NovelEnglishChapter 69
They all sat at the dining table, eating in silence. Oliver was itching to start a discussion but he was scared to say something
wrong. He had no idea how to start or what to say, if Sammy had told him that this was the surprise, then he would have been
prepared.
Well even if Sammy had told him about it, he would have still been dumbfounded when he saw her. She was just so gorgeous
and hot, very few people would believe that she had actually bore a child that was seven years old.
And his daughter, she was just a carbon copy of her mother, take aside the gray eyes that she took from her Daddy. She was an
epitome of beauty.
“Mom has told me quite a lot about you, I asked her to bring me here,” Princess Lena said, while stuffing her mouth with food.
“Keep quiet Lena, have you forgotten your table manners? You can’t talk while eating, it is dangerous,” Aria scolded.
Princess crumpled her face and looked down feeling sad. She had a lot of questions for this man whom she had been introduced
to as his daughter.
“Easy Aria, don’t be so strict with her,” Oliver said in a calm voice.
“Excuse me Mr. Oliver, she is my daughter and I train her the way I see fit, you don’t get to tell me how to train her,” Aria replied
in a gentle, yet hostile tone.
“Calm down Aria, don’t be like that... she is my daughter too, you know?” Oliver said and Aria shot him a mean glance.
“You mean the daughter you couldn’t fight for, the one you gave up on seven years ago,” she replied and looked down to the
Oliver sighed; he did not want to argue with her especially in front of Lena, they would discuss this on a later date. He was glad
to have Aria back, it was so difficult fighting back the impulsion to go searching for her all these years. Since she was here now,
it means that they were meant to be.
Just like he had expected, she came back. Even though it took seven long years, it finally happened and that was what mattered
to him. Now that she was here, he had no intentions of ever letting her go again, she was obviously still upset with him, but he
had plans to win her over and bring her back into his life, no matter the cost. This was the right time to right his wrongs and
correct his mistakes.
“So tell me Mr. Stark, how is your wife doing?” Aria asked. Even though she already knew everything, she just wanted to hear
him say it himself, that was her way of reminding him of the wrong choices he made in life and the price he had to pay for it.
Oliver smiled softly but covered it up, he knew that question was not meant the way it looked like it was meant. He was also
aware that Aria knew the latest happening around here, she was friends with Rosie after all so she had to know.
“She is gone Aria, I divorced her,” Oliver replied.
“Do you mind telling me why?” she asked plainly.
Oliver looked from her down to Lena. The little girl was busy admiring the inner decoration of the building, it was not like she had
not seen a nice house before, she had not seen such a mesmerizing pattern before. It was wonderful for the eyes to behold and
it was not similar to the ones they had in London.
“Well, she cheated on me with a stranger, so Grandpa and I decided that she had to be divorced,” Oliver replied with his eyes
still fixed on Lena. He wanted to make sure that she did not overhear any of this, she was too young to have such thoughts in
“Oh, I see...” Aria replied bluntly. “Speaking of your grandfather, how is the old man?” she queried with a look of less concern.
Hmm... well he has traveled back to Asia for his treatment, he is not feeling too good,” Oliver replied.
“Okay then, I wish him good luck with his treatment,” she said in a cold voice and picked up her spoon to keep digging into the
food.
Not only was the food her favorite but it was also delicious. She wondered if it was Oliver that really made it, when did he
become such a good cook? Also, he used to say that cooking was for the servants, but now it seemed like he enjoyed doing it
himself. Indeed, things had changed.
She noticed that he had also been working out too, his muscles and abs were all impressive and her body shivered at every part
of his unclad body that her eyes met.
“Thank you, I will tell him that the next time I call, he would be happy to know that you came back and you did check up on him
even after everything that happened,” Oliver said.
“Hmm... I am only here for the wedding, nothing else. As for everything that happened, I have moved on so that with every other
thing that happened in the past has been buried in that time, I only think about the present and the future right now,” she replied
bluntly.
Oliver nodded his head and chuckled. He knew his Ex wife was quite a stubborn woman with a lot of ego so there was no need
arguing over the unnecessary.
“Alright, what about you? How have you been?” he asked softly.
“As you can see, I have been good, isn’t it obvious?” she asked in a cold voice.
“Mommy, do I have to remind you of the table manners, you just reminded me right now, so don’t tell me you are having memory
issues now,” Lena said as she rounded up with her plates at the table, she had eaten in a hurry so that she would be free to
bombard her father with questions.
Aria stared at her and sighed. Oliver chuckled and she shot him a mean glare, he quit laughing immediately as fear gripped him.
His Aria had changed a lot and he loved this new version..
