NovelEnglishChapter 0327 He didn't randomly textas he always did. After we made love, he didn't stay up, holdin his arms to chat about work or strike up any other random conversation. He'd either turn away and go to sleep and get to work.
He didn't laugh as much as he used to anymore and whenever he did, his eyes lacked joy and his laugh was flat. I tried to do everything to get him to talk to me, anything that would stop him from slipping through my fingers but it was like he had built this impenetrable wall around. himself, locking himself away from everyone.
I tried to be understanding. "He's just overwhelmed," I had thought and -believed because I was too.
Marriage wasn't a walk in the pack and things had happened quickly between. And in between wanting to spend the rest of my life..
with the man I had crazily fallen in love with, I felt overwhelmed and scared but I believed that as long as we had each other, we would survive every storm.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut Aiden didn't think the same, because after a while, he cup with sflimsy excuse and left the country.
At least when we were together, he was subtle in ignoringbut in another country, thousands of miles away from me, he outrightly ignored me.
If I was lucky and he picked up my call, he'd grumble an excuse and afterward end the call. "Let's talk later, Sharon," he'd groan like I was sburden he didn't even want to think about.
Again, I tried to understand even though my hurt hurt everyday like a was lodged there.
But soon, it started grating on my nerves more and more as each day +25 BONUS Chapter 0327 passed. And I knew I couldn't keep sitting back and be stupidly patient.

Was he that scared about the idea of marriage? While I prepared for my trip, I hired a private investigator to keep tabs on him and his previous dealings since he returned to the country. I wasn't happy that I had to monitor him. I hated it, it madefeel guilty and desperate but it had to be done.
It was the day I left for the country that Aiden left for Aiden that I got the very first report from the investigator. There was a lengthy write up that I skipped to the photographs that gripped my interest.
It was a picture of my man and a certain woman. She looked pretty ordinary toand I didn't see what was so special or gripping about her that Aiden was drawn to.
The woman had a small smile on her face but Aiden looked at her like she was the whole world. The slook he always had on whenever we just bagged an invaluable contract. Yes, that look. Maybe an even enhanced version.
In another picture, it was the woman and a child in the picture. A cute. girl, might I say.
Later, when I read through the summary of the report, I discovered that the woman worked in his company and was his ex. Her nis Anastasia.
"This is what it is?" I scoffed as I glared at the woman in the picture.
It didn't matter if she had a cute girl or if she was his ex or whatever, no one, absolutely no living being, would cbetween Aiden and 1.

I'm going there to make him see that I am the woman he wanted and needed.
I wasn't about to let another woman arise from only God knows where and confuse him so she had better back off immediately.
I picked up my phone and put a call across to the investigator. "Find out more about Anastasia told him. "Dig up her past, present, everything there is to know about her." When he started to grumble that we only discussed the price of one person, I cut him off. "I'd double your pay.
