Annie picked up a piece of sliced cucumber and threw it at him. “What do you mean, getting it on? Would it kill you
to be less rude?”
Sunny dodged the flying cucumber. “Okay, okay! I shouldn’t have used that phrase. I’ll rephrase my question,
alright? Are you in a relationship with Aaron?”
Annie’s face soured even more. “Like hell I am!”
Sunny frowned in confusion. “So, you came here to help out voluntarily?”
Annie snorted. “Corinne is here! Can’t I come and take care of her?”
Sunny finally realized what Annie meant. “Ah, so you’re here for Corinne! What happened to her and Jeremy,
though? Why did she come here instead of going back to the Holdens?”
Annie started to worry a little when he mentioned Jeremy and Corinne. “Nothing happened. They met, the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtatmosphere between them was really bad, and they parted ways on bad terms because of some animosity. Corinne
then decided to come here.”
Sunny showed a bit of concern for Corinne. “Parted ways on bad terms? Didn’t Jeremy chase after her? He’s been
looking everywhere for Corinne! Logically speaking, he should’ve tried to follow her here!”
Annie shrugged helplessly. “I have no idea what’s going on either. But since Uncle Jeremy didn’t chase after her,
I’ve decided to come over and take care of her on his behalf.”
Sunny thought for a while and moved closer to try and ask some more questions. Before he could ask the question,
someone grabbed him by the collar from behind and pulled him away.
Aaron smiled, but his tone was rife with displeasure. “You don’t need to go that close if you want to talk to her.
Don’t you know that men and women should always maintain a distance from each other?”
Sunny nearly laughed when he realized that Aaron was the one who pulled him away. “Who are you to tell me that
men and women should always maintain a certain distance from each other? You love having intimate contact with
women more than anyone!”
After that remark, Annie rolled her eyes at Aaron and looked away.
Aaron ushered Sunny out and said, “Go watch some television in the living room if you’re not helping. Don’t make a
fuss here!”
Sunny tidied up his collar. “Tch! And I thought you’re not in a relationship with her. You’re jealous!” He then turned
to Annie and said, “I should warn you, Aaron is allergic to being exclusive to one partner. You need to be careful!”
Aaron glared at Sunny with a smile. “I can get Xante to dump you with just one sentence, you know. Would you like
to see me try?”
Sunny immediately zipped his mouth. He turned around arrogantly and went to the living room to watch television.
Annie lowered her head and prepared to start cooking.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAaron walked up to her and said in a low voice, “I was a jerk in the past. Could you give me a chance to change my
ways?”
Annie did not look up at him. “You’re saying this to the wrong person. You should be telling that to someone willing
to give you a chance, not someone who already has a boyfriend!”
Aaron kept quiet. He reached out to take some of the sauce-stained bowls on the table and brought them to the
sink to wash them.
Annie heaved a sigh of relief as well. She thanked the heavens that she was a woman of principle. Otherwise, she
would have been unable to control herself from surrendering herself to Aaron. The way he acted that day was so
genuine. If she did not have a boyfriend, she might just fall in love with him.
‘Stop thinking about it! I’ve already decided that I’ll get to know Marcus better! Stop thinking about Aaron! I can’t
have an emotional affair! Snap out of it!’ Annie reminded herself.
Sunny was sitting in the living room while enjoying some snacks and watching television. However, he snuck a peek
