she dodged his attempt by tilting her head to the side. She still had her eyes closed, and her voice carried a sense of weariness.
“I was tired, let’s go to sleep.”
Arrogent and proud, the president of the Cestaneda Group, Sean, had always been pursued and chased after. However, today he was rejected several times in a row, causing his face to immediately darken. He turned to the side, ignoring everyone around him.
The next day, Sean left for work early in the morning, while Aliana stayed at home to rest because her injuries had not healed yet.
Just after she had finished lunch, her phone suddenly rang. It was his assistant, Billy
The phone was answered, and the voice of Billy came through urgently, “Madan, Mr. Castaneda’s heart is not feeling well, but we have run out of medicine bere at the company. Can you bring some over, please?”
This was not the first time Billy directly asked Allana to deliver the medicine. Actually, in the past, she would promptly replenish the medicine before Billy reminded her
And every time she heard that Sean was not feeling well, she would get extremely anxious, and anyone could tell that she loved” him to death. But this time, she calmly opened her mouth only after Billy finished talking
“The group tailding is too far from the villa. You go and buy it yourself.”
Never did I imagine that Aliana would refuse, Billy’s voice was full of surprise and a hint of hesitation as she continued, “But I don’t know which medicines to lavy, wasn’t it always you who delivered them before? Every time Mr. Castaneda had a heart discomfort, you would get so worried…”
Bally’s rembling was intrempted by her words before she could finish.
“It won’t happen again.” Her voice remained steady, devoid of any medications, she added, “You are his assistant, so these matters will be ristrusted to you from now on.”

medications, so they quickly called someone to go and buy them
In the evening. Sean returned to the villa and immediately saw Allana sitting on the sofa, calmly watching TV.
His face immediately became somewhat unpleasant, “I didn’t feel well in my heart today, didn’t you know?”
The familiar voice came with a questioning tone, but it still couldn’t make Aliana’s gaze leave the television.
She didn’t even lift her head and her response was simple and direct, “I know.”
Sean’s face was filled with disbelief as if he hadn’t expected her to be so unabashed. “You knew, but you didn’t come?”
“I said it before, it was too far.”

She lowered her gaze and didn’t look at him. Her tone was as casual as saying that she wasn’t hungry and didn’t want to eat anything now. He stood by the soda, looking at her dark hair, feeling a mix of emotions in his heart.
Alana has indeed changed. In the past, whenever she had a headache or fever, she would be more worried than anyone else. She would never be as indifferent as she is now, as if she were just a stranger.
Could it be that she was still concerned about the sunrise releasing her pigeons?
The feeling of dissatisfaction surged in his heart, and he pressed his forehead, forcing himself not to dwell on this matter with her, and started to change the subject.
“Go and tidy up and change your clothes. There will be a family banquet later, and you will come with me.”
Upon hearing these words, she finally lifted her head and looked at him directly in the eye. Instead of the surprise he had imagined, her eyes reflected astonishment.
After all, they had been married for three years. Besides hastily getting a marriage certificate with her, Sean had not given her anything. There was no wedding, and he had never met her parents. He had never taken her to the monthly family banquet of the Castaneda family either.
As for the reason, she also discovered it by accident,
She still remembered that year was their first wedding anniversary, and she intended to go and ask him if they should celebrate it together. However, she accidentally overheard his conversation with Mr. and Mrs. Castaneda.
“Sean, it has been a year since you got married. When do you plan to bring your daughter–in–law back to meet us? We have prepared our family heirlooms to give to her. Even though the Dunlap family is not well–off, as long as it helps you forget Aurora, it will be worth it.”
Through the phone and the door, the voices of Mr. and Mrs. Castaneda were not very clear, but after listening to their words, his cold voice came out from behind the door without any disguise, “It’s just a compromise, no need to meet.”
In just eight words, Sean completely expressed his attitude towards her.
In the room, the sound of Mrs. Castaneda’s voice continued, “You haven’t forgotten about Aurora yet? I thought you would have, since you got married.” “Have tried, can’t forget.”
The phone ended in Mrs. Castaneda’s sigh, and she closed the door quietly and left, pretending she had never been there,
Back then, she had already accepted the outcome that she would never set foot in the Castaneda family’s old mansion. Now, she realized that she had mistaken someone and was ready to leave, but he came and said he wanted to take her to meet his parents?
“Let it go.” Aliana shook her head and softly declined his proposal.
This time, Sean couldn’t hold it back anymore and frowned, “What’s wrong with you lately? You refuse everything I suggest, you weren’t like this before!”
And as they continued talking, her emotions couldn’t help but become stirred up. It was only then that she remembered how she used to be completely devoted to her. After a moment of silence, afraid of revealing any flaws, she reluctantly agreed to go back to the old house with Sean.
The villa and the old house were not far apart, and the car quickly arrived at the old house. Just as they entered, they noticed that there was already a person sitting inside through the glass.
It was Aurora.
She had a pleasant conversation with Mr. and Mrs. Castaneda. Mrs. Castaneda held a jade green bracelet in her hand and lovingly put it on Aurora’s wrist. Upon seeing this scene, Sean’s face slightly changed, and he explained in a deep voice, “Aurora is a close friend of our family, so she is also invited to our family banquet…”
He turned his head to look at her expression while speaking, only to find that she was busy changing her shoes, with a calm expression and even a hint of a smile at the corner of her mouth.
“You don’t have to explain to me”
Sean’s voice faltered, never expecting her to react like this. As surprise filled his eyes, Aurora happened to walk over at that moment. “Sean, Uncle and Auntie are calling you to the study. They said they have something to tell you.”
The words he wanted to say were interrupted, so he nodded and was about to go with her. However, Aurora stopped him and said, “Uncle and aunt said for you to go alone.”
As Sean’s Ligure disappeared around the corner, Aurora raised her hand and waved it in front of her, her eyes filled with a sense of pride and satisfaction. Chapter 6

“Do you know what this is? This is the heirloom of the Castaneda family, just put on my hand by Auntie herself, saying that I have returned and Sean is finally fulfilled. You know, it’s really something, after so many years, I only just found out that Sean has always liked me.”
Aurora’s gaze was fixed on Aliana, trying to discem any trace of pain or sadness from her face. However, to her surprise, Aliana’s expression remained unchanged, and her pare didn’t even linger for a moment on the bracelet.
He just listened quietly as she finished speaking, then looked at her with a faint smile and said in a soft voice, “Do you really not know?”
“What?” Aurora was taken aback by Aliana’s sudden question, and then she heard her continue, “You and Sean grew up together as childhood friends, anyone can see the love in his eyes when he looks at you, don’t you really know?”
