Love Began with the First Meeting
Chapter 943 Extra Story 81 Of Aaron Losing Face

Ximena had a dream. In her dream, there was the rose garden of the prince, in which the multiflora rose withered and dying. The dying multiflora rose tried to use her last breath to take a look at the prince for the last minute of her life. She saw that the prince was still staring at the rugosa rose with his affectionate eyes. At the moment, the multiflora rose knew that she could do nothing more but to leave the world quietly.

But the moment when the multiflora rose lowered her head to get ready to face death peacefully, the prince suddenly turned his head back to take a look at her. Astonishment filled the prince's eyes immediately as if he could not believe what he was seeing. The prince looked very worried and vexed at the same time. Completely ignoring the rugosa rose's coquettish seduction, he tried his best to water the multiflora rose and extirpate the weeds around her. Seeing that he was trying to rescue her in such an urgent manner, the dying rose could sense that he felt very sorry for her.

Then, catching her breath, Ximena woke up from the dream. She didn't know how the story of the two roses would end, perhaps the prince's care was too late to help, or perhaps the multiflora rose would be able to wait for him quietly again. Maybe the rose would survive after all as a result of the prince's great efforts. If her dream would end that way, Ximena would be relieved. However, if the rose would eventually give up and the prince's efforts were too late, she would be grieved for sure.

Thinking of her dream, Ximena gradually wore a smile at the corners of her mouth. Her smile contained a variety of emotions, including excitement, eagerness, fear, worry, and regret. She was feeling all these sentiments at the same time, and her heart felt heavy with the overwhelming mix of emotions. These emotions rushed into her mind quickly the moment she set her eyes on the multiflora roses all over the manor.

Looking around, she found that the roses with a variety of colors were blooming, creating a beautiful plume of the vibrant landscape. The view was so enchanted that one would feel so magical just by looking upon them. Ximena was too captivated by the roses, and giving in to her temptations she went to have a closer look at the roses. Finally, her gaze fell on the greenhouse, where every rose stood upright proudly in the breeze. Each of them seemed to boost their radiance and fumes. One could feel vitalized at the sight of each proud petal, red and dazzling. As if it portrayed the dangers and perks that came with beauty.

"Why don't you move?" interrupting the silence, Aaron asked, stopping his footsteps. Seeing that Ximena was looking at the roses blankly, a smile flashed across his eyes. However, his smile disappeared so quickly that he himself was unaware of it. After opening and closing the car door for Aaron, Ken stood respectfully by the side of the car as he looked at Aaron's back while he headed towards the garden. Catching a glimpse of Ximena and Aaron together, he could not help but smile from his heart. Since he had taken over the Leng's Corporations, Aaron was able to earn money at least eight-digits in a minute, but recently he had worked as a gardener planting flowers and pulling weeds with his own hands. Looking at the roses all over the courtyard of the manor, Ken smelled the fragrance of flowers that was brought by the breeze.

He believed it was good for Aaron. The garden and the roses served as a therapy for him to heal whatever he felt was broken. Even though Aaron hadn't had a family in its true sense, at least he was no longer lonely.

Thinking of that, Ken lowered his eyes and wore a smile of comfort and relief at the corners of his mouth. He had always hoped that somebody would come and accompany Aaron. Now he believed that somebody would be Ximena.

As soon as Ximena came to herself, she regained her arrogance. In her high heels, she walked to Aaron in steps as proud as those of a peacock's. Standing in front of him, she said, "What a grand spectacle the roses make in the manor. I'm quite surprised."

After saying that, she took a meaningful gaze at Aaron. Then with a proud smile at the corners of her mouth, she turned around and walked towards the garden house. "Let's have lunch in the garden house. Okay?" with her eyebrows raised a bit, she asked in a decisive tone. "Open the contractile glass door. When we sit by the garden house and look at the sea of flowers, we will have a good appetite. Right? Well, I haven't had a good meal for some time."

Realizing that Aaron was not minding her, she stopped speaking all of a sudden as she felt something was wrong. Aaron neither caught up with her nor said a word to her. She stopped her footsteps and turned her head to look back, only to see that a woman with tall stature, a hot figure and a fascinating appearance was coquetting with Aaron.

Frowning, Ximena looked at that woman's breast unconsciously, then she looked at her own. Although her chest was not as flat as an airstrip, she had to admit that her breast was much smaller than that woman.

Seeing that, Ximena could not help but open her mouth and show her teeth in a threatening manner. She placed both her hands respectively at the outside of her breasts and pushed her breasts towards the middle. Then, she walked back to Aaron still in her proud steps with a standard smile at the corners of her mouth. Taking a slight glance at that woman, she encircled one of Aaron's arms with her arms intentionally. "Aaron..." still, with her confident poise, she said in a saccharine voice and prolonged her voice intentionally. "Who's she?"

While saying that, her own voice made her feel sick. She wanted to vomit. The jealousy growing in her heart seemed to have betrayed her at that moment. It was not until now that she found that coquetry was not something that every woman was born to be good at. For trying to be one, Ximena failed and just appeared to be pathetic in trying so hard.

Looking at Ximena and her unusual behavior, Aaron frowned, as if he was looking at a monster.

The corner of Ximena's mouth twitched several times. She felt so embarrassed that she wanted to remove her arms from Aaron's arm. However, it seemed that some emotion in her was restraining her impulse to do so. She had to show that woman whom she was messing with. Ximena was prepared for whatever will happen.

Silver Fox touched her long curly hair, which was as thick as seaweed. Then biting her lips with her pearl white teeth, she crossed her arms over her chest. In a fascinating and enchanting way, she stared at Ximena with her eyes polished with eyeliner. A smile appeared at her face. Not taking her eyes away from her, Ximena was unwilling to admit herself being outdone. She still encircled Aaron's arm with her own arms in a very natural manner. She glared at Silver Fox without the least fear, declaring her ownership over Aaron silently.

"Your Highness, is this the woman marked by you as 'an annoying woman' in your cellphone?" with her brows raised while looking at Ximena, Silver Fox asked. As soon as her words faded away, both she and Ximena had a feeling of disillusionment. Looking at Silver Fox while blinking, Ximena was so astonished that she opened her mouth enough for her to swallow an egg.
