Refusing To Be His Perfect Replica I Choose The Arranged Marriage novel Chapter 255

Chapter 255

Bryce escorted Aveline to her apartment. He exuded the innocence of youth and the charm of a grown man.

He personally opened the car door for Aveline and wrapped the newly bought scarf around her neck.

"No need, I'm not cold," Aveline said.

"This is new. Girls should pay attention to keeping warm," he explained.

"Alright, be careful on your way back. Thank you," Aveline replied.

Bryce still had a smile on his face. "The snacks tonight don't count, Aveline still owes me a big meal."

"You," Aveline reached out and ruffled his hair, "are still the same as when you were a kid."

Back then, she promised to give him a gift, and this kid remembered it and would ask her about it every once in a while.

"Then let's make another appointment another day."

"Okay."

As she watched the car drive away, Aveline finally turned and entered the elevator.

Bryce was right. She shouldn't be so pessimistic.

She looked at the various snacks she was carrying and didn't expect that after so many years, this kid still remembered her taste.

She and Bryce became acquainted when they were young, and later he went abroad to study. The two of them would often chat on social media.

Since when did they become estranged?

It was probably in the past few years, after she started dating Alexander, that her time was al given to him, and naturally, her contact with Bryce faded.

Her impression of Bryce still remained as the little boy who was afraid of cats climbing onto her family's plum tree.

Thinking of that innocent little face, Aveline's lips curled up.

There's nothing wrong with the darkness of life. The darker the night, the brighter the moon and stars.

Perhaps she should find time to go and have her stomach checked again. She was gradually gaining the belief to keep on living.

She opened the door and touched the light switch.

As she lifted her head, her smile froze on her face.

Sterling?"

Alexander sneered, "Aveline, why didn't I realize before that you're so practical? When you need something from me, it's Alexander, but when there's nothing, it's Mr. Sterling."

"Mr. Sterling, I just went to the hospital with the kid, I didn't break our agreement. Why do you need to act like you're questioning me?"

"The kid? Don't forget what he wanted to do to you that night on the cruise."

"At that time, he was drugged by your fiancee. Instead of blaming him, you should ask your lovely fiancee."

Aveline wasn't originally angry, but when she mentioned these past events, she couldn't contain her anger.

The man in front of her moved closer, trapping her in front of the washstand, his face dark as he coldly said, "Aveline, what are you dissatisfied with? Although I was the one who caused the downfall of the Blackwood family, I've initiated the restructuring of the funds.

Except for your father, whom I hate, his hospitalization wasn't my doing!"

"I know."

"You have been yearning for the island. I've spent a huge sum of money to help the people on the island improve their lives. I've also returned the Blackwood residence to you, and even those two little rascals, I held no grudges against them and have settled them well. When you wanted to enter the company, I didn't say a word."

Alexander grabbed her shoulder. "If you don't want me, I won't touch you. I've said that apart from the position of Mrs. Sterling, I can give you anything. What more do you want from me?"
