Lifelong Companion novel Chapter 16

Aaron stared at the GPS in his cell phone and said to himself, "Does that woman live in this place?"

The necklace he gave to Melissa was not an ordinary necklace, but a one with GPS navigation device, so that he could find Melissa at anytime and anywhere. Of course, the premise is that Melissa takes it with her.

Turning left and right, a few moments later, Aaron stopped walking, staring at at a small and shabby house.

Melissa must be here now, right?

He stopped subconsciously. It was hard for him to guess. Had Melissa lived in such a dangerous house that would collapse at any time in the past?

But the thought that Melissa didn't obey his order and left just made Aaron suddenly depressed. He took the initiative to go ahead, and kicked the door open with strength.

The door which was on the verge of collapse was kicked down in an instant.

Melissa leaned back against the wall, furrowing her brows, as if she was not aware of the situation at all. Yet her tears kept rolling down, her lips opened and closed, which seemed to keep muttering something. In her arms, there was a narrow wooden board and a photo, which looked extremely weird.

Giving her a suspicious look, Aaron thought that she was just acting.

"Get up."

His voice came down from the top of Melissa's head. If it was usual times, Melissa would have stood up easily in a few movements, and she wouldn't hold on to the original action.

But to everyone's surprise, Melissa had no intention to get up. She furrowed her brows more tightly and her tears rolling down more quickly.

He lifted his foot and kicked Melissa on her shin. The woman just sobbed and didn't have other reactions.

Noticing that something was wrong, Aaron was about to lift her from the ground, yet his left arm was suddenly grabbed by Melissa. She was like a koala tightly glued to Aaron.

The face of Melissa turned pale. She choked with sobs as she cried, "Mom... Don't leave me... I didn't, I didn't... I didn't! "

A thick nasal mucus came out of the tip of Melissa's nose and then stuck onto the arms of Aaron.

Suddenly, Aaron's face darkened.

"Let me go!"

There was a hint of tenderness in his words, which Aaron himself did not realize.

Gritting her teeth tightly and trembling violently, Melissa suddenly shouted fiercely, "Don't leave me... I'm a good girl, really good girl. Why accused me... Why? "

Aaron raised his hand and slapped across the face of Melissa. Then he yanked his hand back and scolded, "Are you out of your mind?"

He didn't have time to see her play this funny trick to get his sympathy. Such a trick was too childish!

The slap came so suddenly that Melissa's ears were buzzing. Then Melissa opened her eyes.

Her eyes were red and swollen with a note of cuteness, which looked like an innocent rabbit. Seeing this, Aaron's heart beat faster.

The dazed Melissa suddenly came to her senses at the sight of Aaron.

She stepped back subconsciously, and it was not until she leaned against the wall that she stammered, "Aaron... Aaron?"

Didn't he leave her alone? Why did he come here?

When she opened her mouth, she felt a sharp pain on her left face. She unconsciously made a sound because of pain. She stretched her hand to touch her left face and found that it was not a dream. The pain was too real.

She looked at her hands subconsciously, and there was a look of panic flashing through her face. Then she quickly squatted down and picked up the small plate and the photo. She was secretly relieved.

However, trouble had just begun.

"But we are not in the villa..."

"Shut up! Don't talk too much!"

After being scolded by Aaron, Melissa pursed her lips and jumped down quickly. She didn't dare to say a word.

She sat sideways on the grass. The starry sky was like a dream.

An endless horizon in the sky, sparsely scattered some starlight. Melissa's eyes narrowed and she felt a little relieved. At this moment, Aaron spoke first.

"How did your mother die?"

His words were a little abrupt. Melissa was stunned and didn't say anything for a long time.

He impatiently pushed her away and shouted angrily, "Are you dumb?"

Coming back to herself, Melissa shook her head and said slowly, "No, I just feel a little strange. My mother... She was murdered. But no one believes that. "

There was a sadness in her smile, which even made Aaron feel confused.

His heart trembled slightly and his Adam’s apple rolled. Then Aaron sat on the grass with her. He gave the water to Melissa and continued to ask, "Murder? Why? "

Confusion and vigilance was written all over the face of Melissa. Subconsciously, she moved a little away from him and pried, "Aaron, you look so strange today. Why do you ask me these questions?"

She didn't think this man would prove the innocence for her mother.

After hearing his words, Melissa forced a smile and began to talk more.

However, they didn't know that their hearts were approaching each other slowly in such a circumstance...
