Annie stepped back almost instinctively. “What are you doing?”
Aaron held them tightly and said, “I didn’t use any of the ones you bought for me the other day.”
Annie was speechless. ‘And? What is he trying to tell me? Is he saying he didn’t use them because he did it raw with his
girlfriend the other day? Is he trying to say he doesn’t mind having a baby with her? Is he warning me to stop having feelings for
him?’
She felt a little embarrassed. “Okay, okay. I get it. I won’t bother you again in the future. You don’t have to do this to me.”
Aaron did not know how to react after concluding she had misunderstood. “What I’m trying to say is, I can’t bring myself to use
what you bought for me, so I didn’t do anything with that woman.”
‘What do you mean by that? You’re acting super weird today! I can’t even understand what you’re talking about!’ Annie thought to
herself. She then asked, “Umm... What are you even talking about?”
Aaron smiled and leaned over to her ear. He then whispered to her, “Since you’re the one who bought them, I’ve decided to save
them and use them with you in the future!”
Annie’s face turned red in an instant. Her lips twitched too, and she felt incredibly offended. She raised her hand and slapped
him twice. Then, she opened the bathroom door and left.
Aaron walked out of the bathroom with two very clear slap marks on his face.
Corinne and Xante stood at the door and looked at him with disgust.
Xante chided smugly, “Serves you right!”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates...
Aaron shrugged. “I don’t mind this at all!”
Corinne rubbed her temples and said, “Come upstairs with me.”
Aaron and Xante followed her to her bedroom.
Someone brought food to their room, perhaps as a gesture of apology from Pamela who felt that Francine had crossed the line.
Joey was already fast asleep by then.
After Corinne placed him down on the bed and covered him with the blanket, she walked to the door and opened it slightly to
peek outside. Once she confirmed no people were in the vicinity, she closed the door and sat on the sofa. She then said to
Aaron and Xante, “In two days, I’ll ask Grandma Pamela to bring me out of the house so I can clear my mind. I’ll let you know
when and where. There will be a lot of bodyguards following us at that time, so you two will have to find a way to lure them away.
That’ll be my chance to escape.”
Aaron and Xante looked solemnly at each other before nodding to Corinne.
Xante said, “Okay. Don’t worry. We’ll arrange everything and synchronize with you.”
“Where do you plan on escaping to?” Aaron asked. “Should I book the flight in advance?”
Corinne said curtly, “Your sole responsibility is to distract those bodyguards. Don’t bother about anything else. Where I head to
after that isn’t important.”
Aaron frowned and asked unhappily, “What do you mean by that? You’re not going to tell us anything?”
Corinne glanced at him. “That’s not it. I haven’t even decided where to go yet. I can’t leave the country through the two of you.”
“Then who’ll help you by then?” Aaron asked again.
“Jeremy knows I’m in contact with the two of you,” she reminded. “When I leave, he’ll definitely demand answers from the two of
you. If he finds out that you facilitated my departure, you’re going to have a hard time dealing with him. That’s exactly why I’m
seeking someone else’s help!”
