Chapter 234
After talking to Monique for a while in the hospital, I went to see Josiah. As I left his wardroom, I saw
Ian and Sawyer smoking while leaning against the wall in the hallway. I didn''t know what they were
talking about.
Sawyer didn''t seem to be happy. He red at Joe with fumes in his eyes, looking like he was a little
frustrated.
I stepped forward and said, "Ian, go and keep Moniquepany. I have something else to do, so I
have to leave."
Ian didn''t say anything. Sawyer put out his cigarette and said to me, "I''ll go with you!"
Ian wasn''t exactly happy too. I had no idea what was going on between them, so I simply told him, "I''ll
take a taxi since I didn''t drive. You should wait for Ian."
"Alright then," Ian looked at Sawyer and said, "Wait for me!"
Sawyer frowned, "I have to do something too. I don''t have time to y games with you!"
"F*ck! It''s not like I was ying you!" Ian retorted.
I was speechless.
I was convinced that these two people were bored out of their minds. After some thought, I silently left
the two to their own and went to say goodbye to Monique. Then, I went straight back to the vi.
Initially, I nned on going for yoga, but the lesson on that day required the couple to attend together.
Since Hendrix was together with Andrea, he shouldn''t have the time to apany me to the ss. I
didn''t want to bring pain upon myself, so I simply went back to the vi.
Then, when I noticed the ck Bentley at the vi''s front gate, I couldn''t decide if I should be angry or
disgusted.
Aaron got out of the car with a gentle smile on his face. "I''ve been waiting for you for a long time.
Where have you been? Why did you turn off your phone?"
I remained where I was. My hands clenched into a tight fist, trying my best to suppress my disgust.
"What are you doing here?"
He raised his eyebrows. "Look at you... Both of you!" His gaze fell on my belly, he was clearly implying
something.
I hated how eerie his gaze felt. "Okay, you saw what you came to see. Can you leave now?"
If possible, I never wanted to see this person for the rest of my life.
I walked past him and went straight into the vi. Aaron caught up with me and blocked my way. His
charming face was gloomy. "Arianna, are you going to spend the rest of your life treating me this way?

I''m your brother, not your enemy. Families are supposed to be the closest to each other. Why are you
pushing me away?"
Looking at him, I took a deep breath and swallowed some of my emotions. "How else do you want me
to treat you? Aaron, deep down in your heart, you should know if we''re really family. I have never
pushed you away. You''re the one who walked away."
"We''ve drifted this far apart because of your cold gaze, your stubbornness, and your selfishness!" To
be frank, I was overjoyed when Carol brought Aaron back to our home in Hovell. I thought that I had
one more family member to love, but what he did truly mortified me.
Aaron''s face was hard to read. He seemed sad, but heughed satirically, "You''re leaving me too?"
Looking at how defenseless he was, I avoided his gaze and replied in a low voice, "I''m not leaving you.
It''s just that-"
"That''s great, Arianna! It''s fine as long as you stay the same as when you were younger and don''t push
me away!" His expression turned bright in a second. Then, he turned around and took out a basket full
of things from his car.
Smiling, Aaron said, "I know you''ve missed the fruits from our home in Hovell. Do you remember I told
you that I''ve bought back that house? I nted some fruits in the yard with the seeds left by Grandma,
and they''re now harvestable. I''ve brought your favorites. Here are some tomatoes and green
mangoes!"
I could only gape at him. For a moment, he was familiar, but it was odd. Aaron had always been cold
and distant. He shouldn''t be doing these things.
Even if I had known him for so many years, I still couldn''t figure out his temper.
