Chapter 70
With his personality, after his sister died, the Blackwood family only went bankrupt, but she was still alive, so Aveline should be grateful.
But Ryan won’t be so lucky. Aveline shook her head. “It’s not like that, senior. You shouldn’t have gotten
involved in this mess.”
Ryan left in a hurry, not even taking
her shoulders with both hands.
This coat. He took off his own coat and put it on Aveline, holding
“Aveline, I know he has caused you a lot of harm. I don’t expect you to agree to be with me, I just want to spend the remaining days with you and take care of you. Please give me a chance, even if it’s just as
friends.”
His pleading made Aveline’s heart chaotic. The better Ryan treated her, the more she couldn’t drag him into this mess.
“Ryan, I understand your good intentions, but he…
Before Aveline could finish her sentence, she caught sight of a black figure standing not far away. He looked at them coldly, like a grim reaper.
Alexander spoke to Aveline, “Come here.”
Aveline noticed that the man’s possessiveness hadn’t diminished, but had even increased compared to
before their divorce.
Ryan quickly stood in front of her, warily looking at Alexander. “Mr. Sterling, you’re already divorced. Please stop hurting her.”
Alexander didn’t answer Ryan. His deep eyes focused on Aveline’s coat and he repeated, “Take it off and come here.”
Like a master giving orders, if it weren’t for Ryan, Aveline would have turned and left. Just thinking about the threat at the dinner table, others might not know, but Alexander was definitely capable of doing it.
She gritted her teeth, suppressing the humiliation in her eyes, and took off Ryan’s coat.
“Ryan, I told you not to worry about me anymore.”
Chapter 70
Ryan was puzzled, “You’re already divorced!”
Aveline didn’t answer and handed the coat to Ryan before turning to leave. “Ryan, I told you that I’m not worthy of your kindness. Please don’t waste any more time on me.
Ryan saw her back filled with helplessness and reached out to grab her wrist. “Aveline, I can help you.”
“Jordan, cut off his hand,” Alexander coldly ordered.
A dark figure emerged from the shadows, it was Jordan approaching Ryan.
Aveline quickly broke free from Ryan’s grip and blocked Jordan’s path, saying to Alexander, “If anything happens to him, I will give my life in return. Alexander, leave him alone. I told you that I have nothing to do with him.”
Alexander pursed his thin lips, lifted his chin, and looked down at her without saying a word.
Aveline had no choice but to walk quickly to his side. The coat, warm with his body temperature, slipped off her shoulders and tightly wrapped around her thin body.
It was like his prison. As long as he didn’t let go, even after the divorce, it would forever envelop her.
Ryan’s hands hung weakly at his sides as he tried to console Alexander. “Mr. Sterling, I don’t know what your intentions are towards Aveline, but she…”
“Ryan, you should go back,” Aveline interrupted him.
Ryan glanced at the two of them and said the last words, “Just treat her better and don’t hurt her.”
Alexander lifted Aveline’s chin with his finger and spoke in a cold and indifferent voice, “What did he want to say? What’s wrong with you?”
