Chapter 195 My heart skipped a beat as I was scared stiff under Aaronâs watchful gaze, shing in my boots. His out of the blue question seared me out of my was The feeling of being caught palpitated my figure as I was shunned, unable to inter a single word in response.
The deafening silence suffocated me as Aaron squinted his nose and spoke seriously.
âOne should be blind to work so hard for my little sister. She isnât that pretty hura âAaron!â
Sienna didnât pay any heed to my opinion about the relationship as if she couldnât understand my point and charged at her brother.
âJust wait for me to go home. I will complain to dad about your mean remark You are so evil, Aaron!â
She threatened Aaron with her dadâs affection, simply diverting the conversation. Her warning made Aaron giggle, he countered her attack.
âDonât worry, I will tell mom that you canât shut your mouth despite being engaged. She will teach you some basic manners to behave respectfully in publicâ
Their cheerful banter was a glimpse of a soundly connected family, where parents were actively involved in their childrenâs lives.
It wasnât strange that they had picked a boy for Sienna without giving her a chance to connect with him emotionally.
Now, I realized that she was young, naïve, and a carefree girl, not so serious about the significant development of her life. One could easily say that she was also a victim of a political alliance.
The elders of prestigious families were used to arrange marriages for their descendants, ensuring the safe flow of money and safety of the assets through their partnerships. Business and marriages werenât separated whatsoever.
As a woman with some experience in practical life, it felt like my duty to advise her, but her lively demeanor didnât allow me to do so. I couldnât bear to plop the bubble of her happiness. Sienna was an innocent girl, enjoying her youthful years. It would be so cruel to point out that heartless dealing behind her engagement.
Just as Aaron defeated Sienna in arguments, he turned to look at me and offered generously.
âThanks for putting up with our nonsense, Laura. We can be a bit unpredictable. What about if we have a nice meal together?
Obviously, not with Sienna. She will go back homeâ
I was thinking about scolding him for annoying his sister when my cell phone rang, making me aware of my own lifeâs issues.
The number of my butler flashing on the screen was enough for me to remember that it was getting late âExcuse me! I have to take this callâ
Hurriedly apologizing, I attended the call where Mr. Frank had prepared a list to give me a mini heart attack.
âMiss Laura, Jane, and Zoe didnât go to the ice hockey practice. They have kept playing with Mr. Bright throughout the day.
He didnât rest even for a minuteâ
As his complaints were related to my fiancéâs wellâbeing, I decided to reprimand my mischievous little angels. They had taken Brightâs sickness as a family holiday, although I told them a fake story about his accident at work.
The hurry to go back took over my mind as I disconnected the call with an order.
âPlease inform them I will be home in half an hourâ And went to say goodbye to Sienna and Aaron.
âI would love to spend some more time with you guys, but I gotta run. Thereâs a family emergency. I hope you wonât mindâ
Thanking them for their offer, I turned to leave, rushing towards the exit door of the mall when I heard Aaron speaking from behind.
âLetâs meet some other day, Miss Lauraâ
