Chapter 130: I Need Her

A guard's call interrupted Hayri's thoughts on what happened on Allyza's launching. No matter how Allie tried to pretend her full commitment to his marriage proposal, her silent cues did nothing to conceal the truth. He knew he still loved Adrian, now her ex-husband. He saw the pain in her eyes, the quiet struggles she did that day. He felt the bitterness she felt inside and understood the sparks of longing in her stolen gazes at him.

His worries intensified in the fact that Adrian's engagement was dissolved. It would have been easier if he would be marrying Jane, at least Allie would have no choice but to forget, move on and start anew. But now that Adrian's identity made him free, he was afraid that while she would be with him, her heart would still long for her ex-husband.

"Sir, someone wants to talk to you. He said his name is Adrian," the loudspeaker mode made Mr. Dioko turn his head towards his son.
