Bab 219: The Surname Caldwell

Cracking his knuckles behind his back, Alain tried his best to appear friendly on the outside. In his heart, he was cursing Aiden to death.

How dared he.

How dared Aiden snatch the position of Ryan's lover way before he, Alain, was formally acquainted with Ryan.

How dared he marry Ryan in death!

How dared Aiden become a vampire before Alain did!

And how dared Aiden show up at this time, when Alain was so close to solidifying his relationship with Ryan!

In his rage, there was nothing Alain would like to do more than grab Aiden and throw him off a bridge. But of course, he could not do that now. He had to stew in his rage and jealousy while enduring Aiden's presence.

"I have heard of your return, Aiden," he said with the warmest fake smile he could conjure. "Welcome back and congratulations on your wedding to Ryan."

"... Thanks."
