Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 956

"Men are contemptible. They don't know good from bad," she uttered every word through clenched teeth. Then turned around, without looking at Aaron any longer.

After taking a moment to think about what Vivi had said, Zoey nodded and echoed,"Sure enough... When a woman was always obedient to him, he would view her as dull and boring. However, when he came across that woman who was born to rebel, he felt curious about her and naturally liked her." With a hint of bitterness in her eyes, she continued,"I'll wait and see just how long she will remain arrogant when my older brother has finally been tired of her type..."

Upon hearing that, Vivi glanced at Zoey and then at Aaron and Ximena, who were in the rest area. Ximena was eating in a very elegant manner. Nobody except for her acquaintances would ever have imagined that she had lived such a humble life before.

Now she not only enjoyed living in Aarons' halo but, had also earned her own fame in QY Island. How could such a woman stay by Aaron's side?

Vivi wondered if Zoey was right by saying that Aaron would only be interested in a woman who defied him.

While she pondered on that thought, she noticed somebody come to Aaron. He then said a few words to Ximena and shortly after, left with that person. Vivi's gaze followed Aaron as he left the banquet hall with that person, and then she looked back at Ximena. She saw that Ximena was still eating in a leisurely manner, looking casual, yet arrogant.

"Let's sit there," Vivi said to Zoey. Then she placed some hors d' oeuvres onto a plate and walked towards the rest area.

Zoey followed her after she had placed some food onto a plate as well and headed towards the rest area. However, before the two of them reached there, they saw a middle-aged man in a dark gray suit approach Ximena and then he sat down opposite her. It appeared that Ximena didn't know who he was since she looked at him in confusion.

"Let's sit next to her," Zoey said, raising her eyebrows. Then the two women went to sit at the table close to Ximena without being noticed by her.

The backrest of the sofa was high enough to hide behind without being detected. They couldn't see whom the man was that was sitting opposite Ximena, just like Ximena couldn't see them either, but they could still hear the conversation between Ximena and the man.

"Excuse me. Who are you?" Ximena asked. Since she had recently opened a fashion design shop, potential clients would come to her for customized tailoring. Therefore, she couldn't refuse to interact with anybody when she didn't know their purpose of coming to her. Even though she had never taken any order outside her shop and usually, when she left her shop, it would become her own private time.

The man observed Ximena's beautiful face with his sharp eyes. Looking at her standard almond eyes, an oval face, aquiline nose, and an attractive mouth with a thinner upper lip and thicker bottom lip, he said,"You look very much like your mother."

When Ximena heard what the man had said her face froze in an instant. It was like a bolt from the blue, and she was struck dumb, not knowing how to respond to him. After quite a while, she managed to squeeze out a few words,"You... know my mother?"

The man nodded and said with a smile,"I don't only know her, but also know her very well." 'I know everything about your parents, ' the man thought.

Hearing what the man had said, Ximena had become short of breath. She stared at him with eyes as wide as saucers and unblinking, she asked,"She, she..." Perhaps it was because she was excited or maybe because she was afraid that she was having trouble speaking fluently at this moment. "Is she well?" she uttered, only three words in the end.
