Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 977

Aaron stared at Ximena for quite a long time, without responding to her. His eyes were deep and bottomless. What she had proposed was a gamble that neither of them was sure to win. They were about to gamble for a family. If they won, they would get to live their lives together; if they lost, they would lose everything.

Ximena waited for his response patiently. Both of them understood that it would be extremely difficult for them to start a family. However, both of them were eager for a family of their own. Perhaps in the near future, they would start a family with different people, but in this moment, they only had each other.

"Okay..." Aaron said, without showing any emotion. He gently rotated the wine glass in his hand, making the liquid inside twirl. He raised the glass and took a sip of it. The mellow wine spread throughout his mouth and slowly slid into his throat; it was bitter.

He sneered at himself. 'Aaron, you're more likely to lose this gamble, but you love seeing her bargain with you in such an arrogant manner even though it would be impossible for her to escape in the end.'

Ximena knew what Aaron was thinking. Humans were such strange creatures. Even though they could foresee the outcome, they would sometimes choose to turn a blind eye towards that truth. That was exactly what Ximena was doing right now. Perhaps, she was attempting to benumb herself this way.

Raising her wine glass casually, she said, "This is such a nice set-up. Aren't there any special surprises?" Her eyes shone brightly as she taunted him. She had a sip of the wine, and its soft taste satisfied her. She enjoyed it.

Aaron smirked at her remark and nodded to the manager, who was standing a few meters away from them, waiting for any orders from Aaron. The manager ordered something to the waiter standing next to him. The woman on the piano played the last note of the melody, and got up from the seat.

Aaron walked elegantly towards the piano. He sat down in front of it and glanced at Ximena with his deep-set eyes. He said to her, "I'm afraid that gems and jewelry are not enough to please you anymore." He paused and his sight became increasingly deep. "There is nothing in the whole of QY Island that I'm not able to do for you, but this is something I have never done for anybody," he said with a faint smile at the corners of his lips. "This is Only Because of You..."

A sweet melody arose from the piano as his fingers ran along the keys effortlessly. The silvery prelude sounded a little sorrowful, as if the music was sprouting from the bottom of his heart and penetrating Ximena's.

"I will not make the same mistake we made before, I will not make myself feel so distressed again..."
