Chapter 31

She chewed the beef with a toothache expression, not faking it at all.
"I really didn't lie to you just now, I truly think Aaron's temper stinks to high heaven, no one can stand it, anyway, I think I can't stand it, if we really get together, we will definitely have to fight every day."
Sophia didn't understand her feelings at all and subconsciously defended Aaron: "He's not that bad-tempered and considerate, but sometimes he's a bit overbearing."
Selina gave her a hard look and sighed heavily, "So it's me who doesn't deserve it!"
Sophia was a little embarrassed.
"Don't misunderstand, I didn't mean to say your husband is not good." Selina teased, "I know you guys are affectionate and sweet and can't leave each other for a moment."
Sophia blushed, wanted to defend but felt there was nothing to defend, so she could only shut her mouth.
Selina saw that she was thin-skinned and snickered a little, kindly deciding not to tease her anymore.
"Our engagement was set by Aaron's father, and I believe you know from others that Aaron's mother is from the White Moon tribe, and the old king happens to be good friends with my father, which is what hardened the two of us together as a couple."
Selina bristled, disapproving of the elders' decision.
"Aaron and I grew up together, playing like brothers, I know how many moles he has on his buttocks, how can we have feelings for a brother who grew up playing together with bare buttocks, it's good that we don't fight."
Sophia's expression was a bit unnatural, she just followed Selina's words and subconsciously thought about whether Aaron had any moles on his buttocks.
Selina did not know her mental activities, misunderstood the meaning of her expression, and hurriedly explained: "That was when we were three or four years old, I really don't know how many moles he has on his buttocks now."
"I'm not ......" Sophia explained awkwardly, and after seeing Selina's eyes that clearly said I understand everything, she closed her mouth with a tired heart.
Well, misunderstanding is misunderstanding, she can't really tell Selina that she was just remembering Aaron's buttocks with a few moles, right?
She can't really tell Selina that she was just reminiscing about the moles on Aaron's buttocks.
Selina handed her a reassuring look and continued, "At first, we didn't have the heart to tell our elders for fear of their disapproval and sadness, until after Aaron's parents died in a coup, we decided that we must break off the engagement."
Her expression was a bit sad, unlike Sophia and the others who had only heard about it, Selina was also someone who had really experienced it, and that incident had left too deep a mark on her heart.
"We only have so much time in our lives, maybe one day an accident will happen, we don't want to waste our limited time on people we don't love, it would be irresponsible to each other."
"Aaron and I do have feelings, but that's only as friends, we haven't been able to fall in love with each other after all these years together, much less for marriage, that's why we decided to break off our engagement."
She held Sophia's hand and looked at her sincerely, "I know that with Aaron's nature, he must not have told you about these past events, because they are not important to him at all, only the present you are the most important to him."
"But also as a woman, I know you must be uncomfortable in your heart, if it were me, I would be the same, so I tell you everything, I hope you don't care about this, and don't listen to those false stories from other people's mouths."
She was suddenly a little shy and her voice was a little smaller: "Because I also like you a lot and would love to be your friend."
Sophia was a little stunned and finally couldn't help but laugh after seeing her look of not knowing what to do.
She held Selina's hand back and completely let go of the unpleasant things in her heart, smiling sweetly at her.
"Aren't we already friends?"
The afternoon sun was warm and shone warmly on her body. Aaron finished his political affairs and went to look for Sophia and Selina, and as soon as he entered the flower room, he saw two figures lying side by side on the beaten recliner.
The sun was shining on them. Selina was so sleepy that she could barely keep her eyes open and was still holding on to tell Sophia about Aaron's little problems and embarrassing stories.
"Aaron is allergic to onions, and when he eats them, he gets a red rash on his body, which is particularly scary.
Sophia leaned over and asked her with a smile, "And then what happened? Did you get punished."
"Of course not." Selina muttered, "the guy is still righteous, did not give me up, only said that he had accidentally eaten onions, I was particularly touched, the next day gave him a durian bread he especially do not like to eat, the result of the old beast on the spot I deliberately gave him to eat onions out, causing me to be chased by my father with a stick for three blocks. "
Selina is very indignant: "He obviously concealed it for me, I was just excited to send the wrong gift, he is so harmful to me, we are even this feud."
Sophia was amused by her laughing, Aaron was a bit helpless, this is all a long time ago, but she is rehashed to flog him.
"You do not know how many problems he has, do not eat what people have touched, even accidentally take a clean fork on the side of his plate, he will let people re-serve a copy, but also picky food, this does not eat that, fine."
"Would that be so?" Sophia said doubtfully, "But I've eaten on the same plate as him, and he's eaten things I've bitten into."
Selina snorted disdainfully, "That's you, if at my place, I had someone serve something he didn't like, he could have just lifted the plate in front of me, spoiling his stink."
"That's also because you have a good relationship, he will show his true nature in front of you." Sophia continued to speak for him.
Selina said earnestly, "I beg him, don't treat me as an acquaintance, be polite to me, I'm afraid I really can't help fighting with him one day."
She moved to find a comfortable position and continued, "I remember once we went to play in the woods, not long after the rain, there was a mud pit in the woods, the two of us were not convinced and wanted to compete, but he was inattentive and plunged headfirst into the mud pit, or I pulled him out."
Selina hammered the chair in anger: "He went back and bit me, saying that I caused him to fall into the pit, so that I was almost hung up and beaten by my father!"
"You just don't know, at that time ......"
Although he was happy to see Sophia getting along well with Selina, Aaron really couldn't listen to Selina going over his old scores, and if he went on, he was afraid Sophia was going to know when he had last wet the bed.
So he hurried over, called out to Sophia, and when she looked back, lowered his head and plugged her mouth, taking a ten-minute kiss in front of Selina.
Selina immediately sobered up and jumped up from the recliner in great disgust, staying away from him.
"I didn't expect ah, after so long absence, you have gone from being sexually indifferent to an old beast in heat at any time." Selina looked at Sophia, whose lips were slightly swollen, and said pityingly, "It's hard for you."
"Get lost!" Aaron said in no good humor, holding Sophia on his lap and sneering at her, "What were you guys talking about, say it so I can be happy too."
Selina rolled her eyes and refused, "We can't be happy with you, why are you here?"
"I'm here to see if you've taught my Sophia a lesson," Aaron said, not at all politely, and Selina was so angry that she wanted to throw a stool at his head.
Unfortunately, she didn't dare.
She rubbed her chin regretfully, feeling that she was a bit of an eyesore staying here, and happily decided to go out and have some fun on her own.
She waved her hand with her back to them and popped out cheerfully.
"You guys have a good time cultivating your relationship, don't mind me, I'm going out shopping, I'll be back later."
After driving Selina away, Aaron was in a good mood to hug her and lie down again, seeing her worried expression, he explained, "She knows here better than her family, don't worry about her, her own people will follow her secretly."
"But, isn't that not good." Sophia turned around a bit into a position facing him, "She is a guest after all."
Aaron pressed her head to his chest and yawned, "Forget about her, just rest with me for a while, I'm so tired."
Aaron's breath gradually became long, Sophia nestled in his arms, but thought of other things.
Aaron had never told her about it, as if he had ever been married, and it made Sophia feel a little uncomfortable.
The thought that he would still like her if she wasn't his mate popped into her head again. This thought was like a burning weed, growing more and more ferocious.
She fell asleep with such a thought, and slept very uneasily, but still slept until the afternoon.
Selina came back very late indeed. She came back with a big bag of things when the palace had already started preparing dinner, and mysteriously said that she had brought a gift for Sophia and would send it to her after dinner.
Sophia was a bit curious.
Aaron held a glass of wine and said politely to the guests from the White Moon Wolf Pack, "You came in too much of a hurry, and it was too late to prepare anything, so we can only condescend to eat a little casually."
Selina also pretended to be serious: "No condescension, no condescension, everything is good in the palace, and it's our fault that we came without greeting."
The two of them pretended to be polite for a few minutes, both of them couldn't pretend anymore, Aaron didn't have much expression on his face and drank the wine in his cup clean, looking a bit disgusted.
Selina wasn't much better, stuffing a mouthful of food with a wicked chill.
"Forget it forget it." Selina muttered, "I'm really not fit to say such polite words, it's too disgusting."
Sophia held back her laughter and greeted the others as they ate, and there was harmony at the table.
After eating, the servant set hot tea in front of everyone, Selina's attendant ignored Selina's glare and bowed very firmly to Aaron, stating another purpose for coming here.
"Your Majesty, the patriarch asked us to say hello for him, the patriarch he would like to trouble you with one thing, see if you can help our lady find a reliable man, it is also a solution to a piece of our patriarch's heartache."
Selina's face turned green.
"Don't listen to his nonsense! I don't want it!" Selina said with a blue face, looking at him warningly.
Aaron all but ignored it and said to his attendant very kindly, "Of course it's no problem, tomorrow I'll have someone make a list, you take your young lady to visit the noble sons of the royal family, if there's one you like, I'll definitely help."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The attendant was relieved, saluted him joyfully, and took the people down.
