Love Began with the First Meeting
Chapter 952 Extra Story 90 Of Aaron Approaching

"What do you think?" Aaron asked her back. In a cool manner, he sat up too and lowered his eyes to take a look at his suit, which had been ruined mainly because of Ximena pulling at it. As a tinge of disgust flashed across his eyes, he took it off and threw it to a chair by the side of the bed. Hearing Aaron's words, Ximena tried to jog her memory. As far as she could remember, she had gone to the garden house as soon as she came back... But then she could not remember what she had done after that. However, she was sure that she had fallen asleep in

the garden house.

Slowly, she turned her eyes to look at Aaron's suit, which had been put aside by him. Curling her lips, she said in an indifferent tone,"Well... I will make another suit for you later... Everything's gonna be okay!" While saying this, she intended to get out of bed, so she started turning to the bed's side and readied to stand up.

She didn't want to talk with him about anything on the bed, because whenever that happened, their talks always ended in the same way.

"Ouch!"

Ximena cried out as her arm was pulled all of a sudden. Immediately, she fell back on the bed. In an instant, she was trapped between Aaron's thick, strong arms.

"Well," Ximena started, struggling to get out of Aaron's arms. "I'm hungry, so could you please let me go!" Her mind was still filled with what that taxi driver had said to her. She was really not in the mood to deal with Aaron or to satisfy any of his desires. Ximena's tone informed Aaron that she really meant to go. Staring down at her with his sharp eyes, as if he was going to see her through, he was confused. 'Why is she acting like this?' he thought, furrowing his eyebrows. In a questioning tone, he asked, "What happened?"

"Nothing," Ximena said, instantly denying everything by instinct. But the man gazed at her with a laser-sharp stare, and so she turned her head and avoided him completely.

Hearing that, Aaron's eyes turned dark. Instead of releasing her, he lowered his body towards her...

Ximena didn't have the energy to cater to him. Unconsciously, she attempted to push him away with her hands. To her surprise, she succeeded and Aaron let go of her.

Pursing her lips, she looked at Aaron and asked, "Can you let me off today?" Aaron just stared at Ximena with cold eyes. Sighing, she started, taking a deep breath, "See, this is not because of James. Nothing of this is because of him. It's just...something happened today that extremely upset me."

After hearing that, Aaron didn't do anything but stare at her. He knew clearly the reason why she refused him was not because of James, because a while ago in the garden house, she had kept calling for her parents in her sleep. Also, he understood why she wouldn't tell him the true reason of her mood nosediving. Therefore, he got out of the bed, put on his shoes and stood up by the side of the bed. "Okay then," he said, in his cheery voice. "Let's go to have dinner. Let's eat out today. Get ready. I'm going to wait for you outside." After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the bedroom, and closed the door behind him very gently. Ximena wasn't in the mood to think about why Aaron hadn't reacted angrily to her refusal, which would have easily provoked him. Taking deep breaths to pump herself up, Ximena got out of the bed, washed her face and changed her clothes. Then she walked out of the bedroom, intending to eat out together with Aaron, though she had no appetite at all.

Aaron drove the car by himself, passing the bustling streets and roads in QY Island and glancing at Ximena every now and again. Since she had gotten on the car, she had been looking out of the window as quietly as a meek cat, which was not like her at all. "There will be a party in the council hall next week. You're going to accompany me," Aaron said, looking at the road.

"Hmm," Ximena answered. But then she remembered that Aaron had already told her this yesterday. Because of that, she turned her head to face Aaron, confused.

Feeling that Ximena was looking at her, Aaron took another glance at her. Seeing that she looked confused, he explained, in an apathetic tone, "I was just checking whether you have gotten it right or not."

Hearing that, Ximena gritted her teeth secretly, then she sniffed, turning her face to face the window again. "I am in gloomy mood, yes, but that does not mean that my brain stopped functioning," she said, rolling her eyes.

"Good," Aaron sneered. "A brainless person is not allowed to stay by my side."

Hearing that, Ximena looked at him. She opened her mouth, intending to say something, but ultimately decided not to. Leaning her head back against the chair, she looked ahead. The words that the taxi driver had told her had already slipped her mind, but then it all came back right at that moment.

She wondered, 'Should I choose to get to know them or not?' But then she knew that she would feel more pain the moment she knew the truth. 'I mean, if that didn't happen, what else would?' she thought.

At a shrimp fishing field

A man who wore a long-sleeved T-shirt and a bucket hat was catching shrimps with a fishing rod in his hands. By his side sat a man, who seemed to be in his thirties, smoking in a leisurely manner. It was the taxi driver who had driven Ximena from the cafe to her shop earlier that day. "I have passed your words to Ximena Mo," the driver said.

"Fortunately you're in QY Island," the other man, who was wearing a bucket hat, said, raising his head slowly. He had a square face, on which there were many bumps and hollows. His eyes were very small yet unusually sharp. Slowly, he continued, "Aaron's men are keeping extremely close watch on her. If I go to tell her that by myself, I'm afraid that I will be taken away by them before I even utter a single word."

Hearing that, the taxi driver could not help but burst into laughter. "Are you really that afraid?" he asked.

"Yes, I am!" the man in the bucket hat answered seriously. Looking ahead and sighing slightly, he added, "Every member of our organization knows that Aaron could not be tamed or controlled. They know this in their hearts, but none of them is willing to admit this fact." Sighing slightly again, the man withdrew the fishing rod in his hands and picked up the shrimp he had just gotten, then he placed some more bait. He did all these in a peaceful and careful manner. It was not until he threw the fishing line into the water again that he continued slowly, "However, I'm afraid he doesn't know that our organization never intends to kill Ximena." After taking a short pause, he continued, "That is because nobody knows how Aaron would react and avenge her death, which would be unpredictable. Thus nobody dare risk doing a deal that is likely to lose money."

Hearing that, the taxi driver threw the cigarette butt on the ground, grinding it with his foot. "Are you really going to tell her at the banquet in the council hall?" It seemed that he could not understand how the other man would make it. "You're not supposed to have a chance to do that, right?"

The man in the bucket hat said, "That would not be so difficult as you think, because one, Aaron is quite self-conceited, and two, we're not planning on killing Ximena."

"But will Ximena believe what you are going to tell her?"

"She will!" the man said, a smile on his lips. "Because what I will show her is not a made-up story. I will show her facts!"
