I had said all that I wanted to. I didn't know if he was willing to listen to my words, but he needed to move on with his life.
His appearance made Hendrix and I confused. Seeing that he was so drunk, it was obviously impossible to let him go home by himself, so we decided to let him spend the night here.
Hendrix brought him to the guest room and I made him a cup of tea for his hangover. I breathed a sigh of relief after finally being able to coax him into drinking it. Suddenly, I noticed that his mobile phone had been ringing for a while now. I couldn't help but glance at the name of the caller. It was Eunice.
This woman was really going too far. When I picked up the phone, she said softly, "Mr. Aaron, where are you? Why didn't you answer my call? I'm so worried about you. I went to your apartment to look for you, but you didn't answer the doorbell. What's going on? Are you okay?"
If I hadn't heard the weird breathing sounds coming from the other end of the line, I would have thought that she was really concerned about Aaron. I said indifferently, "Eunice, you've almost gotten everything you needed from Aaron. It's time to stop now. He won't marry you, nor will the Reid family accept you. Don't be too greedy."
She was obviously displeased and replied, "Miss Reid, what do you mean by this? Mr. Aaron and I are truly in love with each other. You don't think highly of me, but our marriage is Mr. Reid's business. It is up to him to decide. You're just being disruptive. What right do you have to make decisions for him?"
"How does the man lying next to you feel when you say this?" I asked. Glancing at Aaron, who was sleeping soundly, I couldn't help but feel sorry for him. Hence, I said to the phone, "Eunice, I'm a woman. I know what you want, and I know what kind of person you are. I can find out everything about you as long as I want to. I didn't hurt you yet because I'm trying to let you leave with dignity. But everyone should have self-awareness. If you don't stop, then I will do something. So please be well-prepared. I will not only make you leave Aaron without any money, but will make you pay back everything you have gotten from him as well. Therefore, Miss Hathaway, please choose wisely!"
