The President’s Stubborn Love

Chapter 56 – All together



Like Cinderella going to the ball, Sherry’s posture is still elegant, but her heart is never in it.

She’s had a dream of sorts this way.

Being Aaron’s date at a business event is a dream come true for many a dame.

As she got into the car, Sherry was still anxious about what the night would bring.

But once she got in, the car drove slowly forward.

Sherry froze, “Mr. Swift isn’t in the car yet.”

Just as she finished speaking, she realized that the person driving the car, was Aaron.

Sherry’s hands clasped the hem of her skirt, half daring to make a sound; where was this going tonight? It was worth Aaron driving himself.

Entrance to the Victoria Hotel.

Willie, Chairman of the Smith Group, is greeting guests at the door.

Tonight is the big night for his eldest son Benson’s engagement.

Edith, as his youngest daughter, stood quietly at the door in a puffy pink princess dress and followed along to welcome the guests.

“Dad, you’re too biased to prepare such a beautiful engagement party for big brother, and when I get engaged later, it’s going to be this grand!” Edith smiled and pouted.

“How old are you and you’re already thinking about getting married?” Willie gave a hearty laugh, “Don’t worry, Dad will …”

No sooner had the words been spoken than a luxurious top-of-the-range car pulled into the venue.

Willie froze at the mere sight of the number plate.

“This is Mr. Swift’s car, isn’t it?”

He sent Aaron an invitation, of course, but with the disparity between the Smith Family and the Swift Family, he didn’t think Aaron would even bother to show up.

I didn’t expect him to come in person.

Willie immediately rushed down the steps to greet them personally.

Edith pads her toes and follows this, she has tormented Monica for years but she still looks up to Aaron, after all he is the dream man of all the women in town.

If she could sit in Mrs. Swift’s place, perhaps, she would consider, in future, not tossing Monica.

As long as Aaron is not married to Nola, anything can happen.

“Mr. Swift, what a great pleasure it is to have you here!”

Mr. Swift, this is my daughter Edith, she graduated from the same school as you.”

Aaron’s eyes were full of coolness as he swept a glance over, “Is that so?”

Edith met his handsome face, her eyes shy, “Please teach me more in the future, sir.”

Had she known Aaron was so handsome, she wouldn’t have been so mean whenever she went to the sanatorium to bully Monica.

Mr. and Mrs. Smith were also smiling with relief and could not wait to get their daughter straight into the Swift Family home the next minute.

However, Aaron stopped paying attention to Edith and walked right past her, pulling open the door.

Everyone watched as a beautiful woman got out of Aaron’s car, in a high-fashion gown and elegant posture needless to say, but most importantly, Aaron himself chauffeured her and even helped her out of the car himself.

In all his years, Aaron has never treated Nola like this in public.

For a moment, there was silence around.

Everyone’s eyes were focused on her.

Edith had no time to be jealous before her eyes were filled with disbelief.

“Sherry!”

What gives her the right to sit in Aaron’s car!

Aaron ignored her and her parents and instead looked after Sherry with such affection?

There were also a number of whispers, mostly about Sherry’s identity and her relationship with Aaron.

Sherry clutched the hem of her skirt, her mind reeling from the reason Aaron had brought her here.

Embarrassing the Smith Family?

Or to avenge Monica’s death.

Her beautiful eyes lifted as she looked at the man close at hand.

The palm of his hand was so warm, and the affection in his eyes was not as cool as it once was, that even Sherry, for a moment, had a feeling of confusion that she should not have.

Is he acting, or is …

“Watch your step.” The man’s low voice rang in his ears.

Sherry immediately snapped out of her own thoughts and, with a light step, followed Aaron forward step by step.

The two men came alongside each other in front of the Smith Family.

“Mr. Swift, this is?” Willie enquired with a smile.

After all, it was common knowledge that Nola was Aaron’s fiancée.

Edith said at the right time, “Dad, this is Sherry, a friend of Aaron’s sister.”

Edith deliberately brings up Monica and people around her start to talk about it in secret.

Sherry’s face sank slightly and she looked lightly at the man beside her.

Even if she was humiliated and questioned, she could take it all and if Aaron told her to get lost now, she wouldn’t say a word against it.

As long as he, Mr. Swift, is satisfied.

Sherry had her mind made up when she heard Aaron make a very unexpected remark.

“She is the new business director of Night Group and will be in charge of the next collaboration with Smith Group.” In one sentence, Sherry was held in high regard.

Talking about business, Willie immediately put on a smiling face, “So it’s Aaron, come in please, both of you.”

Aaron had a smile on his brow and always held Sherry in his left hand.

The two of them standing side by side are just too good for each other.

A chorus of murmurs rang out among the guests.

“Just up and down the hierarchy?”

“It can’t be that simple, when have you ever seen Aaron bring a female employee to such an occasion!”

“I wonder how the Garcia Family will feel when they find out?”

The Garcia Family was unable to come to the banquet today because they had something to do.

Edith stood in the doorway, staring at Sherry’s back from afar and biting the corner of her lip, “Director of Night Group? She’s not worthy of that! I’m going to show everyone what Sherry is today.”

In the hall.

Sherry stood beside Aaron, quiet and well-behaved.

Almost everyone knew that Aaron had broken down and brought a very nice female companion with him tonight and that the two got along well.

There is even speculation that this mystery female companion must be the key to preventing Nola from marrying into the Swift Family.

Only no one dared to say that to Aaron’s face, they all muttered quietly to the side.

With one eye on Aaron’s face, Sherry waited quietly for his next order.

Her whole being was like an emotionless puppet on a string.

Aaron finally found a place to sit after leading her around the whole room.

The tone was half teasing, half sneering, “You’re the only good-looking one left.”

Sherry frowned at the words.

He was a man who never did anything for nothing.

A deeper meaning swept under Aaron’s eyes, not saying much, as if he was quietly waiting for something.

Just then, a voice rang out.

“Where’s Aaron!”Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

Gregorio stood in the doorway and shouted.

It attracted a lot of attention at once.

The crowd looked over to the sofa, where Aaron slowly looked up, his eyes slightly cold.

Only Sherry, sitting beside him, clearly heard him whisper, “Just in time, let’s settle this together.”

Solution?

Sherry wrinkled her brow, then saw Nola, full of defensiveness, coming through the doorway.

The words came out in tears, “Aaron, what’s going on here?”
