Chapter 989
Aaron had left, and Selena had no idea where he'd gone.
She wasn't familiar with the area or the island's language-it wasn't one she knew.
Sitting by the enormous floor-to-ceiling window, she hugged her knees, feeling lost and helpless.
She pulled out her phone, thinking about contacting Aveline, but it was the middle of the night back in their
country. Aveline was pregnant and definitely asleep. Selena didn't want to disturb her. What could she do? Who
could help her?
Without being able to find Aaron, she couldn't even attempt to apologize.
Biting her lip, she unlocked her phone and stared at the transactions from "Foolish Aaron" she had saved over
time. After tallying them up, she transferred all the money back to him.
Selena wrote, "I've returned all the money. Please don't be mad anymore, okay?"
The message was sent, but it was like throwing a stone into the ocean-no response.
"Sigh..."

Even paying him back didn't work. What was she supposed to do now?
On the other side of the island, Aaron sat at the edge of a cliff, looking at the message on his phone. His lips
twitched in frustration.
She actually thought that paying him back would settle everything!
No, wait! Did she think he was angry because she owed him money?
This woman!
Aaron felt a strange mix of amusement and anger. After the initial burst of frustration, he sighed deeply in
exasperation.
He began thinking about their past.
Every t"Snow" reached out to him, it had been after he'd put Selena in a difficult spot. She was quick to
retaliate-never one to hold a grudge for long.
The thought made him smile.
The sea breeze swept across him, clearing away the irritation in his mind. Although he wasn't mad anymore, he
wasn't about to forgive her so easily either. She needed to understand the seriousness of her actions!
Around noon, Aaron finally returned.
Hearing the door, Selena
immediately stood up. But she had
been sitting too long, and her legs
were numb. In her rush, she lost her balance and twisted her ankle, falling straight to the floor
"Ouch!" she yelped, immediately clutching her ankle as a sharp pain shot through her. Aaron heard the noise.
At first, he thought it was just one of her tricks and didn't plan to pay attention. But concern got the better of
him, and he walked over to check. As soon as he saw her, the cold expression on his face crumbled.
Rushing over, he knelt beside her, inspecting her ankle. "What happened?"
"My legs went numb, and I lost my balance. I think I twisted my ankle... it really hurts," Selena said pitifully, her
eyes already welling up with tears.
It wasn't an act-she was genuinely in pain.

Aaron gently pressed on her ankle, and she winced, pulling back instinctively as tears rolled down her cheeks.
At that moment, it felt like something tightened around Aaron's heart, making it hard for him to breathe.
"How can you be so clumsy?" he scolded her, his voice low as he glared at her. Then he scooped her up and
carefully placed her on the sofa before making a phone call.
Selena silently let her tears fall.
She wasn't the type to cry easily.
In fact, she was usually carefree, never letting much bother her.
But today, she felt terrible.
Aaron had been ignoring her, and it was eating away at her, making her restless and anxious. She wanted so
badly to explain everything to him but feared he would stay angry.
Now, the physical pain seemed to break down the emotional walls she had been struggling to keep up. She felt
fragile, unlike her usual self.
In the past, she had often seen Aveline go through this-feeling insecure and unsettled in love.
Now, it was happening to her too.
What should she do?
Had she really fallen so deeply under Aaron's spell?
