Evelyn was a little surprised, now the two people did not go back home for dinner every day?
Aaron seemed to be aware of Evelyn's doubt, and added, "The main house."
Evelyn's hand holding the pen paused and she stared her eyes open at Aaron!
"Keep working. Don't think about it!"
"Oh!" Answered Evelyn and she kept fiddling with what was in her hands, but her mind was lost.
Glancing at Evelyn who knew nothing, Aaron felt that this meal seemed to be not so simple.
After work, Aaron took Evelyn to the main house. Arriving at the door of the manor, the two people got off the car and he passed the car key to the butler.
Aaron took Evelyn's hand and went straight into the villa.
"Mr. and Mrs. Xiao, Young Master Xiao is back with Miss Tang." After they entered the villa, the servant immediately came forward, placing slippers.
As the servant's words fell, an incongruous female voice was heard, "Brother Aaron, you are back."
Sabrina's original smile froze on her face at the sight of Evelyn's and Aaron's clenched hands.
At the sight of Sabrina, Aaron confirmed his guess.
"Why are you here?" Aaron asked Sabrina with an indifferent tone.
However, Evelyn looked at Sabrina, then she wanted to pull back her hand held by Aaron. But it was tightly held, as at the banquet that day.
Evelyn looked at Sabrina and did not know why she felt stuffy and uncomfortable in the heart.
Not waiting for Sabrina's answer, he heard his father's voice, "You are back, today your Uncle Qiao is also here, I want to say something."
Aaron frowned, and did not pay attention to Sabrina but pulled Evelyn to go in.
Soon everyone sat down. The Xiao's family sat on one side, and the Qiao's family sat on the other side. The rectangular table, was now like a negotiation table.
Sitting next to Aaron, Evelyn frequently received Uncle Qiao's gaze, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
Aaron, who kept his eyes on her sitting next to her, was aware of Evelyn's awkwardness and of course he saw Uncle Qiao's eyes on her.
"This is Evelyn, Miss Tang?" Asked Jerry Xiao, Aaron's father.
"Nice to meet you, Uncle Xiao. I'm Evelyn."
"Oh, better call me Mr. Xiao as the others." Just a title, had shown Jerry's attitude.
Evelyn smiled with embarrassment and said: "Mr. Xiao."
In the side to witness all this, Sabrina showed a smug smile as if she had won this battle.
Aaron looked at Sabrina and happened to collide with her vision. For a moment the eyes met, and Aaron's eyes on Sabrina were full of indifference, with no tenderness, which made Sabrina angry. The hands under the table tugged at the tablecloth and would like to tear the tablecloth into two halves.
In Sabrina's opinion, all this was counted on Evelyn. She thought that without her, everything would be the same as before.
She and he had been lovers. At that time, when he looked at her, his eyes were always full of spoil and not so indifferent.
But she quarreled with him for a trifle. And therefore, she broke up with him in anger. She went abroad. After she left, she found that she was wrong, she could not forget him, but because of the study, she delayed four years. She studied acting abroad and was now somewhat famous. This time, she returned home from abroad in order to make up with Aaron. Everything was supposed to go well. Unexpectedly this tomboy out of nowhere upset all the plans.
Before she returned, she had investigated. In the four years, Aaron had no new girlfriend, which made her feel that Aaron must have been waiting for her, so she now was in such hatred with Evelyn.
But what she did not know was that even though he spoiled her, it was only because of his parents. He did not meet the woman he liked at that time, so it was quite good for him to follow his parents' arrangement.
But in those four years so many changes happened, and this Evelyn who suddenly ran into Aaron's life, unexpectedly made his heart have a different feeling, so no matter who she was, he would not accept and would not hurt Evelyn.
"Uncle Qiao, why are you staring at Eve like that?" Aaron looked at Uncle Qiao and said lukewarmly. But he deliberately bit heavy on the word "uncle", to remind him that, as an elder, staring at the junior like this seemed not appropriate.
After Bain heard what Aaron said, there was a flash of discomfort on his face. But it was soon replaced by a faint smile. All this was seen in Aaron's eyes. He was so sophisticate that the skill of this transformation was not vaunted.
Aaron sneered in his heart, he seemed to have guessed the reason for the dinner, he was afraid it was to blame him.
"Aaron, where are those words from, I feel that your secretary looks graceful and attractive." Bain's words had overtones.
Evelyn also heard the deep meaning of Bain's words. That was not a compliment. Evelyn looked up at Bain and inadvertently saw Sabrina's hostile eyes, then she knew what was the matter.
She couldn't win and asked her father for help. That was childish. Evelyn despised Sabrina in the heart, but there was something bitter in her heart.
Sabrina was bullied and had a father to help her, but for her, except that her mother was good to her, she had never seen her father give her a good look from childhood to adulthood.
Evelyn hung her head lower, without a word, just kept staring at the bowl of white rice, as if she stared at a flower. Her mood could not stop getting low.
Aaron, who was nearest to Evelyn, perceived this change in her and a flash of anger rose within him. But only the look in his eyes got colder. He did not say anything more.
The whole air seemed to be filled with an awkward atmosphere, Uncle Xiao saw that there was something wrong and he said with a smile, "Come on, eat some vegetables."
Uncle Xiao and Uncle Qiao were saying fewer than three sentences, when Sabrina took his father's arm, acted in pettish and said, "Dad..."
"Sabrina is like a child, still pulling his father and acting like a spoiled child." Valery looked at Sabrina with a gentle smile.
"Auntie, I'm not acting like a spoiled child. I want my father to see my face." Because Sabrina bore a grudge against Evelyn and she associated it with that on the day of the banquet Valery treated Evelyn so warmly, her heart unavoidably took some kind of dislike to her too.
