Chapter 775

Watching Jareth wrap Marilla in his embrace, Aaron’s eyes brimmed

with a stinging sensation, and he couldn’t help but capture the

moment with his camera.

“Aaron, I’m dying to know, when did you figure it out?” Lily, dressed as a pink bunny, couldn’t contain her curiosity any longer.

“Maybe it’s just a cop’s hunch.”

Aaron didn’t tell her that love, that kind of thing, can never be hidden, no matter how hard you try.

“Let’s let Mr. Fairhaven and Ms. Marilla stay together a little longer. We promise not to bother you anymore,” Lily pleaded.

Aaron knew the reason for her tears all too well. His heart was bittersweet, but he still managed to flash her a bright smile,

“Are you hungry? Come on, Aaron’s gonna take you out for some good

eats!”
