Love Began with the First Meeting

"Zoey, the baby in her womb was lost..." said Vivi while looking at Zoey, with an even more painful expression.

"Oh really? If it was the case, she deserved it..." said Zoey instinctively. Suddenly, her eyes glared and her mouth went slightly open. She was startled and speechless for a while before she could ask Vivi again," You... what did you just say? Ximena's baby is lost? That's what you want to tell me?" Without saying a word, Vivi nodded, the pain on her face spreading wildly, revealing a deeper level of despair and pain. "How is that possible?"

With a loud gasping voice, Zoey cried out carelessly and abruptly, which attracted a lot of attention in the cafe.

"Yeah, I also want to ask how's that possible?" This time, Vivi's voice was light and indifferent, as if she was asking herself.

With the news syncing down on her, Zoey's arrogance immediately faded away, and she shrugged her shoulders, as if unwilling to admit the truth, but she had to whether she liked it or not. Then with a softer voice, she said in a frustrated tone," My brother even allowed that woman to have his baby." Realizing the fact, Zoey felt a little sad, not for Vivi, but for herself.

Indeed, no one could teach the heart whom to love or not to love. Especially with Aaron, no one could walk into his life and care for his heart and be loved by him back. Even Zoey, his half-sister could not even do that. As long as she acted carefully and did not cross his bottom line, he would not do anything to her, and would just allow her to act on her own will. But, deep in her heart, she knew...

She knew very well that he didn't think of her as his sister at all. Every time he was near her, Zoey could feel that he didn't like her. Not in her entire life did Zoey ever felt that Aaron showed his sincere brotherly love for her, nor even just a slight concern.

With that, Zoey had been used to his cold treatment. If it was not for the reason that they shared the same mother, she was even afraid that he would have thrown her directly into the sea to be fed to the sharks after she acted against his wills so many times. The more she thought about it, the more crossed she was with Aaron. Looking down at the coffee the waiter had just put down in front of her, she stirred it gently with a spoon, even forgetting that she didn't add any milk or sugar at all.

With their head hanged low, Vivi and Zoey went quiet and just sipped their coffees with different thoughts running on their heads. Behind them the café grew busier as costumers come and go, everything around them seemed to go on normally.

While on that table by the corner seated two friends whose minds and hearts were troubled. Both were confused whether they would be happy with what happened to their worst enemy or be sorry for her. At the moment, Vivi's mood was not much better than Zoey's. They preferred to keep their silence and just let their thoughts run wild as to what they would do in case they come face to face with Ximena and Aaron.

Even, Zoey was more sad and painful. Although she didn't know how many women had affairs with Aaron before, she clearly understood that no one was ever allowed to be pregnant with his child.

Under any circumstances, and under not proclaimed rules, women that were connected with him were not allowed to be pregnant.

But, to their surprise, Ximena was pregnant, and it was after three months that they got her pregnancy news!

What was that supposed to mean? What was with Ximena that made her so different among all the other women? According to what had happened, it simply meant that Aaron really wanted her to be pregnant, and even wanted her baby. She even heard from the doctor that when he said that Ximena's baby could not be saved, he obviously sensed that Aaron was emitting a murderous aura all over his body.

"No, no, it's not like that! I'm sure my brother doesn't love her," muttered Zoey unhappily, with sore nose and red eyes. "I'm going to find her and tell her that she is not qualified to be with my brother."

After that, in a fit of pique, she stood up, grabbed her bag aside and left the coffee shop.

Zoey rushed to the hospital by driving her car with a crazy speed.

She went to two hospitals owned by Leng's Corporations before she finally found out which one Ximena was living in.

Entering the hospital with an enraged expression on her face, she directly walked towards the elevator and pressed the floor of the VIP ward area.

As she was waiting for the elevator to land the VIP floor, all her sadness gradually turned into anger and brewed deeper in her heart. It looked as if she could eat Ximena whole the moment she saw her. "Ding!"

When the elevator opened, Zoey went straight to the nurse's station, asked Ximena's ward number, turned around and walked fast to her ward. As she came to the door, her hand had just seized the doorknob. She was about to storm in but she stopped all her action abruptly. Looking inside through the visiting window, she saw Ximena half leaning on the bed, pale, and a man in a dark suit, with his back to the door, was standing by the bedside, as if they were having some sort of confrontation.

"You want to have an abortion from the start, right? Ever since you knew you are pregnant?"

With his dark eyes growing darker, Aaron asked coldly again.

Not expecting his question, Ximena raised her eyebrows and the corners of her mouth curved into a smile, which, however, was so aloof. She asked ironically," What? Are you telling me that you actually want this baby?"

Aaron was irritated by her question. His sharp and heavy eyes were glued on Ximena. After waking up, she didn't bother to ask if the baby in her womb was still alive or not. Thus when he told her that the baby was lost, except for the change of her sudden facial expression at the beginning, she had been wearing an indifferent face till now! He thought all the while that he had the ability to read people's mind and no one could really hide something in front of him. But at the moment, he could not read her mind at all and had no clue what she was thinking at the very moment.

Before the accident happened at the manor, she told Aaron that she had something to tell him. Didn't she want to confess to him about the baby? Aaron was saddened at the thought that the moment was cut short by the accident. What if they hadn't met that accident? Ximena could have told him about the baby and their lives would be different by then.

Now, however, judging from Ximena's words, it seemed that she doesn't want the baby and had no plans of telling him at all. "What if I tell you that I want the baby?" Still, with an expressionless face, Aaron retorted quietly and calmly.

Ximena's face froze for a moment, but then she asked with a sneer," You know all this time that I was pregnant, right?" If he didn't know, how could he have behaved like that?

Knowing Ximena, Aaron was not surprised at all. These past few days, he sensed that Ximena had already known that he had a hunch about her being pregnant. "Yes," Aaron answered simply. Not wanting to cause any further trouble, Aaron didn't want to lie to her at the moment.

"Aaron Leng," Ximena said pointedly and suddenly smiled, but her face was full of irony. "Since you knew it and you said you wanted this baby, then why didn't you tell me earlier?" Seeing the joy on her face and the tears that were slowly brimming on her eyes, Aaron stammered," I..." He suddenly lost his tongue, thinking that he had been so ridiculous to wait for her to confess about her pregnancy to him, and felt that all he had to bear was her sharp inquiry. He now realized that it was impossible for her to tell him first, just because she was scared of him, and his powerful identity.

After learning that both of them just waited for each other to make the first move, no one spoke out. Their inhibition had caused such a misunderstanding that eventually led the two of them to regret what they hadn't done. "Well, you're not sure if you want to the baby, are you?" Breaking the odd silence, Ximena asked and sneered coldly. "I have lost the baby. There is nothing I can do about it now.

Actually, that's fine. Now, it saved me a lot of trouble. I don't have to worry about it anymore, worry about what kind of life he or she will want, and what kind of environment he or she should live in and if he or she will hate me..."

At the end of her words, Ximena's smile deepened, but tears were welling up unconsciously in her eyes and then pouring the abundant pain in her heart. "What happened was totally fine with me...so fine for me!" Ximena murmured in pain, with tears pouring out from her swollen eyes.

Looking at her crying and in so much pain like this, Aaron frowned tightly, and finally, squeezed out a few words from his teeth," Ximena, if you want to have a child, I will give it to you.

No matter what you want, just tell me and I will definitely give it to you!"
