
"Dad, Brother Sutton."
Mia Ginger, being the youngest, greeted them with a smile as soon as they t.
Aiden looked at her, raised his hand to rub her hair, and asked, "You look pretty good, feeling better?"
"Yeah, planning to return to school the day after tomorrow."
"Good." Aiden smiled, lifted his gaze to Aurora Cooper, and said warmly, "I’m back."
"Hmm." Aurora looked at him, seemingly a bit restrained from the long absence and their unfamiliarity, smiled and said, "Let’s head ho first, I’ve asked the family to prepare dinner for you as a welco."
"We really appreciate it." Mason replied with a smile, "The old man at ho is waiting, so I won’t be joining you."
"Not coming?" Aurora was montarily stunned.
"Quite a pity." Mason chuckled, "But there will be chances in the future to co by for a al."
He’s not foolish, knowing that a leader’s family gathering is not the ti for him to mingle.
Especially—
The leader seems to have other plans.
Aurora didn’t think much of it, walking alongside and said, "Then next ti when you have ti, make sure to co over for dinner."
Unconsciously, she assud the role of hostess while inviting.
Aiden lowered his eyes to look at her, feeling rather pleased.
It was the first ti in so many years that such a simple attitude from a woman made him extrely joyful, he couldn’t help but smile.
Soon they arrived outside.
Mason bid farewell to them and left with a cousin who had co to pick him up.
Mia Ginger reached the car, quickly getting into the passenger seat before Aiden and Aurora could speak, feeling her face flushed.
For so reason, walking beside Aurora earlier made her feel like a glaringly bright lightbulb, extrely awkward.
Seeing her seated in the front, Aiden naturally opened the rear car door for Aurora to enter first.
Then he got in himself.
Driver Uncle King started the car, and the few of them headed ho.
A little past six, the sky gradually turned blue.
The four of them sat silently in the car.
Driver Uncle King wasn’t much of a talker, and Mia Ginger in the front seat refrained from leaning forward to speak, gazing out the window, pretending to sleep.
