Chapter 1143

Back in the house.

Annie looked in the mirror after washing her face in the bathroom. She felt a deep sense of self-

loathing when she stared at her smudged makeup.

She felt as though no man would ever love her.

She foolishly thought she was the happiest woman in the world when she almost got married, but her

groom had a quickie with another woman inside a storeroom right before the wedding. After he had

been exposed, he showed no sign of regret and even threatened to leak her nudes.

It was Jeremy and Corinne who helped her deal with him. Had it not been for the intimidating fact that

Jeremy was her uncle, all the guests would have laughed at her.

Then, she fell ignorantly in love with Aaron despite Corinne’s repeated warnings and reminders. She

stubbornly set out to win his heart, thinking she was special enough to make Aaron change his

ways.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

In the end, she made a fool of herself. It was no surprise that Francine would chastise her like that.

After all, who would buy contraception for their crush to use with another woman?

The knocks on the bathroom door snapped Annie back to her senses. Thinking someone wanted to

use the bathroom, she decided not to hog the place to herself. She wiped her face with a tissue before

opening the door.

As soon as the door opened, she saw Aaron standing at the door. He looked poignantly at her.

Annie said embarrassedly, “I just finished using the toilet. It’s your turn!”

She lowered her head and walked out of the restroom. However, Aaron dragged her back into the

bathroom before she even managed to step out.

Aaron then closed the bathroom door and locked it.

Annie reeled from the shock. “Mister Aaron?”

Aaron’s cool fingers rubbed her tears away gently. “Your makeup is smudged. Did you cry?”

Annie looked away a little. “No. I washed my face.”

That was one of the few times that Aaron had an apologetic expression. “I’m sorry that everyone looks

negatively at you because of me.”

Annie was startled. She did not expect Aaron to apologize to her. It took her a while to snap out of her

confusion. “No, I thought too highly of myself. My existence is a joke, anyway. It has always been like

that since my wedding failed.”

Aaron’s expression soured. “Who says your existence is a joke?”

Annie continued to remind herself not to overthink things and read too much into how he was acting

toward her. “I know you don’t have feelings for me. There’s nothing wrong with you rejecting me in that

sort of tactful manner. I don’t blame you at all.”

Aaron stared silently at her before taking out a few small square foil packets from his pocket.

Annie looked at what Aaron was holding and blushed. Those were the condoms she helped Aaron to

buy! ‘Why did he take them out and show them to me?’
