His Domineering Lover

"Sorry, I didn't know that." Maurice apologized. He really didn't know that Aleigha was pregnant.

After all, she was slim and not at all like a pregnant woman.

"Why did you come to me? Why didn't you go talk to Jaidyn?" Adrian asked curiously.

"I want to get back at Aubrianna, not Jaidyn. I came to you because I didn't know who else to talk to about it."

Adrian was speechless. In Maurice's eyes, he was someone he could confide in?

"I almost have no friends. I only have business partners.

"I think we're the same, and I am willing to share my secrets with you."

Maurice looked at Adrian with deep eyes.

Both of them were mind readers. Adrian looked at Maurice. Although Maurice was smiling, his eyes were unfathomable.

Maurice was testing him.

With his secret.

In an instant, Adrian knew what he wanted.

"I don't have any secrets to exchange."

Maurice turned to look the direction in which Aleigha left and said nothing.

"Mr. Faulkner, not everything can be exchanged. The story you just told me is about you and the others.

"I'm not part of it, neither is my wife. Don't hurt her. This is my last bottom line."

Adrian's bottom line was Aleigha.

"Don't worry, I won't. I just want you to take my side."

Maurice played with his tail ring again.

"I have no sides. Those who oppose me are my enemies, those who work with me are my friends.

"I never take sides.

"Take care, Mr. Faulkner."

Adrian's face darkened. Not to mention Jaidyn was his friend, he wouldn't be on Maurice's side for the reason he was here today. "Adrian, it won't benefit you to be my enemy."

"Look like you don't know what I mean. I'm not gonna get in the middle of your personal vendetta."

Maurice's lips curled up and a hint of coldness appeared in his deep eyes. "You mean, no matter what I do to Jaidyn, you won't stop me." Adrian didn't say anything, but his eyes grew colder. He was not sure if he would help Jaidyn.

"Before I knew everything, Jaidyn was a good partner to me. But later, things changed.

"I don't know if I should hate him. However, the best way to deal with Aubrianna is to torture Jaidyn, just like what she did to my mother." "Off you go, Mr. Faulkner."

Adrian didn't want to talk to him anymore.

He had neither the time nor the energy to get involved. It was just that Jaidyn was his friend.

Maurice left. Adrian had already answered his question indirectly.

In the room, Aleigha was curled up under the covers. She still felt awful.

Perhaps it was because she was pregnant.

As soon as Adrian walked to her door, his cell phone rang.

"Adrian, are you crazy? Don't you know who Maurice is? Are you really going to go against him for Jaidyn?"

Tanner's roar rang out.

"Tanner, I don't want to explain." "Adrian, you angered Maurice, which means you're gonna be the enemy of everyone. The Faulkner family is not as easy to deal with as Alexzander. "I suggest you think twice."

"No need. Jaidyn's innocent. Aubrianna threw Maurice in the ocean before he was born."

"Lunatic, you're impossible!"

Before Tanner could finish, Adrian hung up the phone.

He came in. Aleigha, who was sitting on the bed, looked at him.

"Why don't you lie down?"

Adrian walked to him and hugged her.

"Maurice wants to deal with Jaidyn? You're going to help Jaidyn, aren't you?"

Adrian didn't say anything and only hugged her even tighter.

"I'll take you to my parents' place. You'll be very safe there."

"No, I'm not leaving. Adrian, I can help you."

Adrian sighed and kissed her hair. It was a long time before he said, "Aleigha, it's harder to deal with Maurice than you think."

"We won't get any benefits even if we help Jaidyn."

"So what? I'm your wife and Jaidyn has helped me so many times. We owe him.

"What's more, I am not afraid of Maurice."

Adrian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Dummy, what did Jaidyn give you?"

"Nothing. He always asks me for money after he helps me. What a business man!"

Holding Aleigha in his arms, Adrian instantly calmed down. His thoughts became clearer.

As long as he was with her, he had the energy to deal with everything.

In the afternoon, Adrian received a call from Jaidyn.

"Take Aleigha to my place tonight."

Jaidyn spoke with a hint of helplessness and fatigue in his tone.

Adrian answered with a hum and hung up the phone.

"Why does he sound so helpless?"

"I'm afraid it's Aubrianna's idea. Why don't you stay at home tonight?"

Adrian was a little worried about Aleigha's health.

"I'll go with you. I guess I'm the one Aubrianna wants to see. After all, in her eyes, I have a crush on her son."

At Jaidyn's villa.

Jaidyn bought this villa at a high price because his mom asked to live with him.

This time, Jeremiah didn't come back.

Jaidyn and Aubrianna were sitting at the two ends of the table respectively. They had been living together for a few days, but it seemed that nothing had changed.

Adrian's car slowly went into the villa, and the servant took them in.

"Come on. Take a seat."

Jaidyn stood up to welcome them, and Aubrianna glared at him.

However, he automatically ignored it and walked up to Adrian and Aleigha.

"What's the matter?"

Adrian looked at Jaidyn, completely ignoring Aubrianna.

"Hey, I'm still here."

Aubrianna was talking to Adrian, but her eyes were on Aleigha.

"Sorry, we only see people who deserve respect." Aleigha looked at Aubrianna with a smile.

A flash of doubt flashed across Jaidyn's eyes.

It seemed that he didn't know much about what Aubrianna had done.

Adrian still refused to talk to Aubrianna. He acted as if she were not here.

"Aleigha, right? I came to see you that day just for my son. Since you are not interested in my son, you should see him less."

Aubrianna looked at Aleigha seriously. She was as unfriendly as before.

"I'm sorry I have to see him often. We're business partners and we meet each other to make more money."

Aleigha put on a faint smile and retorted without hesitation.
