Chapter 40 Nobody Can Control Me Aidan didn’t want the children, and he was about to lose his leverage, but luckily, a golden opportunity—the Barnett Family—was right in front of his eyes. He had no intention of passing up this opportunity that had come knocking on his door. “Uncle Gordon!” Holding her arm, Sienna assured. “Anna, don’t worry. There’s always a solution for all problems.”

 

Knowing Aidan’s personality, Gordon wanted to facilitate the Pearson-Barnett marriage because it was the most important thing right now. So, he spoke to him in a conciliatory tone. “Aidan, no matter what, Anna is your sister. If you do this, what position do you put her and the Pearsons in?” “I don’t have a younger sister. You should know this the best,” Aidan answered calmly. “What nonsense are you saying?” Gordon snapped angrily. Then, Sienna interjected in time. “Aidan, we don’t owe you anything.

 

As the heir of the Pearsons, you’ve received everything we can give you. Now, I only want Anna to be married into the Barnett Family with dignity. Are you against this small request too?” With his expression remaining unchanged, Aidan said casually, “How will it be dignified when Zayn Barnett doesn’t like her?” “Feelings can be nurtured over time. Back then, weren’t you against it as well when your father wanted you to marry Leanna?” The look on Aidan’s face turned a little colder, but he didn’t say a thing. He couldn’t figure out what Leanna liked about Zayn; while dating her, he was speaking about marriage with another woman. Did she really like to be abused so much? Right when both parties were in a stalemate with no one willing to give in, a gentle voice that carried a light jovial tone belonging to a man echoed. “Looks like I arrived late. Is the discussion over?”

Don’t make trouble for him here; he has enough trouble taking care of the company. “But I—” “Anna, marriage is based on mutual agreement.” Sienna moved her lips as if she wanted to talk, but she never opened her mouth. “Justin, you aren’t young anymore. I didn’t force you previously, but it’s time for you to think about marriage,” Gordon said, annoyed by what Justin had said. Justin said slowly, in the same friendly way he always did, “I’m just a useless cripple. No one would want to marry me.” Gordon’s expression

I’ve already moved on, so you should do the same and look forward to what is ahead. Maybe all of this is meant to happen. I’m blessed to be alive.” Leaning on the stone fence, Aidan lit up a cigarette between his lips without saying anything. Unlike Aidan, whom Gordon and Sienna tried to control in the beginning for their own interests until they realized he couldn’t be placed under their control and tried to reduce his influence while looking for someone else to replace him, Justin knew he was hopeless for that position after he became paralyzed, and he had always taken it so lightly that he was disillusioned with the world and had no grudges at all. Instead of carrying on the topic, Justin changed to another one. “I heard that you’re

 

Aidan, your personality is too haughty. Girls need to be pampered a little more.” “You got it wrong. I don’t like her.” Then, he added, “She’s always reminded me of my dislike for her.” With a smile on his face, Justin shook his head, turned his wheelchair back to the scissors and continued to prune the plants. “Sometimes, when you’re in love, everyone around you has already noticed it but you’re the only one still in the dark.” He wasn’t completely off the mark with his assertions.
