Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 950

Seeing that she was very happy with Aaron, James could not help but laugh at himself secretly. When the two of them had been in love several years ago, he had found that she had more or less expected something else aside from being loved by him, which she had probably not realized by herself. Now seeing how she looked, he thought that perhaps her affection for Aaron had turned out to be more than her affection for him.

"I'm going to fly to France this evening," James said in an indifferent voice, taking a slight glance at the bracelet around Ximena's wrist, which was made by the jade seal of the Leng Family. "You can go and visit me if you have a chance to go there in the future."

Trying to ease the awkwardness that she felt inside, Ximena didn't respond to him right away. Holding the cup of coffee between the palms of both her hands, she had a complicated expression on her face, which betrayed the variety of emotions she was feeling right now. It was not until quite a while later that she opened her mouth, "Sorry..." she said with her sincerest voice.

"It's I who should say sorry!" with his head bowed low, James interrupted her. A faint smile appeared at the corners of his mouth. Seeing that Ximena looked sad, he added slowly, "I'm very happy to see that you are able to realize your dreams now. I mean it!"

"Thank you, James!" Feeling a little at ease now, Ximena sighed slightly and continued, "There are many things that I couldn't understand until recently. When you enter a vicious cycle in life, sometimes there are problems that you think you are not able to walk out, only to realize in the end that you don't really want to walk out of it."

While hearing what she said, James wore a faint smile at the corners of his mouth. However, at the same time, there was a tinge of sadness deep in his eyes, which could not be hidden. 'Ximena, go ahead and grasp your happiness tightly in your hand. Brother Aaron will treat you very well, ' he thought to himself.

Times went at its usual pace as the two of them chatted. Ximena had been restrained at first, but gradually she had been relieved, and a smile of comfort played at the corners of her mouth. Seeing her genuine happiness, James thought, 'Leave the memory between us to me. What I can take is only my memory of the past. Forget about me. You will have a happy life in the future.'

In the end, what James left to Ximena was only one word— "family".

He didn't bother to make it clear to her, because he believed that Ximena was wise enough to understand what he meant. Then they bid each other goodbye and exchanged contented smiles as they parted ways. Forgiveness was such a liberating act that it made two people's heart so light after letting go of all the burdens they had been carrying with them all along.

Standing in front of the door of the cafe, Ximena was waiting for a taxi. She wondered whether she should learn how to drive and get a driving license. At the same time, she thought about the word James had said to her in the end before they had said goodbye to each other.

"Family? !"

She mumbled to herself. Before she was able to ponder it out, a taxi stopped by her side and she got on it.

"Where are you going, young lady?" the taxi driver asked.

"Go to 'Only Memory'," Ximena answered abruptly. "Only Memory" was the name of her fashion design shop.
