When Aaron drove her home, Laurel asked the man to drop her off at the end of the street. She was unprepared for Aunt Sarah's later questions when she saw her man, her boss, escorted her in a state she hadn't been home all night. Laurel had never stayed at anyone's house before, let alone stay without saying goodbye. Aunt Sarah must have been waiting for her frantically and worrying about her all night. The thought made her feel guilty. How was she going to explain this incident to Aunt Sarah? Does she have to lie for lies again?
Aaron's car stopped at the end of the road, he looked at Laurel gently. “You really don't want to be driven home?”
Laurel immediately shook her head. “No, thank you. I will try to explain myself to my house-mother.”
“You live in a dorm?” Aaron is of course acting, he just has to ask that, otherwise it would seem weird to Laurel. “Where is your family?”
There was silence for a moment

Brian really came that afternoon. With his dark green sweater and black pants wrapped around his long legs, he looked so handsome. However, Laurel could no longer feel attracted to him. The thought of Brian making out passionately with that woman made Laurel feel sick. That's why she stood some distance from Brian on the dormitory terrace and stared coldly at him.“There's nothing to talk about anymore,” she muttered softly, trying to calm down.Brian, on the other hand, was looking at Laurel with a look of regret. “I'm sorry, Laurel. I know you may feel disgusted by me. At the beginning of the night I asked you to be my lover and said love you, but then you found out I was messing with another woman.” The man ruffled his hair in frustration. “I myself do not know what happened to me, I am also sick and disgusted by myself.”Laurel was silent, did not flinch, even seeing Brian looking so sorry and frustrated did not make her f

Mr. White looked at Laurel who stood in front of him steadily. It was only a few minutes before Laurel walked into the room. She removed the ring from her fingers and placed it on the table in front of him.“I cannot continue this engagement, Mr. White.”Aaron gave Laurel a deep look. There was a deep firmness behind her fragility. The same firmness Aaron felt years ago when the woman threw him violently from her home, knocking his conscience until it hurt. He shouldn't be reckless against Laurel, if he is reckless, she will run away.“Just call me White.” Aaron stared at Laurel deeply. “I think we struck a deal yesterday, Laurel,” muttered Aaron calmly, refusing to look at the ring Laurel had placed in front of him and leaning back in his chair.“Yesterday I was confused.” Laurel hugged herself, as if trying to protect herself. “I've been thinking about it all night and I think this whole thing is a m

You made me the woman my boyfriend cheated in my teens, aborted and tried to kill myself many times?” Aamber got hee hands on hwr hips in front of Aaron. “Great, brother, and after this, Laurel will be looking at me with secret pity.”Aaron smiled at his younger sister's anger, then looked at her gently with a smile. That little sister could never be mad at him for too long if he looked at hwr like that.“I'm sorry, Am, I had to make up a hoax like that. However, I ran out of ideas and that was all I could think of. I know Laurel has a great sense of empathy and she would accept me if I did it for my sister. A girl like her.”“You are good at lying in a tight spot.” Aamber narrowed her eyes, still not forgiving her brother for making up a story about her to melt Laurel's heart. “And I guess you made it?”Aaron smiled. “She accepted the ring again and considered my marriage proposal.

She half shrieked and stared angrily at the gripper of her arm, Brian, who was standing by her.“Get off of me, Brian, you are so rude.” Lyn smiled trying to appear calm.Brian gave Lyn a long stare, then finally let go of his grip. Lyn sarcastically rubbed her arm, which had turned red from Brian's grip.“It will be bruised. What made you come to me and suddenly act this rude?” her gaze turned seductive. “Do you want to continue the one that was delayed at that time?”Brian snorted in annoyance. “Stop it, Lyn, I know for sure you're not interested in me. I used to chase you and you totally rejected me!” his gaze turned sharp again, intimidating. “Why did you seduce me that night?”Lyn glanced up and smiled. “Maybe it's because I'm in the mood to change my mind.” She purposely blinked annoyingly.

To get married quickly, Aaron needed Mike's help. He walked up to Mike in his office.“What? Wedding?” Mike was very surprised. Moreover, he had never heard of Aaron being close to anyone before. “Don't tell me that you fell into the trap of a sneaky woman pretending to be pregnant!”Aaron chuckled. “You could say that I framed my prospective bride.” He looked at Mike seriously, knowing that his friend wouldn't ask many questions unless he explained it. “I need your help to make it run perfectly.”“I can take care of it. You can stay at my hotel there and for weddings, you can call this number. He was the one who took care of my marriage with Lia.

The flight was not long, it took only two and a half hours and they were there. Aaron guided Laurel through the airport corridors, toward the exit. A well-dressed driver seemed to be waiting and led them to the shiny black car that had been prepared. The journey itself is short; suddenly they arrived at the main road, then stopped at a hotel full of elegant lights, leaving Laurel in awe. Even though she restrained herself from looking embarrassing in front of Aaron. The man took her hand affectionately and led her to the president suite on the top floor of the hotel. It seems the staff at this hotel have been waiting for them and prepared everything for them. Thanks to Mike on this. This hotel is one of the big hotels owned by the man. Mike had everything prepared for them just as he promised. Laurel frowned when they got the same room. She held Aaron at the door. “We share a room?” Aaron shrugged his shoulders. “We're getting married tomorrow at ten

The wedding day that had come so fast she could not even think about it, making her stomach churn with anxiety.Laurel and Aaron took turns showering, then ate the food delivered to the room.

“Now we can sleep in the same bed.” Aaron took off his tie and slung it over the chair, and looked at the nervous Laurel with a gentle smile. “That is, if you don't mind.” Aaron was really nice to say. Maybe another man will immediately force her to sleep in the same bed. Because they were husband and wife, and Laurel couldn't argue with that. However, he still asked her objection. That means he respects her opinion as a wife. Seeing that Laurel was silent, Aaron stood doubtful and offered, “Maybe I'll just sleep on the sofa again, if you're not ready.” The man was about to walk away, but Laurel held him back by tugging at the sleeve of his shirt. “Wait, Aaron.” Aaron stopped at once, glanced at Laurel's trembling fingers gripping his sleeve, causing her to nervously release her grip. She took a step back and looked at Aaron embarrassedly. “I won't throw you out of your bed again.” “So you're the one sleeping on the sofa?”
