Chapter 212 Fostering Her New Romance
As night fell, Aylin finished dealing with her company’s affairs and took a ride back home.
As soon as the mahogany door of the Koch’s home was pushed open, a tall and handsome figure could be seen standing by the living room window.
Robert was holding his phone, seemingly talking to someone on a call.
The man’s usually gentle voice was now filled with coldness, “How do you even handle things? Haven’t I told you not to let that D-list model in? Do you take my words as mere whispers in the wind?
I’m giving you one more chance to make her disappear from Aylin’s sight. If you fail again, you can all get lost, a bunch of useless idiots!”
The sound of the door opening made Robert, with his cold expression, turn his head.
In the moment he caught a glimpse of Aylin from the corner of his eye, he spoke his final words, “Remember what I’ve said!”
After saying that, the anger and resentment on his face disappeared instantly, as if melted away by a gentle spring rain. All that was left in his eyes and brows was affection, “Aylin, are you back?”
He personally welcomed Aylin and invited her to sit on the couch.
“Robert, don’t get so worked up, it’s bad for your health,” Aylin said as she pulled him to sit down on the couch, feeling touched. “I know you care about me, but it’s not good to be so emotional all the time.”
“It’s nothing, just those incompetent fools… Never mind.”
Robert led Aylin to sit down, gently lifting his chin and pointing at a plate of exquisite American-style dessert on the table. “Look what I’ve brought you to eat,” he said with a smile.
Aylin’s eyes lit up when she saw the packaging, “Fondante’s Bakery’s lemon cupcake?”
Fondante’s Bakery is a renowned American-style dessert shop in New York, offering a limited number of servings each day. You can only purchase and get a ticket in the morning, and even then, it’s not guaranteed that you’ll be able to buy one.
Aylin’s favorite treats from this place are the lemon cupcakes and strawberry cupcakes.
“Wow, thank you, Robert.”
Holding the dessert, she flashed a radiant smile and returned to being the beloved little sister pampered by her brother. “Robert, you know me so well. After a long day, this is exactly what I want to eat.”
Robert gently touched her hair, his expression subtly shifting with complexity as he recalled the heated debates on Twitter.
He squinted and snorted, “I didn’t expect that kid to actually have a change of heart. If only I hadn’t answered the phone late, it wouldn’t have been his turn.”
Aylin twisted a piece of lemon cupcake and slowly ate it, wondering, “That kid? Robert, are you talking about Ryker?”
Robert glanced at Aylin, raising an eyebrow, “You still don’t know?”
“What do you know?”
After resolving the issue, Aylin returned to the company to handle business matters and didn’t spend more time on Twitter looking at the public opinion entanglements.
Robert’s expression was subtle, and after a moment of silence, he said, “It’s Gavyn. Check Twitter.” Gavyn.
Did he also stick his nose in?
Aylin frowned as she opened Twitter and saw the top trending topic: [Vertex Entertainment acquired by the Delacruz Group.] As she scrolled down, all the recommended posts were about Sebastian going bankrupt and losing his reputation.
At this critical moment, acquiring Vertex Entertainment?
Robert didn’t understand what Gavyn was up to, but he followed his intuition and let out an annoyed, cold hum while pursing his lips.
“Now we know how Aylin is doing, right? It’s too late! He fed his conscience to the dogs long ago, and it’s no use having a change of heart now. Aylin, this guy is probably regretting his actions and trying to make amends with you. Don’t fall for his tricks.”
“Impossible.”
Aylin shook her head calmly, “He always thinks things through before acting; it couldn’t possibly be because of me.”
Upon hearing this, Robert’s frown deepened. “Why would he do all this? I’ve never heard of any issues between him and Sebastian before, and the Delacruz Group isn’t even primarily focused on film and television.”
Why did they choose to acquire their company at such a critical moment?
To put it simply, this whole misunderstanding is like a muddy mess. Aylin has sufficient evidence and Ryker’s support to turn the situation around. Butting in would actually bring no benefits at all.
If it’s not a change of heart, Gavyn’s argument doesn’t make sense from a profit perspective.
“It doesn’t mean we can’t acquire it just because it’s not our main focus in film and television.”
Aylin’s eyes were calm and composed, analyzing the situation entirely from the perspective of a company manager.
“Although the main business of the Delacruz Group is different from Vertex Entertainment, the sharp drop in Vertex Entertainment’s stock price makes it a great time to invest. Whether we decide to sell later or venture into film and television, it’s a solid foundation to build upon.”
He was rendered speechless.
Robert watched as Aylin denied herself, remaining silent for a moment.
Perhaps it’s a man’s intuition.
He felt that Gavyn didn’t necessarily do these things just for the sake of profit.
The damage done to Aylin over the past three years was immense, so much so that she didn’t even. realize it herself. Even when such obvious protection was right in front of her, she couldn’t believe that someone might be doing it for her sake.
He looked at Aylin with a pained expression and carefully said, “What if he really did it for you?”
“That has nothing to do with me.”
Aylin’s expression was indifferent, as if discussing the weather. “Whatever he does, it’s his own choice. Once it’s over, it’s over. A good horse doesn’t graze on the same patch of grass, especially if it’s cheap grass. I simply can’t swallow that.”
Seeing her determined attitude, Robert no longer dwelled on it and said, “I knew it, our Aylin is a sharp- eyed and intelligent person.”
Smiling, Robert peeled a grape for Aylin and handed it to her. Suddenly, he paused, remembering there was another man who had stood up for Aylin.
“Aylin.”
Robert observed Aylin’s expression without a hint of emotion, his eyes deep and mysterious like an ancient well, as if he was weighing something. “On this matter, Ryker has helped you quite a bit, hasn’t he?”
Aylin was eating grapes and responded with a nod.
Robert said, “What do you feel about him?”
“Why are you suddenly asking this?” Aylin looked at him with a puzzled expression.
During this period, Robert has been introducing her to many handsome men, hoping that she can quickly move on from the shadow of her previous marriage.
“Robert doesn’t want to become Cupid, does he?”
“Do I look that idle?” Robert said calmly, “I’m just asking.”
After giving it some thought, Aylin realized that Ryker was like a younger brother to her – gentle, considerate, attentive, and always able to make her happy.
“It’s really nice, you know. He has such a great personality, and being around him is so relaxing, without any pressure.” She said this with a relaxed expression, her eyes filled with a hint of laughter.
Robert pursed his lips.
Although he was just casually asking, he actually wanted to probe Aylin’s feelings for that young man. It seems that her emotions are still quite deep.
He pursed his lips and paused for a moment, his handsome eyebrows furrowing and then relaxing. After a while, he murmured softly, “Why is there such a big gap in the type of people you like? The person you liked before was so different…”
