Revenge is My Love Language novel Chapter 350

“I can’t go to Rosewood Manor and plead your case for you, and that’s because of her. She still can’t let go of me, and you’re my fiancée. If she finds out I went to speak up for you, she’ll definitely get jealous and then take it out on you. Who knows what she’ll tell Uncle Harrison then…”

“So I really can’t go to Rosewood Manor. Not only would it be pointless, it’d probably make things even worse.”

Shirley’s expression soured, but hearing Aaron’s words—that it was Anastasia clinging to him, while he himself had no interest in her—quelled her anger somewhat. She only cursed Anastasia in her heart for being shameless.

“But aren’t you the heir Mr. Harrison Lancaster personally chose? Don’t your words carry more weight than Anastasia’s?”

As she spoke, Shirley’s eyes narrowed with suspicion.

Aaron heaved a theatrical sigh. “Of course Uncle Harrison values me, but right now, he’s still fascinated by Anastasia, so naturally, he caters to her. And since Anastasia chased after me before marrying into Rosewood Manor, Uncle Harrison’s attitude towards me has been a bit colder ever since she arrived…”

“But don’t worry.” He gently draped his arm around Shirley’s shoulders, his voice soft and reassuring. “Once Uncle Harrison gets over his infatuation with her, everything will go back to normal.”

“As for the West family, if Uncle Harrison gets angry, just ask them to bear with it for now. When I eventually take over Uncle Harrison’s position, I’ll make sure to compensate them properly.”

Aaron laid on the charm, going out of his way to soothe Shirley. The next morning, he even drove her to campus himself.

At the school gates—

Aaron had barely stepped out of the car when he stopped dead in his tracks.

Shirley followed his gaze and instantly her face darkened.

Not far away, a sleek, understated luxury car was parked by the curb. Just then, Anastasia stepped out.

Through the open car door, they could see Harrison sitting in the backseat. His profile was striking and coldly handsome, his presence commanding. As Anastasia exited the car, he said gently, “Alright, go on inside.”

But Anastasia lingered in front of the car, stubbornly refusing to walk away. She blinked up at him. “Honey, you’re just going to let me go in alone? Aren’t you going to walk me to the door?”

The next instant, she rose up on tiptoe and kissed him boldly on the lips.

A chorus of squeals and giggles rippled from nearby onlookers. Anastasia only laughed harder, her eyes dancing. “Now I’m satisfied!”

With that, she spun away, the hem of her dress swirling as she ran for the entrance.

At the school gate, she turned back, waving at him with a radiant, crinkled-eyed smile.

For a moment, the icy reserve in Harrison’s eyes melted completely. A rare smile curved his lips as he waved back at his young wife.

He watched her disappear inside, then finally turned away, climbed back into the car, and instructed the driver to leave.

As the car pulled away, he glanced out the window one last time.
