Pregnant With Twins: My CEO’s Tricky Love

Chapter 548 Meeting of Rivals IN love

Maisie asked one of the assistants next to her.

"I think I've seen a picture of her. She's my sister's daughter, isn't she?"

"Madam, you remember correctly. Her name is Anaya and you are her aunt."

"Why did you stop her?"

Maisie asked curiously. After all, this girl was her sister's daughter.

However, the people around her were stopping Anaya from coming near her.

"Miss Mitchell hasn't been in the right mood lately."

The secretary spoke up with difficulty.

"She ended up in the police station for two days the other day because she broke up with her boyfriend and went straight over to him with a knife and tried to hurt him. Mr. Simpson said not to let Miss Mitchell near you."

Maisie followed the secretary’s line of sight and glanced again towards Anaya.

The girl did look a little crazy.

For some reason, she didn't like the way Anaya was looking at her now.

"Take her back to her parents. I'll go in first."

Maisie said and turned to walk away. Even though she was her sister's daughter, she didn't really want to care about her at the moment.

Just as she entered the gate, she heard Anaya's frantic shouting.

"Aunty, why didn't you help me like the others? How can you be so cruel?"

The voice faded away and Maisie surprisingly put her hand over her chest.

She felt a little uncomfortable. It made her uncomfortable to see Anaya so madly in love.

Even she didn't know what the discomfort was due to.

Pushing down the discomfort, Maisie walked inside the villa with the help of her assistant.

As soon as she entered, she saw a gentle and quiet woman sitting in the living room.

Casey stood up in amazement at this moment. Her daughter had told her that Maisie wanted to see her, and she had been waiting at home.

The waiting time had been torturous. She had imagined many different ways of meeting Maisie, and in fact, today was the first time they had met.

Earlier, after agreeing to meet, Casey had wondered if something would go wrong with this meeting.

But after actually meeting each other, the two surprisingly just looked at each other as if no one knew what to say.

"Come in and sit down."

After a long silence, Casey said to Maisie.

Maisie nodded. In fact, she had been looking at Casey for a long time.

She had thought Casey was a stunning beauty, but Casey was just a pretty woman, not much different from the pretty women out there.

She looked at the woman for a long, long time and only felt that she looked like a person with a gentle personality.

She couldn't really find any other merits.

So, her dead ex-husband abandoned his kid and her for such a woman and ended up with her?

Maisie felt a little puzzled, but there wasn't much sadness or resentment in her heart.

She just didn't understand.

After walking up and sitting down, Maisie spoke to those around her.

"All of you, go out. I need to talk to Ms. Powell alone."

Casey smiled and spoke to the men.

"That's okay. You all just get out."

Robert had instructed the people he had arranged to keep an eye on his mother and mother-in-law as they must not let anything happen to them.

However, both of them told them to get out. The assistants and bodyguards all walked worriedly outside and waited. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Their ears were pricked up to listen to the movements inside. In case something really happened, they had to rush in to remedy the situation.

And it was only after everyone had left that Maisie finally spoke to Casey.

"To be honest, I guessed what you looked like. I thought you were the kind of woman who would make a man dizzy at the sight of her and hurt his eyes with her beauty. Because I thought that for a man as

good as Aidan, since he could leave his wife of ten years, his son, his daughter, and even leave all his possessions to divorce, the woman he liked had to be extremely beautiful."

"Of course, Ms. Powell, I'm not saying you're not pretty, but you're not as pretty as I thought you were. I don't know if that statement offends you."

As she finished, Casey smiled instead.

"So what other guesses do you have about me? You can say it, and then I'll tell you what I've been through."

Maisie spoke up.

"I didn't have anyone look into you, and I only knew about the entanglement between the two of us. I thought that apart from being pretty and attractive, maybe you'd be talented or you'd have outstanding abilities in some way that would impress Aidan and make him fall in love with you at first sight anyway. Because I think I'm kind of a great woman. And I don't think I'm not good-looking enough, and for him to not want me, I think I'd have to find myself a reason that would convince me."

"It was definitely the other woman who was too good and too pretty. Ms. Powell, do you have any outstanding talents? Or is it that you and Aidan have the same personality, like a soul mate, and I could never get along with him. Is that the reason?"

This was the question that Maisie had been hiding in her mind for a long time. She couldn't remember much about what had happened between Aidan and her.

But she was still curious about the man who had been married to her for ten years and insisted on divorcing her.

She wanted Casey to tell her the answer.

"I was an orphan, of course, and now I have my own family, the Powell family. But before I met Aidan, I was an orphan."

Casey spoke slowly.

"You should also know that Georgia is my daughter. So before I met Aidan, I had other relationships and was even married. That man was Owen, who later married another woman and had a son with her called Eden, the man who killed your daughter in the car accident."

"I know. I know all about these relationships."

Maisie spoke up indifferently. There was always a faint sadness at the mention of Wendy.

Casey continued to speak again.

"When Owen and I met, he was pretty good to me. I was kind of good-looking when I was younger, so I married him. Then he went into business and I was helping him. But people do change, or maybe I didn't recognize Owen for who he was in the first place. He gave me away to sleep with others for business."

Maisie was particularly taken aback by Casey’s words. She hadn't really known that Casey had experienced this.

She had assumed that Casey's experience would not have been a painful one. But she would never have guessed that a woman like Casey had ever been offered to another man by her husband.

"Don't you be surprised! I don't even know who Georgia's real father is. Because I was completely under his control during that period and was sold to many people by him. My past was very sordid. I didn't meet Aidan for a long time during that dirty memory, and it lasted for years."

"After I gave birth to Georgia, Owen had a soft spot for me because my daughter was being kept by Owen and I couldn't get away from that life. Then one year, your husband started coming to the clubhouse I was staying at a lot to talk business with some people and that's how he and I met. To put it bluntly, he and I are actually in a relationship between a john and a prostitute. I was just his female companion at the time, but I didn't have a relationship with him yet. He would occasionally watch me a lot, but he and I didn't actually interact much at that time."

"I didn't even know that he had actually started to care about me afterward. I didn't really think I was any kind of attractive woman. Maybe you'd think I did everything I could to seduce him at that time and then let him take me out of my misery. But it wasn't like that. He would only occasionally come and look after me before he finally kept me as his mistress. To me, it didn't make much difference whether I was kept as a mistress by him or someone else. Because I thought I was just going to end up there alone for the rest of my life until I died someday and somewhere, and they're probably wouldn't be anyone to collect my body."

"I'm sorry to ask about your sad past. I didn't know you could have experienced so much."

Maisie was really feeling a little sorry at this moment. Because she hadn't expected this woman called Casey to have had such an experience in her past.

She hadn't led the kind of life she thought she would, with men all at her feet.

She used to imagine that Casey had many suitors, until finally when she chose Aidan.

She thought this woman had always had a happy life and she even thought this woman was glamorous. But now it seemed that she had guessed wrong.

"It's okay. I've actually tried to explain this to you before. Some things are misadventures, but in the end, it's because of my presence that this has ruined your family. I've actually been meaning to apologize to you for a long time and I didn't get the chance until today."

"Maisie, I'm sorry."

Casey uttered the words and spoke out the guilt she had been suppressing in her heart.

She knew the pain of betrayal, so she could understand that Maisie had loathed her and hated her before.

Not many women were comfortable with the idea that their husband who had been in love for 10 years had abandoned them for another woman.

"And then what happened? Was that how you confirmed your relationship and eventually got married later?"
