Chapter 140 - First Refusal

Hearing Anne\'s words left Aaron speechless for a moment. He just stared at Anne without blinking with an indescribable gaze. After being silent for almost two minutes, Aaron then grabbed his fork which had fallen before. As if nothing had happened, Aaron then started eating his food again.

Seeing Aaron\'s attitude made Anne speechless. She was confused why Aaron was silent. Even though she knew Aaron was a person who never gave in when he was arguing.

"Aaron …"

"Eat, Anne, finish your meal then we\'ll talk again. I don\'t want to hear nonsense like that," Aaron said, quickly cutting off Anne\'s words while continuing to enjoy his food.

Anne was silent to hear Aaron\'s words. Even though Aaron spoke quietly and did not use a high-pitched intonation, but somehow Anne felt uncomfortable sitting this close to Aaron at this time. Anne felt the coldness come out of Aaron\'s body and it made her feel intimidated. Because she didn\'t want to find trouble, Anne finally followed Aaron\'s orders to focus on eating the food on her plate.

After fifteen minutes passed without talking, Anne then grabbed the napkin that was on her thigh, and slowly wiped her lips as she had finished eating. Likewise with Aaron, he was also seen wiping his lips with the napkin.

"I\'m going to go to the cashier ..."

"Sit down, Anne, we haven\'t finished talking yet," Aaron said, quickly interrupting Anne\'s words.

"All right, now what do you have to say? I\'m ready to hear it," answered Anne quietly.

"I should be the one asking that. Tell me what you meant by what you said earlier. Was it part of your plan to reject my previous proposal by claiming to be a widow?" said Aaron curtly.

"No, Aaron, I\'m serious, I was married 3 years ago before coming to London. At that time, I was still living in Germany. But after divorcing my ex-husband, I finally decided to move to London to continue my life and started to organize my life again from scratch," said Anne quietly.

"Three years ago you got divorced? You\'re nineteen years old! You\'re married? Don\'t joke around, Anne, it\'s not funny at all." Aaron denied Anne\'s words by mentioning Anne\'s age three years ago.

"I married young because of an arranged marriage," said Anne honestly.

"Why are you divorced?" asked Aaron coldly. He still couldn\'t believe her words that she was a widow.

"My husband cheated on me with my best friend. They were having an affair behind my back for almost a year of my marriage," replied Anne quickly.

"So you were only married one year?" asked Aaron in surprise.

"Yes." Anne replied briefly.

Aaron was silent again when he heard Anne\'s words, but his eyes were still staring intently at Anne, as if he wanted to swallow Anne alive. He still couldn\'t believe her confession that she was a widow. Suddenly, Aaron burst out laughing. He was laughing very loudly even though at this moment Anne was just silent after confessing everything honestly.

"Never mind, Anne, let\'s go home. I\'ll take you to the shop, your joke this time is enough to cheer me up," Aaron said softly as he wiped his tears from the corners of his eyes.

"I-I\'m serious Aaron, I\'m a widow. I\'ve been divorced two years ago," said Anne again, trying to convince Aaron who had gotten up from his chair.

Aaron who was getting ready to walk to the stairs suddenly stopped his footsteps. He then turned his head and walked over to Anne. When Anne was still not ready, suddenly Aaron grabbed Anne\'s face and gave Anne a kiss on the lips quickly, which Anne couldn\'t avoid.

"As long as I don\'t see your divorce papers or your marriage certificate, I don\'t trust you, Anne. So don\'t expect me to back down to get you. To me, all your words were just a trigger for me to chase you even harder. I won\'t lose to that Jackson Muller. You\'re mine, Anne," Aaron whispered softly after landing a soft kiss on Anne\'s pink lips that were not covered with lipstick.

"But, Aaron, I\'m being honest, I\'m not ..."

"Hush! Don\'t talk anymore or I\'ll attack you here, you know I\'m not a normal man," said Aaron quickly cut off Anne\'s words.

Hearing Aaron\'s words made Anne speechless, she immediately closed her mouth tightly because she didn\'t want to make Aaron do his threat. Seeing Anne\'s silence made Aaron smile. He then grabbed Anne\'s body to get up from the chair and invited her to come down from the second floor to go home. Eating with Anne made Aaron finish almost all the food in front of him. Anne\'s presence really made his appetite increase. After paying for all the food they ate, Aaron then led Anne out of the restaurant quickly, because currently on the first floor there were a lot of men who were eating. Aaron didn\'t want the men to see Anne. He didn\'t like anyone else staring at Anne for more than two minutes.

After getting into the car, Aaron was again busy checking his cell phone, and so was Anne, who replied to a message from Paul and Linda who had been sending her messages asking her to immediately get to the shop, because the shop was full of visitors. When she was focused on her cell phone, Anne suddenly surprised when she felt Aaron\'s hand wrapped around her waist and pulled her, which suddenly made her body shift towards Aaron.

"From now on, get used to sitting this close to me in the car," Aaron said softly right in Anne\'s ear.

Thump!

Hearing Aaron\'s words, Anne\'s face was immediately hot. She then pushed Aaron away from her with both her hands. However, because Aaron\'s body was so much bigger than hers, her efforts were futile. In fact, Aaron didn\'t budge at all.

"Let me go, Aaron. Your driver will see us," said Anne quietly as she tried to let go of Aaron\'s fingers which had lodged in her waist.

"Let him be. He must know who the future Mrs. Connery is for him to respect," Aaron replied quickly.

Anne\'s heart skipped a beat to hear Aaron refer to her as future Mrs. Connery, a title Leon had never spoken to her before. Even after marrying, Leon did not introduce her as Mrs. Ganke in front of all the servants in his big house, thus making the servants and workers in the luxury house thought of Anne as a shameless woman, which resulted in her being bullied by them for one year.

The sound of the horn pressed by Gary the driver made Anne wake up from her reverie. Apparently, a car had stopped suddenly in front of them and caused Gary to honk and hit the brakes firmly to avoid a collision.

Seeing that there was a chance, Anne immediately removed Aaron\'s hand from her body and immediately sat away from Aaron.

"Don\'t say that, Aaron, my name is Anne. Don\'t call me as the future Mrs. Connery, I don\'t deserve that title. You remember what I said earlier in the restaurant, I\'m a widow, Aaron," said Anne quietly.

Gary, who was stepping on the gas again, looked surprised to hear the words of the girl who was brought by the master behind him who claimed to be a widow. He almost hit the brakes again if he didn\'t get over himself quickly.

Aaron\'s expression immediately changed when Anne mentioned the status of his widow again, he was again disturbed by those words again. Seeing Aaron\'s silence made Anne calm. She then sat nicely near the door.

"I\'m sorry, Aaron. I don\'t want to hold the title of Mrs. Someone right now. My goal this time is to give a little lesson to the two traitors. They must feel the wounds they previously inflicted on me." Anne thought softly as she stared at the highway through the windshield of the car beside her in silence.
