Pregnant With Twins: My CEO’s Tricky Love

Chapter 393 Aston’s Childishness

These were things Robert still didn’t understand after he’d lost his memory.

Because he hadn’t fallen in love with Sierra after he’d lost his memory, and Sierra was Emma. Robert didn’t understand why, for those several years, he’d let Emma take a place at his side as his fiancé.

After all, he’d loved Georgia both before and after he’d lost his memory.

At that question, Georgia chuckled.

“What? You’re doubting yourself too much, you know. Do you not understand if you’ve been doing the right things before?”

Robert’s face was sunken. He felt that, according to his personality, he wouldn’t have gone and found someone he didn’t like as his fiancé so easily.

“It’s complicated. You told me about it in general once, along with what happened between us. Summing up, there’s a lot of factors.

“I gave birth to Annie because Owen had been ready to send me to Chester Rogers’ bed.”

Speaking of Chester, Georgia explained her dealings with him, and Robert’s expression darkened.

“He’s got some nerve slobbering after you. Where is he now? Did he do anything to you?”

“He’s dead.”

Georgia said simply, and began again with Robert’s question.

“That night, I escaped from the hotel room. Chester didn’t manage to do what he wanted with me, and I went into your room. That’s why we had Annie. Back then, I was drugged, and you were drugged too.

You later said that it was Jennifer’s doing. She’d always had thoughts about you, and so did that kind of thing that night. That’s how the two of us came to be back then.

“But the day after, I returned to the Lane household, and they knocked me out, then set me at the scene of the car crash, making me your sister’s killer. And you were looking for the person who’d shared your bed that night, because I’d left a piece of my jewelry in your room and the Lane family number, Emma pretended to be me. Maybe because you wanted to take responsibility, and I’m guessing also maybe because Jennifer was chasing after you so hard you wanted a fiancé to use as a shield, you decided to get engaged. Those are only the reasons I know. I’m not sure if there are others.”

Georgia had spoken in casual tones, but Robert’s heart hurt at that.

“Were those five years in prison really bad?”

Robert could instinctively guess if he’d mistaken Georgia for being responsible for the crash.

According to his mother’s personality and his own, the Simpsons couldn’t have let the killer off so easily.

So he couldn’t help but ask.

Georgia flinched, thinking instantly of those five dark years.

“It wasn’t nice, but it’s in the past now. I’m free and happy. Let’s not bring up the past.”

Georgia didn’t want to bring it up, and Robert didn’t dare ask on.

He felt that if anything bad had happened to Georgia in prison before, it was probably his doing.

Even if he couldn’t remember now.

He took Georgia’s hand in his own, suddenly starting to pray.

With all those things he’d done wrong in the past, this time, no matter how his body check results came out, he had to find a way to recover.

For the rest of his life, he had to protect his lover.

Otherwise, if he couldn’t keep himself well, he wouldn’t be able to face up to Georgia at all from now on.

The two chatted the rest of the journey away, talking about the past.

About an hour later, Georgia and Robert arrived at Aston’s bedroom.

Jasper was in the same hospital right now, and Robert’s test results would come from this hospital in the afternoon.

This was the best hospital in the city, so them doing it all under the same roof wasn’t anything surprising.

Aston’s face looked very pale, and there was an IV drip running into his arm.

There wasn’t anybody else in the room when Georgia and Robert came in, and he was alone looking out the window, appearing a bit lonely.

Hearing the sound, he turned around to see Georgia.

Then he saw Robert beside her, and smiled faintly.

“Congratulations, you two.”

Aston greeted Georgia and Robert.

Robert suddenly asked a question.

“Which one of us is older?”

Aston jolted, seemingly not expecting Robert to ask such a question.

But he still answered.

“I’m several months older than you.”

With that, Robert walked up and spoke respectfully.

“That makes you my older cousin then. As Georgia’s husband, we’re officially acquainted now.”

Georgia giggled at Robert’s act, and Aston floundered for a while before smiling.

“Have you recovered your memories?”

“Not yet. But since you’re Georgia’s cousin, you’re also my cousin. You’re part of Georgia’s family. A while ago, I didn’t have the best attitude and did some things to hurt Georgia, so naturally, I have to treat Georgia’s family a bit better, or you won’t give me another chance if I make another mistake.”

“Which you won’t dare, right?”

Georgia chuckled and shot a look at Robert from the side, who only smiled

Aston’s expression relaxed, seemingly influenced by the sweet atmosphere between Georgia and Robert.

He spoke, sighing.

“From knowing you a year ago and looking at all sorts of conflicts between you in the beginning, then coming back to all this that’s happened between the two of you, all those twists and turns, and you still ended up together. You look so happy now. Seems like fate has you two tied together.”

Georgia took Robert’s hand and sat down next to Aston’s bedside, thought about it, then put Aston to the question directly.

“I’m seeing you because Professor Lee told me to. Actually, before you came back to the country, Emilia had given me a call too. She’s worried about you; says that with your personality, if you want to hide away your emotional wounds, you might have drowned yourself completely to your work. Back then, she told me to look after you, but too many things happened on my end and I forgot about it all. You ended up putting yourself in hospital after all.”

“Professor Lee already told me. You’re not going back to rest at all and you’re just living in the lab. Tell me, Aston, what will it take? What will it take for you to treat yourself better? Do you have to hurt everyone around you like this? How sad would your mother be if she heard? I know that it’s not that easy to walk out from the shadow of emotional pain, but you can’t torture yourself for something like this. You can’t hurt the people who care for you.”

As Georgia said that, Aston was quiet for a while, then raised his head and spoke to her.

“It was just a breakup. She doesn’t want me anymore. So I’m devoting myself to my work instead of lying in bed, still not falling asleep and hurting over this. You experienced the pain of Robert departing once, Georgia. It should have felt even worse. Don’t you understand? Sometimes, you can’t control yourself. You just want to take it out on something. I’m still at the phase where I need to take it out on something, so don’t bother with me. I’ll get better.”

Aston’s answer clearly just meant he was running away. He wasn’t listening to Georgia at all.

It was a self-absorbed way of thinking he could do whatever he wanted.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

He was hurting now, so he was the most important, and whatever he did was right.

“If you don’t even love yourself, no one can love you like this, Aston. I thought you were a disciplined person, but your behavior is really disappointing. You don’t know how worried Emilia was when she said all that in the beginning. It’s like you only care. It’s like you only care about Kayden, and you don’t even want to bother with other people’s concern, even thinking it’s a burden.”

Georgia said it a bit directly, and the disappointment in her voice was clear to see.

Aston’s eyes reddened and he sneered.

“Don’t lecture me like you know something I don’t. Everyone has their moments of sorrow and pain. I just want to work right now, and I’m not hurting anyone. Why aren’t you even giving me that right? All of you buzzing next to my ear like you’re my caretakers and protectors. Do you even know what I want?”

At that, before Georgia could get angry, Robert got angry in her place.

“You’re almost thirty now, Aston, but you’re acting like a child throwing a tantrum asking for candy. Do you want us to find Kayden, bring her over, and have you beg to be with her?”

At those mocking words, Aston actually got up and smashed the cup next to him to the floor.

“I don’t need you to persuade me or lecture me. I know what I’m doing. Now please leave. You are not welcome.”
