Doted by Many: I became the Top-Tier Celebrity!-Chapter 130: Don’t Try to Be Clever
If there’s no feeling involved, even being single until old age will just mean childhood playmates.
Unable to become lovers or spouses.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Joyce Hughes couldn’t stop crying; the burn hurt, but her heart hurt even more.
Uncle Hayes scolded her: "Enough, stop crying, it’s embarrassing, I’ll get the door."
Joyce was still crying.
Uncle Hayes sighed and went to open the door.
Joyce was still burying her head, crying sadly, pitifully, heartbroken.
Uncle Hayes was startled: "Master Shaw, why are you here?"
Joyce froze, stopped crying, opened her eyes, and raised her head, only to see Aiden Shaw’s handsome face, which she was infatuated with.
"Master Shaw, sob sob..."
She immediately stood up from the sofa, directly rushed towards Aiden Shaw, trying to throw herself into his arms.
Aiden Shaw frowned; he disliked physical contact with women.
He stepped back, widening the distance between them, warning her coldly not to cross the line.
Joyce looked at him, in unbearable pain.
Master Shaw never touches her, except during childhood; now, they’ve grown up, and he keeps his distance at all times.
The only time he comforted her was when she was six years old, after her parents died saving Master Shaw’s parents at the hospital, he told her that her parents had helped him, and he would take care of her.
It was then that she realized she had already developed feelings for him.
He said he would take care of her for life, and she believed it.
So, she always considered herself as his fiancée.
Even if he couldn’t perform as a man, she didn’t care, as long as she could be with him...
But today, she finally felt her status being shaken.
Aiden Shaw came to see her, and she thought he always had her in mind, but when he pushed her away, it was so decisive, without the slightest hesitation.
At that moment, it felt like waking up from a dream that lasted more than ten years.
All because of Tiana Thorne.
Without Tiana Thorne, she would be the woman accompanying Master Shaw; it’s all because of her.
Aiden Shaw distanced himself from her, lowered his head to look at the burn on her calf, it seemed quite serious.
Uncle Hayes saw this and said, "I’ll head out first..."
"No need, Uncle Hayes, you’re Joyce’s only family in this world, and her elder; you should be here." Aiden Shaw’s deep voice interrupted him.
Uncle Hayes had no choice but to stand there.
Joyce bit her lip, trying to control her sobs, but tears still fell one after another, looking utterly pitiful.
"Does it still hurt?"
He seemed to care, but his tone was particularly cold.
Joyce listened, her eyes getting wetter, tears flowing even more: "It hurts..."
Her tone had a hint of coquettishness.
Aiden Shaw’s cold voice was steady: "It’s good that it hurts."
Joyce’s face turned pale instantly, looking at him in confusion, wishing to cry out loud.
Uncle Hayes sighed inwardly.
"Master Shaw, I..."
Aiden Shaw interrupted her: "Only pain can make you constantly remember, don’t be clever."
After hearing this, Joyce felt overwhelmingly hopeless.
She cried quietly, unable to utter a word.
Just a word from Tiana Thorne about her pain was enough to have Joyce running errands for her.
But when it came to Joyce’s pain, Aiden was completely indifferent.
Aiden Shaw’s cold voice rang out again: "Did you remember?"
Joyce’s hands clenched into fists, her voice trembled: "Master Shaw, I remembered everything."
The pain and grievance she suffered today, she would remember for a lifetime.
Remember all this was thanks to Tiana Thorne.
