“Oh, I’m only doing it to help you. You looked kind of tired taking care of him,” answered Aaron.

Annie was stunned, and her heart actually skipped a beat. ‘He’s only doing this to help me… No, Annie! Don’t overthink this. I shouldn’t take the words of a serial flirter seriously.’

She shook her head to clear her mind. “Thanks for helping, but I still think you must’ve liked kids. Otherwise, you’ll find the whole thing annoying after five minutes. Just like my ex. He hates kids so much that he’d growl at any kid who comes near him.”
