Chapter 978 Extra Story 116 Of Aaron A Gamble

"Ximena," Aaron said softly, "From today, we will start a new life. I won't ask you to leave your past behind completely, and I'm not expecting you to accept me now either. But, I do cherish this new start and this moment is most valuable to me. "

Ximena took the bunch of roses from Aaron's hands. The roses had different colors, from light pink to rosy pink. Several circles of these roses made up for a beautiful bouquet.

Aaron retrieved a small velvet box from his pocket. The logo of the jewelry brand was stamped on the royal blue box. It was an enchanting 'M', which was in the shape of a streak of lightning. It was the jewelry brand which had been launched by the Leng's Corporations a year ago. The initial of Ximena's family name was used as his exclusive logo. Nobody except Aaron himself knew this.

"Even though you're able to afford anything you want now, I had prepared this gift for you a long time ago," Aaron said.

Staring at the two young faces on the black tombstone, she felt her nose ache and her eyes redden. Tears formed in her eyes instantly.

"Dad, Mom... Your daughter, Ximena, has come to see you..." she mumbled, trying her best to wear a smile. Her eyes could no longer keep the tears in, and hot drops slid down her cheeks and spread at the corners of her mouth. They tasted salty and bitter. She said, "I want to slowly walk out of the shadows of my past... though I still don't know if I will be able to accept him or not." Taking a deep breath, she fixed her eyes on the two black and white pictures on the tombstone. "Will you support me in this decision? Or will you hate me for it?" she asked.

A gust of bleak, chilly wind blew, swaying her long hair. She stood there silently, as still as a statue.

"Who are you?"

a confused voice came from behind her, interrupting her thoughts. Ximena came to herself. She turned around to look at the person.
