The CEO’s Surrogate Wife Chapter 736 The Suffering Aileen

His phone rings not long after he walks out of the home.

Alex quickly picks up the phone and his expression turns stern.

“Don’t worry, I didn’t harm him.” He hangs up the call after saying that.

This time, he takes the initiative to let go of Richard, but only because he promises Aileen to do so in
exchange for information on Miya. What he really wants is to tear Richard into pieces.

Though, Alex has learned his lesson from this incident. He will never ever let anyone have the chance
to get near his woman again.

“Anybody? Come here!” says Alex with a frigid tone of voice. His cold expression sends a shiver down
one’s spine. A few bodyguards immediately walk up to him with their head hang low.

“Strengthen the security and protect the madam at all cost. If necessary, all of you are to never leave
her side for even a single second. Don’t let anything happen to her, you guys are responsible if I notice
that she loses a single hair.”

Alex strides away vigorously after leaving his order.

…

Aileen is at the hospital at the time of call, she lets out a sigh of relief, but then she starts to frown
again. This problem is now solved, but there’s still another problem waiting to be solved.

There is a sudden knock on the door while Aileen is immersed in her thoughts.

“Come in.” She says without thinking as she figures that the person at the door is the doctor.



Aileen’s melancholic expression immediately turns cold, when she realizes that the person walking into
the room is Aaron.

Aaron quickly notices the change in her expression. He stays quiet, walks into the room and sits on the
side of her bed.

“What are you here for?” Aileen can’t help but ask him, seeing that he is not saying anything.

“Can’t I be here just to see you?” Aaron wants to say more, but Aileen halts him abruptly mid-sentence.

“Please leave, I don’t need you here. I have already told you, that I don’t want to see your face right
now.”

Aileen sounds very indifferent when she says that.

“I have made up my mind to face you, and hence I am here. I know that you are not in a good mood
right now and I know that you don’t really mean what you said before. I will not take it to heart, I
promise.” Aaron was really mad at what she said to him that day, but he put some thoughts into it after
he went home. He thinks that he needs to take initiative and ease the tension between them.

“What are you saying?” Aileen looks at Alex astonishingly, she is surprised at how well he is controlling
his temper. Back then, he would’ve slapped her if she were to throw a tantrum at him like that. But now,
he is taking the initiative to visit her and talks to her patiently. It shows that he really cares about their
relationship. It’s no wonder though, they’ve been through a lot of hardships ever since the beginning of
their relationship.

But unfortunately, she is at the point of no return.

“I understand that you are going through a lot of stuff and it puts you in a very bad mood. That was why
you were talking without thinking the other day, but what worse was that I acted rashly as well.” Aaron



talks very nonchalantly and calmly as if they are just having a casual conversation. He is also trying to
force a smile the whole time.

Aileen’s heart aches to see him so wronged.

Since when is he like this? Does he really like her that much?

“I brought some apples over, do you want some? Or do you want some pears?”

Before Aileen even gets to answer him, Aaron takes out an apple and a knife and starts to cut the
apple, as if it is the only right thing to do.

Tears start to well up in Aileen’s eyes. Why? Why has she never noticed how remarkable he is? Aaron
is always by her side and is willing to do even the smallest things for her. But the Aileen right now has
no right to ask for his hugs and kisses anymore, she has no right to make him sacrifice more for her.

“Please leave, please don’t do anything for me anymore.” Aileen takes a deep breath and finally
musters the courage to say this to him.

Aaron continues cutting the apple as if she hasn’t said anything. He mumbles while he cuts the apple,
“This apple looks very sweet. You have to finish everything afterwards, okay?”

He talks to her very dotingly. Aileen can feel herself waver every time he says something to her.

“Enough, I’m begging you. Please leave immediately and never appear in front of my eyes again.”
Aileen has no other way but to beg him to leave.

Aaron’s heart aches and he feels distressed, seeing Aileen crying abruptly and looking ever so sad. He
pulls her softly into his arms and gently rubs her back with his palm as if he wants to give her the best
comfort she can ever get.



“Just tell me what’s wrong and I will help you figure it out, as long as you promise me that you will
never tell me to leave your side again.”

Aileen cries even harder after hearing his words. She has been waiting for these words for so long, and
she finally hears it from him. How can she not be happy? But why is her heart aching so much at the
same time?

“I…” Aileen is sobbing uncontrollably and she cannot even mutter a word for a long time. She doesn’t
know how to tell Aaron the truth.

She wants to tell him that she is suffering and very tired from quietly shouldering the pain. She really
wants someone to share her pain, but unfortunately, she must handle this agony alone.

“I won’t leave you, no matter what happens. Let me stay by your side and take care of you.” Aaron puts
his hand on her shoulder and looks into her eyes lovingly. His long lashes tugs at her heartstrings as he
blinks.

Aaron is a handsome man, her love for him is long ingrained deeply in her heart.

Aileen feels like her heart is about to burst as he keeps inching his face closer to hers.

Their lips are now only 0.01 centimetres apart, they are going to touch any moment. Suddenly, she
glances at the crack of the door, she can tell that somebody is standing by the door out of the corner of
her eyes. She is not hallucinating, and that person is Richard.

Aileen immediately snaps out of the situation, she is too immersed in the flirtatious atmosphere that
Aaron creates and almost loses control of herself. She quickly pushes him
away.
