Vanessa felt goosebumps all over her body.
She was held in the man’s arms, like a small beast in a trap.
She took a deep breath and said as calmly as she could, “Let go of me.”
“No.”
Aaron did not expect Vanessa’s body to be so soft, with a faint fragrance of milk. It smelled sweet and he wanted to eat it.
“Let go of me.”
Seeing that Vanessa was about to get angry, Aaron let go of her immediately.
Otherwise, she really was going to murder her husband.
Aaron saw that Vanessa was on the verge of fury and hurriedly appease her, but also did not forget to pretend to be pathetic.
“Lamb, do you really have no sympathy for me at all? I have a black eye for dealing with things about the Simmons family these days…”
He pointed to his eyes.
Vanessa looked at him unhappily, “I didn’t ask you to do it.”
Fine.
He had to come up with another idea, “Lamb, it’s so dark outside and it’s not safe for me to go back, why don’t I just sleep here with you?”
Vanessa frowned.
Why it’s not safe? He’s a big man.
It should be someone else who needed to worry about this, right?
Aaron continued, “If I could stay at the Phantom Court for one night, I would buy you delicious food every day.”
Vanessa’s face turned sullen.
Did she seem that nice?
Delicious food would buy her off?
But the stinky tofu he brought last time was really good.
Aaron saw that Vanessa was hesitating, he hurriedly added, “I’ll buy you whatever you like to eat every day from now on, okay?”
Vanessa finally compromised. Just as she wanted to say yes, a figure ran in abruptly.
“Boss!”
It was Edgar.
He came over to talk something about the Simmons family with Vanessa but found that Aaron was even there, and was immediately unhappy.
“How come you are here too?”
He watched the time and said, “It’s almost eleven o’clock, what are you doing at my boss’s house instead of going home?”
Aaron’s face turned back to indifference, “Do I need to report to Mr. Edgar where I am?”
“You!”
Edgar was furious, “You are still in her house so late, and everyone knows you are up to something. Get out of here!”
“You have no right to say that.”
Aaron said smilingly.
Edgar got angrier and said towards Vanessa, “Boss, you let him go!”
Aaron blinked.
She didn’t understand why Edgar was so angry.
Then, slowly, she said, “Wait a moment.”
“Wait a moment?!” Edgar widened his eyes and said worriedly, “Boss, do you know how bad it is for you if you are alone with him so late at night? You’re a young lady!!”
Vanessa glanced at him, “I don’t care about fame.”
Edgar thought about it.
She seemed to have a point.
Those who slandered the boss’s reputation had been taken out by her.
But, he was Aaron Anderson.
The last time he secretly investigated Aaron and got busted before he could find anything.
He was more suspicious of the identity of Aaron, but can’t find anything, only knowing that he was the heir of the Anderson family.
Right!
He was the heir of the Anderson family!
Edgar’s eyes lit up, “Boss, do you know that this man is your fiancé, the young master of the Anderson family, Aaron Anderson?”
“Yes.”
Vanessa replied.
Edgar was dumbfounded, “Boss, didn’t you say you hate it when people lie to you?”
“Yes.”
Vanessa didn’t speak a needless word
Edgar was completely silent and stood in place angrily.
Aaron felt a twinge of discomfort in his heart.
He could see that the relationship between Vanessa and Edgar was quite good.
Never mind, he might as well lighten the mood a bit.
“Mr. Edgar…”
“Don’t call my name!”
