Chapter 959

Aaron had a knack for handling people, never revealing all his cards at once.

“I’m pursuing Lil‘ Lena,” he said calmly.

Ron’s eyes widened, his breath catching in his throat. A few seconds later, he finally reacted, and everything became clear.

Lena had asked him to play the role of her boyfriend. Out of respect for her privacy, he hadn’t pried into the reason. Later, he’d asked Hayden, who simply told him to go along with it and not ask too many questions.

Now he understood–it was because Aaron was pursuing her.

“You’re already aware of my situation with her,” Aaron continued. “This process won’t be smooth, so it’s a good idea for her to use you as a stand–in boyfriend for now.”

Ron understood perfectly. His role was to act as a cover, fooling the fake mother–in- law like yesterday while giving Aaron and Lena space to start a secret relationship.

This was precisely Aaron’s plan. He wanted Lena to first accept him, to spend time together, and build their connection before going public. That way, no matter the external challenges, she wouldn’t retreat like she had this time.
