He thought, ‘Good thing I’ve won Aria’s heart. With these two sweethearts around, my own cooking isn’t even needed anymore!
Lily set down the plates with a grin. “We’re totally bribable–just give us good food. Right, Aria?”
Aria nodded with a smile. “Totally, who could ever say no to delicious food?”
Owen smiled contentedly.
Aria turned and headed toward her room. “I’ll go get changed,” she said casually.
Just then, both Lily and Pearl couldn’t help but notice the obviously oversized men’s shirt hanging loosely or Aria.
The two girls exchanged a knowing look–a silent understanding passing between them as they both pretended not to have seen anything.
While changing, Aria glanced at the vanity mirror and muttered, “Is he a dog or something?”
‘Should’ve bitten him harder. That was way too soft.‘
‘Oh well,‘ she thought, ‘I started it, and I was the one being pleasured–can’t really complain.!
After breakfast, Owen went to work while Aria started treating Pearl’s facial scars, with Lily assisting.
Pearl lay on the treatment bed, her hands unconsciously clenched tightly together out of nervousness.
Noticing her unease, Aria gently stroked her hair and reassured her, “I’ll make this quick.”
“It’s fine, Aria,” she said, trying to sound brave. “I’m not afraid of pain.”
Aria instructed Lily to light the candle. She sterilized the fire needle in the flame until it turned red–hot, then carefully inserted it into the scar on Pearl’s face, swiftly withdrew it, and repeated the process several times.
Before long, tiny beads of blood began to ooze from the scar on Pearl’s face.
Lily’s heart clenched as she watched, her face clouded with concern.
Aria gave a reassuring smile and said, “Don’t worry. A little bleeding is perfectly normal.”
Pearl murmured softly, “It doesn’t hurt much, just a little.”
Lily nodded, a wave of relief washing over her.
Aria picked up a sterile cotton ball and gently pressed it against the needle marks to stop the bleeding. Once the bleeding had stopped, she carefully applied a thin layer of healing ointment over the scar. “All done,” she said with a reassuring smile.
Pearl sat up, surprised to find that her cheek no longer hurt, Instead, it just felt cool and numb.
“Aria, will I need frequent treatments?” asked Pearl
Aria nodded and explained, “We’ll start with weekly sessions, then gradually space them out. A shampoo chair will be delivered soon–either Lily or I will help you wash your hair. When you shower, try to keep the treated area dry, and remember to reapply the ointment afterward.”
Pearl nodded sweetly. “Thanks, Aria.”
In the Saxon family, Silvia plunged into the kitchen, completely absorbed in whipping up desserts.
Zoe found it a bit odd and walked into the kitchen. “Silvia, stop fussing. Let’s go to an exhibition.

“I’ve got plans this afternoon, Mom. Why don’t you ask auntie to go with you?”
Zoe asked, “Who are you meeting with, sweetheart?”
Ever since the switched–at–birth incident, Silvia had lost touch with most of her friends and barely left the house anymore.
Silvia looked conflicted. After a moment’s hesitation, she finally said, “Aria asked to meet me ”
Zoe was taken aback. “Aria asked to meet you?”
Silvia nodded. “Yeah.”
“Can I go with you, sweetheart?” asked Zoe.
Silvia couldn’t bring herself to say no, but she couldn’t help thinking that if her mom came along, Aria might not show up.
Silvia explained, “Aria said she had something important to discuss with me.”
Zoe picked up on Silvia’s tactful refusal. It stung, but she didn’t let it show.
Zoe thought to herself, ‘For Aria to reach out to Silvia on her own, it must be something serious.‘
Having made peace with it, she didn’t press further.
At 3:30 PM, Aria set off to meet Silvia.
She hailed a cab and told the driver, “Just drive around aimlessly and stop after ten minutes.”
The driver found it odd but complied nonetheless.
The cab pulled farther and farther from Mayen Garden. Ten minutes later, it came to a stop.
The street was bustling with food stalls, their tempting aromas filling the air. Aria grabbed a doughnut and ate on the go.
Mandino City was vibrant with friendly people, beautiful scenery, and a warm, welcoming vibe everywhere.
It was just that damn tail behind her was really getting on her nerves
Aria had been tailed since the moment she left Mayen Garden.
