Chapter 411:
But as he watched them walk away, his thoughts churned. White family? Which White family was Aiden referring to? And how were they connected to Janice?
Kenneth pulled out his phone and quickly typed a message to his confidant, asking him to dig into Aiden’s recent activities and find anything related to Janice.
His eyes narrowed as he watched Aiden lead Janice away with assertive confidence.
To Kenneth, their divorce was more than just a fact; it was fate presenting him with an extraordinary opportunity.
Janice wasn’t just any woman; she was exceptional, the kind of person who left an unforgettable impression. Once someone truly got to know her, it was impossible to be drawn to anyone else. That was her formidable charm.
For this rare chance at love, Kenneth resolved to give it everything he had. He would stop at nothing to win Janice’s heart.
“Mr. Delgado, aren’t you engaged to Miss Ramirez?” Nina sipped her drink gracefully, feeling relieved that her son had taken Janice away, sparing her a lot of pressure.
“You must have misunderstood. The engagement with Miss Ramirez was merely an agreement of convenience. We both realized we weren’t compatible, so it was called off.”
“Exactly! And honestly, I think it was for the best,” Lesly chimed in, casting Kenneth a proud glance. She was eager to see her son’s intentions succeed.
Nina raised a brow, her tone laced with subtle sarcasm. “Ah, you men. It’s always the same excuse; ‘we weren’t suitable.’ So convenient. And while you’re certainly a remarkable man, I don’t think you’re right for Janice either.”
Kenneth didn’t flinch. Instead, he responded with a cool smile. “Suitability isn’t something anyone else can decide. It’s something that becomes clear with time. Just as Aiden spent plenty of time with Janice and still ended up divorced.”
“You…” Nina’s composure cracked, her tone sharper now. The mention of the divorce hit a nerve. It was a wound she and Aiden had yet to mend. Letting Janice go had been the most foolish decision her son had ever made, and she still couldn’t fathom what had gone through his head.
“My son can be a bit blunt. Mrs. Green, please don’t take it personally,” Lesly interjected smoothly, her apologetic smile not quite masking the pride in her eyes.

Nina narrowed her eyes, picking up on the subtle satisfaction in Lesly’s tone. Kenneth was quite impressive. As soon as Janice became single, he pursued her with all his heart, without any reservation. In contrast, Aiden was like a fool, lacking the romance necessary to woo a girl.
“Nina, these snacks are amazing. You should try them,” Sierra suddenly piped up. Her cheerful tone and quick action broke the tension in the room. She discreetly stuck her tongue out at Kenneth, not wanting to see these two people she cared about hurt each other.
Kenneth caught her gesture and smiled slightly, acknowledging the unspoken message.
Meanwhile, Janice followed Aiden into an adjacent private room.
“Alright, Aiden. What have you found out?” She crossed her arms as she sat on the sofa, her expression composed. Aiden looked at her, feeling both amused and irritated by her relaxed demeanor.
“Janice, can’t you be a bit more reserved? What is it about Kenneth that makes you smile at him like that?”
Janice blinked, clearly surprised. “Who I smile at is none of your business. Why are you suddenly so worked up?”
“Don’t you know?” Aiden shot back, his frustration bubbling to the surface.
“Why would I know?”
Aiden clenched his jaw, taking a deep breath in an effort to compose himself. “Fine, I’m jealous.”
“And then?”
Aiden felt his emotions bubbling to the surface. He had confessed his jealousy over Kenneth, yet Janice remained indifferent. Was she really this indifferent to him? No matter what he did, she seemed unaffected.
