Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 920

"So Ximena, do you want to have a baby?" Aaron asked, fire burning in his eyes. Not waiting for a reply, he continued, "Well, okay then! Let's have a baby! I'll give you anything you want!"

Fury was all Aaron could feel. Much like a time bomb, his words shook the room. Silence was all that could be heard. Ximena didn't expect that he would react in such a way and it stunned her.

Ximena stared at Aaron blankly, her eyes filled with a combination of utter confusion and deep despair. After a short while, however, a weird smile crept up on her lips. In a low, almost threatening voice, she said flatly, "What a surprise. I never thought I'd ever hear those words from you. It made me truly feel uneasy." Right after she spoke, Ximena turned away from Aaron, disgusted by the very sight of him.

There would always be things that would be out of an ordinary person's reach. It was something that Ximena was fully aware of. She knew what kind of person she was, so she never dreamt of having things that were beyond her reach. And since she didn't expect anything, she knew that she would never be disappointed.

Taking in a deep breath, Ximena calmed herself down and said inwardly, 'Ximena, bear in mind who you are and lead the life you deserve. Right now, you're no better than a creeper which depends on the tree it coils around for survival. Just earn your living from the most powerful man in the QY Island. There's literally nothing beyond that kind of relationship. Accept that now or suffer the consequences!' Despair was already eating her insides.

Conflicting feelings filled in Aaron's chest as he was looking at Ximena. He knew very well that it was impossible for her to believe him and his words. Who would believe what he said? Would a man like him, a man who had won and controlled every inch of the QY Island through every conceivable way, whether it be good or evil, really want to have a baby with an abject woman from the lowest class?

No one would take him seriously. Actually, he also found the whole thing funny. But above all, he knew that Ximena would never believe any of it. There was no way she would believe him and what he said!

But then... When he saw the sadness in Ximena's eyes, suddenly, he felt his throat close up, creating an uncomfortable suffocating sensation. He saw tears forming in her eyes, but she fought back and suppressed her sadness. 'Why are you feeling this way towards her?' Aaron asked himself, stunned by his own reactions.

"Xime..."

Bang!

Aaron was interrupted as the door was pushed open. With a surprised look, he turned around and saw that it was Zoey. Such a harsh action upset him, causing him furrow his brows, frown, and glare at the girl who just came in. However, Zoey seemed to not notice this and strode into the room haughtily. She walked directly towards Ximena, fuming with anger. The light make-up on her face wasn't doing anything to hide what she was feeling.

Stopping near the bottom of the bed, she disdainfully stared at Ximena, rage in her eyes. Then, she yelled hysterically, "Who do you think you are? And how bold of you to have my brother's baby! You're no better than rubbish!"

"Zoey!" Aaron scolded his half-sister, his tone icy cold, "Shut up!"

"No way!" Zoey retorted at a sharp voice, still glaring at Ximena. But then she took a deep breath, and turned to her half-brother. With great disappointment and sadness in her eyes, she said, "Aaron, you've changed. You're not yourself now. You're not the Aaron that I know. Why Ximena? What's so special about her? Why do you love her more than you loved your exes? And there were so many of them! You even treat this bitch much better than you treat me! Why do you love her so much? Aaron, I am your sister! You've always put me in the first place before you met her!"

After hearing this, Aaron squinted his eyes, as if in deep thought. He could not believe what he just heard. Just as he was about to say something hurtful towards Zoey, he heard Ximena speak softly and without any trace of anger. "I'm tired. I need rest. If you have something to talk about, please leave and talk about it somewhere else."

After stating her piece, she closed her eyes, turned to her side and made it clear that she was about to sleep, paying no attention to the reactions of the two bickering siblings in the room.

"You..." Zoey started. She was about to say something else when she felt Aaron's hands tightly grip her wrist. "Ouch!"
