His Domineering Lover novel Chapter 1139

After the kidnapping, Aleigha had a few peaceful days.

Dustin didn't do anything to Lainey and her daughter, at least not in front of Aleigha.

The mother and daughter had restrained their resentment toward Aleigha but it was still palpable.

For the sake of Dustin, they were ostensibly nice to her.

Aleigha checked online and found that her college acceptance letter had been signed for.

She'd lost the opportunity to go to college because of Emilia in her last life.

Lack of college education had made Adrian dismiss her as a vulgar bumpkin.

She wouldn't let it happen again.

Now that she had gained a foothold in the Gardner family, she had plenty of time to consider what to do next.

She spent lots of time in the garden reading and having tea.

It was a bright day and Aleigha was sitting on the grass in the garden, holding a book in her hand.

She really relished time like this.

"You know what, you should be thankful that the Gardner family is wealthy enough to afford a lady of leisure."

Emilia came to her and said tartly.

Aleigha was used to her acrimony and didn't feel angry at all.

"What brought you here?"

Aleigha smiled sweetly, reaching out to grasp Emilia's hand.

Although apparently Emilia wanted to fling her hand off, she controlled herself and sat down with her.

"We should spend more time together," Aleigha said.

The innocence on Aleigha's face made Emilia very uncomfortable.

Aleigha behaved so naturally that it seemed they were intimate sisters.

"I heard you are admitted to a college. What is it?"

Aleigha thoughtfully chose the subject.

Emilia stilled for a second and withdrew her hand from Aleigha's hands uneasily.

"It's a very ordinary college. I'm going to study abroad anyway."

Emilia's nonchalant tone only made her suspicious.

She had spent so much of her energy and time manipulating and calculating that her school performance had been a mess.

Studying abroad wouldn't change the fact that she had no more knowledge than a pig.

"I'm admitted to a college too, but I haven't received my acceptance letter."

If she remembered correctly, her acceptance letter was in Emilia's hands right now and Emilia would maneuver to replace her and go to her college.

At the mention of the acceptance letter, Emilia looked more uncomfortable.

"Maybe it gets detained on the way."

She explained in a not convincing way.

Aleigha agreed to her but coldness flickered in her eyes.

Dustin frowned, his face darkened.

"She just doesn't want to see us. She can never learn to be polite."

Marcos ultimately didn't like this daughter and being in a foul mood due to his work only made Aleigha more abominable.

"I'll go and see what's going on. Maybe she's not feeling well."

Emilia said to placate her father.

Dustin didn't say a word but nodded in agreement.

Marcos watched her trotting upstairs and felt less angry.

If only Emilia is a boy, he thought.

He had been longing for a son for a long time.

Emilia pushed open the door and metAleigha's watery eyes.

"Aleigha, what's the matter?"

Emilia acted like a caring sister.

Aleigha wondered why such a talented actor wasn't in the show biz.

"Emilia, I..."

Aleigha kept crying, her voice breaking.

"What's the matter?" Emilia asked again.
