Chapter 1550 Aaron immediately shook his head. "Okay, okay. I'll stop.
"Sit over there." Annie frowned and pointed to the seat opposite her.
Aaron nodded. "I'll do as you say." He then stood up and took his seat across from her. Unfortunately, Annie felt even more uncomfortable as he was able to make direct eye contact with her.
"So, why are you here?" Annie asked, trying to shift the conversation.
Aaron looked at her with a smile. "I heard you were having a blind date here, so | cto check on things." Annie frowned. "Who told you that? That blabbermouth is going to get it from me!" Aaron did not reveal that Sunny was the one who gave him that information. After all, he was a man of sprinciples despite his usual nonchalant attitude. "I have my ways." Annie blushed and frowned upon hearing that. "Ugh, don't givethat bull! You're just here because you're interested in every woman's business!" "Easy there!" Aaron raised his hands helplessly. "I'm not that kind of person! Annie had seen Aaron's flirtatious behavior in the past and no longer trusted his smooth talk.
"Do you find amusement in meeting my oddball of a blind date?" she asked.
Aaron shook his head. "Amusing? Hardly. | find it surprising, more than anything." "Surprising?" Annie blinked in confusion. "How so?" "| find it surprising that he'd dare to speak to you in such a manner," Aaron explained. "You would've been drenched in orange juice if | hadn't intervened." Annie chuckled self-deprecatingly. "Nothing is surprising about that. He thinks I'm an unwanted girl who has no right to look down on him like that, so he got angry and wanted to teacha lesson." Aaron raised an eyebrow. "That's not it. I'm shocked that a person of his social status would have that attitude toward Jeremy's niece!" Annie finally understood what he meant. She laughed at herself and shrugged it off. "The whole world knows I'm Jeremy's niece. | used to enjoy ssort of protection because of him, but this is how everything works since he's missing. My family isn't that close to his family anyway, so it is what it is." Aaron narrowed his eyes. "Is your family going through a tough tas well?" Annie did not want to admit it, but she also did not want to cover it up with a lie.
