Jenny frowned. “Annie, we might not know Aaron very well, but isn’t he your boyfriend?”


    Annie rolled her eyes. She was so angry that she could have passed out there and then. “When did I


    say he’s my boyfriend? Can you two please stop jumping to conclusions like that?” Upon hearing this,


    Edward put down the kitchen knife he was holding.” Annie, are you saying Aaron isn’t your boyfriend?


    Then why does he always help our family with business?”


    Stunned, Annie did not know how to answer her father. “He…” ‘So he really did help out with the


    family’s business…?’ she thought.


    Last time Aaron kept nagging her to invite him home. She tried to get rid of him but could not, so she


    finally brought him home.


    Aaron was the type of guy who could make friends wherever he went. As soon as he arrived at Annie’s


    house, he immediately got her parents to open up to him. He also took the opportunity to chat about


    business matters.


    At the same time, he made sure to pay attention to Annie, doing little things like handing her tissues,


    helping her wipe her mouth, and other actions that could easily mislead others to think he was her


    boyfriend.


    However, after he left, Annie made it clear to her parents that she and Aaron were just friends. In fact,


    they were not even really friends. It would be more urate to say Aaron was her former boss, and


    nothing more.


    She thought that would be the end of it, so she was understandably upset to find Aaron in her house


    while she was out.


    Edward wiped his hands and walked over to his daughter. “Annie, why aren’t you saying anything? If


    Aaron isn’t your boyfriend, why would he help our family so much without asking for anything in


    return?”


    Annie was a little upset. She felt that she owed Aaron. “Dad, how exactly did he help our family?” “Well,


    he…” “Mister Edward, I’m just doing what every kid would do for their parents. Please don’t feel like


    you owe me. Plus, it’s better to give the business to someone I trust than to hire otherpanies to do


    half hearted work,” said Aaron, walking in with the peeled cloves of garlic.


    He then added with a smile, “Miss Jenny, I finished peeling the cloves of garlic you’ve asked for. Is


    there anything else you need my help with?”


    Jenny epted the bowl of peeled garlic with both hands. “Nope! You and Annie should just hang out


    in the living room. Well let you know once dinner is ready.”


    Edward was also looking at Aaron with eyes full of admiration and affection.

    Out of the Levines, only Annie looked like she was having a headache.


    “Okay! Don’t mind if I do then, Miss Jenny,” said Aaron with a smile.


    Jenny smiled and nodded. “Go ahead!”


    Aaron turned to look at Annie. “Shall we go to the living room, Annie?”


    Annie’s lips twitched. She helplessly turned and walked to the living room with Aaron following behind


    her smilingly.


    After they left, Edward looked at Jenny with slight confusion. “Aaron is certainly a really good kid, but


    why did Annie say that he isn’t her boyfriend?


    Jenny waved her hands. “They’re probably just having a lover’s tiff. You should know your daughter’s


    temper very well. She must be very upset about something he said or did. We shouldn’t meddle in their


    business. Let’s get back to cooking. They’re still waiting for dinner.”


    Edward found what Jenny said made sense, so he picked up the kitchen knife again to resume


    chopping up the vegetables.
