The President’s Stubborn Love

Throughout the morning, Sherry lost count of how many times she was scolded by Kirsty.

“How did you mix the medicine?”

“This is what you’re going to wear tonight and you haven’t ironed it yet?”

“I’ve told you a few times, why can’t you remember!”

Kirsty counted off as she ironed Monica’s dress.

And Monica leaned back lazily in her rocking chair, blowing the breeze from the sea, her face serene and soft, her graceful demeanor like a water lily in a lake, beautiful and blasphemous.

“I’d like a drink.”

She suddenly inclined her head sideways and looked at Sherry, the look again extremely strange, as if she didn’t know Sherry anymore.

It was as if they were two different people from the one who had been relying on Sherry last night.

Sherry nodded urgently, “Yes, I’ll get it right away.”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

To avoid contact with the Henry Family, they try to keep Monica out of the house, and one of the two is always with Monica.

“Kirsty, I’m going downstairs to get a drink.”

Kirsty was ironing and answered without looking up.

Sherry hurried downstairs and made it back to her room in a matter of minutes, but when she entered, the floor-to-ceiling windows were wide open, the curtains were blown about, and Kirsty and Monica were nowhere to be seen in the room.

And the ironing machine on the table didn’t even have time to turn it off.

“It’s over. …”

Those were the only two words that popped into Sherry’s head.

Just as she was about to turn around, a wave of vertigo hit her and her whole body fainted and passed out, losing consciousness.

“She’s still good enough to carry on, by the effects of that drug she should have been high and in bed by now.” Reto snickered evilly and lifted his foot and kicked Sherry a few times, “No response, do it.”

“She’s actually really good looking to my liking, why don’t you talk to your big brother and let me … first”

“She’s the woman Aaron touched, and you’re interested?” Alex’s cold voice rang out behind them, those cold eyes narrowing on the two men’s hands.

He rushed over to check on the guests before they arrived, just in case they might have had second thoughts.

“Big brother.”

Veli stood up, “I didn’t mean it like that, it was just an off the cuff comment.”

Facing Alex, they both humbled and panicked.

Alex’s eyes were unmistakably somber, glancing at Sherry’s face as if he were looking at someone who was about to die.

“It’s a good deal to use her alone and bury Aaron’s future, and afterwards, you can do whatever you want.” The smile on his lips was unmistakably sinister, “Get her to her room upstairs right now, if you miss the boat …”

“Don’t worry big brother, we’ll do it right away.”

Not daring to hesitate, the two brothers carried Sherry up the stairs.

Because of Alex’s instructions, no servants were encountered along the way.

Alex, dressed in a black striped suit, stood behind the wall, showing only half his face, the wind whipping through it, his face cold to the bone.

“It’s been five years, it’s time to end it.”

…

Half an hour later.

Sitting in the Henry Family’s limousine, Nola couldn’t contain the smile on her face and the ecstasy in her heart as she looked out of the window.

She had finally waited for this day!

The dress she wore was the latest season’s luxury model from the brand, which she had gone to great lengths to order, with a hemline full of real diamonds, and for which she had been nagged by her father.

But this is the doorway to marrying into the Henry Family.

She was willing to pay such a high price. If she could get through today, she was still afraid that she would not be able to get ahead in the future.

In time, all will be at her feet.

However, Nola is too flamboyantly excited to notice the icy glare of the men around her, and the closer she gets to the Henry Family, the deeper Aaron’s expression grows.

A flood of repressed memories cannot stop coming to mind.

It weighed him down.

The knot in his throat rolled, and as the driver turned the corner and drove into the Henry Family gates, he tugged at his tie and flicked his eyes closed.

It only took a moment for the face to regain its composure.

Never let anyone see through what you really think was the first thing this cold manor taught him.

“Mr. Aaron, Miss. Nola, please step out of the car.”

Nola inclined her head sideways towards the distant estate, “But it’s not at the gate yet.”

She thought the Henry family would all be waiting outside to greet them.

After all, it was her first visit with Aaron and it was the Henry Family’s birthday party, so it was a high-profile event.

However, Aaron had already got out of the car first.

The driver also ignored her questions.

Nola pursed the corners of her lips and pushed open the car door.

There was no imaginary red carpet, no one outside to greet her, and she had to struggle to follow Aaron on her own, carrying her heavy skirt and stomping on her extremely high heels.

Nola doesn’t need to look in the mirror to know how messed up she must look at the moment.

Her cherry lips were slightly open and she pouted softly, “Aaron, can you hold me up for a second?”

She wouldn’t have asked him if she hadn’t been trying to maintain the graceful gesture of meeting someone later, lest Aaron think she was being ungentle and understanding.

The man sniffed and stopped.

Turning to look at her, he held out his hand, “I told you before, there’s no need to be so grand.”

Try harder and the Henry Family people will not think highly of the women he brings in.

But Nola had no idea what he meant by that.

Instead, he gave a delicate smile, “It’s okay, it’s the first official meeting and I wanted to be prepared.”

Aaron just looked at her slightly sullenly and didn’t say any more.

The two men walked to the bottom of the steps and looked at the steps in front of them, and Nola fumed a little.

Before she could think of how to go up gracefully, she saw a group of servants running out of it, and behind them was an old, white-haired butler shouting urgently, “Send a few more men up the north hill to have a look, and be sure to look carefully.”

The next second, he noticed the two men at the bottom of the steps and his eyes widened on the spot, “Young Master Aaron!”

The expression on his face was both panicked and tinged with urgency.

“What’s going on?”

“Yes … it’s Monica, she’s gone, she was fine at lunchtime, she actually disappeared with the land care worker this afternoon, and now they’ve sent someone to look for her.” Uncle Bob’s eyes were full of apologies.

And kept saying, “Because of the Old Master’s birthday banquet, the surveillance equipment is being overhauled these days and not activated.”

In other words, it is impossible to find out.

Aaron clenched his fist fiercely and lifted his eyes to the highest part of the dais where the noblewoman standing there was slightly red-eyed and even a little sobbing, “Aaron, don’t worry, we’ll find her.”

The same words, the same people, the same thing!

Aaron’s anger was about to spill out of his chest.

Nola, who was beside him, then responded, “Aaron, don’t worry, if we all look together, we’re sure to find it, why don’t you go first? I’ll change my clothes and go right away.”

She thought that she was considerate enough.

To be able to come up with such a great idea and wait for Aaron to compliment her.

Without thinking, Aaron’s next sentence, without any trace of emotion, was, “Uncle Bob, where’s the other carer?”

“You mean, Sherry? Oh, she’s resting upstairs in the guest room now.”

At the sound of Sherry’s name, Nola’s whole mind exploded.

“What does this mean? Why is Sherry here too!”
