Chapter 1013 She Is Back (1/2)

At the international airport, a woman in a loose, puce-colored long cotton dress could be seen. Her long, curly hair was claret-red. She wore large sunglasses that covered most of her face. The latest edition Chanel bag hung on her right shoulder and her chic look was complete with thirteen centimeter-high white heels.

Her right arm was linked in an older woman's who wore a simple chiffon top, black trousers and heels of one and a half inches. Selina was the image of elegance. Her sunglasses were perched on her forehead, giving a clear view of her face.

The transformed Aria walked out of the airport exit with Selina.

”Aria, are you really sure you don't want to come home with me?” Selina asked, feeling concerned.

Aria looked over at the man walking toward them, who was pushing a luggage cart. He was Wilson.

”Yes, I've decided I'm going to hide from Lawrence for some days and then plan a big surprise for him,” Aria said, an adorable smile plastered over her face.

At the same time, Wilson walked up beside Selina, having overheard Aria. ”Do you plan to tell Lawrence that you'll only come back next month? He will go mad kicking his heels. Oh, my poor, dear Lawrence!” Wilson teased her, his voice rising high dramatically. He was already treating her as Lawrence's wife.

”Uncle, don't make fun of me anymore!” Aria's cheeks flushed. She was a little embarrassed at Wilson's playful banter. ”Isn't there a financial business party in two days? I am the invited guest! Lawrence will certainly attend it, so we might meet each other there.” Aria was cooking up scenarios in her head of how they would meet. She looked forward to it with her whole heart.

”Naughty girl! Fine, it's up to you. We support you,” Selina said, smiling. She didn't understand these games young people liked to play, but they were in love, so she allowed them to do what they wanted.

”Aria, now can we tell our family how you were living abroad these two years?” Selina glanced at her with warm eyes.

”Of course. Anyhow, it wasn't a bad thing. I believe my ability has reached the levels I wanted. It's just a matter of time I tell everyone how it all happened,” Aria replied, nodding. She was deeply moved by Selina and Wilson's understanding and support these two years. ”Uncle, Auntie, thank you so much for caring about me and for letting me do what I wanted to do. You even hid it from others for my sake. I'm very grateful.”

”Silly girl, we feel guilty about how little we could do. We should have done more so you didn't have such a hard time these last couple of years. I am so sorry,” Selina said, feeling rather uncomfortable. These two years, she hadn't done anything to help Aria, although she kept an eye on her from a distance. Sometimes, she used to feel that life had been too hard on Aria and she wouldn't hold up under the pressure. But Aria had made it. She had done it all by herself. Selina truly admired her resilience.

”Auntie, it's okay!” Aria said, wrapping an arm around her shoulder. ”See? I am a different person now. I have become a public figure. I've earned my worth. You guys should be happy, not upset. If I hadn't taken the decision to be independent that time, I wouldn't have made such strides today.”

Seeing Selina's distress, Wilson also tried to console her. ”Aria is right. All our difficulties have been overcome. Now, we should look forward to a happy future.”

Selina nodded, a weak smile spreading across

“Let's go and register our marriage on your birthday!”
