Chapter 989

Aaron had left, and Selena had no idea where he'd gone.

She wasn't familiar with the area or the island's language-it wasn't one she knew.

Sitting by the enormous floor-to-ceiling window, she hugged her knees, feeling lost and helpless.

She pulled out her phone, thinking about contacting Aveline, but it was the middle of the night back in their country. Aveline was pregnant and definitely asleep. Selena didn't want to disturb her. What could she do? Who could help her?

Without being able to find Aaron, she couldn't even attempt to apologize.

Biting her lip, she unlocked her phone and stared at the transactions from "Foolish Aaron" she had saved over time. After tallying them up, she transferred all the money back to him.

Selena wrote, "I've returned all the money. Please don't be mad anymore, okay?"

The message was sent, but it was like throwing a stone into the ocean-no response.

"Sigh..."

Even paying him back didn't work. What was she supposed to do now?

On the other side of the island, Aaron sat at the edge of a cliff, looking at the message on his phone. His lips twitched in frustration.
