Chapter 1255

Annie was stunned for a moment. She looked up and saw Aaron smiling at her as he took his seat just

opposite her!

‘Is this what he meant when he said I didn’t come here for nothing?’

Aaron called one of the wait staff and ordered a cup of coffee for himself. He then looked at Annie with

a smirk and asked, “Are you speechless because you’re that happy to see me?”

Annie snapped back to her senses and placed her phone down. She stared at him sullenly and said,

“How did you know I’m here?”

Aaron grinned. “I guess you can call this…having a telepathic connection.”

“What are you trying to do, Aaron?” Annie became even angrier.

Aaron answered curtly, “Trying to win your heart.”

Annie’s expression froze before her cheeks turned red. She cleared her throat awkwardly and said,

“Stop making these jokes!”

Aaron looked at her intently. “I’m not joking. I’ve been confessing my love to you since yesterday.

You’re the one who didn’t take me seriously.”

“Did you just use the word ‘seriously’?” Annie shot back with a frown. “You’ve got some nerve using

that word in front of me! I don’t think you even know how to spell the word ‘serious’!”

Aaron lowered his gaze and nodded. “You’re right. I never knew how to spell that word, but you were

the one who taught me how.”

Annie was speechless.

Aaron did not feel awkward when she stopped talking. Rather, he asked her softly, “What do you want

for lunch? We’ll get some for Corinne after we’re done eating.”

“I don’t remember agreeing to have lunch with you!” Annie looked out the window.

Aaron smiled. “Well, I’m here! Think of this as trying out some food before we decide what to get

Corinne.”

Annie did not know what else to say. Aaron was too much of a smooth talker! She did not have any

reason to refuse after what he said!

She gave it some thought and remembered her plan to bring some food back for Corinne. In that case,

she could just have a meal with Aaron in the meantime. She nevertheless emphasized, “Sure. We can

have lunch, but I have a boyfriend! I hope you don’t say anything that will make me flustered.”

Aaron was unbothered by her comment and smiled even more. “Sure! But everything I say seems to

make you flustered. You don’t even dare to look me in the eyes!”

Annie was appalled that he had noticed all of that! She did not dare to look into Aaron’s eyes as she

was afraid that her shyness might be revealed.

Aaron’s eyes were so handsome and gentle, and it was those eyes that made her fall for him. She

knew she would never be able to keep calm if she made eye contact with him.

‘I can’t fall in love with other men when I have Marcus! No! No! No! I can’t! I will not let myself turn into

the very thing I despise—women who were unable to commit to one man!’

Her faltering expression led Aaron to sigh and stop teasing her. “What would you like to eat?”

Annie snapped out of her senses and shook her head. “We can eat whatever Corinne likes to eat.”

Aaron cocked an eyebrow. “I know what she liked before she got pregnant, but her tastes have

changed now. Besides, I’m not sure if there are certain foods that pregnant women should avoid.

You’re a girl, so I suppose you’d know better than a man like me.”

“How would I know?” Annie retorted. “I’ve never been pregnant before!”

Aaron chuckled softly.

Annie felt that something was amiss, so she frowned and asked, “Why are you laughing?”
