Lifelong Companion novel Chapter 17

The next early morning, Melissa gave a low murmur and woke up.

Suddenly, she exclaimed and sprang up from the bed.

Her skin was exposed to the cold air in an instant. She grabbed the quilt unconsciously to cover herself.

Yesterday's memory slowly rose in her mind, and her face instantly stiffened.

Sitting on one side of the table, Aaron took off his black rimmed glasses and threw it to the other side before he said expressionlessly, "No rules."

Her heart skipped a beat suddenly, then Melissa covered herself up with the quilt quickly.

She looked quite stunned. After swallowing the saliva, she said in broken words, "Aaron... Did you do something to me? "

She didn't have a clear memory of yesterday. She only remembered sitting on the grass with Aaron and talking about the past. Then she seemed to fall asleep by accident...

She didn't think that Aaron would let her sleep well.

He opened the drawer and stuffed the documents he was handling into it. Then he said with a faint smile, "Isn't it normal for me to want you?"

Her face turned red and Melissa didn't speak for a long time.

He handed the check to Melissa again and said with a poker face, "Here's the money. You can take it to repair your shabby house. But you can't go back without my permission. Do you understand?"

Joy was written on the face of Melissa, and then she continued, "Really? Can I decorate it? Aaron! I'll pay you back! "

Unexpectedly, Aaron suddenly grabbed her by the jaw, putting his face close to her and provoked, "Pay me back? How can you pay me back? By your body?"

There was a strange taste hidden in his words. Melissa was so speechless that she could only look at him with a red face.

As he rubbed his forehead, Aaron pointed to the clean clothes near the bed and said, "Well. You can change your clothes and go to a place with me. If you really want to pay me back, be a dumb for me."

"Okay..."

Melissa nodded in a low voice. She didn't speak, as if she had recalled what had happened the day before. The moment she reached out her hand, she turned around stiffly to look at the man in front of her and asked, "Mr. Aaron, will you leave me on the street again this time?"

Aaron didn't answer, but pushed open the door and walked out directly.

The big room suddenly became quiet. Melissa forced a smile, and then laughed at herself, "Just a sudden tenderness. How can I expect him to be gentle all the time?"

Melissa tapped on her forehead and washed up quickly.

An hour later, the atmosphere at the table was particularly weird.

On the opposite side of a large table, there were several people, though Melissa couldn't name them, she was very familiar with the woman sitting on the right.

Gina was staring at her with a look that would have torn her apart, as if she had committed a heinous crime.

All the people kept silent while staring at others, so the atmosphere was extremely weird.

Finally, Gina couldn't suppress her anger anymore. She slapped her chopsticks heavily on the table, and then pointed at the tip of Melissa's nose. "What makes you think you are qualified to sit here?"

She couldn't stand it. Why did this woman join their family party?

Gina's face instantly got pale. She quickly walked ahead, reaching out her hand to push Melissa away. Then she leaned into the arms of Aaron and sobbed, "Aaron! How can you do this to me? The status of this woman is so low. How can I be inferior to her? Aaron! Aaron!"

How long had they known each other? How could this woman get so close to Aaron in such a short time? How could he protect Melissa in public even though he knew it may irritate her father?

Frowning slightly, Aaron shook off her hand hard, putting his arms around the shoulders of Melissa, he stepped back. Then he said coldly, "I don't want to say the same words again. Furthermore, cancel those engagements, my marriage is not up to others."

Then he slapped the chopsticks in his hand heavily on the table, and then Aaron turned around and left while dragging Melissa.

Sean was watching worriedly. He knew the temper of Aaron better than anyone else.

Sean then looked at Gina with a reproachful look. He stand up in a hurry and drag her. "Sister, don't be so rush. You know well what character Aaron has!"

Then he made a few instructions in a hurry before he chased them.

If the two families were to break up, both sides wouldn't get any benefits, which should be known to Aaron. He would never do anything uncertain.

Behind them, Gina's crying resounded in the sky, while Melissa who had been dragged away by Aaron was furrowing tightly. She kept silent, as if she had really become a mute.

All of a sudden, Aaron stopped. Melissa bumped into the back of Aaron. Thus her spine cooled instantly.

She stepped back, trying to explain something. But before she could say anything, Aaron said first, "It was just a show. What else can you pay back except for your dirty body?"

Biting her lips, Melissa closed her lips tightly and kept silent.

While the two of them were in a stalemate, Sean rushed over from behind and broke this weird situation.
