Chapter 239 - I agree ! (2/2)

” I am not the type of scared girl that would run away from her responsibilities . ” said Aria and ate another spoon of spaghetti .

' That's why I choose you ! I don't need someone who clings to me but someone who helps me . ' thought Helios with a smile .

” I have a condition though.... ” said Aria whose facial expression became serious .

” What condition ? ” said Helios a bit curious when he saw her so serious .

” Whatever happens or whatever danger that we may face , my family must remain untouched . That is the only thing that I request . ” said Aria with a serious tone leaving the spoon down and crossing her hands .

Helios remained silent as he looked at her . He knew that it wouldn't be easy and his enemies may even try to hurt her . If Aria were to join the group , she would inevitably become a target of the enemy and the enemy would likely use her family to threaten her .

” Mr Castejo ! Despite your offer being very tempting.....No ! I even dare call myself stupid for refusing such a good offer but......I will never accept if my family isn't safe . I don't care if I have to work all my life , without achieving my dream , as long as my family is safe and living happily with me . For as far as you have known me , you know that I am a person who cherishes her family , even though it isn't a perfect one . ” said Aria .

' Cherishes it ?!....Really.....Where does all this love of hers come from ?.....Her family is only a big trouble on her shoulder and a hindrance to her career . Someone who has the possibility to shine , refuses such a chance for people who aren't worth it.......What have they done for her that she has such a big obligation towards them ?!.......It's been so long since I last remember my parents being affectionate towards me . After that incident , they only look at me coldly . From that moment , I was left alone to face things that were too much to bear for a child . Heh......I can't understand her . I want to know where this love of hers comes from . They were cold to me but thanks to them I was born in a world filled with jewels and richess . A world that was destroyed by that damn Karen !.......What do I say to her ?! Do I lie to her ?!...... ' thought Helios with a troubled expresison .

He didn't want to tell her that her family wouldn't be in danger but at the same time, he couldn't bring himself to tell her that the risk for them was high .

” They will be safe ! Don't worry ! ” said Helios with a fake smile .

' I will make sure they are well protected . ' thought Helios .

” If that's so , I will join you . Tell me what I have to do and I will do it . ” said Aria with a smile .

”  You seem strangely happy . ” said Helios .

”  Of course I am ! I was afraid of my family being involved but , knowing that they won't be involved , I am happy to have the chance and do something about myself . The prize that you offered is very satisfying . ” said Aria enjoying her dish .

” Good to hear that , miss Sarehan ! ” said Helios with a smirk .

After talking things throught , Helios and Aria continued to enjoy their meal . When they finished , Aria looked at her phone and noticed that it was time to go back to work .

” It's almost time for the lunch break to end . I need to go back to work . ” said Aria .

” Let's go to the company then . ” said Helios with a smile .

The waiter came to their table with the bill in his hands . Helios opened his jacket to get hos wallet but Aria took the bill from the waiter's hands and looked at it . She opened her wallet and gave the waiter the payment for their lunch along with the bill .

” Here you are ! The food was delicious . ” said Aria with a polite tone and smile .

” Thank you miss for your compliment ! ” said the waiter with a smile .
