“That’s good, Aria. If anyone bullies you again, you can hit them back. My brother says that self-defense is not illegal!” Natalie handed Aria a tissue and patted her shoulder.
Aria’s mood improved a lot. She nodded to her best friend and forced a smile.
Natalie said, “If you’re upset, you should just cry! You have no idea that your forced smile is even uglier than your crying face.”
That night, Liam Miller went home from work. He deliberately put his coat over his arm. Liam looked decent, and he was full of righteousness. He looked like a meticulous person, but when he was with Natalie, he always had a friendly smile on his face.
Being around Natalie had really made Aria feel at ease. The attentive Aria noticed the coat over Liam’s arm. She thought, ‘He does not need his coat right now, but he’s carrying it with him.’
Only when she saw Liam’s hands did Aria realize that he was deliberately using the coat to cover something in his hands.
When Natalie walked over, Aria reminded her, “Look at what your brother is holding under his coat!” When Natalie heard this, she took the clothes from her brother’s hands, catching him off guard.
Then, Liam quickly used the clothes to cover what he was holding again. He asked, “Little gluttonous cat, do you want a drink?”
“My brother is the greatest!” Liam smiled and her eyes sparkled. Her brother doted on her and gave her whatever she wanted.
Liam looked at Aria, and a trace of unpredictability flashed in his eyes. “Sugar-free, don’t worry. You guys have fun. I’ll get going now.”
Natalie took the milk tea and pulled Aria back to her room. The two of them chatted happily.
When she was with Natalie, Aria forgot that she was already married. Everything seemed to be the same as before. She was still the daughter of the Bennett family, the precious treasure that the Bennett family cherished in their hearts, the eldest daughter of the Bennett family that no one dared to provoke. She did not need to restrain her temper, and she did not need to suppress her anger.
She liked her freedom to begin with. She did not like being confined to a bedroom that was only dozens of square meters wide so that she would not get into another argument. When she was with her best friend Natalie, Aria forgot all her worries and chatted with her until it was late.
......
However, Aria did not know that the Cross family was looking everywhere for her.
Dominic realized that he could not wait any longer, so he called his subordinates and asked them to focus on the Cross family and start looking for Aria. He then called his best friend for help.
Elliott jones, who was about to go to sleep, received a call from his best friend. “What? Who’s Aria ? You’re Married? F*ck, my brother is married, and I didn’t know? What’s the situation now? Did you lose your wife?”
His string of questions gave dominic a headache. He changed from his usual cold demeanor and patiently replied, “I’m married. Aria Bennett is my woman. She’s lost now.”
“Wait, let me pinch myself. Am I dreaming?” Elliott acted like he heard a big joke. He could not come back to his senses for a long time. He simply could not believe it.
Dominic said, “I’ll give you three seconds to wake up. Get up immediately and help me look for her.”
Elliott was so shocked that he fell off the bed. He now knew that he was not dreaming. His good friend had secretly gotten married. Not only did he get married, but his wife was nowhere to be found.
Thus, a few minutes after dominic hung up, his cell phone was flooded with calls from his good friends who were living abroad. They all called to ask, “dominic, I heard from Elliott that your wife ran away with someone right after you got married?”
Dominic knew that Elliott’s big mouth would cause him trouble. If he was not so anxious, he definitely would not have told him about this.
“Brother, logically speaking, that wouldn’t happen to you! Your charm isn’t too bad. Why did your wife run off with someone else right after you got married?”
Dominic took a deep breath. “If I didn’t need Elliott now, I would definitely sew his mouth shut!” No, he would just use a strong medicine to poison him!
“I’m not angry, I’m not angry. As your good friend, I’ll go back and accompany you right now.” Mathew heard that his good friend’s wife had run away with someone else and immediately decided to check in with Dominic.
At this time, good friends needed to be by his side so they could accompany him through this period of darkness.
Matthew decided to go help, and so did three of dominic Cross’s other friends. They all claimed that they wanted to help, but in reality, they just wanted to see what kind of woman could make the great dominic settle down.
