Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 984

Ximena looked at Freya doubtfully, but she still replied, "I'm 26 now."

Freya frowned slightly, glued her attention on Ximena, and whispered something under her breath. After a few seconds, Ximena saw growing doubts emerge in Freya's eyes.

She held her breath, looked right into Freya's eyes and asked earnestly, "What's the matter?" She had seriously investigated everything about Freya. It turned out that she was her mother's half-sister, and before that particular incident, they had a really good relationship with each other.

As Freya silently observed Ximena's face, her vision became blurred due to the thin layer of mist that was covering her eyes, while her hands trembled, making it difficult to hold the chopsticks. She looked up and down excitedly at Ximena for a while before saying in a trembling tone, "You… you are…" After a pause, a strange emotion flickered in her eyes, but soon vanished. She finally asked, "Are you really my sister's daughter?"

Ximena nodded and she felt her nose tickle. After she saw Freya's excited expression, her earlier doubts about Freya's reaction completely disappeared. She smiled faintly, but tears ran down her cheeks. After she had struggled desperately for so many years, believing that she was an orphan, it turned out that she still had a living relative in the world.

Aaron stood in front of his office window with his hands in his pants pocket, looking at the dark, gloomy weather outside.

It was still raining and the dark rainy night was depressing to watch. Gradually, the street lamps were turned on one by one. Yet, Aaron felt that the shadows of passersby under the light were lonely, just as he was. The car lights converged into a beautiful flowing light under the misty rain, but no amount of pretty lights could extinguish the darkness hidden in the depths of men's hearts.

On his desk was a thick pile of files. Under the warm light, the first page of the file on top was alone visible; it was a small picture. None other than Freya's.

"Your Highness, this is the information which Miss Mo had asked me to investigate about," the private detective said as he put a thick pile of papers in front of Aaron. "I've removed all the information which shouldn't be given to her."

Although Ken had asked him to carry out the investigation on Ximena's orders, he still had a strong feeling that it was only appropriate to report the investigation directly to Aaron. He wanted to run his business in QY Island peacefully. And sure enough, he had done the right thing.

"Is there anything important in there?" Aaron cast a glance at the thick pile and asked flatly.

The private detective looked a little embarrassed. He didn't know how to answer his question properly. He said hesitantly, "Yes, there is something…" The corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably. Looking at Aaron's dark eyes, he immediately felt that he missed at least two heartbeats inexplicably. It was like an invisible force that was stopping him from breathing normally. "Well… It…" he stuttered and gulped nervously, "Your Highness, you… Would you like to check it yourself?"

With his eyes growing deep and dark, Aaron raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "You may leave."

"Thank you!" the private detective said quickly. He then stumbled out of the office like he had just been pardoned of a crime. When he finally closed the door that separated him from Aaron, his heartbeat and breath became normal again. After taking a deep breath, he gulped and looked back at the closed door.

He quickly strode towards the elevator and murmured to himself in a hardly audible voice, "Why is this so complicated and winding? Those stories about his woman are so complicated that they could write a drama novel with all that material." He shook his head and pressed the elevator button for the first floor.
