Having finally resolved his second son’s marriage, Old Master Cross’s complexion seemed much better. He sat down at the main seat and did not see Dominic Cross. He asked, “Where’s Dominic? Tell him to come downstairs for dinner.”
Aria Cross lowered her head and did not say a word, pretending she did not hear him.
Seeing this, the butler could only say, “Old Master, young master left last night. He said that he had something to deal with at the company.”
“What? He went to the company on his wedding night? Didn’t I tell you not to let him leave? Why didn’t anyone tell me!” Old Master Cross was furious.
Sarah Cross said sarcastically, “dominic Cross doesn’t like to be at home to begin with. Now that there’s a woman he doesn’t like in the room. Naturally, he would stay far away.”
Edward slammed the table. “Shut up!” He could not stand his wife’s behavior. He stopped eating and directly pulled Sarah away.
Old Master Cross said angrily, “call Dominic Cross and get him to come back!”
The butler quickly replied, “Yes, sir.”
Edward Cross pulled Sarah Cross back to the bedroom. “SARAH CROSS, don’t think that I don’t know what you’re thinking. You’re not satisfied with Aria Bennett marrying into the Cross family, but don’t forget that you’re only Dominic’s sister-in-law. You have no right to interfere in dominic’s marriage! Also, get rid of your little plans as soon as possible. Whatever Dennis Cross wants to do in the future is Dennis's business. Don’t interfere recklessly.”
“What do you mean? What do I have planned? Edward, I’ve been married to you for twenty years. Don’t tell me that you think more of Aria Bennett who just got here?” Sarah Cross was furious. “What do you mean by getting Dominic a wife? I think getting Dominic a wife is a lie. You wanted to trick Aria Bennett into the Cross family so that you can satisfy your own desires!”
“Shut up!” Edward Cross gritted his teeth. He raised his hand and almost hit Sarah Cross in the face. He was so angry that his breathing became heavier. “Don’t let me hear you say something like that again. Otherwise, you know the consequences.”
Looking at Edward Cross’s back as he left, Sarah Cross was crying so hard that she was out of breath. It was all Aria Bennett’s fault. She had just married into the Cross family and she had already caused her to quarrel with her husband! Disaster! Slut!
The innocent Aria Cross, who had just been labeled as a disaster, was dozing off as she accompanied Old Master Cross to wait for dominic Cross’s return. However, as she waited, she did not see Dominic Cross. Instead, she saw a beautiful woman.
......
Aria Cross looked at Old Master Cross in confusion and tried to ask who she was with her eyes.
Old Master Cross’s expression was unsightly, but the relationship between the Cross family and the John family made it impossible for him to turn a blind eye to mary john. He could only say, “Why are you here, mary John? Quick, sit down.”
Mary John? This name sounded a little familiar.
When Mary John entered the house, the first thing she saw was Aria Bennett, who was sitting next to Old Master Cross. She had been to the Cross family’s house many times, but she had never seen someone like Aria Bennett here. In that case, she could only be the wife that Dominic had married yesterday.
Mary endured the pain in her heart and said with a smile, “Uncle, I’m here to meet sister-in-law.”
“Looking for Sarah? I’ll get Aria Cross to help you call her down.” Old Master Cross was a shrewd person. Mary had come to the Cross family’s house many times, but he had never let her go up to the second floor. She was only allowed to move around on the first floor. Most of the Cross family lived on the second floor, so the second floor was considered a private area. Only acknowledged members of the Cross family could go upstairs.
Thus, every time Old Master Cross spoke, he would take a roundabout way to express his stance. Letting Aria Cross go up to call her meant that Aria was recognized as a member of the Ji family.
Aria Cross keenly sensed the atmosphere between Old Master Cross and mary john. She cleverly stood up and said with a smile, “Okay, Dad. Then I’ll go upstairs and ask sister-in-law to come down.”
The way she addressed him made Old Master Cross extremely satisfied. “Go on.”
When Aria Cross knocked on sarah cross’s door, Sarah Cross’s eyes were still red. Aria Cross pretended that she did not see that. “Sister-in-law, someone named mary is downstairs waiting for you.”
Hearing that mary had come, Sarah’s eyes lit up. When she saw Aria cross’s calm expression, a trace of resentment flashed through her eyes. She deliberately said, “Is that so? Mary should be looking for dominic, right? The two of them were... Hey, look, why am I talking about this? Dominic is already married. Let bygones be bygones.”
‘What did she mean by...’
Aria Cross pondered for a moment. She did not care that mary john and dominic cross were having an affair, but sarah cross clearly said this to annoy her. She could not let her get what she wanted. Thinking of this, Aria smiled and nodded. “That’s right. If the relationship didn’t work out, I guess they weren’t meant to be. There’s no other way to say it.”
Sarah choked. With an unfriendly expression, she walked past Aria Cross and went downstairs. She deliberately raised her voice and said to mary john, “mary, you’re here to see dominic, right? Unfortunately, he didn’t come home last night.”
Mary john's gaze turned from Aria Bennett to Sarah Cross. She stood up and said, “Sister-in-law, I’m not here to look for Dominic, and...” She paused for a moment before speaking again. She pretended to be embarrassed and lowered her head. “I know Dominic isn’t home. We were at Creekside Villa last night.”
