A dim light flickered across his cold eyes as he glanced at the cell phone resting on the coffee table.
The phone screen was lit, flashing with caller ID constantly.
It was his parents calling.
Collins Aiden just looked at it, not answering.
In the eyes of the whole world, everyone was a good person, hoping Harrison Yale and Emma Aiden would be together, a perfect match, and only he was the wicked person.
A wicked person who disregarded his daughter's wishes, only caring about family interests.
Even if he didn't answer the phone, he knew for sure someone must have secretly informed his parents. His dad was fine, but considering his mom's indulgence towards Emma, if he picked up this call, she'd likely force him to agree to the marriage.
If he dared to argue back, Mrs. Aiden would definitely start her routine of crying, making a scene, and threatening him.
He couldn't afford to offend her, he had to hide.
