Chapter 519
Another thing was, guys were not typically as clean as girls, so Corinne and Xante asked Aaron to keep his personal belongings
in his room in order to keep the living tidy. He was not allowed to display his garage kit in the space they all shared, nor was he
allowed to use his exercise equipment outside of his room.
Other than that, he was trained to put his shoes back in the closet as soon as he got home and similarly, to put his indoor
slippers back in the same closet when he went out.
Did Aaron mind? Not really. He was used to it as the three of them grew up together.
Jeremy became even more suspicious of Corinne when he saw that she was trying to avoid the conversation but then, suddenly,
he heard the sound of someone entering the door passcode. from the outside of the room.
‘Someone is back!’ He thought with a frown and proceeded to look toward the door.
Corrine knew it was definitely Aaron and it was because she knew exactly that, she became a little worried. She started rubbing
Mimi’s head and sighed. She thought that Jeremy would have left by the time Aaron came home but reality turned out to be
different.
Aaron entered the foyer, placed the food takeout on the closet, and changed into his indoor. slippers.
He then raised his head and called out, “Hey, bo-”
However, he stopped there when he saw Jeremy sitting on the sofa.
‘What the hell is going on? Hasn’t the boss been trying to avoid this scumbag? Why did she bring him home?’
Aaron looked at Jeremy and Jeremy looked at him. It was obvious they did not think too kindly of each other.
Aaron did not dare to say anything as he did not know what was going on, so he threw a questioning look at Corinne.
Corinne looked at him and massaged her throbbing temple. ‘This is getting more and more complicated.’
She did not know what to do either.
Mimi jumped down from Corinne’s lap and went over to Aaron to rub itself against his legs in a bid for him to pick it up.
Jeremy’s eyes darkened. ‘This guy knows the passcode... He comes and goes freely as he pleases and the cat seems to be
really familiar with him...”
He narrowed his eyes at Corinne and asked, “Is he your husband?”
Corinne made some sound that could both be taken as a yes and a no. She did not deny it outright as it would be hard to explain
why they were living together if they were not married.
However, Corinne’s answer was like a shot of bullet straight into Jeremy’s heart.
He recognized Aaron to be the vice-president of Newmoon Group because he had dealt with him several times since he had
hired Newmoon Group to do the design project for Holden Group’s new building.
Jeremy remembered that Aaron had previously shown interest in Corinne. In fact, he even asked for her phone number in front
of Jeremy and proceeded to call her after that. Meaning to say, they stayed in contact since then, and that was how the whole
affair started.
The quick-witted Aaron was able to guess the situation through Jeremy’s question and the answer Corinne gave him.
Thus, he walked up to Jeremy, smiled cordially, and said, “It’s been a while, Mister Jeremy. You should’ve let me know you were
going to come over. I would’ve had more time to prepare some food and drinks for you.”
Jeremy-still seated on the sofa-raised his eyes to look at him. He did not beat around the bush as he got straight to the crux of
the matter. “When did the two of you start going out?”
Aaron was very clever. He deliberately walked over to Corinne and put his arm intimately around her shoulders.
“Oh, it was a whirlwind romance. It happened less than a month ago. We haven’t had a wedding yet but it’s just a matter of it
being sooner or later. Hey, I know, I’ll send you the wedding invitation. You must come to our wedding, Mister Jeremy.”
No one could tell what Jeremy felt because there was nary a hint of emotion on his face. Instead, he simply got up wordlessly.
“Leaving so soon, Mister Jeremy? By the way, thanks for giving Corinne a ride home. It’s getting late so I won’t ask you to stay,
but we’ll definitely treat you to a meal someday. I hope you won’t turn us down then,” said Aaron with a smile.
