Chapter 1224
The Divorced Billionaire Heiress
Chapter 1224 Donât Come Back Until You Coax Her
Grantâs face flushed in embarrassment. âThat was for workâ¦â Nicole snorted. âEven Logan didnât go for
something trivial like liaising with the companies below, but you ran over eagerly. What other reason
could it be besides to find Aida?â Aida slowly stood up. Her eyes were already a little red. Grant
hurriedly walked over and blocked the view of the others, holding her gently in his arms and patting her.
âI was just passing by. Lil Nâs just babbling nonsenseâ¦â Aidaâs voice choked. âBut you said that youâve
never been there before, and youâve never thought about going there to see me. You said that every
time you went there, youâd just go around insteadâ¦â Grant looked at her with a complex expression
and felt his heart ache. He wiped her tears away, somewhat at a loss. âWhy are you crying? Itâs not
important whether I went or not.
At that time, the decision was yoursâ¦â Aida froze and lowered her head, crying even harder. Without
caring about anything else, Aida pushed Grant away and ran out. Grant was just about to chase after
her when Clayton spoke up with a smile. âMr. Stanton, I think itâs better to let Nicole go over.â Nicole
immediately nodded. She already realized that she said something wrong the moment Aida cried.
Nicole actually did not know about what happened between them. She only knew a little. Nicole said
that because she wanted to endear Grant to Aida. Who knew that it would backfire? Right now
, Nicole stood there obediently, wanting to become invisible. However, Clayton suddenly pushed her
out. Nicole agreed without saying a word, but after thinking about it, she did not know Aida that much.
Would it not be better for Grant to go coax her? She widened her eyes at Clayton, who simply smiled at
her. âGo onâ¦â Nicole hesitated. Grant looked at her coldly. âWhat are you still standing there for?
Hurry up and go. Donât come back until you coax her!â Nicole was speechless. âNow that Kai isnât
around, how did my status in the family drop so rapidly?â It was a bit unexpected. Under Grantâs urging,
Nicole stiffly went out. Aida sat by the small fountain pool at the entrance, looking in the direction of the
garden. She was quiet and looked somewhat mournful. Nicole walked over and sat down.
âIâm sorry, Aida.â Nicole apologized meekly. If not for her, Aida would not have cried. Aida smiled and
reached out to hold her hand, making her it down. âYou didnât do anything wrong. Thereâs no need to
apologize.â âI didnât know those words would make you cry. I thought that you knewâ¦â The corners of
Aidaâs lips twitched, and her eyes could not help but sting. âI didnât want to cry either, but I just couldnât
help it. I donât blame you
.â Nicole hesitated for a long time. âIt mustâve been very difficult for you and Grant to get back together
again.â Aida felt like warm, hot liquid was about to gush from her eyes. As someone who could control
her emotions well, Aida did not know why she suddenly lost control. âYes, I thought that I was the one
who planned it for a long time.â Aida bent down and smiled with her head lowered. âBack when I was in
Wall Street, it was really hard on me.
Itâs not a place where you can stand firm just by ability. There are geniuses abound there, but there are
also all kinds of scum. Later, I gave up working for others and used the money I earned and the little
property left by my family to start a business⦠When I left your big brother, he said we should never
see each other again. I regretted it as soon as I went to Libeny, but I really couldnât put down my
prideâ¦â
