Own Fate novel Chapter 431

It was all part of the plan. Aubree quickly paid for the flowers and turned to hand them to Bowen. “Hey, flowers?”

pretty boy, want so

some

Bowen, the so–called ‘pretty boy“, was momentarily stunned. He looked at the carefully arranged bouquet before him, finding it rather novel. He reached out to take it ‘Call me that again?*

Aubree realized he was talking about the “pretty boy” part.

“Call you what? Pretty boy… Aubree played along with a grin, her voice lilting and sweet, full of playful charm.

Even though she was obviously putting on an act to tease him, Bowen found it quite amusing. He grinned. “How’d you know I like being called that?”

He never told her about his birthday, and one couldn’t even find it online.

“I asked Ollie, Aubree admitted.

JShould’ve known,” Bowen chuckled.

He gave

her a smile, watching Aubree stand there a little nervously. With a sigh, he held the bouquet in one hand and pulled her tightly into his arms with the other, like he wanted to hold her so close she’d become a part of him.

Bowen said, I’m not mad or blame you. I just don’t celebrate my birthday. I used to have a hard time letting go, but it’s been so long now, I’m not a kid anymore. I’ve moved on. I just don’t want my brother to be alone on this day, so I go to the cemetery to spend some time with him, like I always do.

“Besides, I’m not a kid anymore. Birthdays, for me, are just business events in disguise. There’s no need.”

Aubree popped her head out of his embrace, beaming up at him. “Well, your birthdays won’t be about business anymore from

now on

“If your brother were still here, I bet he’d want to see you actually enjoy every single birthday,” she said softly.

Aubree threw herself back into work and school after Bowen’s birthday. Meanwhile, after Trevor and Sophia got their marriage licenses, Sophia finally married into the Wilson family. But as soon as she got what she wanted, she showed Aubree exactly what it meant to be used and tossed aside.

Sophia sent Aubree a message saying their partnership was over, then blocked and deleted her in one go.

Aubree couldn’t care less. Sophia was no longer of any use to her. Honestly, if they’d stayed allies, Aubree might’ve even felt a little bad when it came time to make her move against Trevor.

With Trevor and Sophia’s marriage, the online drama around Trevor had finally died down. The whole mess hadn’t hit him hard. Sure, he had to cough up a ton in breach–of–contract fees, lost a bunch of high–end endorsements. He could kiss this year’s Best Actor award goodbye, but that was about it.

As long as Trevor kept his handsome face and didn’t make any major mistakes, his fans would always have his back. Looks were everything in this business, after all.
