"I would never let that happen! I am not gonna sit quietly and let Ethan ruin Anna's life." Aiden said and stood up.
For the first time in these many years Drake has known Aiden, he has seen Aiden this angry.
Even when his only love Anna left without giving a solid reason for their breakup and her disappearance, he was not this angry.
No matter how much he suffered, he never vented it out on others and solely tolerated it. For him to get this angry, Drake could tell Aiden us at his saturation point now.
After knowing Aiden for these many years, he understood that Aiden is a deeply sentimental person despite the cold and indifferent facade he shows to others.
He cares for the people who were once very good to him and that was the reason he could never bring himself to hate Anna.
And, in the same way, he might have remembered the good days he had with Ethan and couldn't bring himself to go all out.
