“Aaron, are you here to pick up Yvette?” said the middle–aged woman, dressed like a wealthy socialite. She pushed the younger girl beside her forward.
The two stood between Aaron and Diana, forcing Aaron to retract his hand awkwardly.
Seeing Aaron staring at Diana, the middle–aged woman couldn’t help but ask, “Aaron, do you know her?”
“She is the daughter of my teacher,” Aaron replied politely.
Hearing this, the middle–aged woman burst into laughter. “Aaron, did I hear that right? Can a teacher raise such an ill- mannered daughter?”
“What did you say?” Diana raised her hand to slap the woman, but Aaron caught it mid–air.
As their eyes locked. Diana stubbornly said, “If you don’t let go, I slap you too.”
Aaron grabbed Diana’s wrist, pulled her back a few steps to create some distance from the other two women, and then released Diana.
Ellie took the jacket from Aaron and tried to put it on Diana, but Diana yanked it off and threw it away.
Ellie looked at Aaron.
“Aaron, I’m not saying your teacher is terrible, but you see her attitude,” the middle–aged woman said.
She pulled her sister, pointed at Diana, and said, “She got drunk in a bar in the middle of the night, beat up Yvette and her friends, and ended up in jail.
“Not only does she not regret it, but she also wants to slap me. What does that say about her upbringing?”
“You should feel honored to be slapped by me.” Diana’s temper flared, and she pushed Ellie aside, grabbed the middle–aged woman’s hair, and slapped her.
The sharp sound of the slap and the woman’s scre
created chaos.
“Diana, stop.” Seeing both the other women being beaten by Diana, Ellie tried to intervene, but she was no match for Diana, who was good at boxing.
Reluctantly, Aaron stepped in and restrained Diana.
“Aaron, you jerk!” Diana was locked from behind by Aaron, unable to move or break free, and could only curse.
“Aaron, how could she be so unreasonable?” said the young woman named Yvette.
Seeing his blind date come over, Aaron warned her, “Stay back, or she might hurt you.”
Yvette, frightened, stopped in her tracks.
When Diana saw Aaron care for the other woman, her eyes welled up with tears, and she struggled even harder.
Aaron kept Diana restrained and said to the two women, “I apologize on her behalf. Please go home, and I will go to visit you later to explain.”
“I don’t mind a little grievance, I’ll wait for you at home,” Yvette said, wisely pulling her older sister away

Once the two women had left, Aaron finally released Diana,
“You jerk!” Diana threw her bag at Aaron, who easily dodged it.
“Diana, calm down, and let’s talk this through,” Ellie said,
She stepped forward but got pushed aside by Diana. “Ellie, get out of my way.
Ellie stumbled backward and was caught by Aaron. “Stay back, Aaron said.
On the sidewalk opposite the police station, Ellie quickly moved out of the way when she watched as Diana and Aaron started fighting.

Diana kept attacking, while Aaron kept dodging. Diana cursed, but Aaron remained silent, making Ellie feel both worried and anxious.
“Do you know how dangerous it is for a girl to be in a bar in the middle of the night?” Aaron said.
“You got drunk, got into a fight, and now you’re lashing out. Can’t you just talk things through?” he added.
Aaron grabbed Diana again.
Realizing she couldn’t break free from Aaron, Diana cried out in frustration, “I can drink as much as I want and slap whoever I want. It’s none of your business.”
Aaron replied, “Diana, you’re a grown–up. Even if you’re acting out, there should be some limits.
“Mr. Declan Grant called me several times this morning. He is worried about you. You should have let your family know if you weren’t coming home last night.”
“It was that girl’s friend who tried to take advantage of me when I was drunk. I had every right to fight back. If my brothers find out, they will deal with them.” Diana sobbed, breaking free from Aaron’s grip.
Hearing this, Aaron softened his expression and slowly released Diana.
Aaron said, “Diana, before you blame others, you need to reflect on your own actions. As an adult, you should be responsible for your behavior. If you hadn’t gone to the bar and gotten drunk, no one would have had the chance to hurt you.”
Díana pushed Aaron away and said, “You just care about your blind date’s feelings. Fine. I’m standing right here. Do you want to hit me back for her?”
Aaron frowned. “Diana, even if your family spoils you, you need to know when to stop. Not everyone will tolerate temper.”
Their eyes met, and Diana’s tears flowed freely.
She stubbornly held her head high, looked into Aaron’s eyes, and then turned and walked away while crying.
Aaron watched Diana’s stubborn back as she left but didn’t chase after her.
“Diana,” Ellie called out, catching up and handing Diana a tissue
At that moment, Quinlee’s car pulled up to the curb.
“I’m fine, Ellie,” Diana said, getting into Quinlee’s car.
When Ellie returned, Aaron was still standing in the same spot.

“Aaron, weren’t your words a bit harsh?” Ellie asked.
“If she keeps acting this way, she’s going to get herself into real trouble,” Aaron replied.
Ten minutes later, Quinlee watched as Diana, still tear–stained, gobbled down an omelet.

Quinlee said cautiously, “Aaron had a blind date. I heard he still couldn’t move on from his first love. He has someone in his heart and another dating. How could he care about you?”
Diana said disfluently with her mouth full, “I don’t care about him.
Quinlee said, “I was watching from a distance just now. That girl Aaron was on a blind date with seemed quite clingy, just like his old flame.
“It looks like he still can’t get over his first love. I heard he even had the wedding ring ready. What you can’t have is always the best. That is said right.”
Quinlee carefully observed Diana’s worsening expression and smirked inwardly.
She thought, ‘As long as I am around, Aaron and Diana will never end up together.’
“Slow down. Don’t get choked.” As Diana was still eating her omelet, Aaron handed her a bag of milk through the car window.
Diana ignored it, so Aaron handed Diana’s bag to Quinlee along with the milk.
Aaron glanced at Diana who was quietly eating, then turned and left, and Ellie silently followed him back to the car.
Ellie could tell that because of her feelings for Aaron, Diana wanted his favor and protection instead of rational discussion.
Besides, because of Declan, Aaron cared for and looked after Diana, but only within the bounds of friendship.
Now, they were completely out of sync, and conflicts were inevitable.
That night, after having dinner at the Thompson residence, Ellie returned to the Warren Manor quite late.
After coming out of Carlos’s room, Ellie went straight upstairs to rest.
“Why are you back so late?” At the top of the
stairs, Alex suddenly hopped in front of her, startling Ellie.
