Shackles Love Office Boy

Chapter 84 ~ Celine For Aiden

#Flashback On

Three years ago.

A middle-aged woman was sobbing beside her child's gurney lying sick from a gunshot wound and multiple bruises on her face. Somehow Aiden's story can experience such conditions, Tania has no idea.

For about a week Tania faithfully accompanied her son in the hospital. Not much was asked by the woman to her son, for fear that it would interfere with Aiden's health. But Tania was very surprised after getting news from Silvia about the problems that befell Aiden to make his son fell weak in the hospital.

Tania did not expect that Aiden had held a grudge against the Xander family all along. Actually he pityed his son because all this time his father only used himself without loving whole heart. But that doesn't mean he has to interfere with his parents' problems. Even if he thinks the intention is good.

Silvia tells Tania that Aiden shot Xander. And the gunshot wound Aiden got was from Ken. And much more was told by Silvia to Tania. Especially about the figure of Barrack who used to be named Rendy.

Through the phone call, Tania cries and apologizes to Silvia, especially to Xander. It should be Tania in this case who holds a grudge against the Silvia family. But that woman has a really good heart. She wanted to forget all those bad memories, let alone her husband being dead. Tania hopes that Xander's family will be happy to forgive Aiden's mistakes.

After returning from the hospital, Tania accidentally silences Aiden. He wanted his son to reflect on all the mistakes he had made so far, but unfortunately Aiden could not stand the attitude of his mother like that. until finally he admitted all his actions so far to cause himself shot.

“Only you are Mama's precious treasure at this time. Mama was quite happy during her life with your Papa who only half-heartedly loved Mama. All because of your presence, dear.”

“Im sorry Aiden, Ma. Whatever you want Aiden to do, if you don't leave Aiden.” Said Aiden solemnly.

Tania hugged her son tightly. He asks Aiden to apologize to Xander's family and promises not to repeat the same mistake. And Aiden is ready.

But at that time Aiden did not immediately apologize to Xander, because the condition of the man who sounded sick. He did not want Xander's condition to be worse after seeing his arrival. Finally Tania asked Aiden to take care of the company first which almost went out of business and the cause was Aiden himself.

When the time is right, Tania will accompany Aiden to come to Xander's house to apologize. But again he had to undo because he heard bad news from the Xander family for the failure of Michele's marriage because the woman was pregnant out of wedlock with another man.

Time continues to run, until the condition of Xander's company goes back to normal after being hit by a sloping issue. That's when Tania and Aiden go to Xander's house to apologize.

Maybe Xander was told by Tania. So the bad thing that Aiden imagined against Xander did not come true. Apparently Xander was already heartened to forgive all Aiden's mistakes.

“Thank you, Xander, Silvia. You're still willing to open the door to apologize for my only son. I hope after this we can still establish a good relationship.” Tania.

Silvia hugs haru Tania. He had considered Tania like his own brother long ago before he knew of the problems that had happened with Barrack.

From that moment on, Aiden began to re-establish cooperation with Xander. He also wants to address his company's problems and with help from Xander.

At first Aiden thought that Xander's company was still owned by Michele. But apparently not. There is a female figure who replaces Michele as president, namely Celine.

Aiden had not known much about the ins and outs of the Xander family. Only Michele knew. She didn't even know Michele had a younger sister.

“Are you able to replace your sister's position in the company?” ask Aiden for the first time in a meeting with Celine.

Although Celine's ability is still under her brother, but the woman has high self-confidence capital. Especially during his stay abroad, he learned a lot about business from his Uncle. She was sure while walking while studying, surely she would be able to be like her brother.

Hearing Celine's statement, Aiden gulped his saliva roughly. Celine is a proud and arrogant woman. Retreating from this partnership is also impossible.

“Sorry. Alright I will continue this cooperation.” said Aiden finally.

Over time, the cooperation between the companies often brought together Aiden and Celine. And from there Aiden can see the personality of Celine who is very different from her brother. Celine tends to be arrogant, and acts as she pleases. But it is precisely from his nature that makes Aiden increasingly interested in Celine.

Until one day Aiden ventured to express his feelings to Celine. But the answer is Celine rejects Aiden outright. Instead of being angry, Aiden was challenged to keep approaching Celine. Because Celine is the only woman who has ever rejected her charms.

“What's the reason you rejected me, Lin?” ask Aiden.

“If I don't like it, sister. No need to use excuses.” Celine answered with a joke.

“But I love you, Celine. Will you give me another chance to fix myself.I know, maybe you already know a lot about how my life has been. And I promise to change.” Said Aiden solemnly.

Celine did not answer. He just kept quiet and sipped his drink again. And from Celine's silence, Aiden considers that the woman has a chance for him.

Although Aiden considers Celine to provide an opportunity, it turns out that the struggle is not easy. Sometimes he even sees Celine meeting a man who is reportedly the son of Xander's friend. Not only that, Celine's attitude towards the man was also very friendly. Different than her time. Almost Aiden was desperate, but his mother always gave her encouragement and support finally he tried to fight back his love for Celine.

That night Tania accidentally invites Xander's family to dinner at her house. Aiden himself did not know what reason his mother invited Xander's family including Celine. He just followed his mother's will.

“Thank you so much Tania for her dinner. By the way what is this event?” silvia asked as they had joined the dining room.

“Sorry, if the impression is impolite. It should have been me and Aiden who came to your house.” replied Tania and made everyone even more confused. Including Aiden himself.

“Means?” silvia's question represented everyone's confusion.

“I want to apply for Celine for Aiden.” Tania answered while taking out the ring box she had prepared.
