The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1138

Xante was the only person in the living room by the time Corinne got back.

She sat next to her and asked, "Where's Aaron?"

Xante pointed with her chin to outside, where it was viewable through the floor-to-ceiling window.

Corinne looked to where she pointed and saw Aaron and Annie playing with Joey on the lawn.

"I thought Aaron doesn't like kids," said Corinne with narrowed eyes.

Xante pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses. "He doesn't. He's just putting up an act."

"Why would he do that?"

At that moment, Corinne saw Aaron reaching out to help Annie swipe off some leaves that had fallen on her hair.

Annie instinctively stepped back, though she did thank him. After that, she focused her attention on Joey only.

"Aaron is still chasing after Annie?" Corinne asked with a frown.

"My guess is he can't help but chase after her. He's in way too deep than we thought," replied Xante wisely.

"What do you mean?"

…

At the Holdens' mansion compound, Aaron was holding Joey high up in the air. At first, Joey was frightened as it was his first time meeting Aaron, but after a while, he relaxed and found the whole thing fun.

Annie looked at Aaron, who looked so gentle and happy playing with Joey under the bright sunlight. A sense of warm and fuzzy feelings rushed over her.

"I didn't know you like kids so much, Mister Aaron," said Annie.

"What makes you think I like kids?" Aaron asked while pulling Joey back into his arms.
