Chapter 169

"Aria!" Zach called out to Aria from outside the house.

After a few seconds, Aria came out with Aurora and asked, "What happened?"

"Come with me for a second," Zach said with a serious look on his face.

"Uhh.." Aria shot a glance at Aurora and said, "Me alone?"

"Yes," Zach nodded.

"Okay"

Aurora went back into the house again to help Misha cook dinner, and Zach took Aria to the farm where no one was around.

Zach was walking ahead, and Aria was slowly following him behind.

Zach looked back to see Aria squirming while walking.

"Stop fidgeting like an innocent girl," Zach remarked.

"Why" Aria turned her face to the side and asked, "Why did you call me out here on the farm where no one is around?"

"What are you doing?" Zach groaned. "Open your eyes. I want to show you something."

"..." Aria opened her eyes and looked at Zach's hand to see a strange symbol on the back of his palm near the thumb area.

She raised her brows and said, "Can I touch it?"

"Sure." Aria inspected the symbol and asked, "When did you get this?"

"I am not sure, but I think I got it after what happened in the bathroom today," Zach replied.

"Are you sure?" Aria asked with a judging look on her face. "Since you always had gloves on, maybe you didn't notice this before?"

Zach pondered for a while and nodded after saying, "Yeah. Because when I fingered Aurora and squeezed her boobs, there was no mark on my hand."

"..." Aria didn't like how Zach came to a con
