chapter 40: When midnight strikes

"Suicide!" Rose was shocked.

Aidan's expressions were very cold and he indicated Allen to go away. Allen bowed to him and left that living room quickly.

Aidan stood in front of her and tucked her loose hair behind her ear with his fingers.

"I'm sorry." Rose said to him. Her eyes were sad. In the end, the happy family in that picture wasn’t as happy as it looked.

"Its okay." He said.

Rose hugged him tight suddenly. Aidan felt warm by her hug and hugged back her too.

They finished their dinner at grandpa's place. Grandpa Amos Hill was very jolly with both Aidan and Rose. He didn’t look that arrogant and cold when he was with them. However his attitude toward Helena was very cold. Helena was very obedient to him and assisted him well in his business but he always gave her a cold shoulder. Rose noticed this and thought, in our lives we all are disapproved by someone.

After saying good bye to grandpa they left for their house together. Secretary Allen drive them back home.
