บท 62: Why Did You Marry Him?

Jax looked at Aryana interestingly.

"You are so confident.  Wanna bet?  If you lose then buy me a meal?"  Jax wanted to pour more wine into her glass but Aryana refused.

"If you lose?"  Aryana asked him

"I'll buy you a meal."  He said lightheartedly.

Aryana shook her head.  "This is Erik's and my personal matter.  It is not something for betting."  She finally said. 

Aryana felt an intimidating presence beside her and when she looked back she saw George Lee standing behind her.

"Excuse me, Aryana, I'll go mingle with my uncles."  Jax hesitated then he looked at Aryana with concern and pity in his eyes before he turned around and left.

"Oh, it's you, Mr. George Lee."  She said politely.

The old man held her gaze.  His eyes were dark brown just like Erik's but they were more fierce and chilling.  Aryana felt suffocated and she tried to breathe calmly.

"How did you and Erik meet?"  He asked sternly.
