Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 980

"I want to investigate Aaron's whereabouts," Ximena said, raising her eyebrows. "How can I investigate him properly if he were to know about it?" She noticed the muscles in his jaw tighten and continued, "Considering the current situation of our relationship, don't I have the right to find out if he has a secret mistress or not?"

He listened to her quietly while concentrating on the road. However, he was thinking about what Ximena had said. Ken knew clearly that Ximena's purpose of hiring a private detective wasn't to investigate Aaron at all. However, he couldn't discern what it could be that she would need a detective to investigate for her without letting Aaron know about it.

If Ximena tried to find a private detective by herself, Aaron would probably be informed before the investigation even began. However, if it were Ken who was to find the private detective, it would be a totally different story.

"Ximena, you'd best tell me the truth," Ken said with a sigh. "Then I'll think about it."

Ximena couldn't help but glare secretly at him. She had always known that Ken wasn't an easy going person, but she had hoped that he would make an exception for her. However, she was disappointed. "Then forget it!" she said, turning her head to look out of the car window. If Ken chose to tell Aaron about Ximena wanting to hire a private detective, then she would most likely never find out the truth of who the woman was that she had met in the cemetery.

Shortly afterward, the car arrived at the seaside.

Ken and Ximena got out of the car and walked to the small restaurant together. When the elderly couple saw that Ximena was approaching, they grinned from ear to ear and hastily laid out the various dishes they had already made on the table where Aaron was seated. Once that was all done, they prepared some food for Ken at another table.

"Try some," Aaron said, while he picked up a piece of grouper with a pair of chopsticks and placed it onto Ximena's plate. "The uncle caught this red-spotted grouper today. As soon as he got back from the sea, he called me and invited us both to come here for supper."

Ximena felt a little surprised as she looked at the piece of fish in her plate. However, after a short pause, she took her chopsticks and tasted a bit. To her delight, the red-spotted grouper had a lovely velvety texture and tasted fresh and slightly sweet in her mouth. She decided that it was much more delicious than the ordinary leopard coral grouper.

When Aaron saw that Ximena was enjoying the red-spotted grouper very much, a faint smile crept to the corners of his mouth of which he wasn't aware of. He then put some more pieces of the grouper into her plate. He enjoyed watching Ximena eat food; it gave him a kind of pleasure.

Although Aaron hadn't noticed it before, and it wasn't until Mrs. Wang had pointed it out to him that he figured out that Ximena preferred eating fish, whenever there was something related to fish, it seemed that Ximena would eat more.

While having his supper, Ken glanced intermittently across to the table where Aaron and Ximena were sitting. Even though it was his job to keep an eye out and pay close attention to his boss. Ken was also trying to figure out what Ximena wanted to do by hiring a private detective.

"Ken, here is a leopard coral grouper for you," the old woman said while putting a dish of fish in front of Ken. "You work so hard, and you need to have healthy and nutritious meals as well."

"Thank you very much," Ken said with a smile. As he looked at the leopard coral grouper on the plate in front of him, he said, "Let's have the meal together when you finish cooking."
