Chapter 928
Because it’s impossible to open a business without a ceremony–at least, that was the answer he gave Kiera.
Aside from that, he went on and on about how setting off fireworks during an opening was auspicious. He even claimed that since Keira believed in Buddhism, she should understand that there was a certain mysticism in the world.
It was the first time Keira realized how persuasive he could be. He was insistent, and she couldn’t keep arguing against it. However, she made it clear that it wouldn’t be a grand affair -just a few close friends.
Thanks to a blogger’s promotion, her little courtyard became popular before it even officially opened. Visitors came in an endless stream every day, and weekends were especially crowded.
With all this activity, Keira hadn’t had time to visit Lena. Lena came to see her instead, but it was obvious she had something on her mind.
Keira made her a cup of coffee and carefully crafted a pretty cloud–shaped latte art.
“Here, your exclusive special,” she said with a smile.
“Wow, your skills have improved a lot lately,” Lena exclaimed.
“It’s not just good–looking; it’s delicious too,” Keira replied, grinning. Her feelings toward making coffee had gone beyond liking–it was love now.
Lena studied Keira closely. “Lil‘ Rea, you’ve got this glow about you now. You seem so full of energy and life.”
Honestly, Keira had noticed it too herself. It felt like her whole body was brimming with strength, and every day she woke up with something to look forward to.
“What about your glow?” Keira asked her.
“Glow? I’d be lucky if my whole family doesn’t collapse,” she muttered, then told her about Aaron searching for his biological parents.
Keira was taken aback. “Why is he suddenly looking for his birth parents?”
“He said they gave him life, and once he finds them, he’ll repay them in one go and owe them nothing anymore.” Lena’s face was clouded with worry.
“Does
your mom or your grandparents know about this?” Keira asked. She knew how much the Ace family cared about Aaron.
She shook her head lightly. “He only told me.‘
Keira brought over some dessert and set it in front of her. “Is he hoping you’ll help him figure out what to do?”

“No. He wasn’t even planning to tell me; I had to press him when I noticed something was off,” she said, popping a cherry from the cake into her mouth.
Keira thought for a moment. “If he just wants to repay the favor of being born, then let him. Once he finds them, he can give them some money and explain everything clearly.”
“It’s not that simple,” Lena said, twirling the cherry stem between her fingers. “He wants to make a public statement.”
“If he does that, everyone will know Aaron isn’t actually part of the Ace family. My grandparents are old; they won’t be able to handle it. My mom? Don’t even get me started,” she said, clearly dreading the fallout.
Keira frowned slightly. “Aaron isn’t someone who acts without thought. He wouldn’t make a rash decision like this without considering the consequences.”
“That’s what I told him too. I laid out all the potential risks, and do you know what he said?” Lena tossed the cherry stem onto the table. “He said I’d better be there that day, ready with a first aid kit.”
