The President’s Stubborn Love

In public, Nola smiled tenderly and thoughtfully, and the way she held Aaron’s arm caught the eyes of all the guests.

Nola had the good sense to withdraw her hand just as Aaron was about to make a move.

“There are elegant rooms inside, let’s go in and talk.”

So saying, she turned and walked inside without a moment’s hesitation.

Aaron’s eyes sank, glancing lightly in the direction Sherry had left, still walking towards Nola.

Taxis are rarely available near such upscale hotels and Sherry’s mobility is difficult with those high heels, so she has to carry the pricey heels and walk barefoot on the gravel road.

The touch beneath her feet was cold to the touch, but it was as if she couldn’t feel it anymore.

In the back of my mind, I can’t stop thinking about the way Aaron and Nola stood together just now, Aaron towering over the Garcia Family daughter.

She was really, really ill-informed.

Sherry stood on the street for a long time, so long that she didn’t even notice a car pull up beside her.

The man’s harsh gaze fell on her and he frowned, “Crazy?”

Sherry slowed down to see a heavy suit jacket thrown over her shoulder and the usual cold commanding tone overhead, “Get in.”

Sherry hung her head and was silent for a moment.

Throwing the blazer directly over his shoulder to the floor, along with the high heels.

“Don’t worry Mr. Swift, I’m not going to die out in the clothes you gave me, I can’t return this dress to you for now, I’ll bring it to the office first thing in the morning.”

She was already in such a sorry state, yet she didn’t hesitate half as much as she did, and only gave Aaron a faint look before averting her gaze.

“Me and you, we don’t go together.”

Her look of strength pierced the bottom of Aaron’s eyes.

Not the Sherry of the past who was subservient at Swift Family, not the woman who was rumored to have loved him for years but was afraid to say so.

Aaron stared at her back, a nameless fire running through him.

She’d rather walk back downtown barefoot than take his car?

“OK, Sherry, count on you …”

Before the words were out of his mouth, the thin figure in front of him fainted and fell to the ground.

Aaron sprinted over to her and scooped her up into his arms. Sherry didn’t eat much the whole time, just a glass of juice, and Aaron gazed at her pale face, her tightly closed brow.

Emotions flip-flopped in the mind.

“If it was the Smith Family who set you up behind the scenes, I’m bound to help you out with that, but if you set yourself up and lied to me, I won’t let you off the hook.”

But the words came out of his mouth and his hand tightened and tightened.

Just by the unruffled look of resistance in Sherry’s eyes when she had just seen him, he could almost conclude that she couldn’t have done it.

Aaron was distraught and took Sherry straight to the hospital.

Three hours later.

Sherry woke up from her hospital bed and the nurse showed her the diagnostic notes.

“Anaemia, combined with chronic malnutrition.”

Sherry said thank you, in a mute voice.

She sat up and the image that came to her mind before her consciousness blurred, that she was in Aaron’s car, Sherry instantly lifted the covers and got out of bed.

Sherry went to the nurse’s desk, “I’m sorry, I haven’t raised the money for the operation yet, but I’ll make up the medical bills first, I’m really sorry, I hope I can be excused for a few more days.”

Which knew that the nurse looked at her and said directly, “No need, the hospital has issued a notice that it will simply waive all the patient’s treatment fees, in addition, the operation is scheduled for next Tuesday, haven’t you received the notice?”

Sherry’s entire body was dumbfounded.

She never believed in pie in the sky.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

After reading the surgery schedule, I immediately rushed out of the hospital and headed to Swift Family.

Aaron had only just eaten breakfast when he saw Sherry standing on the steps in her hospital gown, her trouser legs covered in mud, with a tired look on her face.

He stared coldly and said, “nanny, let her in.”

Nanny immediately did as she was told. The morning was still cool and Sherry shivered and sneezed a few more times in quick succession.

Still breathing heavily, she came to Aaron, “Thank you”

Aaron paused in his stance.

A cold smile, “Thanks for what?”

“Thank you for getting the hospital to schedule surgery for my mother.” Her hands clasped her nails and her head hung low.

For a long time, the atmosphere was stagnant.

Sherry could feel a not-so-gentle gaze sweeping over her head.

Then came a cold, “Go and drive.”

He ripped the buttons off his shirt and headed upstairs.

Sherry watched his back from the bottom of the steps, her heart churning with emotion for a long time.

On the road, Sherry concentrated on driving.

This morning’s news came over the radio, “Smith Group’s share price is at a new low again, an informed source from the Integrity Department revealed that Smith Group is suspected of corruption and bribery in a number of projects, and its group legal person Mr. Smith was summoned in the early hours of this morning in accordance with the law … ”

Sherry froze for a couple of seconds.

Just as the light was red, her eyes shifted upwards to look in the rear-view mirror at the man in the back seat.

Is it possible that he had something to do with this?

Did he make a point of taking her to the Smith Family dinner last night just to put pressure on the Garcia Family?

No.

The light came on and Sherry stepped on the accelerator, but not before another car sped past, and Sherry braked sharply and the car collided with the lorry going in the opposite direction.

Luckily, Aaron and she were fine.

“How do you drive!” The lorry driver came down and slapped the window and scolded, “Driving such a nice car without eyes?”

Sherry wanted to explain.

In the back Aaron had pushed open the car door and stepped out.

He went around to the car and looked at the marks of the collision, his brow locked in displeasure.

Another glance at the time on his wristwatch and his eyes deepened.

Sherry immediately got out of the car too, “Sorry, it was just because of that car …”

But the truck driver was so desperate that he didn’t care what Sherry said and pushed her away, “Anyway, you pay me back, this truckload and my moral damages, half a million dollars!”

As he yelled this, passers-by gathered around.

It was supposed to be a traffic accident, but the lorry driver soon called many of his friends, and in time Sherry was surrounded by them.

“If you don’t pay, you’re not leaving today.”

“Call the police, call the police now, this roadkill is still on the road? And driving such a nice car.”

Aaron stood outside the crowd with a cold face and just watched her.

Sherry suddenly thought of the scene at the Smith Family dinner yesterday, and no matter what happened to her, Aaron would never step in to help her.

What’s more, she had wrecked his car.

But she insisted that she had not caused the accident just now.

“Call the police, I agree to call the police.”

That truck driver froze, saying “I have no time to wait for the police to deal with, you pay out on the line, drive such a good car, half a million?”

Sherry stares.

These people, extortion?

“Come on!” Someone tried to hold Sherry’s shoulders down.

But before that hand could touch her, it was pushed away.

Sherry looked up, only to see Aaron’s broad back in front of her, his voice both cold and unfeeling, “She’s just the driver, talk to me if you want money.”
