NovelEnglishChapter 71
Aria knocked on the door and Rosie opened it almost immediately. She must have seen her coming from the window.
Aria walked in silently with teary eyes, it looked like she had been holding back the tears for a while because she couldn’t fight it
anymore, she burst into tears and slumped on the couch.
She had gotten so emotional after seeing Oliver again, it had brought back all the good old memories she had with him. The
nostalgia that accompanies that reminisce swept through her and left her sobbing.
How she itched to touch his hairy cheeks and caress his face, how she badly wanted to hug him and be in his arms, how she
was hungry to taste his lips again; but she believed that it was not what was best for her life, she just had to focus on her career
and her child because love is not for her.
If she got back together with Oliver, then there is no doubt that he might choose his family over her a second time if such a
situation were to come up. She believed that no matter how much he loved her, she would never be his priority and she didn’t
want to be broken again.
If staying away from Oliver meant she wouldn’t experience the pain and suffering she had experienced seven years ago, then
that was the best decision to make. She would rather live with the pain of not being with him than knowing that he broke her a
third time; if there happens to be a third time, then she doubts that she would be able to stand back again, and that would affect
her career and life badly.
“You are still in love with him, aren’t you?” Rosie finally broke the silence. She was standing in front of Aria and she could tell that
it was because of Oliver that Aria was crying.
Arianna was silent to that question for a while, then she sniffed in and cleaned her eyes with a small towel she held. “No Rose, it
“Don’t lie to me Aria, we may have been apart for seven years but I can still see right through you. It’s obvious that you miss
Oliver; you are still very much in love with him,” she stated.
“That is not true Rosie, if I was in love with him, then I would have returned a long time ago. Those days are far gone Rosie, so
please let’s not talk about this,” she said in denial.
Rosie sighed and waved her head. “Fine then, I just don’t want to see you crying like a wet bag,” she muttered.
“Huh? A wet bag?” Aria asked and chuckled. That just made no sense to her, but of course this was Rosie, and most of the
things she said made sense to only her.
“Yeah, forget about that, what are our plans?” she asked and smiled.
“Um... I don’t know, you are the event planner here, my job is to accompany you while we do whatever you wish,” Aria replied
and laughed.
“Fine then, let us go shopping.” Rosie suggested.
“Okay, shopping it is, then.” Aria said in agreement.
These two might have grown a lot more mature while they were away from each other, but their friendship had not weakened in
the slightest form.

Sammy arrives at the Gomez mansion and without knocking, he walks inside. He was dressed up already and wanted to find out
if Aria had already arrived. He knew that Oliver would be curious about the surprise he had told him the previous day. He would
be anxious to know what it is about.
If Aria doesn’t show up, then Oliver is certainly going to kill him for wasting his time. He had found out about Aria’s return from
Rosie and he was quite sure that she would come here the moment she arrived.
morning. He really wanted his best friend to reunite with the love of his life, so that he could have the old Oliver back.
Even though Oliver had changed a bit from his mean grumpy attitude and he had stopped locking himself up everyday after
work, thanks to Grandpa’s idea of bringing him back to the casino, Sammy was still worried that Oliver was still one depressed,
bitter man. He needed to see the light again, he needed the sweetness that was once in his life, the joy that used to dwell in his
heart.
This sadistic version of him was nothing to write home about. But if he gets back with the love of his life, then it will bring about a
lot of change.
First of all, he would be happy again, secondly... his family would be united, also the servants would come back like they have
prayed for the past seven years. Also, things would get even much better at work because Oliver would regain control of the fifty
percent share he had given to Aria.
As a ghost shareholder, her account was growing larger but she was not even making use of the money so it would be better if it
was used for business expansion. Not like he was in need of money, but adding more funds to the company would help it rise
even more.
Sammy walked into the sitting room and caught a scent in the air, it was unusual, and he had not perceived such scent in that
house before so he was certain that it was a stranger, but who could it be? Could it be Aria?
“Hey stop there!” he heard a sweet soft, feminine voice order him and he paused on his tracks.
He looked around and saw her sitting on a couch, he wrinkled his face, wondering who she was and what she was doing there.
She stood up and walked to him like a soldier, with a stern face. “Who are you?” she queried.
Sammy scratched his head and looked around, he wasn’t in the wrong house, was he? Did Oliver sell the house overnight or
what?
“Um... young lady, the question is, who are you?” he asked back and she crumpled her face.
“No Mr. I asked you first, and I have every right to do so, now tell me who you are!” she instructed nonchalantly with a solemn
expression..
Sammy wondered if she was really a little girl or a human robot. Imagine her audacity! He had not seen such boldness in a child
before.
