Jenny frowned. "Annie, we might not know Aaron very well, but isn't he your boyfriend?"
Annie rolled her eyes. She was so angry that she could have passed out there and then. "When did I say he's my boyfriend? Can you two please stop jumping to conclusions like that?"
Upon hearing this, Edward put down the kitchen knife he was holding. "Annie, are you saying Aaron isn't your boyfriend? Then why does he always help our family with business?"
Stunned, Annie did not know how to answer her father. "He..."
'So he really did help out with the family's business…?' she thought.
Last time Aaron kept nagging her to invite him home. She tried to get rid of him but could not, so she finally brought him home.
Aaron was the type of guy who could make friends wherever he went. As soon as he arrived at Annie's house, he immediately got her parents to open up to him. He also took the opportunity to chat about business matters.
At the same time, he made sure to pay attention to Annie, doing little things like handing her tissues, helping her wipe her mouth, and other actions that could easily mislead others to think he was her boyfriend.
However, after he left, Annie made it clear to her parents that she and Aaron were just friends. In fact, they were not even really friends. It would be more accurate to say Aaron was her former boss, and nothing more.
She thought that would be the end of it, so she was understandably upset to find Aaron in her house while she was out.
Edward wiped his hands and walked over to his daughter. "Annie, why aren't you saying anything? If Aaron isn't your boyfriend, why would he help our family so much without asking for anything in return?"
Annie was a little upset. She felt that she owed Aaron. "Dad, how exactly did he help our family?"
Jenny smiled and nodded. "Go ahead!"
Aaron turned to look at Annie. "Shall we go to the living room, Annie?"
Annie's lips twitched. She helplessly turned and walked to the living room with Aaron following behind her smilingly.
After they left, Edward looked at Jenny with slight confusion. "Aaron is certainly a really good kid, but why did Annie say that he isn't her boyfriend?"
Jenny waved her hands. "They're probably just having a lover's tiff. You should know your daughter's temper very well. She must be very upset about something he said or did. We shouldn't meddle in their business. Let's get back to cooking. They're still waiting for dinner."
Edward found what Jenny said made sense, so he picked up the kitchen knife again to resume chopping up the vegetables.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
