Aaron shrugged and chuckled. "But I''ve changed!"


    Corinne gave him a sharp look and said, "Yeah, right. Do you expect me to believe that? You do know that a leopard never changes its spot, right?"


    After that, she turned to look at Annie and asked gently, "Is Aaron ckmailing you or something?"


    ''Is this what the boss really thinks of me? That the only reason Annie is marrying me is because I''ve ckmailed her?'' thought Aaron with his hand to his forehead.


    Annie''s lips twitched with embarrassment. She then awkwardly said, "No, Corinne... I''m marrying him out of my own free will."


    Corinne frowned. "But why did you agree to marry him so quickly? Have you forgotten how he treated you in the past?"


    Annie blushed. "He... He said he was serious about me, and I want to try to believe him just this one time."


    Corinne was somewhat concerned and said, "You should be cautious. It is fine to date, and I wouldn''t worry then. But when ites to marriage, it''s better to think it through carefully!" Annie stared at her nkly.


    Aaron was really afraid that the wife he finally got back would be persuaded to leave by Corinne again, so he hurriedly moved closer and sat between the two women.


    "You see, Boss. I was right not to discuss it with you beforehand. I knew you''d try to scare Annie away again!" said Aaron.


    Corinne looked at him with disdain. "Didn''t you say you were against marriage? Are you now certain that you''re tomit to only one woman for the rest of your life? I don''t care about other girls, but Annie definitely isn''t someone you can just fool around with! Marriage is no child''s y!"


    Aaron smiled and exined, "Boss, can we stop bringing up my past? Who doesn''t have a history? In the past, I thought I''d never fall in love with any woman in this lifetime, so I valued my freedom and had no intention of getting married. Now, I have realized that I am not as carefree as I once thought. I''vepletely fallen for Annie. I''m willing to rein myself in for her, ept the constraints of marriage, and take responsibility for her. In short, I''ve already made up my mind."


    Corinne looked at Aaron skeptically. "What if you let down Annie one day?"


    Aaron did not want to make any vows. He had made too many empty promises in the past, which were meaningless and only tainted his feelings for Annie.


    After some thought, he said, "Should that kind of situation really ur, you and Xante can find someone to castrate me!"


    All three women in the living room-Corinne, Xante, and Annie-were speechless.Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Sunny pulled Xante over to him and said to Aaron, "Hey! Don''t include Xante in that kind of talk, okay? I don''t want her to be connected with the lower body of another man!"


    Xante was once again speechless.


    Aaron nced at Sunny, then looked at Corinne very seriously. "Boss, I''m really serious this time. Plus, I''m not stupid enough to mess with Annie since she''s your niece-inw! I''m pretty sure you''ll stab me with a knife if I do that."


    Corinne scoffed coldly. "Oh, please. You can drop the act. You wouldn''t have gotten registered without telling me first if you''re really scared of me!"
