Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 989

Ximena's good mood had extended to the next morning when she got up after having a long sweet dream, in which her aunt appeared in her life. She yawned and slowly opened her eyes. The morning sunlight came through the floral patterned sheer curtain and sprinkled the room with delicate golden light. After raining heavily during the whole night, it was as if the heavens had smiled upon Ximena and granted her a beautiful day to match her calm and cheerful demeanor.

She stretched her slender limbs lazily in the bed and turned her head to the side only to find that the bed was already empty. Reaching across, she touched the pillow with her hand, and could still feel some warmth there. Unless Aaron was away on a business trip or there had arisen some other exceptional circumstance, they would sleep together in the same bed, now. Even if they had been quarreling, there was no exception. Perhaps it was because unknowingly, neither of them was willing to drive a wedge between their relationship.

Ximena rolled over to Aaron's side of the bed, and a cheeky grin suddenly appeared on her face when she remembered what had happened last night. 'Sometimes it's fun to play tricks on him, ' she thought, as she got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash and groom herself. Once she had dressed, she went to the dining room, had a simple breakfast, and left the manor. She made a stop to "Only Memory" first. Then after quickly organizing today's work for the staff to do, she drove to the suburb where Freya worked as a nanny. Ximena wanted to find a more suitable house to buy for her aunt in that area, which would then be closer to the home where her aunt currently worked. Also, the residential area where her aunt lived was dangerous, and the house was old and run-down.

Shortly after, Ximena arrived at the address and parked the car out the front of a western-style house where Freya was working. While remaining in the driver's seat, Ximena glanced out of the car window and noticed the same man that she had seen in the house yesterday, carrying a garbage bag to the dumpster bin.

All of a sudden Ximena shuddered and got a chill up her spine, she frowned for a brief moment but didn't think anything of it and then proceeded to get out of the car striding over to him. "Excuse me," she said. The man turned and looked at her in surprise. "I have a question to ask you. Is my... is Freya here?"

"She didn't come in today," the man answered, shrugging. Then he furrowed his brows in confusion, and asked, "Who are you?" It seemed that he was puzzled by the situation and found it unusual that somebody could be looking for Freya. He mumbled, "I've never heard Freya mention that she had a friend or relative on QY Island."

"She...do you know why she didn't come here today?" Ximena asked, with a feeling of dread in the pit of her stomach. While she waited for the man to answer, her heart was in her throat, and her beautiful almond eyes stared at him, wide-eyed for fear of missing any expression on his face.

However, the man just shook his head and said, "I don't know what has happened to her.

It's never happened before since she began to work for our family. Also, she has no contact information, so we're not able to get in touch with her..."
