that one slap did indeed make Ainsley's heart feel torn, but he did not cry. Because that one slap made him regain consciousness of where he was at the moment.
The sweet words she had all this time heard, the gentle treatment she had been receiving. In fact, all of that is just pseudo, because until anytime the Lynford family will never accept him as he is.
Ainsley was still a despised striptease dancer.
"Don't know ourselves, we're ready to lift your degree. But this is exactly the kind of reply we receive" said Daddy Bastian in a voice that hunts full of anger.
While Mom Jilliana was so surprised to see the husband's rude attitude, she closed her gaping mouth using both hands.
"Get out of my house right now, if you keep that relationship going. Then I will also harass your family" threatened Daddy Bastian. His anger is now so many times over, Ainsley who is not self-knowing and Damian who is defiant.
A waiter pulls Ainsley out of the mansion.
Ainsley was thrown until his body staggered, then the door was tightly shut.
Huh! Ainsley was only able to waste his breath even though it felt heavy. His breath held himself back from crying. His two eyes blinked rapidly, lest any clear water fall.
He looked again at the magnificent and luxurious building, almost he thought this was home.
"Guins!" call someone to make Ains reverie.
Suddenly Ainsley saw Aldian's brother there. Walked with quick steps toward him.
"What are you doing here? Does Damian know?" ask Aldian bertubi. He and Marcel have agreed to support Damian openly. This morning the three of them had met, and Damian had only asked for them to protect Ains.
Marcel was in a meeting so Aldian came here after getting a report from Rania, that Ains was visiting the Lynford family's main house.
Meeting suddenly with Aldian's brother certainly makes Ains surprised, especially he had indeed secretly come to this house.
"Sir Aldian," said Ains, he lowered his head to pay his respects.
"Sir Aldian wants to meet with Mr Bastian? Then go ahead, I'll go right away," said Ainsley, bowing his head again as a sign of separation. But had not had time to step, Ainsley had already heard the sentence that made him speechless.
"I didn't come to see Bastian, I came to take you home to the store."
The deg! Ainsley's heart was beating. "Damian's sister asking you to come here? Damian knows I came here?" ainsley asked worriedly, asking questions anyway.
"Hem, next time don't hide anything from Damian. He's the only human you can't lie to" Aldian lied.
Though Aldian was just lying, Damian knew nothing about this. Leo and Rania are his spies now.
"Let's get in the car, I'll drive you to the store" Aldian asked.
"That's okay, brother. I brought a motor."
"Alright, I'll watch you from behind."
Ainsley could not resist anymore, as long as he returned to the car shop Aldian's brother completely tailed him in the back.
Arriving at the store they were back facing each other, Ains wanted to thank him for being watched, while Aldian wanted to leave because he had to return to the company.
But in between their talks, Ains said something that made Aldian go silent for a moment.
"I'm a striptease dancer, everyone will take me for granted. Brother Aldian no longer needs to be this kind to me, especially if only because of brother Damian. I can take care of myself" said Ainsley. He lowered his head again and immediately left from there.
While Aldian was silent, because he also had time to look like that at Ains. Now Aldian seems no different from Bastian and Aunt Jilliana, who wear a mask as if really accepting Ains. He only did this because of Damian.
Not because Ains is worth protecting.
Judging like that, there was Aldian's injured pride. He was wrong, but now he wants to fix it.
Aldian then moved both legs to enter the store, and again faced Ains who was already at the cashier's table.
"I used to think you were despicable, sorry about that. But now that I really want to be friends with you, it was originally for Damian's sake. But I really support the relationship between the two of you. Breathe what your past is, you are entitled to the future too" Aldian replied.
Rania who was also there immediately lowered her head, pretending not to hear.
Ainsley felt her throat being stuck.
Will there really be people who sincerely accept his existence? To be honest, she was traumatized by mom Jilliana and Daddy Bastian.
When he really felt accepted, to cry so happy, but it turned out all that was pseudo.
"Use a compress to relieve bruises on your face, the marks of the slap are obvious. I said goodbye" Aldian said later, then left.
And then Ainsley cried, and then Rania hugged him tightly.
