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

3/3

Chapter 993

Just as Lena was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she heard Aaron say-

“No need. I’ll do it later.”

Lena: …

What the hell do you mean, later? Just let her take the damn laundry so I can leave!

“Aaron, can I take a look at this plant?” Xandra asked casually, but before waiting for a response, she was already walking toward the curtain–toward her.

The plant was right next to where Lena was hiding.

With the bright reflection of the snow outside, if Xandra so much as turned her head slightly, she’d definitely spot her.

I knew I shouldn’t have hidden here!

But where else could she have gone?

Aaron was a minimalist–his entire home was pristine, with no unnecessary clutter. Everything was neatly tucked away in cabinets, leaving nowhere to hide.

The truth was, she shouldn’t even be here.

Lena held her breath, silently praying that Xandra would just glance at the plant and move on.

But of course, the more she wished something wouldn’t happen, the more likely it did.

“This plant isn’t doing well,” Xandra suddenly commented her voice laced with expertise. “See the black spots on the tips of the leaves? That’s a sign of over–fertilization. If you don’t treat it, the whole thing could end up covered in blackened leaves, which would ruin its appearance.”

Only then did Lena remember–Xandra was a biology researcher.

“How do I fix it?” Aaron asked, his voice calm, as if he was genuinely interested.

“This is easy. I can take care of it for you right now.” Xandra was already rolling up her sleeves.

Oh, hell no.
