Chapter 74- His bride

“I always wondered why I was fascinated with green eyes. Turns out I had a memory of your bright green eyes in my mind,” Aaron remarked.

He had only recently recalled this. Elena had shown him photos of Tessa when she was a kid. That was when he remembered that they had met before. She was the little girl who dared to boss him around!

– Flashback to twenty-one years ago-

A young Aaron lost in a horse race with his peers. This meant it was his turn to go and buy their snacks for when they go for their usual extra lessons.

It was a price to pay for losing, but young Aaron wasn’t happy. He always won so he couldn’t accept that he lost just like that.

Begrudgingly, he walked into a convenience store that was on the way from his father’s ranch in the Countryside. His friends, Tony, Victor and Graham waited in the car and laughed at his predicament.

Aaron had butlers to tend to him so naturally, he didn’t like running errands for others. However, a deal is a deal. Since they had agreed on the punishment, he could only bury his dissatisfaction and head into the store.

He quickly grabbed the snacks and went to the till to pay. At the same time, a little girl happened to run into the store. She was eyeing her favourite chocolate with a hungry expression.

Suddenly, she saw a boy buying snacks and her eyes lit up. She grabbed the chocolate and rushed to the till before placing her chocolate beside Aaron’s snacks.

She then tugged at his shorts and ordered, “Buy.”

Aaron glanced at her and frowned. He took the chocolate and pushed it aside. But the little girl pushed it back to his things.

“Buy!” She glared at him.

He felt irritated and glowered at her, but he soon changed his expression when he saw her puppy-doe green eyes. She was trying to look intimidating but she just looked adorable.

“I want chocolate!” The little girl ordered.

Aaron furrowed his eyebrows. He had never been bossed around before. However, the little girl had a way of making him bend to her will.

It was just chocolate and he had money. He thought he wouldn’t lose anything if he bought it for her. He added the chocolate and paid for it before giving it to the little girl.

He looked down at her and asked, “What’s your name?”

Tessa smacked her lips and opened the chocolate wrapper, saying, “My name is Tessa. Tessa Hilton.”

Aaron leaned over and looked into her eyes. He advised, “Don’t go around asking strangers to buy you chocolate. You might end up asking a bad guy.

Tessa frowned and asked, “Are you a bad guy?”
