Hearing Aaron's words, Rita turned her face to look out of the window. "No, you don't need to tell me."
His wife was more arrogant than him.
"You say no need. Don't regret it." Aaron was cutting the steak in his plate slowly.
His wife wondered why another man didn't confess his affection to her. Aaron felt that there must be something wrong with Rita's head.
Rita's curiosity was totally aroused by his silence. Although she had no relationship with Magee now, gossip was the human's instinct. How could she not gossip about this?
Wait! Wasn't it a little weird when she asked her husband why the other man didn't like her?
It was more than a little weird. It was not a normal to have that thought.
However, she felt like there was a cat claw scratching in her heart, which was extremely itchy and unbearable. She felt really uncomfortable if she didn't get the answer.
She was curious about the gossip and felt restless. She wanted to beg Aaron for help, but she was unwilling to do so. If she refused to beg him, she wanted to know the truth most eagerly.
She was putting herself in a dilemma.
Aaron finally gave up to tease her. "Alright, I'll tell you the reason with my kindness."
She nodded and got closer to him with her bright eyes, full of curiosity.
"Well it did have something to do with my mother-in-law. That is also your mom."
After a pause, he didn't forget to make fun of her. "My wife is so beautiful, and my mother-in-law was surely beautiful when she was young, right? The father of Magee Jiang—Mark was coveting your mother, and Magee's mother held the same attitude towards your mother just like my mom did. Now you know why Magee dared not to confess his love to you for so many years, right?"
Aaron added after a pause, "To be honest, he is a loser. Look at me. No matter who objects, I would marry you."
In fact, Rita had more or less guessed that Magee's mother said that day that her mother was a vixen, same as the words of Selena. Magee didn't have the courage to tell her his love because of the grudge between the last generation.
All of a sudden, she stared at Aaron deeply. He somehow stood in the same position just as Magee, but Aaron chose to protect her and love her desperately.
He was more courageous than Magee.
"Why are you looking at me like this? Are you enchanted by my handsome face?" He smiled playfully and rubbed her nose with his hand.
"Well," all her attention was focused on Aaron, "is there anyone in the world who treats me better than you?"
"No,"
Aaron answered straightforwardly and continued to jeer at her, "For nobody is more blind than me."
