Bye-Bye Jerk, Hello Mr. Right by Rosie Steppe

Chapter 992

Sh*t!

He had already left–why was he coming back?!

Lena’s first instinct was to hide.

Running back to the bedroom wasn’t realistic–Aaron would probably enter before she even made it.

In the end, she chose the nearest possible hiding spot–the floor–length curtains.

Lena’s fingers dug into the wall behind her.

Her chest felt tight. Stifling.

Maybe people really were pathetic–never realizing what they had until it was gone.

She used to despise people like that.

Now, she had become the very thing she hated most.

“If you don’t like it, you can redecorate however you want before you move in,” Aaron said casually.

Lena’s eyes went wide.

Move in?

They’re moving in together?!

It had only been a few days!

Their progress was moving way too fast!

An icy weight settled over her heart, as if a chunk of snow had been stuffed inside her chest, freezing her from the inside out.

“Not at all, I quite like it,” Xandra’s voice was soft, carrying a shy undertone.

Lena clenched her teeth.

She didn’t know whether she was angrier at Aaron for inviting another woman to his home, or at herself for caring so damn much.

“Mm, coffee.”
