Chapter 591: Numb from the Pain (Extra Story)
Aurora silently watched as Alexander and Peyton walked toward the backyard. Her heart felt like it was being torn apart, but gradually, it grew numb.
Perhaps when the pain reaches its peak, a person stops caring about any further hurt.
At that moment, the sound of footsteps came from upstairs. Peyton turned around, and upon seeing the elderly woman upstairs, she immediately smiled and called out, "Aunt, you finally came down! We’ve been waiting for you for so long!"
Mrs. Wilson was supported by Mrs. Wilson and Madison as she walked down. At seventy years old, her thin frame and wrinkled face resembled the bark of a tree, like a blade of grass swaying in the wind...
But her eyes were still sharp. Upon seeing Peyton, Mrs. Wilson smiled gently, "Peyton, so it’s you... You’ve been so heartless, not coming to see your aunt for months!"
Peyton quickly released Alexander’s hand and ran up, like a purple butterfly, radiating the charm and joy of a princess.
In Alexander’s heart, this version of Peyton was far more charming than Aurora, who seemed innocent but had climbed into the beds of other men.
Alexander sat down nearby, but he couldn’t help glancing at Aurora. She was standing there, watching Peyton upstairs with a faint expression.
A subtle pain spread within him, but over time, Peyton had given him a different feeling, especially with all the images in his mind of Aurora with Everett...
Gradually, he became indifferent toward this woman, even harboring a growing dislike deep inside.
However, seeing her again, the love in his heart quietly resurfaced. Alexander felt a mix of love and hate for Aurora.
