When the Contract Marriage Ended, He Stayed

Chapter 15

Chapter 15: You’re Acting Really Strange

Fiona Forrest was incredibly perceptive. From the moment she called Hazel Hawthorne, she already knew her son’s predictable ways. Now that Raina Lowell was back, he was definitely fooling around with her.

So, when Aiden Xavier answered Fiona Forrest’s call, he hadn’t even said a word before she stated with certainty that he was with Raina Lowell. Any chance he had to argue was nipped in the bud.

"Don’t force me to send Raina Lowell abroad."

Fiona Forrest’s voice was just loud enough for Raina Lowell, standing beside Aiden Xavier, to hear. Her expression changed drastically. She stared at Aiden, her eyes welling with tears, terrified he would obey Fiona’s command and leave her.

’He’s the only one I can rely on here.’

’If even Aiden Xavier doesn’t take my side, I’ll have no way to stand up to Fiona Forrest.’

Aiden Xavier rubbed the bridge of his nose. He caught a glimpse of Raina Lowell’s pitiful expression out of the corner of his eye, but his own face remained impassive, leaving Raina unable to guess what he was thinking.

’Aiden Xavier should be stepping up to form a united front with me right now.’

As Aiden Xavier remained silent, Fiona Forrest let out a cold laugh. "I suggest you put your mind to proper things instead of resorting to crooked tricks. The only daughter-in-law for the Xavier Family is Hazel Hawthorne."

Every word out of Fiona Forrest’s mouth was aimed at Raina Lowell.

Aiden Xavier was a filial son, so he didn’t speak up for Raina Lowell. Instead, he waited in silence for Fiona Forrest to finish her warnings and hang up.

Raina Lowell could no longer hold back her tears. She threw her arms around Aiden Xavier and began to sob. "Aiden, why does your mother hate me so much?"

Aiden Xavier offered Raina Lowell some token comfort. "Don’t worry, I’ll handle my mom. Have you forgotten what the doctor told you?"

Raina Lowell had a congenital heart condition. After lengthy treatment abroad, her condition was only stabilized, not cured. She couldn’t get too worked up or handle any agitation.

Seeing Aiden Xavier remain silent as a stone made Raina Lowell even more upset.
