Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 948

After going through everything she had gone through her life, Ximena could say that sometimes it was quite easy to be happy. In her case, she felt happy as long as she wasn't greedy enough to attempt to possess everything as she went through the journey of pursuing her dream. Every time she had a feeling that she was happy and contented for today, she would not think about whether she would fall into the abyss tomorrow or whatever it would bring her. She was a woman that took everything one day at a time. Throughout her entire life, she learned that nobody was able to predict what would happen in the future, so she thought it was silly to suffer from imaginary fears. Worst was letting yourself be enveloped by the fear of unknowns.

Today, with the sun shining bright and the air gently blowing a chilly breeze, Ximena was holding a cup of coffee in her hand. She wore a smile of comfort at the corners of her mouth, while her heart was overflowing with bliss and contentment. Savoring the ease and comfort she was experiencing now, she could say that she was quite satisfied with her life now and couldn't ask for more. Especially now that she had her own fashion design shop where she could showcase her talent and love on crafting magnificent gowns and dresses. Moreover, Aaron always tried his best to take time out of his busy schedule to have meals together with her and her loneliness at night was abated by his presence. No more cold and lonely night with Ximena for Aaron was always with her to warm and comfort her on the chilly and lonesome nights. Being a simple woman as she was, Ximena had just such simple principles in life that even if tomorrow she would lose all that she had now, at least she had the chance to enjoy them at the moment.

"Ximena," an intern came upstairs to call her attention, "Mr. Ted Leng has come."

Surprised to hear that, Ximena frowned slightly. She was bothered as to what caused Ted to pay a visit. Then she put the cup of coffee on the table, turned around and went downstairs. Standing on the base of the stairs, she looked at Ted, who was in a royal blue suit and both his hands were hidden in his trouser pockets. Ximena paused and hesitated for a moment, but with a sudden change of mind, she went on and walked towards Ted in an apathetic manner.

As she was approaching him, Ted turned around slowly to face her. Seeing that Ximena looked totally different from the one he had seen when he had met her for the first time at his father's birthday party, a smile played at the corners of his mouth slowly. "Is it because you have stayed by Aaron's side for quite a long time that you look so extremely arrogant, the same as him?" Ted greeted her with an annoying grin.

Hearing his sarcastic tone, Ximena could not help but show the whites of her eyes to Ted. Crossing her arms over her chest, she asked straightforward, "Did you come for customized clothes or for any private reason?"

"Private!" quick and short, Ted answered, raising his eyebrows. By accident, he saw the bracelet that she was wearing around her wrist. He frowned slightly at first but soon smiled in relief.

Looking at the smile on Ted's face, Ximena felt dreamy for a moment, as if she saw James. As identical twins, Ted and James looked very alike. The only difference they had was in their dispositions. Thus, by just merely looking at them, it was almost impossible to distinguish one from the other by appearance or even voice. Of course, it was no longer necessary for Ximena to distinguish one of them from the other now since James would never stand up in front of her for his lifetime.
