Chapter 3 Sister-In-Law

“Your sister is old enough to come home by herself,” Aaron complained.

“How would you know? Do you know how dangerous it is outside? It’s not safe for a girl to go out alone. Even someone as unassuming as a taxi driver could be a murderer. Nowhere is truly safe. Just go now and stop arguing with me.” Marisa said impatiently.

Aaron nodded resignedly. He had to leave just after he got home.

Luckily, Marisa was not all bad. Seeing that Aaron was still very sickly, she finally said softly, “You don’t have to get groceries and cook today. You can take a rest after picking her up.”

Aaron did not respond, he just opened the door and left.

Marisa’s younger sister was Bailee Melendez. According to the diary, her grades were very good. She went to the best school in New York State and the school was not too far away.

Aaron managed to find the school after asking for directions.

Aaron suddenly remembered that he had never seen Bailee before. Just as he was wondering how to find her, he heard someone talking to him from afar. “Aaron? Why are you here? Aren’t you dead?”

Aaron looked behind him and saw a girl who resembled Marisa standing there. She looked 16 years old, and she still had childlike facial features. But she had become more shapely, especially when she was wearing a school uniform.

However, she looked more arrogant than her sister. At least Marisa restrained herself a little, but Bailee’s disgust and disdain were all over her face.

“I’m discharged today. Your sister asked me to pick you up.” Aaron scratched his head and looked around. All the other school kids were looking at him mockingly.

Bailee snorted and said, “I’m having dinner with my friends today. I’m not going home with you. You can go now.”

Aaron was about to say yes when he remembered that if he went home without Bailee, he would definitely get a scolding from Marisa. Moreover, Marisa’s worry was not unfounded. It was not safe for a girl to stay out too late. So Aaron said, “Why don’t you reschedule? Your sister is cooking tonight, surely she will prepare dishes you like.”

“My sister is cooking?” Bailee was shocked. “Then I have one more reason not to go home. Are you dumb? Don’t you know how disgusting my sister’s cooking is?”

Hearing this, Aaron became even more embarrassed. For a moment, he didn’t dare to go back. After thinking for a while, he said, “But I can’t let you stay outside alone.”

“Fine, come with me if you’re really that shameless. It’s not your first time anyway.” Bailee crossed her arms over her chest and cursed before turning around to leave.

Aaron had no choice but to follow.

“Bailee, why is this man following you again?” At the supermarket not far away, there were two girls waiting for Bailee. When the short-haired girl who was happily chatting saw Aaron, she immediately put on a face and asked Bailee angrily.

“He wanted to die but he couldn’t even do it right, so now he’s here to annoy me.” Bailee shrugged as if she had no other choice.

Aaron was standing not far away and did not go any closer to them. He just listened to them talked rebelliously and did not take it to heart.

The three girls stood in front of the supermarket and chatted for a while. Suddenly, Bailee waved Aaron over and said, “Aaron, buy me three drinks in the grocery over there.”

Aaron nodded. He was very embarrassed when he suddenly realised that he didn’t have any money on him.

The three girls immediately laughed out loud when they saw this. Bailee then said, “I know you never have any money on you. Take this.” As she spoke, she took out ten dollars from her purse and handed it to Aaron.

Aaron asked resignedly, “What do you want to drink?”

Bailee waved her hand and said, “Just get us coke.” She ignored him and continued chatting with her friends.

Aaron then walked into the supermarket.

As soon as Aaron entered the supermarket, the three girls left. As they walked, the short-haired girl said, “This guy is really stupid. He fell for the same trick twice. We can still use this trick to get rid of him next time.”

“Now you know why my sister and I both said that he was useless, right?” Bailee laughed as she walked.

Soon, Aaron walked out of the supermarket with three bottles of coke in hand, but he didn’t see the girls. He became a bit annoyed. He had lost his memory, which was why he fell for the dumbest trick in the world.

Aaron knew that he couldn’t go back alone or Marissa would kill him. Aaron was in a bad mood so he closed his eyes and tried to feel the world through his own perception. For a moment, he seemed to be able to hear the sound from a distance, at least within the one-kilometre radius from where he was standing.

He quickly found Bailee’s location from the voices and chased after her.

Soon, Aaron ran into an alley and saw that Bailee and the other two girls were surrounded by a few gangsters.

“Little girl, stop your nonsense and just take out all your money.” One of the gangsters threw Bailee’s school bag onto the ground while reaching out his other hand to her chest. Luckily, Bailee instinctively took two steps back, otherwise, the gangster would have touched her.

“I don’t care about the money. Just take the money and get lost!” Bailee was bold. She stood in front of the other two girls to protect them.

“Oh? You are feisty, I love it. Why don’t the three of you just come with us? We surely will give you a good time.” The leader of the gangsters smiled pervertedly.

While he was talking, the other gangsters had already cornered the three girls and were about to catch them.

Seeing this, Aaron was relieved that he finally had someone to take his frustration out on. He darted in front of the three girls and said, “I said, young men, you already got the money, isn’t that enough? If you take it any further, you might not be able to handle the consequences.”

The gangsters were taken by surprise because Aaron appeared out of nowhere. The leader of the gangsters was the first to come to his senses. He pointed at Aaron and yelled, “Who the f*ck are you? Are you trying to scare me? I can do whatever I want! I can’t handle the consequences? Let me teach you a lesson”

Before he could finish his words, Aaron already sent him flying with a swift kick. Finally, he landed and slammed into a steel pipe behind him.

Aaron moved so fast that no one saw what exactly happened. It was not until the man groaned on the ground in pain that they realized what had happened.

“Alright, all of you, get lost.” Aaron’s gaze swept across the crowd. He could easily tell that these people were all cowards who stayed in a group for courage. None of them actually dared to fight, not to mention that none of them could rival Aaron anyway.

After a few seconds of silence, the group of gangsters scattered in an instant. Not even a single one of them went to help their leader who was still lying on the ground.

Seeing that everyone had run away, Aaron turned around and asked Bailee, “Are you okay?”

All of a sudden, all three of them blushed almost instantaneously. They looked at each other and Bailee even saw some admiration in her friends’ eyes.
