Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 866

A man would reshape his view of life only if he was driven to the most desperate corner and confronted with the dangers of death. Although the fact that he had lost his legs kept torturing him after he woke up from his coma, when he had seen the painful eyes of his beloved family, he had been shattered. Immediately, he felt as if he could see through everything and gave up everything.

Slowly closing his eyes, he smiled faintly. 'Ximena, you will be happier without me, ' he thought with a bittersweet smile.

Ximena was sitting at the table, having breakfast, while Aaron sat opposite to her, eating from his plate. Neither of them spoke to each other.

"Miss Mo, your medicine." The servant handed Ximena a cup of warm water and a pill.

Ximena took it from her and gulped it down in front of Aaron with an indifferent expression. It was the same expression she wore every time she was sexually abused by him.

After throwing a glare at her, Aaron said coldly, "I never asked you to take it, and you don't have to eat it in front of me every day."

Ximena drank some water and looked at Aaron, "Your Highness, are you saying... that I can bear your baby?"

Aaron's hands froze slightly, and he furrowed his brows.

Ximena laughed playfully, with a brilliant charm about her. Before her two months staying with him, she had never lived high on the hog like now, although, of course, she had to meet the crazy physiological needs of the man in front of her every night. But she was no longer a normal woman living at the bottom of the food chain. She held the title of "The Mistress of His Highness", and lived the life of a queen under the cover of the powerful Aaron.

"I'm just kidding, Your Highness. Don't mind me." Ximena grinned and carried on with her breakfast.

As Aaron looked quietly at Ximena, who had no demeanor of the person she was two months before, a cold smile spread at the corners of his lips. He asked, "Do you think that since you have been with me for a long time, you can be unscrupulous and make jokes in front of me?"

Ximena smiled and said calmly, "No." She looked into his eyes. "I have just stopped struggling and am ready to accept any kind of ending that might be awaiting me." She didn't care what happened to her anymore and would accept any kind of torturous end… Even if he finally threw her to those gangsters who had bullied her, she wouldn't care. When a person stopped caring about anything, he would end up being afraid of nothing. Such a person could only face each day more casually and happily.

A voice from the TV broke the silence. "The shareholders of Leng's Corporations have launched collective protests against the Leng Family, and the protects had been exposed to the public earlier today. According to an insider, the current situation of Leng's Corporations is related to the third young master of the Leng Family. Professor, what's your opinion on this?"

the host of the Financial and Economics Analysis Column asked some other person. Ximena turned to the television. A professor was explaining the issues that had arisen within Leng's Corporations over the past two months, including the Congress' attitude towards the company.

Ximena looked at Aaron, and asked flatly, "You did all this, right?"

It was weird that some people could keep living their lives without any changes for many years, yet, a small pebble in the pond could do so much damage in just two months.

After some investigation, she finally found out that the third young master of the Leng Family was actually Ted, or Teddy, as Aaron called him the other day. The real James was the second son of the Leng Family, a man who had retired from the stage four years ago; he was also the man who had promised to love her years ago.

Ximena sneered at herself and continued to eat her breakfast. She remained indifferent to what was being broadcasted on the TV. Their world, she didn't know at all. Thus, she didn't want to bother learning about it either. James didn't love her or want her anymore. She had been obsessed to know why. But no one was ready to tell her. With that being the case, she didn't want to be curious and obsessed about it because she didn't want a complex relationship.
