Chapter 131 Gavyn Could Not Hold Back Anymore
“Huh?”
Aylin was completely baffled by Steve’s move.
Haleigh and Carmen’s faces were twisted with annoyance, as Steve was being way too biased!
Especially Carmen, she was the legitimate daughter of the Delacruz family. If Grandpa acknowledges Aylin as his granddaughter, wouldn’t she be on equal footing with me in the future? This is simply unacceptable!
“Grandpa, you already have a granddaughter, why do you want to acknowledge someone else?
Isn’t my respect for you enough?”
Carmen exclaimed anxiously, “Grandpa, if you acknowledge her, then wouldn’t she and Gavyn become siblings? If this gets out, wouldn’t it be a slap in Gavyn’s face? How could there be a situation where a grandfather helps his grandson’s ex-wife arrange a marriage?”
Actually, in her heart, she thought, Does she even deserve to have Grandpa introduce her to a good
man?
Carmen naturally felt that all the high-quality men in Steve’s hands should be exclusively enjoyed
by her.
Even though Aylin had joined the Koch family, she was originally from the countryside and not worthy of competing with her!
This time, Gavyn also felt that Steve’s actions were quite inappropriate.
There’s no logic in ex-spouses calling each other siblings, let alone Steve introducing men to Aylin
in front of him.
Gavyn’s fist clenched secretly, his face revealing nothing, yet his chest felt slightly suffocated as if a murky feeling was lurking within.
“Grandpa, you can’t do this!”
“How can it not be possible?”
Steve was interrupted several times throughout the afternoon, and he was extremely annoyed. He pointed at a few people’s noses and started cursing, with Haleigh and Carmen being the first ones to
bear the brunt.
“Don’t think I’m blind just because I’m at the Delacruz’s home! Haven’t you all bullied her enough before? Aylin is already divorced, why can’t she find someone else? She has the right to pursue her own happiness now!
Get Bonus
Don’t even think about touching her, even if she wasn’t a member of the Koch family! You can’t jus bully people like this!
This girl has been taking care of your family wholeheartedly, and all she gets in return is your cold and harsh words! You’ve really disgraced the Delacruz family!
I think you guys are just snobs!”
The mother and daughter were scolded so severely that they couldn’t even lift their heads!
Steve, panting and still feeling unsatisfied, reached out and pulled Haleigh and Carmen closer. “This isn’t over! Come here and apologize to Aylin!”
What?
Haleigh was feeling terrible.
Back then, she had married into the Delacruz family with a bit of calculation. Although Steve had never mentioned it, she always felt that he knew something, so she had been careful to please him.
And as for her unsuccessful attempt to please Steve, it’s fine if he likes Aylin.
Now they actually want her to apologize to this woman?
“Huh?” Steve glared, and Haleigh became frightened.
She hesitated, still wanting to struggle a bit, “Dad, I… I am her elder after all. Since when do elders apologize to their juniors?”
“Elder! Do you even act like one? You have the nerve to say that!” Steve scolded without any
hesitation.
“If you don’t speak up today, then get out of my house and never come back! I mean it!” he
continued.
Upon seeing Steve like this, Carmen knew that an apology was inevitable. Unwilling to take the lead, she hid behind Haleigh and turned her head away.
Haleigh had no choice but to brace herself and approach Aylin.
Aylin didn’t stand up, but simply raised her head. Although she was sitting, she exuded the air of someone in a higher position, scrutinizing those around her.
Haleigh didn’t want to talk anymore.
“Speak up, you mute!” Steve shouted angrily.
Startled, Haleigh stammered, “1-I’m sorry…”
Carmen has always looked down on Aylin, so having her apologize to Aylin would be a huge blow to
her pride.
Under Steve’s stern gaze, Carmen could only humbly apologize. Her face turned red as she barely managed to say the words “I’m sorry” before turning her head and running off to the side.
If this had happened three years ago, Aylin would have definitely insisted, with genuine fear and
trepidation, that the two of them not be so overly polite.
As time changes and the world evolves, she is no longer the same person who used to bend over
backwards to please Gavyn and let others walk all over her.
This is what the mother and daughter duo owed her in the first place!
She is fully qualified to receive it!
After listening intently, Steve looked at Aylin with a kind smile and asked, “Aylin, are you with their apology?”
satisfied
In fact, Aylin didn’t really care about this small punishment, but she knew it was Steve’s way of
expressing his remorse. She was touched and nodded, “Mhm.”
“But Grandpa Steve, they did have a point,” Aylin changed the subject. “I know you care about me and treat me like your own granddaughter. Your intentions are more than enough, and I’ll make
sure to visit you often.
As for the formality, I don’t really care. Besides, Gavyn and I had an amicable divorce, so there’s no need for an additional layer of identity.”
In other words, they have already gone their separate ways and don’t want to have any further
involvement with each other!
Steven went silent.
Steve’s face fell, his heart sinking!
He knew Aylin well enough to understand that she wouldn’t say such a thing about Gavyn unless she was utterly disappointed in him.
Once upon a time, he had taken a liking to Aylin because of her kind heart and her genuine affection. for Gavyn. She truly cared for the Delacruz family’s well-being. Moreover, now that Aylin’s true identity had been revealed as the heiress of the Koch family, she was a perfect match for their family in terms of social status!
If they get divorced, then this marriage should indeed be a wonderful thing!
It’s all because of his good-for-nothing grandson who’s gone blind!
The more he thought about it, the more annoyed Steve became. He looked up and glared fiercely at Gavyn. You little rascal, you can’t appreciate a fine gem! You’re driving me crazy!
Paulo Could Not Hold Back Anymore.
Gavyn was both insulted and ridiculed, his face turning unspeakably unpleasant.
Does Aylin really like me?
How could she bear to watch me marry someone else if she truly loved him? And how could she treat me so coldly within just a month?
If she doesn’t love me, then why did she marry me?
So many emotions are weighing heavily on his heart.
His brow twitched, unable to hold back any longer. Suddenly, he reached out to grab Aylin’s wrist and pulled her, intending to leave.
“Come out, let’s talk.”
