Delayed Regrets: He Regretted Only After Her Death-Chapter 87: Shocking! Tiana Linden Is Still Alive?

Chapter 87: Chapter 87: Shocking! Tiana Linden Is Still Alive?

In the past, Tiana Linden always liked to wrap her arms tightly around his waist.

Clinging to his shoulder.

Calling him again and again: Aiden, Aiden...

This name evoked so many memories for Aiden Grant.

Memories flashed back in his mind.

Frame after frame.

From sweetness, to heartbreak, to gut-wrenching pain.

The images in his mind finally halted at the moment when Tiana Linden could not be resuscitated.

He clenched his fist tightly.

The veins on his fist bulged.

He hated himself, so stupid beyond help.

Pushed away, Vivian Linden’s tears fell in torrents.

"Aiden, these past few days..."

"I said, don’t call me Aiden."

Vivian’s words were cut off firmly by Aiden Grant.

So startled, Vivian dared not shed a single tear.

She stared blankly at Aiden, waves of terror surging in her heart.

It’s over! This time it’s really over.

Tiana Linden just passed away, and Aiden Grant already hates her like this.

If Aiden gets substantial evidence of her harming Tiana Linden...

What would he do to her?

"Aiden..."

At this moment, Aiden had no evidence to prove everything behind it was Vivian Linden’s doing.

He wasn’t going to do anything to Vivian Linden.

The surge of anger was being suppressed by him.

"Vivian Linden, starting today, you move out of Serenity Villa."

Behind Vivian Linden, Daniel Linden rushed forward, "Aiden Grant, what’s gotten into you?"

The two siblings in the living room, Aiden no longer paid attention to them.

He didn’t care how torrentially Vivian cried.

Nor did he care that Daniel Linden was catching up in anger.

Daniel Linden closely pursued from behind.

"Aiden, Tiana Linden passed away, I’m also really upset. I’m more pained than you."

"But I won’t be as irrational as you."

"Why are you taking all your anger out on Vivian?"

"The wedding on Seraphina Isle was halfway through, you left Vivian there alone and walked away, already disgracing Vivian and our Linden Family."

"Now you want to kick Vivian out, how do you expect Vivian to live?"

"Just because Tiana died, does everyone else have to stop living too?"

This last sentence made Aiden Grant, who was walking to the studio door, stop.

Upon turning back, the veins at his neck and temple stood out.

"Daniel Linden, Tiana Linden was your sister."

A single sentence struck Daniel Linden’s heart.

Thinking of his sister’s final failed rescue, he was also one of the executioners, Daniel Linden felt a suffocating sensation in his chest.

That was the sister he had cherished since childhood.

Tiana Linden finally with a childhood photo, begged him for a box of M901 anti-cancer drug.

Not only did he refuse Tiana, but he also smashed that beautiful crystal album.

If he had just given the medicine to Tiana.

Tiana would definitely still be alive now.

The fits of suffocation in his chest caused Daniel Linden to stumble, taking an unsteady half step back.

He clutched his aching chest, eyes reddening, "... I was the one who harmed Tiana."

Deeply taking a breath, when Daniel Linden looked up again, his eyes were full of helplessness.

"But, Aiden..."

"Vivian is also my sister."

"Tiana died, but you can’t take it all out on Vivian."

"Is the dead more important, or is the living more important?"

Bang!

Aiden Grant’s heavy fist landed on Daniel Linden’s face.

Daniel Linden was caught off guard, and Aiden lifted his collar again.

"Daniel Linden, use your brain!"

In speaking, he tightened Daniel Linden’s collar even more.

The death of his sister filled Daniel Linden with guilt.

This punch, Daniel accepted.

He didn’t fight back.

Gritting his teeth, Aiden said, "I personally watched over the doctor, did a paternity test with Daisy."

Daniel Linden: "Daisy is your biological daughter?"

Aiden hated himself for being so foolish and dull, "Yes."

He also hated the person who tampered with matters behind the scenes.

In his anger, he flung Daniel Linden aside.

He was sure that the previous paternity test must have been tampered with by someone.

Although there wasn’t enough evidence to prove it was Vivian Linden.

But Vivian Linden was the biggest suspect.

These words made Daniel Linden think hard.

"Is that child really yours?"

Seeing the confused look in Daniel Linden’s eyes, Aiden said again:

"Did you ever think that when Tiana and Uncle Linden did the paternity test back then, something might have gone wrong too?"

"Could the person behind it have used the same means to swap Tiana and Uncle Linden’s paternity test results?"

A bewildered Daniel Linden looked confusedly at Vivian Linden.

Vivian Linden cried and shook her head, "Brother, I didn’t. Brother, you have to believe me."

Daniel Linden grabbed Vivian Linden’s hand, demanding, "Vivian, tell your brother the truth. Did you ever harm Daisy and Tiana?"

Vivian shook her head desperately, crying pitifully, "Brother, I really didn’t. You have no evidence, you can’t wrong me like this..."

Sobbing uncontrollably...

Vivian cried profusely and pitifully.

"Brother, if even you and Aiden wrong me like this."

"I won’t be able to live."

Fearful that Vivian might do something stupid, Daniel Linden realized he had already lost one sister.

Afraid of losing another sister.

He busily wiped Vivian Linden’s tears, "I’m sorry!"

At this moment, even though Vivian was crying fiercely, Aiden Grant didn’t care at all.

Instead, he frowned impatiently.

Vivian lunged at him.

"Aiden, haven’t you always said that you won’t jump to conclusions without evidence?"

"Aiden, please don’t doubt me like this, okay? I’m so upset!"

He again brushed away the slender hand on his arm.

Suddenly he felt how deeply the woman before him was hidden.

Capable of repeatedly deceiving his eyes without a trace.

Truly a skilled tactic!

"Vivian Linden, walk often by the riverside, and one cannot avoid getting their shoes wet."

Evidence.

It will come.

Leaving these words behind, Aiden coldly walked into the studio.

When Vivian tried to rush in to explain, the door slammed shut behind her.

A firmly closed door separated the heartbroken Vivian outside.

No matter how she knocked on the door, Aiden didn’t respond.

All the portraits in the room caught his eye.

He finally understood.

Though he’d been engaged to Vivian Linden for years, why he had painted so many portraits of Tiana Linden.

He never changed his heart.

And he never loved Vivian.

The sacred place in his heart was always reserved for Tiana.

A room full of Tiana’s portraits was the best proof.

And the drawer with those well-preserved old photos of him and Tiana was also the best proof.

But now, he no longer even had the chance to mend things.

The only thing Tiana left him was Daisy.

Even Daisy hated him thoroughly.

Taking the album, he left Serenity Villa at Star River Bay.

Soon after, Uncle Carter and Mrs. Walsh returned to Serenity Villa to pack up all of Vivian Linden’s belongings.

"Miss Linden, Mr. Grant instructed that you must move out from here today."

...

Moonlight by the lotus pond.

Inside the villa, Hector Chaucer finished his shower and changed into clean clothes.

He also shaved.

Before going out, he tried several outfits in front of the full-length mirror.

With each outfit, he asked Butler Lowell and Aunt Lowell to come and have a look.

"Butler Lowell, Aunt Lowell, how’s this outfit?"

Butler Lowell and Aunt Lowell were Gordon Lowell’s parents.

They have always been with Hector Chaucer.

One was Hector’s butler, the other responsible for his meals and daily needs.

The couple exchanged a glance.

Today’s Mr. Chaucer seems really strange!

Before going out, he specially dressed up.

Aunt Lowell smiled warmly, "Mr. Chaucer, have you taken fancy to some girl and want to pursue her?"

Hector Chaucer watched himself in the mirror, expressionless, "How about this outfit?"

Butler Lowell echoed, "Mr. Chaucer, you look good in any outfit."

From the moment Hector was acquitted to his return to the Chaucer Family, taking the position of Patriarch Chaucer, it’s been less than twenty days.

He still sported the short buzz-cut styled when he was just acquitted.

His hair had grown slightly.

Still very short.

But with Hector’s buzz-cut style, it was both tough and tender.

Butler Lowell and Aunt Lowell had worked by Hector’s side since he was sixteen.

Except for the five years he was in prison, he never cared about his appearance.

Today the sun really did rise from the west.

After Hector left, Butler Lowell and Aunt Lowell chuckled behind his back.

"Mr. Chaucer must have someone he likes."

"Maybe he’s going for a date."

...

Eastmere Kindergarten.

Daisy and Lowell were out of school.

Louis Sutton was still at the court.

Lowell was picked up by Catherine Armstrong and Gabriel Chaucer first.

While Daisy was with Hector Chaucer.

Hector planned to pick up Lowell, then head to Tiana’s place.

This morning Daisy learned that her mother was alive, and returned to school in the afternoon, as cheerful as a lark.

She became more talkative.

Smiles also increased.

Even upon seeing Papa Chaucer who came to pick her up, she found him more handsome than usual.

"Papa Chaucer, why do you look so handsome today?"

Hector Chaucer hugged Daisy and brushed her small nose, "Because I’m taking you to your mom."

With that, Hector opened the car door.

Behind him, a male voice sounded.

"Hector Chaucer, where are you taking Daisy?"

It’s Aiden Grant.

Aiden’s car was parked across the street.

Seeing Hector walk out of the kindergarten with Daisy, he came over.

He seemed to have heard Hector saying he was taking Daisy to see her mother?

Going to meet Tiana?

Couldn’t hear too clearly.

But at this moment, Aiden’s heart was pounding.

Where were they going to meet Tiana?

Is Tiana still alive?
