Love Began with the First Meeting
Chapter 887 Extra Story 31 Of Aaron Bluster

"You dirty snot..." Zoey spat and sniffed coldly.

Ximena heard that, but she pretended that she didn't and just looked away. She just took a step forward, encircling Aaron's wet arm with her own, intending to annoy Vivi and Zoey more. Then she said, "If you plan to go with her, then I guess I will just go alone. But, if you are not going together with her, let's go together. Okay?"

"Aaron..." With teary eyes, Vivi looked at Aaron. She was expecting something from the man. At that moment, the fight between the two women was no longer a matter of their appearances as to who was more pretty, rather it had become a matter of who was more cherished by this man.

Looking at Vivi, Aaron sneered silently and stroked her face softly while answering Ximena in a leisure tone, "Then let's go back together." As soon as his words faded away, Vivi's face became deathly pale. In an indifferent manner, Aaron took his hand away from Vivi's face and turned around without the least hesitation, heading to the car that was parking by the roadside.

"Aaron-" Vivi roared towards Aaron's back.

"It's late. Please give Zoey a ride and send her back," Aaron shouted a request to Vivi without turning his head back. Then without caring about the two women behind him, he walked away in easy steps under the rain, with Ximena's arms entangled with his.

With a triumphant smile, Ximena hadn't turned her head back to enjoy the reactions of the two women who had come to bluster her. When Aaron opened the car door for her she immediately got on the car. While inside the car she took a sideways glance at them. In the dim light, she could see that Vivi was clenching her hands tightly into fists and glaring at her in hatred, while the face of the woman by her side was covered by frustration and disdain.

Seated comfortably inside the car, Ximena turned her head slightly away from them when the sound of car door closing came to her ears. Other people's humiliation could not affect her at all. She had been looked down with all kinds of stares and indifferent glances since her childhood. It was a trivial matter that Vivi and Zoey were not worth her attention. They meant nothing to her.

She looked at Aaron, who turned the car around to get inside. It was not until he got on the car from the other side that she withdrew her sight. When they were about to leave, Ximena frowned all of a sudden as something came to her mind. She thought, 'Since Aaron's mother waited for his father for a long time and even waited for him to justify her status, she should not have a relationship with any other man. If that was the case, is his sister a member of the Leng Family?'

Thinking of that, Ximena shook her head slightly as she had an odd feeling that Zoey didn't look like a member of the Leng Family. She continued pondering, 'That woman called him brother. Is she a daughter between his mother and another man? But how could that be?' Shocked by her own wild conjecture, Ximena looked at Aaron in confusion and asked, "That woman called you brother?"

"Hmm," Aaron affirmed calmly without any change of expression on his face. "She's my half-sister from the same mother but from a different father."

"Oh..." Ximena was held speechless. She was so astonished that she opened her mouth slightly, blinking with her wet eyelashes. The corner of her mouth quivered. She doubted whether there was something wrong with her ears, so she asked again for his confirmation, "She is your sister with the same mother but a different father?" This time she leaned a little closer to Aaron eager to hear his response.

Hearing her question, Aaron took a glance at her and then looked ahead with his cold sight. "A man whose family name is Song had carried a torch for my mother. One day the two of them somehow had sex with each other, resulting in her pregnancy of Zoey. My mother could not accept her own betrayal of that man, Aldrich. That was one of the reasons for her depression and eventually her death before long after Zoe was born," he explained.

His simple words and plain tone sounded like he was talking about a common thing that happened to a stranger. However, Ximena felt sad for him in her heart while listening to him.

All of a sudden, she leaned towards him and hugged him with her arms. While Aaron frowned at her act, she said softly, "You hate her, don't you?"

The curse which he was about to throw to her was prevented by what she had said. The light from Aaron's eyes turned dark and brutal. He didn't move a little to resist her hug, instead, he just let her do what she wanted.

"She was an irresponsible child to her parents because she eloped with that man. Then she was an irresponsible lover to your father because she slept with another man and even gave birth to your sister. Moreover, she was an irresponsible mother to you and your younger sister, because she passed away, leaving her young kids to survive by themselves." Holding back her tears, Ximena felt that her heart twisted and hurt while she said that. "You certainly have reasons to hate her. However, you can't allow yourself to hate your own mother. You owe your life to her. You won't be here without her."

Ken was driving the car silently in the driver's seat. Hearing Ximena's plain voice, he could not help but take a look at her from the rearview mirror. Then he turned his sight to look ahead while sighing deeply. He thought, 'This woman is annoying sometimes, but among so many women around His Highness, she is the only one who knows and understands him.'

Trying to empathize with him, Ximena held Aaron in her arms tightly. Both of them were wet as drowned mice. Damp and cold, both of them could warm each other's heart, but both were reluctant to express the passionate warmth and just bear with the chill. For both of them knew clearly that they would be hurt by such warmth in case the fire would be kindled between them.

As an orphan, Ximena had envied Aaron more or less before, because he had his parents. However, now that she got to know the story of his life and his parent's arrangements, she thought it might not be better to have parents. All of a sudden, she felt grateful and thought that she was far luckier than Aaron. Having had a mother and a father, he still hated them deeply and held a grudge against them.

The car sped like a streak of lightning in the rain, gradually leaving the colorful neon lights far behind. The quietness and darkness outside enveloped the car like a devil, symbolizing their dark lives and sad hearts.

When the car stopped in the villa, Aaron and Ximena got off the car. Before Ximena was able to realize what he was going to do, Aaron grasped her wrist and pulled her towards the house.

Dragged by him, Ximena could not help but stagger in unsteady steps. However, she followed him hastily, without saying a word, even though her wrist hurt in his tight grip.

Without taking a pause for even a second, Aaron tugged her straight towards her bedroom on the second floor. After opening the door and entering the bedroom, he still didn't seem to stop his footsteps. Instead, he headed straight to the bathroom, with Ximena in his grasp. As soon as he opened the door of the bathroom, he released his grip on her wrist and thrust her inside.

"Ouch!" Being pushed carelessly, Ximena was thrown so violently that she crashed to the wall inside the bathroom. Frowning, she looked at Aaron with a pair of questioning eyes.

Looking at her with his deep and distant sight, Aaron said, "Didn't you say earlier that you wanted to have a bath together with me?"00000000☐☐☐☐
