Just as Aron was about to enter the door, he almost bumped into Zoey who was rushing forward with her head down. Startled and at a loss, he looked toward Evelyn with a questioning gaze, wondering who this was.
Evelyn could only offer a shrug, she didn’t have all the answers either.
Zoey, still looking down, finally raised her head, about to clear up the confusion. The moment she saw Aron, her face transformed, eyes brimming with tears, leaving Aron completely bewildered by her reaction.
“Dylan Zoey looked at Aron with fascination in her eyes.
Upon hearing this, Aron did not understand the situation and looked at her curiously.
Zoey blinked back her tears, recovering quickly. Her smile broke through, dimples and all, as she corrected herself. “Ah. Aron
As Zoey spoke, she turned her head and smiled at Evelyn, then glanced at Aron and shook his hand generously. After Zoey left, Evelyn said with a smile, “Aron, a cute girl came to your door. Why didn’t you seize the chance?” “What are you talking about? Evelyn, is this girl here to see you!
Evelyn widened her eyes and shook her head. Then she told him everything that had happened in the morning.
“Is she Dylan’s ex-girlfriend?” asked Evelyn
Upon thinking of Zoey’s bashful and joyous expression at the mention of Dylan. Evelyn couldn’t help but entertain a rather reasonable suspicion.
“Impossible” Aron’s usually gentle expression disappeared, replaced by anger all over him. He let out a loud shout, startling Evelyn.
This was the first time Evelyn had seen Aron with an angry expression on his face, and she felt apprehensive inside. Did she say something wrong?
“Aron?” Evelyn carefully called out to Aron.
After his outburst, Aron retreated to a corner, his voice softened with remorse. “Evelyn, I’m sorry.”
Upon seeing Evelyn frightened by him, Aron couldn’t help but feel secretly annoyed.
Evelyn, seemingly shaken, caught the flicker of annoyance across Aron’s face. “Ah, it’s okay, Aron. No need to apologize-it was my bad for bringing it up, she quickly said, positioning herself on the bottom stair to be eye-level with Aron
They locked eyes, a silent understanding passing between them. After a moment, Aron’s voice, rough with emotion, broke the stillness. “My brother… he passed away a while back. Along with my parents. So…”
So Dylan could never be Zoey’s ex
Evelyn was stunned for a while. Did Harold, Joss, and Dylan all die?
When Evelyn stayed in Forest Residences before, she had always been puzzled that she rarely saw the Quinn family. Since she married Caleb, she came back even less often and naturally was unaware of the reasons behind it.
Before today, she always thought it was because Aron was too away from his parents, so he wouldn’t go back to visit them. She didn’t expect the truth to be like this.

Evelyn walked down the stairs with a heartache and touched Aron’s hair, as if to comfort him.
Aron closed the door awkwardly, sat on the sofa, and pondered for a moment. “Zoey? Dylan was only 13 years old when he died. How could he possibly have been in love already?”
“I don’t think it’s possible either.” Evelyn also realized it and frowned. If Dylan was really in love, he couldn’t be in love with at little girl.
How old was Zoey then? It was impossible.
So, what exactly was going on with the sudden appearance of Zoey?
