The CEO’s Surrogate Wife

Aaron doesn’t know that Richard is outside the door. He is dejected, but he is more worried about Aileen right now.

“What’s wrong?” He tries to suppress his negative emotions as he talks.

Listening to his troubled voice, Aileen thinks that he must be very worried about her. But they can't be together again. Aileen feels that she is holding him up, and she has to let him go. He looks very worried and his expression is telling her that he cannot bear to be apart with her. Aileen feels anguish looking at him like that, but she has no other choice.

“I beg you, please stop caring about me, okay? It’s over, it’s over for us since long ago. No, we never had anything to do with each other since the beginning.” Aileen looks away and bites her lips as she says that, trying to fight the urge to ask him to stay.

She never knows that giving up on love can be so painful. But the shadow outside the door is pacing back and forth relentlessly as if it is warning her to severe their ties immediately. She cannot let Aaron stay here a minute longer.

But there is no reaction from Aaron.

Aileen is puzzled, how can he still stand next to her as if nothing has happened, even though she has said many harsh words to him? She glances at him out of the corner of her eyes. Her eyes meet with Aaron’s determined eyes. At that very moment, she feels like she is going to fall for him all over again.

She anxiously moves her gaze away and cannot bear to look at him any longer. She is afraid that she will lose control.

“Stop lying to yourself. I know that deep inside, you love me very much.” Aaron holds her hand firmly, “I am not going to leave you, no matter what you say to me. Because I know that you really like me, and that’s enough for me.”

He sounds very resolved as if nothing she says can change his mind now. Every single word he says strikes right in the middle of her heart.
