"It's me, Dr. Clarke." Jensen smiled and said, "Excuse me for showing up unannounced."

Aaron returned his smile. "There's no need to feel bad. I'm sure you have your reasons for coming. Please, come in."

Jensen looked into his eyes. Through the lens of Aaron's glasses, he noticed his gaze was ice cold. There was no trace of friendliness in his eyes.

Obviously, Aaron did not welcome his arrival at all.

Jensen looked at him calmly and replied, "Thank you."

As he spoke, he entered the house.

Aaron's house was extremely neat and tidy.

Jensen saw that the whole house was spotless. It did not seem like a place where a single man would be living in at all.

"He is a doctor. Doctors are workaholics and they like cleanliness. However, it's a little too spotless, to the point where it is suspicious," Jensen thought to himself.

More importantly, there wasn't even a trace of dust in any corner. How meticulous!

A person who paid so much attention to the details of his hygiene must be meticulous in every other aspect as well.

Jensen continued observing the living room. The sofa was spick and span; even the rug did not have a single wrinkle in it.

"Does he have mysophobia or OCD?" Jensen wondered.

"Please take a seat," Aaron said.

Jensen smiled at him and sat down on a wooden bench.

Aaron paused. "You can sit on the sofa."

"It mustn't have been easy for you to clean up. If I sit here, you'll just need to wipe the seat," Jensen returned with a smile.

Aaron looked at him in surprise and lowered his gaze. He then turned his head to look at Jensen and said, "You worry too much. I hired someone to clean the house. I don't do it myself. I don't have the time." "Really?" Jensen smiled and insisted, "I'd better sit here anyway."

"It's up to you." Aaron smiled as he sat opposite Jensen on the sofa.

Jensen slightly raised his eyebrows.

The distance between them was neither too far nor too close. It was suitable for a conversation, but the lighting was a little dim.

Jensen noticed that he couldn't see the expression on Aaron's face.

He suspected that Aaron had deliberately picked such a seat. It seemed casual, but it was actually calculated.

Jensen could not help suspecting that Aaron had done this deliberately. From his position, Jensen's expression could be seen clearly.

Jensen suddenly moved the wooden bench to the side. Instead of bowing his head, he stared at Aaron's expression.

Aaron noticed his movements and paused; the smile on his face frozen. He then quickly calmed down.

Jensen did not explain. He adjusted his position and looked at Aaron with a smile.

"Why are you here?" Obviously, Aaron had lost his patience and began urging Jensen.

"Oh, I want to know more about Jodie," Jensen answered.

"Jodie and I used to be together, but that's in the past."

"Jodie came to you last night." Jensen was not in a hurry. He continued, "She stayed here for more than two hours. What did you two get up to in such a long time?"

Aaron was taken aback. It seemed that he didn't expect Jensen to be so precise with the timing. He was a little confused, but he still answered, "We didn't do anything. She begged me to forgive her." "Anything else?" Jensen continued to question him.

"We didn't have sex." Aaron replied bluntly. "If you want to ask whether I slept with Jodie, then I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to disappoint you. Jodie and I didn't have sex last night." "But after you guys reunited, you slept together." Jensen smiled as he pressed him.

Frowning, Aaron was obviously unhappy. He continued in a cold voice, "We didn't sleep together after our reunion. Do you think I'm that desperate for a woman? That I would go sleep with someone who refused to get a divorce and almost killed herself over some other man?"

His tone was obviously a little pressed, as if he was in denial. He was panting slightly, revealing a hint of emotion.

Jensen just smiled and reminded him, "Dr. Clarke, don't worry. I don't have any other intentions."

Aaron eased his mood slightly and said in a calm voice, "I am a righteous person with moral values. When I realised that the situation was not what I thought, I had already given up."

"Yes." Jensen agreed. "You give me the impression that you aren't the type to be obsessive and stubborn."

Aaron's eyes darted back and forth. He did not say anything, but his expression was still calm.

"Does Jodie want to be with you?" Jensen asked again.

Aaron answered, "Yes, that's what she said. She doesn't want me to leave her, but I don't need a woman who doesn't love me."

"Even if I have feelings for her that run deep, I don't want to continue to spend time with a woman who doesn't love me."

Jensen nodded in agreement. "Yes, no man would want that."

Aaron nodded as well.

Jensen smiled again and continued, "Dr. Clarke, have you ever seen the lions in the wild in Alsburg?"

Aaron frowned. "Yes, I have."

"The male lions are all territorial," Jensen remarked. "When competing for a mate, they are willing to go through a blood bath with the other males."

Aaron seemed to be a little surprised, and somewhat astonished by Jensen's words. "Just say what you want to say, stop beating around the bush."

"The lions there are willing to kill each other to obtain a mate. In the end, tragedy ensues." Jensen sighed and asked, "Do you think it's worth risking your life for a lioness? Besides, there are plenty of lionesses around."

Aaron smiled, his eyes flashing, and then he asked in return, "Then would you give up your beloved Miss Smith because you are afraid of getting hurt?"

Jensen paused, and returned, "Dr. Clarke, what you mean is, if you were a lion, you wouldn't give up your mate, right?"

Aaron's gaze was sharp as he responded, "I will not give up as long as it's within the scope of morality."

Jensen smiled, took out the USB flash drive from his pocket and fiddled with it in his hand.

He did not look away from Aaron's eyes, as if he was just casually taking it out.

When Aaron saw the USB flash drive in his hand, he stared at it. He looked at it for quite a while, but nothing happened.

Aaron was looking at it very seriously.

Jensen noticed that when Aaron saw it, his expression had obviously changed.

If he wasn't mistaken, Aaron had seen this item before.

Aaron narrowed his eyes, but he still remained calm.

He looked at Jensen and asked, "What do you want from me? Just tell me. I don't like to beat around the bush. Wasting time is like wasting money."
