Chapter 142 - Waving The Flag



Chapter 142 - Waving The Flag

Gary was silent when he saw Aaron was angry. He chose to stay focused on driving the car and did not open his mouth to comment on Aaron's behavior, as he went crazy after Anne claimed to be a widow.

"Jack, Jack, Jack ... why did you have to come to London? What do you want?"

"Fuck! I hate you, Jackson! You're dealing with the wrong guy this time. I'm Aaron Connery who you can't beat that easily."

After being satisfied to vent all his emotions, Aaron then rolled down the window. He needed fresh air to relieve his lungs which felt tight at this time.

"Sir, may I speak?" Gary asked quietly.

"Say it, Gary. What is it?" Aaron replied quickly.

Hearing Aaron's answer made Gary went silent. He seemed hesitant to open his mouth. After taking a deep breath, Gary finally dared to speak.

"Do you think Miss Anne is lying, Sir?" Gary asked quietly.

"Of course she is. How could there be a girl who was widowed when she was only nineteen years old? Moreover, she also said that her marriage only lasted one year because her husband cheated on her with her best friend. That is the most absurd reason that I have ever heard. So far, Gary, there is no such thing as a love story like that, let alone an arranged marriage and then her husband left her because of an affair with her best friend. Such love stories only exist in romantic novels and films. How could it happen in real life like this? This is the modern age where all women have the same rights as men. It's very stupid that there is a woman who wants to maintain her marriage after she finds out that her husband is having an affair. When she knows her husband is cheating on her, she should immediately leave her husband. She shouldn't wait for a year. Moreover, she said that it was an arranged marriage. It doesn't make any sense, Gary. My most likely guess is that she purposely said it all to turn me down and chose that bitchy Swiss bastard named Jackson Muller," Aaron replied emotionally at length.

"How long have you known Miss Anne, Sir?" asked Gary again.

"About five months ago, when I visited Newcastle-Upon-Tyne to attend Elea's engagement to Steven Dawkins. It was in that city that I saw Anne for the first time. I even came to her apartment after helping her as a barista at her coffee shop," Aaron replied quietly.

Gary paused for a moment to digest all the words Aaron had just heard.

"That means you are not that close to Miss Anne, Sir, because you have only known her for about five months. I think there are so many secrets that you do not know from the lady. Maybe what Miss Anne said is true and maybe not. What disturbs me since the beginning is precisely Miss Anne's confession that she was a widow, Sir, because in my opinion only women who are truly honest would say such things. Because most of the time nowadays there are many women who claim to be alone when they already have a partner or lover," said Gary quietly.

Thump!

Aaron's heart beat very fast to hear the words of his driver. His senses started running at the moment. He seemed to be digesting each of Gary's words. When Anne spoke before, he felt that Anne was very honest. The gestures of people who lied and people who didn't were very different, and earlier when Anne spoke to him. She really looked very sincere with an invisible eye that didn't hide any deceit.

"Maybe because Miss Anne was traumatized by her previous marriage, then she became like this, Sir, firmly refusing your request to be your partner. If Miss Anne has such trauma, I think what she experienced was really hard. In other words, Miss Anne was really very hurt when she was betrayed by her husband and best friend," said Gary suddenly.

"Trauma ..."

"Yes, Sir, only people who have great trauma will act firmly like Miss Anne. It really doesn't make sense for a woman to refuse to marry someone as perfect as you, especially if that woman is Miss Anne. She's very kind and simple. She must really have a great fear of marriage, so maybe her confession that she is a widow is true, Sir. There is no woman in this world who would flaunt their status as a widow, especially since you know that having a widow status for a woman is very hard, especially when she was very young," said Gary again, interrupting Aaron's words.

Thump!

Hearing all of Gary's words made Aaron's chest feel very tight. Everything Gary said made perfect sense. Because no woman in this world would admit that she was a widow, especially in an era like this, when all women were competing to attract men's attention by making the best possible image to attract men's attention.

"You should not go away from Miss Anne's side at this time, Sir, you should be with her and listen to all her explanations carefully. At least, with that you will get a plus in the eyes of Miss Anne. There's a wise words that I think you should know, Sir, that a man who gives material wealth will lose to a man who gives his heart, but this only applies to good women like Miss Anne. But of course, it's a different story with those gold diggers out there. They will definitely prefer a man who is wealthy than a poor man who wants to fight together to reach the dream," added Gary again.

"How do you know Anne is a good woman?" asked Aaron unconsciously.

"Only an honest woman is willing to admit her true status, Sir. Believe me, there will be far more women who will admit to being virgins than claiming to be widows out there," Gary replied quietly with a smile.

Aaron was again silent when he heard Gary's words. This was the umpteenth time he couldn't refute the driver's words. Everything that his personal driver said made perfect sense, especially when it came to gold diggers, because the women who have been in contact with him were only after his wealth. They would definitely ask for various luxury items from him while still dating, but it was different with Anne. As long as he knew Anne, Anne never asked for anything. It was him who had always asked Anne for food and during that time all the food he ate came from Anne's personal money. Only today he spent money for Anne, and even then it was because he had to pay for the food he ate at the restaurant. His face turned red as he remembered all that. He was very embarrassed.

"Gary, hurry home. I have to calm down, all this really makes my head hurt," Aaron said softly.

"Yes Sir," Gary replied quickly.

After saying that, Gary then sped the car towards home. He smiled as he saw his master sitting quietly in the back in contemplation, and his anger had subsided.

Meanwhile, Anne was seen sitting in her car waiting for Linda and Paul to close the shop. Today she asked Paul and Linda to close the shop early because she wanted to invite the two of them to have dinner together as a small celebration of today's work achievement, where they could sell more flowers than the predetermined daily target.

While waiting for Paul and Linda, Anne suddenly saw the contract letter that Leon had given her out of her bag. Slowly, she grabbed the brown envelope. Since Paul and Linda were still busy closing the shop, Anne took out the contract that was in the brown envelope again. Her eyes narrowed when she saw Leon's cell phone number listed on the very front of the contract. When she saw Leon's cell phone number, Anne smiled suddenly.

"Looks like I have to start this game now," said Anne to herself as she entered Leon's cell phone number into her cell phone. She knew what Leon's purpose was to include his cell phone number on the contract letter she was holding.

Once she finished entering Leon's cell phone number into her contact list, Anne then typed a short message to be sent to Leon as a form of raising her war flag to Leon and Steffi.
