Delayed Regrets: He Regretted Only After Her Death-Chapter 103: Over Twenty Years of Secret Love

Chapter 103: Chapter 103: Over Twenty Years of Secret Love

Hector Chaucer’s gaze lingered on Tiana Linden for a long time.

So long that Tiana Linden almost misunderstood, wondering if this man was interested in her?

But ever since they were young, this man had never shown much interest in girls.

And anything he wanted, he had already taken.

This was Hector Chaucer’s usual style.

There was nothing he couldn’t claim.

If he was interested in her earlier, he would have fought Aiden Grant for her, right?

Yet all those years, he did nothing.

She must have overthought it.

She was calm enough, her face neither blushing nor her heart racing, as she met his gaze.

Boldly, she asked:

"Why are you staring at me?"

The calmness in the man’s eyes suddenly deepened.

He reached out and picked a short strand of hair from her shoulder.

Tightening his lips, he said nothing and closed the car door for her.

Only Gordon Lowell on the side noticed that the usually tough and tender Family Head seemed to be in a bad mood.

Blame it on Miss Linden, who felt no sparks with the Family Head at all.

The ambiguous gesture just now even made Gordon Lowell’s face flush.

He couldn’t help but turn his face away, not daring to look.

Unexpectedly, Miss Linden didn’t react at all.

The Family Head’s flirtation had no effect!

The car headed towards The Sovereign.

Arriving at the entrance of the community, night had fallen.

At the entrance and exit of the community.

A black Hongqi limousine was stopped by the security guard.

Aiden Grant personally called the president of the property company.

The other party responded courteously yet apologetically:

"President Grant, it’s not that we don’t respect you, someone has instructed us not to let you in if you come to the community."

Aiden Grant’s brow tightened, "Is it Hector Chaucer or Leo Sutton?"

The other party: "President Grant, I’m really sorry, I can’t disclose that. I hope you understand, it’s not easy for us either."

The call was cut off.

The community gate that blocked him was kicked hard by Aiden Grant.

He had always been steady, but matters concerning Tiana Linden left him unable to stay calm.

A few days ago, he could still enter the community.

These days, he couldn’t even get close to the entrance.

Tiana Linden had indeed set up defenses.

She didn’t want to see him anymore.

As he had expected, the closer he got to her, the more she disliked him.

The dark night suddenly spawned many invisible, densely packed claws.

Tearing and scratching at his heart.

The air was suffocatingly hard to breathe.

At this point, the security guard stepped forward, "Sir, please leave immediately, or we will call the police."

The once imposing and proud figure suddenly seemed desolate and embarrassed.

He had no choice but to walk back to the driver’s side of the car.

At the entrance, a burgundy Hongqi Gregory slowly approached and stopped Aiden Grant.

This car, even if it turned to ashes, Aiden Grant could recognize it.

It was the car he had given to Hector Chaucer a few years ago.

The reflection on the front window showed the silhouettes of three people inside.

The driver was Hector Chaucer’s right-hand man—Gordon Lowell.

In the back seat sat Tiana Linden and Hector Chaucer.

Their shoulders almost touching.

Aiden Grant’s fingers clenched tightly.

Inside the car, Hector Chaucer deliberately looked at Tiana Linden’s expression.

Her face was expressionless.

The playful smile from a moment ago had instantly cooled.

He specifically asked, "Want to step out and meet him?"

Tiana Linden didn’t spare Aiden Grant another glance, "Gordon, drive."

The car slowly moved towards the community gate.

The car window was suddenly tapped from outside.

It was Aiden Grant striding over.

The wheels almost rolled over Aiden Grant’s shoes.

Aiden Grant’s knocking on the window never stopped, following the car to the entrance.

Gordon Lowell slowed down to avoid running over Aiden Grant.

Aiden Grant, disregarding his safety, kept chasing.

The wheels, even going slow, inevitably pressed over Aiden Grant’s shoes.

The shiny shoes instantly carried a line of gray marks.

Sss... The bones felt like they were about to shatter.

"Tiana Linden, open the car door."

Tiana Linden’s window slowly closed, not even glancing at Aiden Grant.

The car drove into the community.

Leaving Aiden Grant, filled with pain, standing at the entrance.

The burgundy Hongqi Gregory stopped at The Sutton Family’s entrance.

Tiana Linden reached out to Hector Chaucer, "Give me the USB drive, I’m going back to The Linden Family tomorrow."

A black USB fell into Tiana Linden’s palm.

Hector Chaucer looked at her and asked, "Are you feeling upset?"

"No." Tiana Linden packed her bag, preparing to get off the car.

Hector Chaucer beside her said, "Do you remember that Japanese restaurant near the Medical University?"

Before Tiana Linden could answer, Hector Chaucer added, "I’m hungry, accompany me to eat something."

Gordon Lowell quickly turned the car around and drove it out.

Tiana Linden frowned slightly, "But I promised Daisy that I would go back to have dinner with her tonight."

Hector Chaucer: "It’s just a Japanese meal, isn’t it? After all, I did save your life."

...

At a certain Japanese restaurant.

Hector Chaucer chose a seat by the window.

Sitting down, he scanned the code to order.

This restaurant was where Aiden Grant and Tiana Linden often came to before.

Whenever Tiana Linden was upset, she would come here to eat Japanese food.

Her unhappiness came quickly, but also left quickly.

There was nothing that a meal of Japanese food couldn’t solve.

But after so much, she no longer had the ability to turn a page with just a meal.

She admitted.

Every time Aiden Grant appeared in front of her.

Her wounds would be torn open without mercy.

Hector Chaucer probably knew she was upset, so he brought her here to eat Japanese food.

Unexpectedly, everything Hector Chaucer ordered was what she liked.

Arctic Sashimi, Sea Urchin Sushi, Grilled Eel, Wasabi Octopus.

Could it be because she and Aiden Grant had brought Hector Chaucer here before, so Hector Chaucer remembered what Aiden had ordered for her?

What she liked, Hector Chaucer had ordered them all.

As she ate the sashimi dipped in wasabi sauce, the spicy taste hit her throat, bringing tears to her eyes.

"Hector Chaucer, thank you for bringing me to eat my favorite Japanese food."

"I know, you want me to feel better."

Hector Chaucer looked at those tearful eyes.

From when she was just a little girl of five or six, making a fuss about wanting to be Aiden Grant’s wife when she grew up.

Since childhood, she had followed Aiden Grant like a shadow.

In her eyes and heart, there was only Aiden Grant.

How could Aiden Grant bear to hurt such a good girl, leaving her completely wounded?

He looked at her, his voice light, "Life is long, the person who eats Japanese food with you doesn’t have to be Aiden Grant."

This sentence, Tiana Linden somewhat understood and somewhat didn’t.

At this moment, the waiter brought another dish, "Sir, ma’am, do you have any wishes? Our wish wall can hang your wishes for free, it’s very effective."

Tiana Linden let out a bitter laugh.

How effective is it?

Back then, she didn’t know how many wishes she had made here.

To be with Aiden Grant, red strings tied, forever together.

At that time, she was indeed foolish.

She smiled politely at the waiter, "Thank you, there’s no need."

After the waiter left, Hector Chaucer offered Tiana Linden a piece of grilled eel, "If you get the chance, you can visit the wish wall again, you’ll find there are other views in life."

On that wish wall are not only Tiana Linden’s past wishes.

But also Hector Chaucer’s.

"Tomorrow I’ll accompany you back to The Linden Family."

This voice carried both a toughness and tenderness, but also a certain determination.
