Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 871

Ximena swallowed in horror, gasping for air. She looked at him without blinking, and finally, Aaron's earlier words started to slowly register in her head.

Her eyes widened abruptly and she blinked several times. She asked, "What did you mean by that?"

Aaron was about to light his cigarette, but stopped after hearing her question. His cold eyes suddenly dimmed, but the emotion vanished in a blink.

"Just quite literally what I said,"

he said lightly, revealing none of his hidden emotions. Ximena had no clue why she was suddenly so interested in the gossip, forgetting about the danger she was in just a moment ago.

"You mean..." she swallowed and continued, "His mother and father eloped and had him without any legal formalities?"

Aaron took a drag of his cigarette and blew the smoke out slowly. He nodded indifferently and said, "Yes." He turned slightly to look at Ximena, "She eloped with the man for her ridiculous love even though she had a fiance back then. She followed him for the sake of her love, without minding the dangers of being spurned and gave birth to his baby without any regrets,"

Aaron said in a slow, cold tone. Ximena felt a chill from the bottom of her feet. She nervously looked at him, biting her lips.

"But that man..." A smile appeared on his lips which gradually spread to his eyes. However, it was not the kind of smile that made people instantly happy; it was the kind that could freeze your soul. He continued, "When her child was hospitalized with a high fever, it came to light that he was all set to marry the daughter of a famous entrepreneur. It was also exposed by the paparazzi that the woman was pregnant with his child. According to the hospital records, the day she had conceived the child was..." He slowly leaned towards Ximena. Her heart couldn't take any more of this tension as he said slowly, "...the day his boy was born."

Ximena stared at Aaron, and she couldn't help but feel sore in her heart. The man in front of her was someone who behaved like that the whole world belonged to him, but at that moment, he was like an abandoned child—lonely and pitiful.

"On the day of the birth of his child…" Aaron's smile slowly faded, "...he was sleeping with another woman."

Though she had already figured out some of the truth, hearing it directly from Aaron made her heart ache and her eyes brimmed with tears.

Aaron raised his hand and gently wiped a drop of tear from the corner of her eye. He pulled her towards him and kissed her abruptly.

Her heart was sour and in pain. She was an orphan. So ever since she was a kid, she envied those children with a complete family. But if having parents came with such experiences, then she was glad that she had born an orphan.

Gently circling her arms around Aaron's waist, Ximena allowed him to gently gnaw and suck on her lips, in an attempt to heal his inner wounds.

All women had this thing called maternal instinct. Once their maternal instinct kicked in, they would be capable of immense sympathy towards children and to people who had suffered. Ximena did not know if that was the reason why she was acting this way. It was just that... As Aaron's words rang in her ear, she felt her silent pained heart slowly arising.

As they were about to arrive at the destination, Ken gradually slowed down. He didn't know why His Highness had said those things to Ximena, but he thought that maybe this might help him walk away from his past life. He wondered if it was because of Ximena, or because he was to soon become the new CEO of Leng's Corporations.
