Chapter 912 You Are The Reason (2/2)

Soon, the party was over and the guests began to leave one by one. Lawrence asked Anna if he could take her home and she agreed.

When she saw Lawrence escort Anna inside his car, Ivy unconsciously gritted her teeth and balled up her fist. She wished she could pull Anna out of the passenger's seat. 'That's supposed to be my seat, ' Ivy thought to herself.

Lawrence drove away and Ivy could only stare after them. Alice and Tim came out from the hall, arm in arm. They walked towards Ivy and, with an eyebrow raised, Alice told her, ”Don't worry. Lawrence asked to arrange for a driver to take you home and he's on his way.

“Who does she think she is? I won’t marry her even if she is the last woman on earth,” said Hiram Rong.

“Marry into a family with tens of billions of assets? How lucky I am! I won’t be so foolish as to break off the engagement. At worst, I can receive money as part of the divorce settlement,” said Rachel Ruan.

Their great-grandfathers made a pact about their engagement a hundred years ago...

went good. You know me, I'm so good at sales and marketing. I'm always articulate. My supervisors all love me. I never fail my work.”

When Lawrence didn't say anything, she knew something was definitely bothering Lawrence. She looked into his eyes, and asked, ”Why are you suddenly interested in my work?”

”It's nothing, just forget about it,” Lawrence tried to change the subject. Lawrence didn't know how to tell her what was going on. He just wanted a peaceful life and he didn't want anyone or anything to disrupt his life.

Aria wrapped her arm around Lawrence. ”Wow, is Mr. Lawrence now interested in my work? I'm flattered,” she teased.

”But I'm always interested in your work,” Lawrence protested. He always was interested in her work. But when he was in front of Aria, he found it hard to explain himself rationally.

”No, it's not that. But you don't like it when I work all the time. And then today, you asked me about my work. I was just surprised,” Aria explained.

”I worry that someone at your work will sweep you off your feet and you'll leave me. It's hard for me to share you with other men,” Lawrence professed with his eyes on Aria's.

Aria's heart melted at Lawrence's words. Since they became a couple, Lawrence had loved her with all his heart and had always treated her well. He was so infatuated with her. That was why it was so easy for her to give her whole heart and body to him, too.

”Lawrence Chu,” Aria stated his full name proudly.

Lawrence turned to gaze at Aria.

”You're a very rich and powerful man. So many women try to win your graces and affection every day. Why didn't you ever look at them?” Aria asked, with all honesty. She wanted to know.

Lawrence was silent, his eyes still on Aria's, but unsure what to say.

”Why me? Why do you love me?” Aria continued. She was filled with curiosity.

”Do you really want to know why?” Lawrence finally opened his mouth to answer Aria's question.

”Yes, I do,” Aria responded almost too quickly.

”I love you for no reason. But you're the reason I won't even look at another woman,” he replied.
