Love Began with the First Meeting
Chapter 916 Extra Story 54 Of Aaron Revenge

Longing to see her, he stepped calmly upstairs expecting to replace her there.

On that cold evening, Aaron returned to the villa. He was surprised not to see Ximena sitting on the couch as usual. Aaron had been used to seeing her there for he knew she liked reading books on that spot. Lingering his sight, he frowned slightly and raised his head. Pushing the door open to Ximena's bedroom gently, Aaron saw a quiet scene inside and he became peaceful and comfortable at once. With her face at peace, Ximena was lying on the couch lazily. 'If she wasn't breathing, she would be mistaken as a fairy in a picture,' Aaron told himself, with his lips curled into a smile.

Captivated by her beauty, Aaron stared at the lovely Ximena who was lying on her side, with her hands under her head. A book laid open and was just at her foot. If she did not hold the book subconsciously, the book would definitely fall from the couch. A few curls of hair fell on her cheeks which were crimson red and flawless as a ruby. She looked like a princess from children's books and the sight of her made it difficult for Aaron to divert his eyes away from her.

As slowly as he could, Aaron closed the door silently and his steps became lighter. He walked nearer to her and sat down by the floor just in front of her lovely face. Squatting gently so as not to wake her up, he just gazed at her while she was sleeping quietly.

He clearly remembered when Ximena just came to the villa, she could not sleep well at night. She had always seen bloody pictures in her dream causing her not to relax completely. She was haunted by scary dreams and terrible nightmares during her early months staying at the villa. It even got to the point that she would wake up screaming and bathing in her own sweat. Aaron felt sorry for her torment but could do nothing but just console him at the least.

Later, she got used to the life here. Little by little, she got easier and sweeter dream as days passed by. But one thing remained unchanged-she always wore an expression of arrogance, as if she could stand on the top of the world again once she got one opportunity. Aaron liked that attitude of hers but wasn't tolerant to her acting in such a way.

But ever since she was pregnant, she seemed to be a changed person. She became more sensitive, clingy, and a little emotional from time to time. Aaron thought it might be caused by the changes in hormones. As she adjusted herself and adopted the ways of life in the villa, she felt more peaceful than before. Her sedateness reminded Aaron of the precious time when he lay in his mother's arms when he was a child.

A warm sensation was beginning to rise at Aaron's heart. He smiled and thought, 'Such kindness of heart may be owned only by a mother! Only a mother can express such character after selflessly sacrificing for her child.'

"Hum," Ximena turned over and woke up sensing that she was no longer alone inside the room. Yawning and stretching her arms, she looked as if she was still in her dream and her eyes were focused on nothing. After a while, Aaron's face appeared in her eyes. She blinked hard and was still lost, "How can he always be in my dream..." Baffled and unsatisfied to see him in her dream again, Ximena said loudly. Then curling herself, she closed her eyes and fell into sleep again. Aaron's mouth twitched and he got furious as he looked at Ximena's sleeping face.

"So am I always in her dreams? Is it so bad that I appear in her dream?" While Aaron was thinking about it, he couldn't help but ask the question out loud. Alerted by his voice, Ximena suddenly opened her eyes. They were focused on the ceilings for a few seconds and then turned to Aaron who was just an inch away from her face.

She quickly sat up and rubbed her eyes. When she made sure that it was not in her dream, she smiled with an embarrassment and asked, "When did you come back?" "Just a few minutes," Aaron replied coldly.

Then he said in a low voice, "I am hungry." After Aaron finished talking, he stood up and walked outside her bedroom without looking back at her. Looking at his back, Ximena complained about his arrogant gesture. After moments of hating him, she stood up, got washed and went downstairs.

Reaching the dining room, Ximena saw Aaron sitting at the table while reading newspapers. The table was filled with many dishes, including vegetables, meat, bean products, seafood and many more.

The foods served were enough for more than ten people, when in fact it was only the two of them who would eat. Examining the array of dishes prepared before them, Ximena's eyebrows were furrowed slightly. Although they usually need several dishes for dinner, tonight it seemed to be too far to have so much.

However, she could not complain about it since Aaron was rich enough to eat whatever he wanted. They sat down and started having dinner. As usual, they didn't talk too much the moment they started eating. Generally, Ximena never talked if Aaron wouldn't start their conversation first.

"I will be busy in the coming days, so you'd better don't go outside if not necessary," Aaron said to her.

After finishing eating, Aaron put down his chopsticks and drank his tea. "Okay."

While still munching her veggies, Ximena replied shortly to him. Her puzzled expression increasingly grew as she thought about what Aaron wanted to do. Since he successfully became the Executive President of the Leng's Corporations, he seemed to be totally different from the one she knew. He was not as cruel and cold as before, and even sometimes treated her gently and thoughtfully. She was totally confused and didn't know how to react to him, and to his changing moods.

These past few weeks, he often had dinner with her which never happened before. Moreover, he even insisted on driving her to some places like the shopping mall and so on as long as he was not busy with his work.¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶
