"We're on our way to pick up the kids now, so we'll probably reach the restaurant in about half an hour," answered Xante.
"Okay. Send me the restaurant's location, and I'll come find you guys later if I have time," said Aaron.
Xante could not take his pretense, so she simply hung up the phone.
"So what did he say?" asked Corinne when she saw Xante hanging up out of the corner of her eyes.
Xante chuckled. "He said he's having dinner with his in-laws at his girlfriend's house."
Corinne frowned. "What is he trying to pull this time?"
Xante shook her head. "I have no idea. He asked me to send him the
restaurant's location and said he'll go if he can. Boss, which restaurant should we go to later?"
Corinne did not have a clue either. "We'll decide later and send him the location after that." "Okay."
Meanwhile, at the Levines' residence.
Aaron put away his phone and turned to help Jenny, Annie's mother, with the vegetables. "Miss Jenny, please let me help you." "No, it's okay, Aaron. I heard you were on the phone just now. Did something urgent happen? You should go if it's urgent," said Jenny.
Aaron smiled and shook his head. "It's nothing urgent. My friend just asked me out for dinner. But I still prefer to eat the food cooked by you since outside food can be so greasy sometimes."
Jenny chuckled happily. "Then stay, and I'll cook up a storm for you."
Aaron rolled up his sleeves and stretched out his hand. "I can't wait, Miss Jenny! Here, let me wash those vegetables for you."
Jenny quickly stopped him. "No, no! It's enough that my husband and I are here to cook. You can head out to the living room to watch TV while waiting for dinner to be ready."
Edward Levine, who was chopping up the vegetables, nodded. "Go watch TV, Aaron. My wife and I can handle everything here."
How could Aaron let go of the opportunity to ingratiate himself to Annie's parents?
"I really can't sit still knowing you two are cooking over here while I'm sitting comfortably over there..."
Jenny liked Aaron even more and more. To make him go out with a piece of mind, she passed him two heads of garlic and said, "Here, peel these cloves of garlic for me, but do it in the living room. I don't want you getting smoke in your clothes from all the cooking." "Roger that," said Aaron with a smile.
He walked to the living room with the two heads of garlic in hand, sat on the sofa, and started peeling the garlic.
Suddenly, the door to the foyer opened.
Upon opening the door with her key, Annie was stunned to see Aaron sitting on the sofa in her home peeling garlic as soon as she came in.

with confusion. "Yes, I see that. But what I'm asking is why are you peeling garlic at my house?" "Your parents asked me to stay for dinner, and I'll feel bad if I don't help out," replied Aaron with a smile. Visit bignovels.com to read the latest chapter of this novel
Annie looked at him with a frown. She then stared at the kitchen and made her
way in.
"Dad, Mom! What is that man doing here? How long has he been here?" she
asked.
Both Jenny and Edward raised their heads to look at her.
