101. Rose's Silent Decision

With weakened steps, Rose walked out of the restaurant without even glancing back. Once she neared the lobby, she straightened her posture. She quickly put on the most casual expression she could manage, as if nothing had happened. When her eyes met Aaron’s, Rose forced herself to smile.“Sorry for making you wait so long, sir,” Rose said.“It’s fine. It wasn’t that long anyway.” Aaron glanced at his watch; barely fifteen minutes had passed.“Shall we head to the office now?”A slight frown formed on Aaron’s forehead. Something felt off. Rose’s responses were too short, and her demeanor was strangely unusual. Had she and Romilda already finished talking?Still, Aaron just nodded, and the two of them walked out of the hotel. Throughout the trip back to the office, Aaron held himself back from asking what actually happened between Rose and Romilda. Instead, he kept stealing glances at her, observing the calm façade she put on.But storms usually come when everything is too quiet. And Aa

102. Chasing Rose

With confident steps, Aaron entered the office. The receptionist in the lobby informed him that Matteo Cavanaugh was already waiting in the meeting room. In his heart, Aaron muttered that Matteo was extremely persistent. It was certainly not a business matter. Matteo wanted to know about Rose. And Aaron absolutely would not allow access to that.As he entered the meeting room, Aaron finally got a clear look at Matteo. Aaron had to admit that Matteo was indeed charismatic, the kind of fine gentleman one would expect. However, to Aaron, Matteo was not better than him.“Mr. Aaron.” Matteo stood and offered a diplomatic smile.Ah, no wonder Rose fell in love with this man, Aaron thought.Aaron reached out his hand. “Mr. Matteo. Pleasure.”The two sat facing each other, wrapped in a brief silence. Matteo had come alone, though he should have brought an assistant. Aaron’s suspicion grew stronger. Matteo definitely wanted to investigate Rose.Should Aaron just speak plainly and tell him tha

103. A Kiss That Change Everything

“Mr. Aaron…” Rose gasped.Before Rose could continue speaking, Aaron did something completely unexpected. He leaned in and kissed her on the lips passionately. The kiss was brief but deep and filled with affection.Rose froze in place, confused, and fear hit her. It had never once crossed her mind that Aaron could possibly love her. All this time, Aaron had never shown excessive gestures or anything awkward.How could Aaron love her?“Let us go home, all right?” Aaron asked, and this time his voice sounded gentle.Rose nodded awkwardly. She simply let Aaron take her hand as they walked toward the parking area. Rose remained silent, lowering her gaze to the pavement she stepped on.Her mind was in complete chaos as she tried to process everything.Aaron’s kiss, his confession, and her abandoned plan to run away. Everything swirled together inside her mind and heart.Aaron opened the car door, but Rose froze for a moment. She felt something strange, as if someone was watching them. Her

104. The Beginning of the Truth

Matteo let out a long, weary breath as he sat inside the car. He had been there for more than ten minutes, doing nothing. Just staring blankly at the buses leaving the terminal one after another.He had followed Aaron all the way to the bus terminal.Matteo had no idea what Rose was doing there. All he saw from a distance was Aaron having a small argument with her, and then it ended with Aaron kissing Rose. Kissing her.Why did Matteo’s chest ache so badly when he saw Aaron kiss Rose in public?Rose was nobody to Matteo. They did not even know each other. And yet, the look in her eyes felt so familiar to him. Eyes that once made his heart tremble and feel alive.“My God,” Matteo whispered.His troubled thoughts were interrupted when his phone vibrated. He reached for it on the passenger seat and glanced at the screen. Letty’s name appeared. He did not feel like answering, but ignoring her was not an option.“Yes, Letty?” Matteo greeted.Whether it was instinct or the tiredness in his
