'Why?' Jordan will never dare to say he couldn't face Aarvi nor he could hide it if she becomes a part of the family. Revealing the truth is the same as losing Aaron forever.
He took steps to leave without answering. He needed time to mull over it and he didn't really like Aarvi to be part of the Rivas family either.
Aaron's voice sounded frosty uttering each word clearly, "Walk away, you will never see me here again."
Megan held Aaron's arm to stop him helplessly, "Aaron..."
Jordan roared, "Aaron." Nine years back or present, he couldn't believe they still argued for the same girl.
Aaron didn't yield and maintained his eye contact where Jordan again failed to look him in the eye right after remembering Aarvi's oppressing gaze. He did what was best for them but the guilt of hiding it from Aaron crept up.
