The President’s Stubborn Love

Chapter 29 – The Bait



In Andrew’s eyes, there is only Sherry.

When Nola was bruised, there were many people in front and behind her, but Sherry was surrounded by no one, and she had to hide.

Andrew had seen images like that tonight and made a secret vow to himself that he would never make her feel that bad again.

Aaron sat in his seat in the cafe, his gaze growing cold.

He wanted to see if Andrew was as unconcerned as he said he was, so, unconcerned.

Sherry didn’t stay in Andrew’s room the whole time, she stood by the window and also saw Aaron and Nola returning to the hotel by car, she made sure she had a good time for Aaron’s video conference and knocked directly on Nola’s room door.

“S… how it’s you!”

Nola appears to be in good spirits with the gauze on her wrist.

Sherry laughed dismissively, “Mr. Swift is in a meeting with the director of the AURO group right now that will last about an hour and a half, neither he nor Eral are likely to be here.”

As Aaron’s trainee assistant, keeping track of his whereabouts is a breeze.

Seeing for herself that Sherry knows more about Aaron’s schedule than she does, Nola is even more jealous.

“I wasn’t the one who touched you in the lift just now, how many times have you played that smear tactic, don’t you get tired of it?” Sherry gazed into Nola’s face and slowly called out the name Nola had used when she was studying abroad, “Olivia.”

Nola’s pupils jerked.

“Back then, when you slandered me for pushing you down the stairs, you were just as churlish, the same old trick, nothing new at all.”

Sherry spoke clearly, also watching Nola’s expression up close.

“What, Nola doesn’t remember the name she used when she studied abroad? Then do you remember the only time you and Aaron traveled abroad and stayed in that hotel; I think it was called …”

“What the hell are you going to say!”

Nola couldn’t keep her composure at all, her chest heaving as she shouted angrily, “I don’t want to see you, so get out of here right now.”

“Nola, you’re the one who came to mess with me, and I’m telling you today that I’ll dig up a little bit of what you did before, so next time don’t pull this little stunt, it’s ridiculous.”

Sherry turned around, the hatred in her eyes disappearing instantly without a trace.

She can hide her emotions well enough now, but Nola is not as stoic and introspective as she is, and after Sherry leaves, she locks herself in her room for hours.

Been contacting previous teachers and classmates to find out what Sherry has been checking out!

In the first place, the truth about her pregnancy must never come out.

Sherry went back to her room and laid her whole body down on the double bed, Nola would have found a way to erase some traces if she knew she was investigating her, Sherry just needed to have hard evidence at this point!

There was no way to get Nola to confess based on the things she had investigated so far, and what she had said was just a scam to get Nola to confess.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

It is those who have ghosts in their hearts that reveal themselves.

This is the bait she put out.

Sherry had been resting in her room for a while when she heard a knock at the door.

Her heart clenched violently as she pulled open the door and it was Eral.

“Sherry, this is the burn cream, Mr. Swift asked me to bring it to you.” Eral handed over a small pill box and then also pointed down to the dress bag sitting by the door, “Sherry, is this for you?”

Sherry glanced at the bag and the brand logo was prominent on it.

It is owned by the Andrew Group.

Sherry was busy saying, “Yes, it’s mine.”

She took it into the room in a hurry, fearing that Eral would see it.

The door closed and Eral pushed down his framed glasses and turned to go back to his room.

Soon, Aaron’s phone rang.

“Mr. Swift, the stuff is delivered.”

By the end of the evening, as per the time on the invitation, Sherry changed into that dress and walked over alone.

She thought the dress was from Andrew.

Once inside, she looked for Andrew, but to her surprise, it was someone else who appeared in front of her.

Aaron’s eyes were full of stars and a slightly careless tease, “You’re quite aggressive in order to meet up with Andrew, what, afraid he’ll run away?”

Sherry took a half step back.

“Mr. Swift, I am also invited to this dinner tonight, so please make way.”

That relationship between her and him was in the past tense, and although he was now her boss, he was in no position to force her to do anything on such an occasion.

When Sherry said this, she was prepared for the fact that Aaron was a respectable man who would not embarrass her in public, but what he would do behind her back was uncertain.

But she is not afraid.

She was determined to leave Aaron, and there was no turning back.

Sherry’s slightly raised chin, paired with that dress, lifted her entire demeanor by a huge margin and carried a look of astonishment that was impossible to take your eyes off. As soon as she appeared, several men were already looking at her.

Aaron was the first to go, so the others were deterred.

In business, they can’t beat Aaron, and when it comes to women, they don’t have Aaron’s handsome face or rich wallet.

After all, he is the most talked about prince charming in town by the rich and famous.

As long as he is not married, there are countless women waiting to date him, which is, perhaps, one of the reasons for his unruly personality.

Because there is never a shortage of women, he has never been hung up on them, plus, for the past three years Sherry has been submissive to him, swallowing all her torment, and Aaron has gotten used to her begging and aggravated look.

Who is this beautiful, delicate, porcelain doll-like woman in front of me!

How could the woman who clearly slept by his pillow night after night become so strange? No, he wanted the old Sherry who had submitted to his feet.

“You won’t get away with it.”

He glanced down with a soft smile, stepped around Sherry and headed for the back.

As he left, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Before he had time to consider what Aaron had just said, suddenly the lights in the room dimmed, followed by a chasing light falling on Sherry.

“Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome our first pair of guests to lead the dance tonight.”

Leading a dance?

Sherry was confused as dozens of eyes fell on her from around the room.

Her hands were tugging at the hem of her skirt, what was going on? She hadn’t found Andrew yet.

There was a murmur in the crowd.

“Where is her male companion?”

“It’s not going to be dumped.”

Sherry hadn’t been watched like this since she left school, and her cheeks gradually burned as she dodged the eyes of the men, wanting nothing more than to panic and run away.

As soon as Sherry looked up, she met a pair of teasing eyes under the dim light.

Aaron just waited there and watched her joke.

Sherry’s hand secretly twisted around the hem of her skirt, was she going to run? Countless thoughts flooded her mind and her breathing became more and more labored.

She struggled for a long time but finally hung her head.

Just when Sherry thought Andrew wasn’t going to show up, a voice sounded behind her, “Sorry I’m late.”
