Chapter 658 Fulfilling the Promise

His face was serious as he gripped Laine/s wrist, pulling her bathrobe open. “You! What are all these? Who did this?”

Lainey burst into tears, forcefully shaking off Roman’s hand, and wrapped herself up again. “I’m fine, just go! Nothing’s wrong with me!”

Roman walked into the bathroom and, upon seeing the water stains, knew it was her own doing.

He asked angrily and with a broken heart, “What are you doing? Why are you doing this?”

Lainey was crying so hard that she could barely catch her breath, “Dirty, so dirty.”

Roman’s heart ached, and he wanted to pull Lainey into his embrace, but she resisted strongly.

“Don’t touch me! It’s filthy!” Lainey began to struggle violently.

Roman held her tightly and said, “You’re not dirty at all. You’re the best person I’ve ever met.”

He spoke tenderly, gently kissing her hair as he talked.

The two of them embraced for a long time before Lainey finally calmed down completely.

“Lainey, what happened in the end? Can you please tell me?” he asked patiently.

Lainey finally pointed to the diary. “The letter you gave me.”

“Letter?” Roman walked over and took out the letter sandwiched in the last page, the one that had been torn apart and then carefully pieced back together.

He immediately understood and tore the letter to pieces, throwing it into the trash can. “Lainey, I’ve never written such a letter, and it’s even more impossible for me to write this one. The person who wrote it must be…”

He didn’t continue speaking, but Lainey already had the answer.

‘It’s my dad.”

Roman nodded, “I’ve been calling you every day for the past few days, but no one answered. Today, I received a message saying you wanted to break up, but I don’t believe it. I’m sorry, it’s all my fault. If only I had realized it sooner.”

Lainey shook her head, “So it wasn’t written by you.”

Because of this letter, she couldn’t stop thinking about it, barely eating a few bites of food over the past few days, and having trouble sleeping.

‘Lainey, I would never write such a letter to you, you can be completely at ease,” Roman hugged Lainey once again.

He was just about to say something else when the door was suddenly kicked open with great force.

Jaydan watched the two people embracing each other with a cold expression on his face, feeling extremely annoyed.

‘Separate them for me!”

Without hesitation, the bodyguard immediately stepped forward and separated Lainey and Roman.

Roman still protected Lainey, “Don’t touch her, I won’t get close to her.”

Lainey looked at her father with disappointment, “Dad, why did you have to do this?”

Jaydan understood that everything that was bound to happen during their meeting had already been discussed between the two of them.

“I’m doing this for your own good. What’s so great about this guy? Following him will only bring endless trouble,” Jaydan said coldly.

Lainey shook her head, “I love him, I’m not afraid.”

‘Love? Don’t be foolish, my daughter. The path I’ve arranged for you is the right one. All you need to do now is wait to go study abroad. Don’t even think about this matter anymore. I will never agree to you two being together.”

Jaydan looked at Roman and said, “And you! Get out of my house right now, or I’ll call the police and report you for breaking and entering.”

“Roman! Go! I wont leave the country, I’ll always be waiting for you. My phone has been confiscated, but remember, I won’t let anything separate us,” Lainey said firmly.

Roman looked at Lainey with a heavy heart and nodded firmly. “Wait for me.’

After Roman left, Jaydan gave Lainey a cold glance and said, “Lainey, one day you’ll understand that my decision today was the right one.’

He closed the door, locked it, and instructed the two bodyguards to keep a close watch.

The next day in Seattle.

After crying all night, Ainsley woke up with swollen eyes and decided to wear sunglasses to coverthem.

Manuel saw it and wanted to ask, but Ainsley had already dodged far away.

‘Grace went to Seattle.”

Ainsley asked in astonishment, “What is she doing in Seattle?’ Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Manuel shrugged. “It’s unclear at the moment.”

“Then, didn’t we come here for nothing?” Ainsley said, annoyed.

“Well, it wasn’t a complete waste, at least we know she’s acquainted with your father,” Manuel said.

Ainsley nodded, “You’re right, let’s head back too. Oh, by the way, where’s Serina?”

“She said she wants to spend a couple more days in Seattle, and she has Miles to keep her company,” Manuel mentioned Miles with a hint of impatience.

‘Miles is a pretty good guy; he’ll definitely take good care of Serina.”

Manuel stared at Ainsley’s retreating figure, somewhat lost in thought. He could sense that Ainsley seemed to have figured something out.

Although he felt more distant from Ainsley than before, it might not necessarily be a bad thing. As long as Ainsley was happy, he was content.

Two days later in Seattle.

Aaden opened the door and saw Ainsley standing outside the mansion.

“Ms. Easton, it’s been such a long time since we last met. Mr. Hume has been missing you dearly.”

Ainsley sneered, “When did a dog like you learn to speak human language? Mr. Hume must be very pleased to know. Thank him for always thinking of me, and I’m thinking of his death too.”

Aaden never expected her to become so overbearing. He mocked, “Say whatever you want, but after all the trouble we went through to get out of here, aren’t we just coming back now?”

Ainsley’s expression was cold. “Just wait and see.”

Before coming, Matteo had tried to stop her, even almost tying her up at home.

However, Ainsley’s intentions went beyond just the contract; she had to make Daniel pay the price.

Aaden nodded and stepped aside, clearing the path.

Once again stepping into this mansion, Ainsley felt as if they were in a completely different world. It was hard to say whether they felt more weary or angry.

She had been trapped here for a very long time, gazing at the sea every day, even contemplating that jumping into the ocean would be her true freedom.

She shook her head slightly, deciding not to think about these matters anymore. Following Aaden’s footsteps, she entered Daniel’s study, only to find that there was not only him but also another therapist present.

She sneered. “Mr. Hume, who is this?’

The person immediately stood up and greeted Ainsley, “Hello, Ms. Easton. I know you’ve published many psychology papers and are well-known in the field. I’m also a therapist, and I came here specifically to learn from you.”

Ainsley glanced at Daniel, thinking the excuse of “studying” was too fake. “Mr. Hume, if you’ve already found another therapist, then there’s no need to come to me,” she said.

She spoke and headed for the door without a hint of hesitation.

“Stop right there!” Daniel was on the verge of losing his temper. “It seems you’ve forgotten the terms of our agreement. If you dare to break our deal, you’ll have to compensate me with ten percent of the Easton Group’s shares.”

Ainsley froze, immediately walking over to grab the contract. Only then did she realize that the last few pages were missing when she signed it. Clearly, she had been deceived!

‘You’re truly despicable! First, you schemed to have Kaliyah steal my father’s ashes, and now you’ve tampered with the contract.” She immediately wanted to tear the contract to shreds.
