Chapter 35: Brief Glimpse of Longing

Katrina obediently closes the book she's reading and goes out.

Aaron is sitting on the sofa with his legs folded. He's elegant and beautiful as an angel as he beckons to her, "Come here."

Katrina slowly walks over and sits down next to him.

Aaron raises his eyebrows and his lips. "Did you tell Victoria Roberts that you're my servant?"

Katrina nods. "Yeah."

Miss Roberts was so aggressive when she had no idea about her identity. To prevent any trouble, Katrina could only say that she was a servant.

Aaron touches his chin and looks at Katrina. "Since you want to be my servant… Should I do what you want?"

Katrina quickly waves her hands in response. "No!"

She doesn't want to be his servant. She's not a masochist!

If she does, she's afraid that he'll have more reason to bully her.

"I... I don't know who Miss Roberts is. If she's your girlfriend, lover, or fiancé, it will cause a misunderstanding to see me here. I didn't want to interfere with your relationship, so I said that."

Girlfriend?

Lover?

Fiancé?

Is he such a casual person in her eyes?

Aaron doesn't get angry at her response and smiles instead. "So… Should I thank you?"

Katrina finds Aaron's smile very ghoulish at that moment.

She's telling the truth. Why is he looking at her like that?

"Yes," Katrina replies stiffly.

Aaron somehow finds a little resentment in Katrina's soft voice.

His lips are slightly crooked, and his black eyes are fixed on her. "Katrina, are you jealous?"

Jealous?

Who's jealous?

If he thinks she's jealous, there must be something wrong with his brain. He's too delusional!

Katrina refuses vehemently, "I'm not jealous!"

Whether he has a woman has nothing to do with her. In fact, she's eager for him to get a girlfriend quickly. Then his girlfriend will get her out of his sight, and she can go home.

Aaron chuckles. "She's not my girlfriend. I don't have a girlfriend, a lover, or a fiancé."

Katrina is devastated to hear him share his personal life so seriously.

There's no need for him to tell her about these things.

She doesn't care if he has a girlfriend!

Amidst her devastation, Katrina smells something sweet. Looking towards the direction of the smell, she sees a delicate dessert on the table.

Having a sweet tooth, Katrina is easily attracted by the dessert.

But since Victoria gave it to Aaron, she couldn't covet it.

What the eye doesn't see, the heart doesn't grieve over. Katrina quickly looks away and pretends nothing happened.

But Aaron catches this brief glimpse of longing.

It turns out that Katrina is interested in the dessert on the table.

Aaron doesn't like sweets, so he puts the box of dessert into Katrina's arms.

The sweet smell of cream on the tip of Katrina's nose becomes stronger, and looking at the dessert in her arms, Katrina is stunned and quickly pushes it back. "Aaron, what are you doing?"

He deliberately seduces her into doing a crime by putting the dessert into her arms!

Aaron puts the desert back into Katrina's arms. "Help me out and take it."

"I don't want it at all," Katrina feels guilty to accept it and refuses again, "Miss Roberts made it, and she came all the way here to bring it to you. You keep it."

Aaron smiles at Katrina's lie. "You really don't want it? Someone's mouth is watering."

What?

Katrina panics and quickly touches her chin.

But there's no drool.

Is her fondness for desserts so transparent?

Moreover, being exposed by Aaron makes Katrina feel embarrassed. Her pretty face instantly turns red.

But... Since Aaron insists on giving her the dessert, she has to accept it.

Taking the box, Katrina picks up a strawberry mousse cake and takes a bite. The sweet taste instantly blooms in her mouth.

Katrina's eyes light up with unspeakable satisfaction.

Miss Roberts is a good cook. The dessert is delicious!

Katrina is satisfied with the dessert, and she smiles sweetly after eating several treats.

She sees Katrina eat like a hamster puts Aaron in a rare good mood.

Aaron looks down at a newspaper, and in a blink of an eye, the box is empty. Katrina touches her stomach full of dessert and burps. Her pretty face looks relaxed and content.

Although Katrina knows that she could easily get fat from eating too many sweets, she can't help but indulge after not eating such a delicious dessert for a long time.

Aaron looks at the empty box, slightly stunned.

Did she eat the whole box of sweets?

She eats like a hamster and acts like a hamster. Is there a place in her body where she can store all that food?

Feeling someone's gaze, Katrina turns to find Aaron staring at her.

"Delicious?" Aaron asks.

Katrina nodded

At that moment, Katrina realizes that she ate up all the dessert and left Aaron nothing… It felt wrong.

Katrina suddenly feels guilty.

"I'm sorry, Aaron. I… I forgot to leave some for you."

Aaron grins. "That's all right."

Then he says, "But I still want to know how delicious it is, to make you gulp down an entire box."

Katrina doesn't know how to respond. She already finished everything. How could she let him know how it tastes?

While Katrina thinks of adjectives to describe the taste, Aaron suddenly puts an arm around her waist and brings her to his chest. Then, he bows his head and kisses her lips.

Katrina is stunned by the sudden kiss. Her mind goes blank, and she forgets to fight back.

She feels an electric shock, and her whole body becomes numb. For a moment, she's in a daze. She is feeling a loss of a sudden emotion that hit her mind.

Aaron tastes her mouth carefully and gently, like eating a delicious dessert and gradually going a little deeper.

As the air thins a bit, it becomes nearly impossible to breathe. Katrina snaps out of her daze and pushes Aaron's chest.

Katrina feels angry and depressed.
