Richest Mogul

Chapter 1663

Wendy really wanted to ask Aiken why he hadn't told her he had fallen for someone else, but she knew it wasn't in her nature to question him like that. Besides, their relationship now...

Her friends all knew she was Aiken's girlfriend, but others didn't understand the situation. In Aiken's mind, she was probably just an afterthought, especially over the past six months, when their bond had slowly unraveled. She wasn't even sure when it had started, but they used to see each other several times a week. Then, three months ago, on Simona's birthday, they both got drunk and ended up sleeping together.

Aiken hadn't reached out to her since.

It was just that one time, and they hadn't used protection. Afterward, Wendy had been too busy and had forgotten to get the morning-after pill.

"Why didn't you finish drying your hair?" Aiken stood up and walked toward her. Wendy took a step back.

With each step Aiken took, her mind wandered back to Zera's words. She couldn't shake the thought that maybe, during their moments of intimacy, Aiken had grown disgusted with her. Perhaps, all this time, he had only ever pitied her.

She laughed bitterly at herself before looking at Aiken and saying, "I didn't have the patience to finish drying it. Did you need something?"

She stared at him, trying to read his intentions. Suddenly, she found herself wondering if he had come here to declare that they were over. He must have doted on Zera and didn't want to hurt her.
