After being reborn, I make up my mind to stop chasing after my husband and daughter

Chapter 112

We walked out to the shade of a tree, and I immediately shook his fingers off my arm. “Come on, spill. How much did you hit up Jared for this time?”

“Not much, really, just a little bit,” Aiden mumbled, noticing my expression darken. “Victoria, please don’t be mad, okay?

“I brought my girlfriend here for a date, and I didn’t want to bother you. Aren’t you supposed to take care of Yvonne?”

I looked at him, knowing he was still pretty innocent. He was a college student with a girlfriend, and of course, he wanted to show her off. I could understand that.

But even so, it stung a little that he didn’t think to contact me first when he came to Hachester.

Jared really had a knack for getting on everyone’s good side. My whole family respected him. He was polite, spent freely, and everyone adored him.

“Victoria, the hotel Jared set us up in is like a hidden paradise. Seriously, it’s gorgeous. Rich people really know how to enjoy life,” Aiden said, looking totally enchanted.

I had a lot of mixed feelings. Aiden was my brother, and he had always been a decent guy. My parents told him to go back to our hometown for work, but instead, he landed a job in Hachester.
