Rita turned around and saw a tall and straight gentleman who was dressed in formal suit. His calm face
with light smile got frozen at the moment when he saw Rita and Aaron together.
His gentleness and indifferent expression remained the same, with a faint smile hanging on the corner
of his mouth. Magee was aloof and elegant in a way as if he was an abstinent person, and nobody was
able to take eyes off him.
He was totally different from Aaron, who was evil and unpredictable.
Rita and Magee looked into each other's eyes and they both felt so embarrassed. All of a sudden,
many complex thoughts crowded into Rita's mind. She had imagined the possible scenes that the two
of them met again for countless times, but she did not expect that it would be so embarrassing.
Magee hadn't contacted her since he came back. He must know what had happened between her and
Aaron. What would he do? What would he think of her?
Rita could not help but lower her head, with a flash of indescribable sadness in her eyes, which was
captured by Aaron. Aaron then looked at Magee, and stood up to greet him, "Mr. Magee, long time no
see."
"Long time no see," said Magee indifferently.
Yvonne jogged Magee's arm with her elbow and said, "Sister Rita is engaged to Mr. Aaron. Brother,
you must congratulate her!"
Rita took a deep breath and looked up into Magee's eyes. She forced a smile to control the turmoil in
her heart.
Aaron glanced at them and said with an evil smile, "Mr. Magee, you must attend our wedding."
"Sure."
Magee kept looking at Rita. His eyes were used to be indifferent and gentle, but now they were full of
pain. His smile became bitter. "I didn't expect that you are engaged since I have gotten away for less
than half a year."
Noticing the disappointment in his eyes, Rita stuttered for a while but could not say a complete word.
"Nothing would stop the conjugal fate," said Yvonne, trying to stir up the trouble. "Am I right, sister Rita?
I thought you would be my sister-in-law, but I didn't expect you to be engaged to Mr. Aaron so soon. Mr.
Aaron, you don't know about the story of my brother and sister Rita, right? They grew up together since
childhood, and they were very close when they were in school." Yvonne smiled strangely. "I thought my
brother would get married with sister Rita. But shortly after he left, she became Mr. Aaron's woman."
Rita knew that Yvonne was mocking her on purpose, but she didn't say anything and just let Yvonne
say it.
Aaron's cold eyes swept over Yvonne quickly, and grinned playfully, "Riri and Mr. Magee are not
boyfriend and girlfriend, and Riri has the right to make her own choice. Right, Mr. Magee?"
Aaron's eyes were dangerous, with a sense of killing and contempt.
Yvonne didn't expect that Aaron would stand out again to help Rita. Last time at the banquet, he helped
Rita out and even announced his relationship with Rita in front of everyone. Did he really fall in love
with Rita?
No, this was impossible. They had only known each other for a short time, and the behavior of Aaron
was usually very strange. He must have his purpose in doing so, or he just felt it interesting.
"Mr. Aaron, sister Rita is indeed not my brother's girlfriend, but she and my brother both find each other
congenial for so many years. Don't you mind that at all?" What Yvonne said only added insult to injury.
Rita couldn't bear it anymore and glared at Yvonne, saying, "Magee and I are good friends. We grew
up together. What are you talking about the bullshit of congenial thing? Stop talking nonsense."
"You're deceiving yourself," said Yvonne, rolling her eyes. "Who believes it? I know very well what's
going on between you two."
Rita didn't want to talk with Yvonne any more, and she even wanted to fall out with her.
"Yvonne." Magee lowered his voice and looked back at her as a warning.
Yvonne was always afraid of her brother, so she had only to whisper, "I'm telling the truth."
"Well, go back for dinner. Don't bother others."
Magee said goodbye to Rita and Aaron politely and took Yvonne away.
Rita's eyes followed his back, as if she was reluctant to let him go.
"Do you like him?"
When Magee went far away, Aaron sneered, "It's said that Mr. Magee has been a celibate for many
years because of a woman. So it is you."
"A celibate?" Rita was so surprised that she was almost spitting out the water. "Where did you hear that
gossip?"
"These days' news are all talking about these." Aaron's long, slender fingers played with a glass of red
wine, laughing. He continued, "Your love story with Magee has been almost written into a novel."
"What novel? It's all hearsay!" Rita could not help feeling angry, not knowing whether be angry at Aaron
or at herself.
She could not control her feelings, but she had to control her marriage rationally. She had no choice but
to marry Aaron.
"It seems it is right," Aaron looked at her with his deep eyes for a while, saying, "that you really like him
so much."
"You are very gossipy!" Rita interrupted him. "You are a man. How can you be so gossipy? It has
nothing to do with you whom I like. What's the relationship between you and me? Even if we are
engaged, we are not married. What's more, we are not familiar enough to interfere with each other's
private life."
"You can interfere in my private life. I don't mind," shrugging his shoulders, Aaron said indifferently. "I
am curious about the story between you and Magee. After all, Magee he..."
