Chapter 97 Will You Join Me?

Hayden tossed his phone aside. "Aurora, I know what I've done hurt you, and I want to make amends for the mistakes I've made."

"Amends? How do you intend to make amends?" Aurora raised an eyebrow at him.

"I want to protect you from getting hurt again. Those people who were after you before didn't have good intentions, and I'm not comfortable letting you go home without knowing who they are."

"So... You'll stay at my place tonight. Rest assured. I won't touch you. I just want to protect you," Hayden emphasized.

Aurora was also wondering who plotted against her tonight. If she couldn't figure out who was behind this, she would still be in danger.

"I don't need your protection."

"Either way, I'm not stopping the car," Hayden stated firmly as the car drove towards his villa.

He grabbed her hand and pulled her into the villa.

Upon entering the foyer, she noticed two pairs of slippers at the door. One pair was clearly for a woman. She was not so vain as to think these slightly worn slippers were meant for her. They were obviously Susan's.

Hayden also saw the slippers and quickly fetched a new pair from the shoe cabinet for her. "Wear these. They are new," he added pointedly.

Aurora changed her shoes and noticed that the interior decor was much the same as before, barely changed at all.

She remembered how she used to come here to do her homework. Both as heirs to a wealthy conglomerate, they had to learn more from an early age than most.

That was why Aurora found her college courses a breeze, having already completed them during high school with Hayden.

Hayden, the successor to the Alvarez family, had been strict with himself from a young age. Aurora had thought he was just diligent, unlike other wealthy heirs.
