The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife

Chapter 1228

At Bentlond Villa the next day.

“Ari, why are you in such a hurry to leave Greyport?” Jaydon anxiously watched as Aria packed her

luggage.

“I have a very important business trip to Elmerton. I’m leaving today,” Aria said as she packed her

luggage.

Jaydon’s heart skipped a beat. He grabbed Aria’s arm tightly. “Do you have to leave?”

Aria replied firmly, “Yes!”

“But… I don’t want you to leave. Can you stay?” Jaydon’s tone was sincere and passionate.

“I really have a business to do. When I’m done with my work, I’ll come back to Greyport when I have

the chance,” Aria said and continued to pack.

“Ari, is the business you’re talking about another extremely dangerous mission?” Anxiety and worry

appeared in Jaydon’s eyes.

Aria’s eyes flickered. She paused for a few seconds before continuing to pack her things.

This mission to South Elmerton would definitely be very dangerous, and she went with the mindset that

she might not make it out alive.

She knew that there was no chance between her and Bruce. She was a woman with high aspirations

and would rather be single than settle. She couldn’t bring herself to compromise, let alone lower her

standards when it came to choosing a partner.

But honestly, she wouldn’t find a man who could surpass Bruce in this world.

Whenever she saw Bruce and Joanna being lovey-dovey, she felt like a knife stabbed her heart. It was

so painful that she wanted to die. However, she could not control this feeling.

Therefore, she decided to carry out the most challenging task. She could only stop her thoughts from

running wild by keeping her mind and body tense at all times.

“Ari, your current job is too dangerous. This is not a job for a woman.

“Can you… quit like Bruce and live the life of a normal woman?”

Aria looked at Jaydon coldly. “From the day I joined the organization, my life belonged to the

organization.

“I’m not going to run away from a fight, and I’m not going to give up halfway. I’m not going to allow

romance to hinder my duties and beliefs.”

“But the work you’re doing is too dangerous. You could easily lose your life! A person only has one life.

We have to cherish our lives…” said Jaydon.

When Aria heard this, she looked at Jaydon with some contempt. “You should feel honored and great

to be able to sacrifice yourself for the organization. An outstanding agent’s final destination is not a

hospital bed or a comfortable nest at home. It must be on a ‘battlefield.

“Only in this way could he die content, with his life imbued with meaning.”

Jaydon’s heart skipped a beat. There was a complicated look in his eyes.

He was really shocked by Aria’s words and even felt a sense of shame and inferiority.

“A woman like Aria was probably not someone I could handle. Her emotional guard was too strong.

Ordinary men couldn’t break through it.

“However, if I don’t take her down, there is a high chance that she will still focus all her attention on

Bruce,” thought Jaydon.

“Ari, I still think that we only have one life. We have to live well for ourselves.”

“Humph, if everyone is afraid of death, our country will not become strong.”

Jaydon was completely speechless.

He was just a commoner in business. He really did not have such noble aspirations and sentiments.

He would probably have it in the future, but he just wanted to run his business well for now.

For the past few days, he had been trying his best to woo Aria and make her happy.

Unfortunately, Aria was neither too cold nor too indifferent, showing no intention of continuing to be © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

close to him.

Aria finished packing her luggage.

Jaydon could not keep her, so he could only send her to the airport with a melancholic expression.

The two of them had just left the house and were about to get into the car.

There was a commotion at the entrance.

“Miss Basil, you can’t come in!”

Carmel Basil carried little Patricia and marched toward the entrance aggressively. “Look carefully. Do

you all understand who this is? She’s Mr. Grimm’s daughter, your boss’s precious young lady, and the

owner of this villa.

“Now that owner wants to go home, how dare you stop her?”

When the guard heard this, he looked helpless and conflicted. “Miss Basil…”

“Get out of the way. If you hurt my daughter, you won’t be able to pay for it with all your possessions.”

Carmel carried the child and forced her way in.

The guard did not dare to stop her at all and could only let her in.

From afar, Carmel saw Aria, and Jaydon was carefully opening the car door for her.

She rolled her beautiful eyes and jogged in her high heels. Before she reached the car, her sharp and

ear-piercing curse was already heard. “Oh, I’ve finally caught you, you flirtatious bitch!

“So it’s you who’s pestering my Jay. Go and ask around. How dare you snatch my man…”
