Chapter 55: More Cunning Than You

’This is the perfect opportunity. Aiden should divorce Hazel right away. Even if I can’t marry him immediately, I’d still be thrilled just to finally stop seeing Hazel show up around him and me every day.’

Raina Lowell eagerly awaited Aiden’s reply, already fantasizing that he would agree to divorce Hazel immediately. But instead, Aiden just pulled her into his arms and said in a low voice, "If I could, I wish it had been you I married."

Though he hadn’t directly answered her question, his response was enough to make Raina ecstatic. She forgot all about pressing him for a real answer. Nestling against him, she started to playfully toy with his long, slender fingers.

The chaos of the outside world seemed to have nothing to do with them.

"Aiden, did your mother give you a hard time? I know she must not like me, and after what’s happened, I’m sure she hates me even more. She’ll definitely think that my showing up is what caused the rift in your relationship with Ms. Hawthorne."

"I’ll work on my mother and try to get her to accept you as soon as possible. Once she does, I’ll divorce Hazel and marry you immediately. As for the rumors outside, just pretend you haven’t heard them, okay?"

Gazing at the incredibly gentle Aiden, Raina was utterly captivated. In her eyes, there was no one else but him. She wanted him all to herself, and she wanted Hazel to disappear from their lives as quickly as possible.

"Raina, I’m going to be very busy for a while, so I won’t have much time to come see you. Just be good and wait for me at home, okay? I’ll come find you the second I’m free."

No one could resist the handsome and devoted Aiden.

His tender words and gaze had Raina wrapped around his finger. She nodded obediently. Then, as if suddenly remembering something, she said, "Aiden, if you find out who’s plotting against us, you have to tell me. I have a feeling it’s someone we know."

Raina’s words were pointed; she hoped Aiden would start suspecting Hazel. Only by making Aiden despise Hazel could she speed up their divorce.
