Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 929

After being slapped by Vivi abruptly, Ximena was in a really bad mood. With no enthusiasm to work, she dismissed her staff, gave them the rest of the day off, grabbed her bag and turned to leave.

But her body became sluggish as she remembered the scene where Aaron had taken Vivi away from there. The corner of her lips curled into a pitiful smirk. Without her even realizing it, deep sadness crept into her eyes.

Back at the manor, the flowers were in full bloom because it was early spring, and the fragrance, mixed with the air, reached her in waves. She stood under a huge tree which was full of flowers and was lost in her thoughts. A light wind stirred up her long hair, and a shower of petals fell on her shoulders and head.

Another year had slipped by quietly. So many things had happened to her that year, but her memories were so vivid, like they had happened just yesterday.

Mixed emotions took over her as she remembered the things that she had gone through this past year—the pain, the injuries, and the tender, romantic feelings. If she just took a step back, gave up her indifference and pride, and trusted his love for her, could she get the warmth he had promised and also have what he called "home"? She asked herself the question as she stood silently.

Ximena picked up a petal from her shoulder and inadvertently smiled. She had no idea if her smile was full of bitterness from the acceptance of her destiny, knowing that she was just so helpless… Or was she really hoping to find something worth smiling in her future?

The flowers would bloom again when the season changed. So, why did she have to cling to the past and never let it go? In any case, he wouldn't let her go, and... Deep inside, she didn't want to leave either.

"Miss Mo, you are off work early today," a servant greeted her with a smile. Although Ximena seemed arrogant and aloof, the servants at the villa knew that she was kind-hearted, so they all kind of loved her.

Ximena came back to her senses, withdrew her gaze from the falling petals and said, "I was a bit tired."

The servant felt that something was off. She realized that Ximena was in a bad mood, but she had no way of finding out the reason. However, when she saw the red mark on Ximena's face, she was startled and said immediately, "Miss Mo, I'll call the doctor at once."

"There's no need to call the doctor. Please find the medicine box for me. I'll just apply some gel to subside the swelling," Ximena said indifferently, thinking of it as no big deal. She was not in any pain, at least not physically.
