The Day I Kissed An Older Man by Cher the Cherished

Chapter 1551
Annie nodded and said, "Yes. Our family used to be considered normal working-
class people, but Uncle Jeremy's protection enabled US to become quite well-off.
You could even say that I was the daughter of a rich family. Now that Uncle
Jeremy isn't around, those who used to do business with our family for my
uncle's sake no longer do so anymore. That's life, am I right? One look at the
men that my family's been introducing to me on these blind dates, and you'll be
able to see just how far we've fallen. They never would've dared to introduce
someone like that to me when Uncle Jeremy was around.”
Aaron's initial focus was on Annie's situation, but he did not realize how big of an
impact Jeremy's disappearance had on her family. Things had become very
challenging for them.
"Now that your uncle is gone, perhaps you can ask your parents if they're
interested in having a son-in-law who can turn things around?" Aaron suggested.
"I might not be as influential as Jeremy, but I do have some connections and
influence in the city's business scene.”
Annie was bewildered by his suggestion, and she turned away in
embarrassment. "Stop with your jokes!"
"I'm not joking! Why do you always think I'm joking with you?" Aaron frowned.
"Because I've heard you say so many sweet nothings to so many women," Annie
said, averting her gaze from him. "I can't tell the truth from lies, so I'm not even
going to bother trying! And I don’t want to get hurt again. All the men I've had the
bad fortune of encountering are jerks!"
Aaron was a little helpless when he heard that, but he smiled and said,” Well, I
am a bit of a jerk, so I don't blame you if you don't believe me.
However, I'm not lying when I say I can help your family in this crisis. Are you
sure you're not going to take advantage of my offer?"
Annie hesitated and glanced at his irresistibly handsome face. However, she
looked away at once, fearing that another lingering look might lead her to agree.
After all, her self-control was very weak! "I'm sure. I don't want to owe you any
favors.” 1
Aaron looked into her eyes. "What if I don't see this as a favor? I'm more than
willing to make myself useful to you, even if only to make amends for any harm I
might have caused you."
"No." Annie shook her head. "You don't have to make amends because you
never hurt me in the first place. I did it to myself. If you truly want to help me, I
hope you'll leave me alone right now and stay as far away from me as possible!”
Aaron seemed a litle hurt as he asked, "Do you hate me so much that you won't
even look at me? Can we at least be friends if you don't want to accept my help?"
"I don't hate you,” Annie clarified, "but I don't want to be friends with you either.”
Rather than becoming upset, Aaron smiled. "Then tell me why. Give me a
reasonable explanation, and I'll respect your decision.”
Annie could not offer a logical explanation as she was unsure of herself. She was
afraid that her emotions would spiral out of control, thus beholding her to his
charm. The last thing she wanted was to catch
feelings again. The hurt she suffered from each successive failure was too
agonizing for a romantic like her!
"I... I just don't want to be friends with a jerk like you. Do I need to give you a
reason?"

Aaron then argued, "You can refuse my offer to help, but you can't refuse
Corinne's help, right?"
Annie then pointed out, "Don't tell her about this! Didn't you hear what I just said?
She's suffered a lot because of Uncle Jeremy's disappearance, and I don't want
to burden her any further.”
