Chapter 13 It's Not A Deal, It's My Request

Gregory said: "You don't know how much we loved each other back then and we understood each other's souls."

Silas's face was calm, but he couldn't help but think: Back then? This word is kind of annoying.

Gregory calmed down and continued: "When we first met, I was a junior, and Aura was a freshman. We were in love for 4 years. We left footprints in every corner of the school. Aura was the top computer science student. You know, every time it came to the end of the semester, she felt speechless at me because I couldn't help but want to see her, hug her, kiss her while she was busy studying and taking exams."

"She's so lovely, open-minded and kind that I couldn't believe it when I first found out about her upbringing. Mr. Francis, I don't know if you know that Aura is an orphan. She was adopted as a child, but unfortunately, both her adoptive father and mother were violent, and before Aura was adopted, the couple would fight each other when they had conflicts, but they disguised themselves well. After Aura went to the adoptive family, they bought her toys, took her out on tours, and introduced her to their friends and family as their daughter. Aura said that at that time she really felt that she was loved by fate."

Gregory's brows furrowed involuntarily: "But it didn't take long for her to go from heaven to hell. When we hung out, Aura never went to any amusement park, even when I explained how new and different a certain amusement park was. Later I learned that Aura has a psychological shadow on the amusement park. After she went to the adoptive family, her adoptive parents were really kind to her at first, but after going to the amusement park once, everything changed. Aura said that she She couldn't remember the reason for the dispute between her adoptive parents. All she remembered was that she had just finished a children's roller coaster when her adoptive mother took her home in a rage. Immediately after returning home, her adoptive parents began blaming and beating each other."

Gregory was very angry: "Aura was too young at that time. She foolishly advised her parents not to quarrel. She didn't expect that the couple who were quarreling would turn their fists on Aura. Aura was badly hurt, and the couple didn't take her to the hospital for fear that someone would find out about their abuse by taking her to therapy. Instead, they simply treated her her wounds at home."

Gregory drank the boiled water previously served by the waiter: "Sorry, I'm a little emotional."

Gregory said: "The couple even warned Aura not to speak out about their beatings, and they also deliberately blocked Aura's opportunity to communicate with the outside world alone. Every time Aura wanted to ask for help, she would get a meal when she was discovered. In this way, she spent more than half a year in dire straits. On the day she was rescued, the couple had a conflict with the neighbor who called the police, and Aura seized the opportunity and got help from the police."

"Aura said that she once really liked her adoptive parents, but then, she was afraid of them. She said she was very happy to be sent back to the orphanage. Later, others wanted to adopt her, but she refused."

Silas knew that Aurora was an orphan, and she explained it to him on the eve of their wedding, but when she told him she didn't want to talk about her past, he respected her and let it go. Now it seemed that...

Gregory took a few bites of the food that had turned cold, and his face was a little bitter: "These are all things Aura loves to eat."

"Before Aura broke up unilaterally, we had even bought our wedding house, planned when we would get married, what animals we would have, how many children we would have... In fact, we've talked about names for the cats we're going to have and the children we're going to have. Aura is sometimes domineering. She vetoed my proposed cat name and wouldn't let me appeal. She said it was up to her."

"We could have been very happy." Gregory smiled miserably: "I told myself more than once that Aura was the woman I loved and that I would make her happy for the rest of her life, but before I could do that, fate cruelly pushed her away from me."

A moment later, Gregory gathered his emotions. "Mr.Francis, I'm sorry, but my description is confused. Anyway, Mr.Francis, I'm telling you this because I want you to think about your marriage to Aura. Aura is the love of my life, and I would give anything to have her back. Mr.Francis, I know you married Aura for your daughter's sake, and I'm sure there's a way to explain Aura's departure to the little girl."

"I know it's too much to say that, but Aura also has the right to choose happiness, right? Mr. Francis, please give Aura back to me, and no matter what conditions you offer, I will try my best to achieve it.”

"Mr. Olsen is talking to me about a deal?" Silas sneered suddenly.

"Of course it's not a deal, it's my request. Mr. Francis, I've been looking for her for six years, and I beg you to do it for me."

"Why? Just because you love her?" Silas said. "Your story is wonderful, but I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed, Mr. Olsen. She's my wife now, and whether it's a request or a deal or whatever, I can tell you straight up, no way. I would advise you to leave Aura alone. You just need to remember that you two have nothing to do with each other, and Aura would never want to start over with you."

After looking at the time, Silas's voice showed a chill: "If there is nothing else, I will go home first, Mr. Olsen, please do it yourself."

"Does Aura love you? Do you love her?" Gregory said to Silas, who was turning to leave. "I won't give up."

Silas replied coldly: "Perhaps Mr. Olsen should study ethics and don't take pride in destroying my family."
