I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 12

The flustered Anna could not help but chase after him. “Zayn, please don’t ignore me. I promise I won’t bother you.” Zayn knitted his eyebrows as he started to feel a sense of helplessness, not knowing what to say. The entire scene was settled down at this point. Everyone was propped in their seats, so he had no choice but to remain seated and tolerate it for the rest of the night. That very sight was caught by Oscar and he clicked his tongue before sneering, “I didn’t expect Anna to have such a sweet side, but I’ve always wondered why she suddenly ran away without any notice and took so long to return.” “You have so many questions about her. Why don’t you ask her personally?” Aidan responded. “I’m just wondering.” “I don’t know.” Aidan had no interest in her life at all as he happened to be on a business trip to Dellshore when she left for abroad; both of them had not crossed each other’s paths until now. Soon, the press conference had begun. The founder of Lux Jewelry took the stage first to explain the history of entrepreneurship, followed by Harvey, who discussed the subsequent development strategy while stating that the first three models of the First Love series were merely the beginning; hence, more styles and series would be launched in the future. After the speech was the long-awaited fashion show. “Zayn, this series looks so good. I want them all,” Anna told her plus-one. However, he paid no attention to her. He merely looked at the exhibits on the models and took a peek backstage several times. According to Lux Jewelry, the designer would make an appearance today. Oscar, on the other hand, added, “McK truly lives up to her reputation as these are stunning pieces of art. I believe all the girls would love it. I can already feel the sweet and sour taste of first love emanating from these works.” However, Aidan ignored him and focused his attention on the necklace around the model’s neck. With Leanna’s fair skin, lean neck, and stunning collarbone, this necklace would look spectacular on her. Perhaps no one else could look better than her with that necklace on… Subsequently, his gaze lowered to the ring on the model’s hand. If Leanna doesn’t always cross the line, I don’t mind giving her a ring… “Let us welcome Miss McK, the designer of Lux Jewelry’s ‘First Love’ series, with the warmest applause!” The host invited her after the models had left the stage. Following the applause, a figure gradually appeared in front of the stage. “Hello, everyone. My name is McK and I work as a contract designer for Lux Jewelry.” “Holy sh*t, isn’t that your wife?” Oscar exclaimed in shock. A frowning Aidan was speechless while gazing deeply toward the stage. On stage, Leanna explained the product’s

design concept and materials under the guide of the host. “As we all know, the series ‘First Love’ targets younger consumers, so what does first love mean to you, Miss McK? Or, do you have any good memories of your first love?” the host asked. Taken aback by the public exposure, Leanna was disoriented and had no idea where to look. She regained her composure after being reminded by the host and then answered, “To me, first love is innocent and sweet. It will feel different each time you reminisce about it. As for memories, I believe that the most beautiful memories of first love are those that are kept hidden in the heart.” Aidan, who had been silent for a long time, calmed down and pointed out as if he made a discovery, “She is expressing her love for me.” Oscar was baffled by his blatant words. “She has no other first love other than me,” the now suddenly talkative Aidan explained. “Are you being serious?” Aidan hooked his lips and looked around the stage leisurely. Not bad… She does know how to please me. At this point, the media in the audience seized the opportunity by asking, “When was your first love, Miss McK?” After a long pause, she finally responded, “During my university days.” As if there were crickets in Aidan’s seat, Oscar was also dumbfounded by that. Wow. “Miss McK, since you can’t get him out of your mind, that person must be someone exceptional, right?” another reporter in the audience asked. After noticing Zoe, who was seated among the audience, signaling with her eyes continuously, the host finally reacted by axing the questions. “We won’t pry too deeply into Miss McK’s personal matters due to privacy. Let us continue with jewelry-related questions.” The host then led the conversation and shifted the topic. With that, everyone naturally stopped questioning about her first love and the focus returned to the press conference. Seated below the stage was Anna, who gritted her teeth and muttered in anger, “What’s the deal with her? This woman is revolting! She married my cousin, but she still pines for her first love!” After hearing her words, Zayn cocked his head and asked, “What did you say?” “Zayn, she is the woman I told you about! The woman who forced my cousin to marry her by faking her pregnancy, so don’t be fooled by her appearance. She schemes a lot and even my cousin has fallen for her tactics again.” The ‘deceived party’ seated in the corner wore a cold face and the corners of his lips pursed enough to show that he was suppressing his anger at the time. Beside him was Oscar, who was holding in his laughter for dear life in fear that he would burst into hysterics right at his seat. Just a moment ago, Aidan boldly showed off by saying, “She is

expressing her love for me.” The next thing he knew, his wife slapped him across the face with a reality check. After the press conference, the lights in the auditorium were turned back on and two figures stood up almost simultaneously. … As Leanna made her way to the backstage, her chest felt tight and her stomach was churning with a sign to vomit. After she took a sip of water, Zoe ran over immediately and gushed, “Nana, the conference was a success! The number of pre-sales is growing and the total pre-sale for our three products has surpassed a hundred thousand! This is crazy!” Hearing the good news, Leanna exhaled a sigh of relief. At least the outcome is favorable. “Has Zayn left?” Leanna inquired. She could not see anything as the lights in the auditorium were dim. “I’m not sure. I haven’t seen him earlier, but I don’t think he left. He’ll definitely come backstage to look for you…” At that moment, a tall and slender figure appeared at the door just as Zoe finished speaking. Aidan’s face was icy and his entire body was engulfed in a chilling aura. Leanna and Zoe exchanged glances with the same thought in mind upon his arrival. Why is he here? A few seconds later, Zoe felt the atmosphere getting more tense, which made her stutter a little. “I… Nana, I’ll meet you at the door. Both of you can chat first.” She bolted after saying that. At that moment, only the two of them were left in the dressing room. Aidan cast a light glance at the various pieces of jewelry on the table, then marched forward with his slender legs. “Are you going to give me an explanation?” Leanna had no idea where his terrifying aura came from. When she saw him approaching, she took two steps back and leaned against the table. “What… explanation?” Coming to a halt before her, he took the necklace placed behind her and narrowed his dark, enticing eyes. “What do you think?”NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
