Chapter 711 Chapter 711 Aveline found herself at a loss for words, left only with silence in response.
Russell smiled faintly and stood up, saying, "I'll be going now. Get srest. If you ever run into any problems, just givea call." He rose from his seat, and Aveline followed suit, watching as he left. When the door closed, she couldn't help but sigh.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHow did things end up going in this direction? She sat back down on the sofa, taking small sips of juice, her thoughts drifting back to everything that had happened since she met Russell. It all gave her a bit of a headache.
She owed him a lot. But she didn't know how to repay it.
Aveline sighed again and stood up, heading to the study.
In a beautifully set restaurant, Selena held up her phone, taking photos. Her makeup was flawlessly done, her face bright and lovely, and her eyes sparkled with light as she looked into the camera.
Aaron sat across from her, lounging casually in his chair, a diamond necklace around his neck reflecting a dazzling light under the restaurant's glow.
As Selena finished her selfies, she reviewed the photos and asked, "So, what do you want to talk about?" Aaron gazed at her, asking, "Have you thought about the thing I asked you before?" Selena glanced up at him and replied, "What thing?" "Playing dumb, are we?" Aaron chuckled lightly. "Selena, you know you can't escape this no matter what, so you've started pretending to be clueless? But you should also know that playing dumb won't solve anything." Selena, satisfied with her photos, saved them before putting her phone down. A faint smile played on her lips, and there was a glint in her eyes, almost like a hook.

"Don't tellyou defied your family's arranged marriage for me? Don't do that-I don't want to be put on shigh-society hit list or hunted down. That would be way too scary." Aaron replied calmly, "You're overthinking it. In any case, I won't be getting engaged now. Selena, you have to be my woman." He no longer hid his determination, as if she already belonged to him.
Selena picked up her wine glass, swirling it gently, and sighed helplessly, "Alright." Aaron's expression froze, his heart seeming to pound even faster in his chest. "What?" he asked.
Selena continued, "We can be together, but I have one condition." Aaron looked at her. "Nit."
There was nothing he couldn't achieve. As long as her request wasn't too outrageous, he'd consider el it especially since he still felt a sense of ty about her. After all, a woman typically only desired certain things.
Selena took a sip of her wine, then set the glass down and said, "Aaron, I think you're only interested infor the moment, and honestly, I'm not interestenent, and interested in you at all. So, how about this: let's try being together for three months. If after three months you're still interested, we can continue. If not, we'll part ways without any hard feelings. What do you think?" Aaron's brows furrowed at her words, not expecting her to make such a proposal.
His mood darkened suddenly, his eyes taking on a cold glint ashem looked at her. "Selena, you have no right to set conditions for me."
