Chapter 965 Extra Story 103 Of Aaron Love (2/2)
”You're my wife in name only, on paper only. My heart and love will never be yours.”
Edward made it clear to Daisy that she was nothing to him. They were both victims of family greed -- the marriage was arranged for them.
Six years passed. She remained quiet, gaining a reputation in the army as a tough-as-nails colonel. When she walked into his life again, Edward fell in love with this woman...
anding by her side.
It was Aaron. He looked into Ximena's eyes, which had no focus now. It was as if she had lost her soul. Sighing quietly, he said,”It's very late. Come back to your bedroom and go to bed. Okay?” He wasn't ordering her to go. It was more of a request.
Even though Aaron had the power to destroy everybody, and he stood in the highest position, Aaron could still lower his head and humble himself in front of the person that he cared about.
Ximena moved her gaze to Aaron and blinked as if to come back to reality. 'This man... is in pain as well, isn't he? It's okay. We can be in pain together, ' she thought.
After a moment when he saw that Ximena didn't move at all, Aaron bent down without saying a word and gently picked her up in his arms. He then turned and carried her out of the garden house and headed to the main house. Such was the relationship that they were fated to have. Aaron and Ximena resisted each other and yet they were both attracted to each other. Despite the torment, Aaron was content for at least Ximena shared the same home as him.
Sometimes when he passed by,”Only Memory,” he always had the impulse to walk into the shop and have a look. According to the shop manager's daily report to him, Aaron learned that she was able to smile, at least at work. He had been happy to hear that. It was not until then that he understood how it felt when a person's emotions were affected by another person, as his mother had put it.
After entering the main house, with Ximena in his arms, Aaron strode towards her bedroom. However, on the way there when he reached the center of the living room, he heard Ximena quietly ask,”Aaron, have you ever loved me?”
