Love Began with the First Meeting
Chapter 992 Extra Story 130 Of Aaron Disappearance

While saying that, Ximena had tears streaming down her cheeks and waved her hands about flustered. She had lost all self-control and was pacing the room, muttering her thoughts out loud in a panic, "What can I do...what? She's gone...missing!" All of a sudden, she

grasped Aaron's arm and pleaded with him, "Aaron, help me replace her! Would you please help me look for her. Please?"

Aaron stared at Ximena, taken aback. He'd never seen her behave in such a way or be so anxious before. She wasn't her usual arrogant self.

When she realized that Aaron was only staring at her without saying a word, Ximena closed her eyes to compose herself. When she opened them again, she fixed them on Aaron's. "Will you help me replace her?" she asked in a calmer tone.

"Okay." The words slipped out unintentionally from his lips, and he grimaced slightly. However, when he saw the hope and aspiration burning in her beautiful almond eyes, he felt that perhaps he shouldn't have given in to her and make such a promise.

It wouldn't be until sometime later that Aaron would discover that his weakness of giving into Ximena now, and his greed for her being happy would result in hurting Ximena deeply.

At the airport, Ken stopped the plane just before the cabin door was about to close. Freya stared up at him in confusion. Without offering her any explanation, Ken whisked her off the plane and put her into the car, heading straight to the urban area.

Ken knew that anybody else other than Aaron could not have made such a decision. He also knew that nobody except for Ximena would be able to change Aaron's mind.

It was evident what had happened. 'His Highness couldn't bear to see Ximena so miserable and had a change of heart, 'Ken thought.

With these thoughts in mind, he sighed silently. He glanced in the rearview mirror and noticed that Freya had lowered her eyes and held her handbag protectively to her chest. She appeared very apprehensive and helpless as if she didn't know what was going to happen or what to do.

"I suggest you forget about what happened today, as if didn't happen at all," Ken said in an indifferent tone while withdrawing his sight to look ahead. "I believe I don't need to tell you how to respond to Miss Mo about your sudden disappearance, but you should think twice before telling her anything else."

Freya glanced up timidly and nodded. "I, I understand."

The two of them became silent again. While the car was nearing the urban area, it seemed that the atmosphere in the vehicle gradually became awkward. Finally, the car stopped at the front of a cafe. Sitting in the backseat of the vehicle, Freya looked out of the window, confused. Meanwhile, Ken said, "His Highness and Miss Mo are inside the cafe."

Then he got out of the car and guided Freya into the cafe.

Freya's drab clothes looked somewhat out of place at such a high-end place. However, when she walked into the cafe together with Ken, nobody dared tell her that she shouldn't be allowed to enter the cafe in such attire.

As soon as she saw Freya, Ximena's eyes became teary, but a smile appeared at the corners of her mouth. She stood up and walked over to Freya, greeting her warmly, "Aunt..." She had to bite her tongue to prevent herself from criticizing Freya for her sudden disappearance. She told herself that it was okay because she was finally found. Therefore, she said in a whiny tone like that of a spoiled child, "Where did you go?"

When Freya heard the question, she froze, and the corners of her mouth quivered. "I, I just..." She glanced nervously at Aaron, who was sitting at the table. "I didn't go anywhere. I just went for a walk," Freya finally answered in a mousy voice and gave her a bitter smile. Ximena noticed that Freya wasn't telling her the whole truth and knew that it was best not to continue with the topic at this point. She led Freya to the table to sit down opposite Aaron. Raising her arrogant eyebrows, she introduced her to Aaron, "This is my aunt." Then she looked at Freya and said to her, "This is Aaron. He's my man for the time being."

Hearing Ximena's straightforward introduction, all the people present were stunned. Freya had known that Ximena was Aaron's girlfriend, but everybody on QY Island knew who Aaron was and when they heard Ximena introduce him in this undignified way, they wondered how Aaron tolerated her.

Aaron fixed his deep eyes on Ximena. Although he knew that she had introduced him without thinking, he still felt quite happy. He thought, 'Ximena, I can't promise that I won't ever hurt you. I only hope that I can minimize the pain. You're delighted at this moment. I want to keep you happy like this forever. What should I do?'

Aaron gestured to a waiter and then shortly after, the waiter brought some desserts and drinks to the table. Aaron said, "You may chat with your aunt here. I have to go back to the company. How about having lunch together later on?"

"You don't need to take care of us if you're busy," Ximena said with a bright smile on her face, raising her eyebrows and winking slightly to Aaron in a cheeky manner. Meanwhile, she lifted her chin slightly, which indicated her hidden intention of challenging Aaron. Aaron found that she had regained her arrogance once again.

After looking at her with his deep eyes for a moment, he bent slightly to give her a soft kiss on the forehead. "Even though I'm busy, I will make the time to have a meal together with you and your aunt," he responded.

In an instant, Ximena's face became as red as a cooked shrimp. She looked at Aaron with anger and embarrassment in her eyes. Aaron's eyes turned dark. With an almost invisible smile at the corners of his mouth, he stood up. After saying goodbye to Freya by the gesture of a slight nod, he turned around and left impartially. Ximena sat and watched Aaron leave and could do nothing but make a face behind his back.
