“Aaron, | want to add Lena on WhatsApp.”
Xandra actually asked Aaron, gently tugging on his sleeve with a delicate and endearing expression that made
her look pitifully lovable.
Aaron glanced at her, his gaze filled with a warmth Lena was all too familiar with. Once upon a time, he had
looked at her the sway. Now, he could look at other women like that.
So, never believe a man when he says things like, I've liked you for years.
“If you want to add her, then add her,” Aaron’s approval made Xandra look at him with delight.
Lena, however, truly didn’t want to add her. She and Xandra weren't close, and they likely wouldn't ever be.
Lena didn’t enjoy socializing with strangers, so she smiled faintly. “Aren’t you afraid | might tell her something
about you, Uncle Aaron?”
Aaron’s gaze turned cold and distant, his voice calm. “There's nothing aboutthat Xandy can’t know.”
Ha!

Lena sneered inwardly. If that were the case, why had he just warned her earlier?
Double standards, much!

request, she set it to “chat only.”
No matter what reason Xandra had for adding her-whether it was to flaunt her relationship or something else-
Lena didn’t want a stranger to disrupt her life.
“Let’s go,” Aaron said after they finished, addressing Xandra.
Xandra seemed reluctant to leave, responding with a soft, “Oh.”
“You don’t have to leave, Aunt Xandra,” Lena interjected casually, catching Aaron’s attention as his eyes lifted
slightly to look at her.
Hearing this, Briana quickly chimed in, “That's right! Xandy, you're welcto stay here.”
“No need, ma'am, I...” Xandra started to refuse, but as she addressed Briana as “ma’am,” an awkwardness
settled over her.
Technically, since she was with Aaron, she should've called her Briana.
“Until we're married, Xandy and | won't be living together, Aaron stated, breaking the awkward atmosphere. He
then looked at Xandra, who took the hint and left the Ace family hwith him.
After they left, Briana went to help her parents freshen up for bed before retiring to her own room.
Lena could've left too, but since Aaron planned to reveal his true parentage, Briana was worried their
grandparents wouldn't take it well and insisted Lena stay the night. Left with no choice, Lena agreed.
There was a room for her in the house, one separated from Aaron's by only a wall. For sreason, she didn’t
feel like going to that room right now.
In fact, she didn’t even want to breathe the sair as him
