There was a burning pain in his face, which made Aaron stumble and almost lose his balance.
He stepped back a little and stood up straight. His glasses were knocked out of place. He pushed his glasses and straightened them up. Only then did he clearly see that it was Jodie who hit him.
Aaron frowned and was rather surprised, but he did not show his anger. He just narrowed his eyes and asked, "Jodie, why are you here?"
His tone was hesitant, but his expression seemed to be calm, as if he knew the reason why.
It seemed like he must have guessed why she was there.
Jodie sneered. "Why am I here? Aaron, I want to ask you the same question too."
"You should ask Heinz instead of me," he said indifferently without showing any hint of apology or feelings at her appearance.
"Then, let me ask you." Jodie heckled angrily, "Why is my video on your computer? Why did you secretly keep my things and then ask me why?"
"Indeed, I picked up that thing," Aaron said slowly. "I admit I have my selfish motives in keeping this thing. It was just a means of protecting myself."
"What are you protecting yourself from?" She knitted her brows and scolded, "I think you're up to no good."
He was not angry. He just calmly pointed out, "You came back to life. This is a relief. At first, I was very sorry about your death, but you didn't die. I felt relieved right away."
"Stop pretending to be such a 'responsible' person." She sneered, "I know what you're thinking. You don't have any good intentions at all."
"Jodie, be reasonable." He said in a husky voice, "You came back and looked for me again. You still want to maintain the same relationship with me, but after I saw this, I was no longer in the mood anymore."
"Aaron, you are talking nonsense." She was infuriated. "On the night of our reunion in Alsburg, you lingered with me and said these things. Why didn't you say these when you slept with me?"
"Disgusting," Aaron scoffed with contempt in his eyes. "If you didn't mention it, I wouldn't have felt so disgusted, but now that you have, I realized how disgusting you are. After watching the video of you with another man, do you know how much I regretted sleeping with you?"
Being humiliated, Jodie's face was pale and she felt very uncomfortable. It was the first time that she had been mocked by Aaron like this. He hated her so much.
This was a deep blow.
She raised her eyes and clenched her fists. Her eyes were sharp. She stared at him coldly and said, "If you regret it, why were you so enthusiastic in the beginning? You took the initiative, Aaron."
She couldn't hold it in any longer and she threw herself at him.
Aaron lifted his foot hastily.
"Ouch!" Jodie's knee was kicked, and she suddenly knelt on the ground and looked at him in fear. Her knee bone was so painful that she could not bear it. She cried out again.
"Aaron, you are so cruel."
"You’re the cruel one." He stood in front of her and looked down at her; she was kneeling in front of him. There was a bloodthirstiness in his eyes, "Jodie, you still don't understand how bad and disgusting you are?" Aaron asked.
Jodie gasped in pain. He had almost broken her kneecap by kicking her.
She felt petrified and glanced at him in disbelief. He was so harsh, and his kick was so swift and fierce.
