CHAPTER 133: CHAPTER 133: CHASING WIFE WITH DEEP SCHEMES

Tiana Linden held the room card and took a half-step toward Hector Chaucer.

Then, she explained:

"What I mean is, I’m afraid that we’ll slip up in front of Aiden Grant, so could you help me again?"

Tiana had experienced Aiden Grant’s persistence.

When she used to date Aiden, if they argued, Aiden would always be the first to admit his fault.

In her youth, she was somewhat capricious.

Over trivial matters, she’d be angry with Aiden for days.

She wouldn’t answer calls, wouldn’t respond to messages, nor meet him.

That’s when Aiden would drop everything and pursue her, seeking forgiveness.

Until she forgave him.

Sometimes it was just a minor issue.

Anyway, at that time, everything about Aiden was centered around her.

Just like now.

He was the head of Linden-Grant Pharmaceuticals.

The entire medical research lab was in Aiden’s charge.

Yet he said he’d leave the lab, and he really did.

Recalling those memories still made Tiana’s chest ache.

She feared seeing Aiden again would brutally reopen her emotional wounds.

In short, she wanted to immediately draw a clear line with Aiden.

Using any method would do.

Hector Chaucer at the door didn’t immediately respond to Tiana.

He frowned slightly, seeming a bit troubled.

Seeing his demeanor, Tiana gestured pleadingly, looking at him with eyes full of appeal.

"Hector Chaucer, help me to the end."

"Please!"

After speaking, she gave a pleading gesture.

Looking at him pitifully.

Her clear large eyes looked a bit helpless at the moment.

Her clear gaze reflected her appeal to Hector, and also his "troubled" expression.

Tiana maintained her pleading gesture, deepening her look of appeal, "Hector Chaucer, please, please!"

Hector Chaucer said plainly, "I don’t like sharing a room with anyone."

After speaking, he raised his eyebrows, seemed dotingly rubbing Tiana’s head:

"However, because we’ve grown up together, I’ll help you once more."

Immediately, he took the room card from Tiana and went to open the next room’s door.

As he turned, Hector’s seemingly stern lips gently curled into a smile of success.

Tiana stood there stunned.

When Hector rubbed her head earlier, the cedar scent from him lightly brushed by.

Like a crisp mountain breeze passing over.

Suddenly her mind flashed to last night, when she changed into her qipao, wearing only underwear and was unexpectedly seen by him.

It was so embarrassing!

When she was with Hector, she was always natural like old friends.

Even casual like brothers.

Never any psychological pressure.

But when Hector’s cedar scent brushed by just now, it brought an indescribable feeling inside her again.

Anyway, it wasn’t as natural as before.

As the room door clicked open.

Hector saw her standing dazed by the door, his smile deepening, "Please, Eldest Miss Linden."

Tiana stepped inside, quickly suppressing her unusual feeling, seriously stating:

"I am no longer the Eldest Miss Linden, now I have no relation to the Linden Family."

Except for retrieving her mother’s inheritance, she wouldn’t have any dealings with the Linden Family.

Naturally, she no longer wanted to be this Eldest Miss Linden.

Walking into the room.

Their luggage had long been sent in by Gordon Lowell.

Tiana muttered, "How did Gordon know I’d let you stay here, even my luggage is set for you."

Unbeknownst to Tiana, it wasn’t sent by Gordon, but arranged by Hector.

Hector closed the door, entered with a casual air, "He might’ve delivered it wrong, but it’s convenient, no need to move."

Though it was a suite over a hundred square meters.

But the entire suite had only one bed.

The sofa was big though.

Hector glanced around, "I’m not accustomed to sleeping on a sofa."

Tiana also looked at the whole bedroom, which had only a bed.

Since she asked Hector to help act for Aiden, no way she’d let him sleep on the sofa.

After all, these years not being the rich Linden heiress, she’d suffered a lot.

Sleeping on a sofa didn’t matter.

Besides, this sofa was way better than the hard bed in her rental.

She offered, "You sleep on the bed, I’ll take the sofa."

At that moment, Hector received a call from Christopher Grant.

The two brothers talked for half a minute.

After hanging up, Hector looked at Tiana.

"Christopher said he’d like to invite us to dinner at your favorite Japanese restaurant."

"But if you don’t want to go, I’ll cancel."

Tiana’s favorite Japanese restaurant was called Sakura Pavilion.

Veridia and Kaneport both had branches.

Flying from Veridia, it was getting late.

Now Tiana’s stomach was indeed hungry.

Since Christopher was treating, she didn’t refuse, "Let’s go."

Hector specifically asked, "If Aiden goes too..."

Without waiting for him to finish, Tiana asserted, "It’s better if he goes, no need to avoid him anyway."

After speaking, Tiana gave a mischievous smile, "Aren’t you there to shield me from him."

Though seeing Aiden would indeed bring up many painful memories.

But avoiding wasn’t a solution.

...

Hotel suite 2708.

Jane Summers watched Christopher Grant hang up, asked eagerly,

"So, did Hector and Tiana agree to dinner?"

Christopher nodded, "Yes, we’re heading over now."

"Great!" Jane hurried to change clothes.

The suggestion to eat Japanese was Jane’s idea.

On one hand, she wanted to reconnect with Tiana, as they have been close friends since childhood.

Before Tiana’s imprisonment, they were very tight.

Anything delicious or fun or useful, Tiana would share immediately with her.

But due to the Linden-Grant Pharmaceuticals research secret theft case, she misunderstood Tiana.

Leading to Tiana now distancing herself from her.

She wanted to repair the relationship with Tiana.

So she chose Tiana’s favorite Japanese restaurant—Sakura Pavilion.

This was the first reason.

The second, Jane seemed to be bewitched.

Her mind kept flashing to Hector’s hearty ruggedness mixed with tenderness and handsome bearing.

If they ate dinner together, she could see Hector again.

Thus, after changing into a lovely dress, she quickly sat at the vanity, starting to touch up her makeup.

Christopher looked at his watch, "Jane, we agreed to meet at the restaurant in twenty minutes, we need to hurry or we’ll be late."

Jane, "No worries, just touching up my makeup, won’t take long."

Christopher: "Meeting Tiana and Hector, it’s casual, not an interview, relax."

Jane: "No way, wait a moment."

Christopher knew his wife well.

She loved to dress up.

Even just staying home would be finely dressed.

Christopher had no choice but to patiently wait, meanwhile giving Jane a shoulder massage.

"Jane, it’s chilly tonight, should you wear a jacket?"

"Wearing a jacket over this dress isn’t pretty."

Christopher could only take off his suit jacket, "Wear this, remove it at the restaurant, you’ll still be the beautiful Mrs. Grant."

As they were about to leave, they encountered someone at the room door.
