Their Bundle Of Joy

Chapter 32 I Really Like It

"That's mine..." Isabel said as her voice weakened.

Isabel had a guilty conscience.

The owner of that cufflink 17 years ago was clearly Aiden.

She took it secretly when he left.

Having been with her for 17 years, she developed inexplicable feelings for that cufflink.

Yes, she was deeply attached to that cufflink.

It was as if so long as the cufflinks were there, her secret crush was justified.

She didn’t expect Aiden to “swipe” the cufflink the night he sent her home.

"This is under investigation; tell me, how did you get this cufflink?" Aiden threw the information Ewan

gave him before Isabel.

He recalled that the little girl he saved was surnamed Herrera, so this Isabel could not have been the

little girl he saved.

"I... I found it." Isabel bit her lip as she lied.

Subconsciously, she didn't want Aiden to know that she had a crush on him for 17 years, and that when

she was 18 years old, she mistakenly thought Adam was him and slept with Adam.

No, Aiden cannot know about this.

"Where did you find it?" Aiden continued to ask; he twirled the signature pen in hand, with the

domineering presence of a CEO. Even if it was just a small, casual action, he performed it withThis content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

forcefulness.

The kind of CEO presence, which she used to think was tacky, now made Isabel blush and her heart

race.

"When I was a kid, I found it on the road. It looked nice so I used it as a pendant." Having said that,

Aiden still made no intentions to return it to her, so Isabel softened her voice and pleaded, "Aiden, I

have worn it for more than ten years, give it back to me, okay?"

Someone like Aiden might give in to pleading rather than force.

So she might as well give it a shot.

"More than ten years? Has it been that long?"

"Yes, more than ten years. Now, here’s your new one, I’ll take the old one." Although the old and new

were both cufflinks, they held different sentimental feelings on her key chain.

The old one represented her decade-long crush.

The new one was foreign like a stranger.

It was as if Aiden was preventing her from continuing to love him in secret.

It made her feel flustered.

She unhooked the new cufflink from her key chain and placed it on the table. Aiden didn’t reply yet, so

at this time, she could only stare at the old cufflink. She didn’t dare to take it.

Aiden looked at her rattled behavior and couldn't help but smile, then he picked up and fidgeted the old

cufflink, "I have my reasons for not returning it to you. It’s back with its original owner." The little girl

from 17 years ago flashed in his mind. He could still remember the way she leaned softly in his arms.

Unfortunately, there was no more news of her since then.

Having heard this, Isabel knew he didn't want to return it to her at all. She immediately became

agitated, so she rushed over and grabbed it into her own hands.

The moment their fingertips touched, a feeling like an electrical current shot straight to her heart, then

she realized that she had made a mistake again.

As she held the cufflink she just took, Isabel lowered her head, "I'm sorry, I really like it; can I keep it?"

Aiden was a little speechless. He didn't expect Isabel would act like that, and he smiled slightly, "So,

what brings you to see me today, hum?"

Isabel then remembered her purpose of coming to see Aiden, and at the same time she cheerfully put

away the cufflink.

Since he changed the subject, he must have agreed to return the cufflink to her.

After a long sigh of relief, she said, "I'm here to ask you to let Abby go."

"Isabel, is your brain alright? She slapped you, and the things she’s said are even worse. Such a

person should suffer a bit to learn a lesson, no?"

"But...but..." Isabel still wanted to persuade Aiden to let Abby go, but couldn't find any words to refute

Aiden.

Aiden stroked his forehead, "I'll give you another chance; do you really want to let Abby go?"

Isabel bit her lip habitually, "Yes."

Even she didn’t know herself anymore. Since she raised Daniel by herself, she had never been so yea

and nay; but after she has met Aiden, she wavered.

"Fine, Abby will be free tomorrow."

"Aiden, thank you." Hearing Aiden's determined tone, Isabel thought inexplicably, it felt good to have

him there.

If she could go back in time to five years ago, she definitely would not have slept with Adam. Now, she

was determined to pursue Aiden, starting from scratch.

But in this world, the past was set in stone and could not be changed anymore.

What she can do now was to raise Daniel step by step, one step at a time.

There was no hesitation.

As the saying goes, out with the old, in with the new.

Yet Isabel returned the new cufflink and took the old one back. She felt reassured as she put the old

cufflink back on her key chain.

As she left Howard Group Headquarters, she still felt like her head was in the clouds. She actually went

into Howard Group Headquarters and met Aiden, to everyone’s surprise.

It was a feeling of bliss.

That night, Isabel dreamed again.

She dreamed that Aiden rode a white horse and galloped towards her. As he got close, he pulled her

onto the horse with his big hand. The two of them rode on together, with her in his arms.

She relished in the embrace that thousands of girls could only dream of.

When she woke up, there was no one around her; no Aiden, not even Daniel.

Friday arrived in a flash.

In the evening, Isabel arrived at the Sage United School by bus.

All kinds of luxury cars parked in the front gate, and even the cheapest one must have at least cost

hundreds of thousands. She was the only parent who came by bus.

For the past few days, Daniel would video chat with her every day for a few minutes after dinner. The

child looked happy and excited.

He looked much happier than at the previous kindergarten.

If it wasn’t for the daily videos, Isabel couldn't possibly have endured. She would have sneaked to

school to take a peek at Daniel.

"Hello, I’m here to pick up Daniel." Isabel went to the guard to register.

The guard faintly scanned Isabel, and said, "Do you have a card to enter the premises?"

Isabel was stunned. Aiden had always accompanied her when they dropped Daniel off; there was no

admission card. "I... I don't have a card, but my son is really in this kindergarten. I’m here to pick him

up."

"Sorry, we can't let you in without a card."

Isabel became anxious, so she hurriedly called Daniel, but he didn’t answer.

She was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, she missed her child so much.

This was the first time since Daniel was born that she had been separated from her child for so long.

If she knew how troublesome this place would be, she never would have sent Daniel to this

kindergarten.

As she panicked, someone suddenly patted her on the shoulder. She turned her head by reflex, and

the man stared at her and said, "Come on, let’s go pick up Daniel."
