Chapter 747 - Two days before wedding (J&J) (8) (2/2)

Sarah closed her eyes and took a deep breath before turning to face her mother.

”Can we step out and talk? Please?”

Sarah was determined to refuse her mother's requests. Any discussion is useless unless her mother decides to spill everything. And since that is not likely to happen, what is the point in talking? They will just end up upset and hurting each other more. Sarah's determination wavered when she saw that her mother is troubled, and her eyes are full of… love.

Sarah glanced at Aiden who gently squeezed her hand, letting her know that whatever she does, he will support her.

”OK.” Sarah told Stella and two of them walked out of the event hall through the South side door.

JoAnna and Sophia followed with their sight Sarah and their mother and then their eyes met. Both sisters hope that Sarah and Stella can find some common ground and mend their relationship.

Aiden was also watching after Sarah and Stella until the doors closed after them. He was not sure what to expect… Aiden knows that Sarah can be rash and impulsive, but he also knows that she loves her mother. As much as he would like to follow and be there for Sarah to support her, he is aware that this is something that mother and daughter need to resolve between each other. Just the two of them.

Aiden's phone for security during the event vibrated, and he took the call.

”Young Master Aiden…”, voice came from the phone. Based on the way man addressed him, Aiden knows that is the White family bodyguard.

”Speaking.”

”There is a woman at the main entrance who requests to talk with you.”

”Who is it?” Aiden has no idea who would ask to see him specifically.

”Madison Turner. What should I say?”

Aiden thought for few seconds and then frowned. 'Madison? Why would she want to talk to me?' He has no intention of entertaining that woman. Did he even see her since they graduated from high school? He can't remember.

Of course, he is not aware that she is half-stalking him and attending every event she can if there is even a sliver of hope that he will be present… just so that she can see him. Madison even initiated a conversation with him at a party about a year ago, but he ignored her at that time. She was in a group of girls fawning over him, and she blended with that crowd… and now he forgot about it.

The White family bodyguards are trained in more than just fighting. The man definitely didn't disclose that Aiden is there, and he probably stepped away to make the call so that Madison can't overhear.

”Tell her I'm not here.” Aiden was about to hang up, when he heard the man talk again.

”Young Master Aiden… She does not have an invitation, so we told her to leave. At that time, she said that she does not want to go in, only to talk to you. And she knows you are inside because she saw you enter with a young woman in a silver dress.”

Aiden paused. She saw him with Sarah? Why would she bring up Sarah? Aiden's heart stopped beating. Madison knows about his past… She is part of his past! If he ignores her, she might make a scene… and attract attention. Sarah's attention…

Suddenly, Aiden's heart was beating like crazy, threatening to leave his chest. Anxiety which he successfully pushed away was back again!

So now besides those seven, he needs to concern himself with Madison as well? Maybe not. Who knows what she wants? They didn't interact in ages… Why would she request to see him? Maybe she is only hoping that he will grant her an entry so that she can get close to Jeff. In any case, he can't afford to ignore her. And he needs to deal with this quickly, before Sarah returns.

Aiden exhaled in frustration. ”I'm coming.”
