Chapter 1313

Only one day remained until the Grand Medical Summit began. Andrew had nothing left to do but wait calmly for the conference to arrive.

“Darling, we’ll all be there to cheer you on!” Natasha said cheerfully in the living room of Serenity Villa.

Dylan remarked, “I’ve heard that everyone attending this Grand Medical Summit is quite extraordinary. Even top-tier organizations like the Advanced Medical Institute, which usually stays above worldly affairs, are sending representatives.”

Andrew appeared unfazed and simply asked, “Where’s Aspen?”

Natasha nodded toward the second floor. “She’s hiding in her room and hasn’t come out at all.”

Andrew frowned. “She hasn’t come out since yesterday?”

Natasha confirmed, “That’s right, not since yesterday. But don’t worry, she’s fine. I’ve been keeping an eye on her.”

Andrew stood up and headed upstairs. “I’ll go check on her!”

Natasha pouted. “Such a princess!”

Dylan laughed. “You can’t really say that. Aspen comes from an elite family, after all. She’s definitely different from rough folks like us!”

Natasha scoffed. “I don’t see any difference. With darling, we all eat well! She’s just being dramatic, threatening to leave, still acting like a pampered little socialite. Darling has already been good enough to her!”

Dylan chuckled. “Good enough indeed. I heard he even gave her Serenity Villa! But women are mysterious. Obviously, what Aspen wants now isn’t wealth or luxury. She wants Mr. Lloyd’s affection, preferably with some intense action, if you know what I mean.”

Natasha nodded. “You’re absolutely right. I believe Aspen has some masochistic tendencies. It’s like she’s practically begging for Darling to mistreat her.”

Upstairs, Andrew knocked on Aspen’s door.

“Go away!” a cold voice called from inside, clearly keeping people at a distance.

“It’s me. Open the door!” Andrew said firmly.

After a brief silence, the voice remained cold. “I’m not opening it. I don’t want to see you!”

Andrew laughed in disbelief. “Aspen, get your position straight. I’m your master, and when I tell you to open up, you’d better do it!”

Some angry cursing came from inside, followed by the door swinging open. Aspen stood in the doorway wearing light sleepwear, her face pale and deliberately distant.

“What do you want? If it’s nothing important, please don’t disturb my rest,” she said coldly.

Andrew smiled. “I do have something, but let me come in first before we talk.”

Aspen gritted her teeth. “Don’t you know that you can’t just barge into a girl’s room whenever you—”

Andrew’s smile didn’t waver. “I’m not entering a girl’s room–I’m entering my servant’s room!”

Aspen was furious but obediently stepped aside anyway.

Andrew walked around the room and was surprised to see several packed suitcases in the center. “You’ve packed everything up. Are you planning to leave?”

Aspen crossed her arms and gave a curt nod, maintaining her coldness.

Andrew was silent for a moment, looking at her. “Are you sure about this?”

Aspen turned her head away, avoiding eye contact with Andrew. “Yes, I’m sure. The Grand Medical Summit has the attention of the entire Gabo Creek province. My father and the rest of my family have come to Blumedale to watch it. When they return to Bridgefields, I’ll go with them.”

Andrew nodded. “If you want to leave, that’s fine. Let’s go out then. I’ll go meet your family with you. It’s a good opportunity to talk to them as well!”

Aspen frowned. “Talk about what? You don’t need to explain anything!”

Andrew laughed at her defensive posture. “Don’t worry, I’m not some evil tyrant who bullies people at every turn. You’ve helped me quite a bit, after all. When I meet your family, I’ll treat them to a meal, get to know them, and express my gratitude!”
