Chapter 1237


    “Nope. She’s always been like this. She’s usually very even-tempered, but once she gets going? Whoo


    baby, you wouldn’t want to be near her when that happens. I mean, that’s why I’m hiding in here with


    you too,” said Aaron.


    “Oh…alright.” Annie could not help but worry about Corinne.

    Aaron put his hands on Annie’s shoulders, guided her to the bed, and pressed her down to sit.


    “I have no hidden agenda for bringing you into my room. It’s just that I only have one-third ownership of


    this apartment. The rest of the rooms are either Xante’s or the boss’ territory, so I can’t bring you there


    without their permission. Otherwise, they’d beat me up,” exined Aaron.


    At first, Annie was scared to sit on his bed, but she felt a little better after his exnation, so she


    remained seated.


    She had always known Aaron lived with Xante, but this was the first time she learned Corinne stayed in


    the same ce as well.


    Generally, a woman would need more space than a man since they needed to store their clothes,


    essories, makeup, and many other things. A man could usually fit all the things he needed into one


    bedroom.


    Being a woman herself, Annie found it understandable that Xante and Corinne would not want others to


    go into their rooms without permission.


    Aaron helped Annie open her Coke bottle before passing it back to her. “Just chill. I’m not going to do


    anything to you.”


    Annie gradually rxed. She was not really worried that Aaron would do anything to her; she just did


    not want to embarrass herself in front of him.


    Not knowing what to say, she drank her drink.


    Aaron sat some distance away from her and drank his beer. “Why did you follow us here if you didn’t


    want to see me?”


    Annie allowed the taste of her drink to roll in her mouth a little before answering, “I want Corinne to


    keep being my aunt. I came to persuade her to stay with Uncle Jeremy.”


    Aaron smiled. “You really like her that much, huh?”


    Annie looked seriously at him. “Of course! Don’t you? I mean, she’s the kindest person I’ve ever met…”


    Aaron’s smile deepened. “Of course, I like her too. But she’s not going to be your aunt anymore.”


    “Why not?” asked Annie in frustration. “Doesn’t she love Uncle Jeremy anymore? They seemed so


    happy together, though.”


    Aaron shrugged. “As happy as they were together, they’re just something that one partner cannot


    forgive the other for doing. I know her the best, so believe me when I say they’re never going to get


    back together.”


    Annie did not understand where he wasing from. “What are you talking about? What did Uncle


    Jeremy do that made Corinne refuse to get back with him?”


    Aaron did not feel like it was his ce to tell her things about Corinne, so he smiled and tried to change


    the topic. “In any case, she’s not going to your aunt anymore. If you want to see her, you can be my


    girlfriend. You’ll be able to see her every day! Of course, you have to call her what I call her, and that is


    ‘Boss’.”


    Annie looked at him in shock, and she then blushed. “Mister Aaron, I wish you’d stop joking like this.


    Otherwise, I’m…”


    “What are you going to do? p me again?” said Aaron with a scoff. “Do you know you’re the only


    person who dares to p me? Everyone knows the boss will twist off the head of anyone who dares to


    hit me!”


    Annie blushed even more. “Why do you call her ‘Boss’, anyway? How did you two meet?”


    “Do you really want to know?”


    “Yeah, I do. Tell me.”


    “Then you be my girlfriend first. We don’t tell outsiders our stories. What do you say?”
