Chapter 597: Two Slaps (Extra Story)
"Oh my, Aurora! What a coincidence running into you here! So, you rushed off earlier because you had an appointment here?"
Peyton, who had just caught up, immediately clung to Alexander’s arm, smiling sweetly as she spoke.
Aurora pressed her lips together. At least Peyton hadn’t exposed what had happened at the Wilsons’—how considerate of her.
After all, Peyton had an image to maintain. She wouldn’t want Alexander to see an ugly side of her.
"I didn’t expect to run into you here either. Looks like Miss Peyton wasn’t satisfied with the last party and decided to continue the fun here," Aurora replied indifferently, not sparing Alexander a single glance.
For a former lover who had abandoned her so easily, the best thing to do was to act as if he didn’t exist. Looking at him even once would only remind her of how much her heart still ached.
"Not at all! Some of Alexander’s friends wanted to hang out here, so I simply arranged a private room," Peyton said with a smile.
Alexander’s face darkened. "Aurora, don’t judge others with your petty mind."
Aurora lowered her gaze and said nothing, brushing past him with a cold demeanor.
Alexander’s heart clenched as she walked by without so much as a glance in his direction.
Even though he was with Peyton now, he still couldn’t stop thinking about Aurora.
