Chapter 967

“Do I need to change my shoes?” A gentle female voice cane from the doorway.

Lena thought she must be hearing things. She snapped her head up, and her eyes landed on a tall girl in casual attire standing by the entrance. Next to her was Aaron, dressed in a dark coat.

They hadn’t looked into the house yet, as the entryway was positioned just out of sight from the main living area. However, from her spot on the sofa, Lena had a clear view of them.

“No won’t be necessary. My parents don’t wear slippers at home,” Aaron explained patiently.

Lena felt as if she were frozen in place, her mind going blank as she stared at the two of them.

Hearing the commotion, Briana walked out from the kitchen, and she, too, stopped in her tracks.

It was rare–unheard of, even–for Aaron to bring a girl home. The implications were obvious.

“Sister,” Aaron greeted Briana first, then introduced the girl beside him. “This is my friend.”

Briana nodded quickly, her surprise evident. “Hello!”

The girl, slightly shy and uncertain, seemed hesitant to call Briana by name due to her age. She offered a polite smile instead. “Hello, my name is Xandra.”

“Please come in, please come in,” Briana said, gesturing warmly before turning toward Lena. “Lena, your Uncle Aaron has brought his girlfriend home.”

Lena finally snapped out of her daze just as Aaron led Xandra into the living room.
