Unveiling the Genius Behind the Divorcee Chapter 68 Chapter 68 Too Concerned About His Ex Lloyd observed Gavynâs expression through the rearview mirror. After so many times, he had noticed that whenever something related to Aylin was mentioned, Gavynâs face would visibly darken.
Gavyn still always mentions Aylin.
Lloyd really wanted to ask, Mr. Delacruz, since both of you are already divorced, Isnât it a bit too much to still care so much about Mrs. Delacruz? But he didnât dare to, fearing the consequences.
Gavyn noticed his hesitation and spoke coldly, âWhat do you want to say?â
Lloyd shook his head, âNo, nothingâs wrong.â
Gavyn let out a light hum, not bothering to argue with him. âFind someone to keep an eye on Old Mrs. Delacruz. Make sure she stays at home recently and doesnât do anything foolish!â
Aylin is full of cuming, schemes, and he must not give that woman any more opportunities to take advantage!
âYes, Mr. Delacruz, rest assured. So, Mr. Delacruz, would you like to go home now?â
Gavyn rubbed his temples with his knuckles, thinking about going home and facing Haleigh. He knew he wouldnât be able to avoid crying and talking about the stolen painting incident. Just hearing about it would only remind him of the main culprit, Aylin, which annoyed him.
âIâm not going home, Iâm going to the company!â
Recently, Aylin has been completely immersed in her work, until the day of the death anniversary arrived.
It seemed as if the sky itself was aware that today was the memorial ceremony for Aylinâs parents. The sunshine had disappeared, replaced by a leaden gray hue that filled the heavens. Dark clouds.
hung low, and a gentle drizzle fell softly to the ground.
Aylin stepped out of the CEOâs office lounge and poured herself a cup of coffee.
In order to prepare for todayâs memorial ceremony she stayed up late last night to handle a large amount of work. As a result, she still felt somewhat tired and sore. The hot water flowed gently, blurring her vision, so much so that she only realized someone had entered and called out to her when she finally saw them clearly.
âMs. Koch, I didnât expect you to be here so early!â Daniel was taken aback when he saw Aylin upon entering. It was only seven oâclock, and Aylin had already arrived.
Aylin pressed the off button, âHmm, I didnât go back yesterday.â
Upon looking up, I saw Daniel, who seemed momentarily stunned.
The other party was dressed neatly, wearing a black suit that matched her solemn black skirt. In her Arms, she held a bouquet of French irises, her motherâs favorite flowers when she was alive. Her Intentions couldnât be clearer.
Aylin took a sip of her coffee, âI can go by myself today, you donât need to accompany me.â
After drinking a cup of coffee, her mind became much clearer. However, having stayed up all night, the womanâs eyebrows revealed a hint of fatigue. Her dark dress only served to accentuate the paleness of her complexion.
Daniel had been with Timothy for inany years and had watched Aylin grow up. The once carefree and radiant Aylin now looked exhausted and pale, which broke Danielâs heart. He quickly went over to take the cup from her and set it aside.
âMs. Koch, I know youâre worried about Mr. Koch and Mrs. Koch, but you canât neglect your own health!â
âDonât even mention me, even Old Mr. Koch would feel upset seeing you like this! Ms. Koch, please donât refuse, let me accompany you today.â
In fact, Daniel only told half of the story. This time, he not only came for his own feelings, but also carried out Robertâs entrusted mission!
Last night, after having dinner, he suddenly received a call from Robert.
The other person spoke clearly and concisely, âIâve heard about Aylinâs situation. Youâre helping her now, right?â
To Danielâs surprise, Robert already knew the ins and outs of the matter. He respectfully said, âYes, Mr. Robert, do you have any instructions?â
âTomorrow is the death anniversary of Aunt Nina and Uncle Timothyâs death,â Robertâs voice was heavy over the phone. âShe must be under a lot of men tal stress during this time. Iâm worried that Aylin wonât be able to handle it alone tomorrow. You must go and accompany her, and make sure nothing goes wrong!â
Daniel immediately agreed, âThereâs no need for Mr. Robert to tell me, I already know what to do. Please donât worry.â
However, Robert simply couldnât rest easy. The thought of Aylin, all alone in her hometown facing the bad situation kept him awake throughout the night.
âWhenever sheâs in a bad mood, she canât eat much, so remember to buy some of her favorite snacks for the journey. Iâve checked the weather forecast for your area, and itâs been rainy and cool lately. Please help her prepare a blanket or a jacket, as she prefers warmth over cold...â
The usually irritable and arrogant Robert, now showed concern for Aylin like a caring mother in front of others.
Upon hearing this, Daniel couldnât help but tear up. Mr. Robertâs love for Ms. Koch was so deep, it was as if they were siblings!
âMr. Robert, youâre being too hard on yourself. This is something I should do anyway. Weâve all seen your affection for Ms. Koch, so thereâs no need for you to feel overly guilty.â
âUm, please donât tell her I called. And could you ask Daniel to take care of her temporarily? Iâll be back soon to protect her]â
Robertâs earnest advice still echoed in his ears, but Danielâs expression remained resolute as he said, âMs. Koch, Mr. Koch, and Mrs. Koch have been kind to me. If I donât go to see them, Iâd be heartless and ungrateful!â
Aylin knew that Daniel was wholeheartedly loyal to the Koch family and always followed her advice. So, she didnât say much more, and gracefully accepted the bouquet, examining it carefully.
The symbolism of the Iris flower represents unwavering emotions, just like the sincere love shared between her parents throughout their lives. The French Iris has large petals with brilliant colors and small ta**els, making it eye-catching even from a distance. As you get closer, you can also enjoy its unique sweet fragrance.
âI know my mother loves irises. Thank you, Daniel, youâre so thoughtful.â
Daniel waved his hands repeatedly, âI only learned all this from following Mr. Koch. Whenever Mr. Koch finished work, he would always talk about watering the flowers for Mrs. Koch, and I gained some knowledge from that.â
Gently placing the porcelain cup down, Aylinâs eyes and brows softened a bit.
I still remember the warm room in our house since I was a child, filled with all kinds of precious flowers, all of which were symbols of my fatherâs love for my mother. My earliest memories of learning about flowers were when my mother held me as a young child, pointing out each one and telling me about them...
Memories can be quite contagious. As Aylin and Daniel reminisced, their eyes welled up with tears, yet it created a heartwarming scene.
Seeing that it was getting late, the two of them left the house.
At this moment, at the Delacruz residence.
Haleigh lounged on the soft couch, her face covered with an anti-aging mask gifted by Laila. She relaxed leisurely, her bright red fingernails gesturing as if she were giving grand directions.
âAh, canât you see? Over here and that spot there, you missed these areas. Please wipe them down more thoroughly!â
In the living room, a vinyl record was playing as Haleigh hummed along to the upbeat tune. She had been through a lot lately and desperately needed to enjoy life and unwind!
As the lyrics reached âstill the flowers bloom in my dreams,â the phone rang unexpectedly.
Who is so annoying?
However, as soon as she caught a glimpse of the name on the caller ID, she immediately sat up straight and answered the pone, âHello? Whatâs up, is there any progress on the matter?â
Ever since Haleigh was outwitted by Ayllni, she had been longing for an opportunity to take revenge personally. Finally, she found out that Aylin had started working at the Koch Group, and now there was a clear path to settle the score!
âOf course, our people are professionals, and this time weâve uncovered some incredible news about her!â
