“ Nope , ” Aria said .
“ I have some . Give me ten minutes , ” Owen said .
Without waiting for her response , he shut the door decisively .
Inside , Aria raised an eyebrow , confused .
Outside , the three exchanged bewildered glances , staring at Owen in confusion .
Ignoring the awkward atmosphere , Owen said casually , “ Dad , Mom , Tara , head over to my place first . Let Aria catch up on her sleep , and then you can
come back . ”
James was the first to react . “ She stayed up all night testing the beauty
“ Yeah . ” Owen nodded .
cream ? ”
Emma didn’t even bother with her scarf , her excitement bubbling over as she pushed Owen toward the opposite apartment . “ Hurry ! Let’s make Aria a
nice breakfast . ”
The four of them entered Owen’s apartment .
Owen quickly prepared a simple breakfast . Sandwiches , fried eggs , and warmed milk .
Just as he finished , Aria walked in .
She said , “ I’ll check your faces first . While I catch up on sleep , you can start preparing the ingredients . ”
Tara practically tore off her mask in excitement .
Owen placed the sandwiches on the table and said , “ Eat first . You can check after. ”
Tara quietly put her mask back on, her gaze darting between the two of them with curiosity . She thought , ‘ Weren’t the Shaw brothers supposed to be
cold ? That was not true ! ‘
With all eyes on her , Aria calmly finished her breakfast and washed her hands . She said , “ Alright , let’s get started . ”
Emma and Tara immediately sat in front of her and removed the masks on their faces .
Emma’s face was mostly marked with dark spots , while Tara’s issue was acne .
Aria gently tilted their chins one by one , carefully studying their faces for a long moment before asking , “ Did you bring the medical reports from your
doctors ? ”
“ Yes . ”
They handed over their reports . Aria reviewed them in silence for a while before finally saying , “ Give me a pen and a notebook . ”
Owen quickly handed her a notebook and pen . She took them and quickly wrote down a list of medicinal ingredients . She continued , “ Get the ady
and come here . ”
Emma accepted the list with visible excitement and said , “ Ms. Saxon , I can’t thank you enough ! ”
Tara quickly also showed her gratitude . Then she asked , “ How long will it take to heal our faces ? ”
“ Emma , you’ll need five days . Tara , you’ll need seven . ”

After adding both of them on WhatsApp , Aria returned to her room to catch up on sleep . When she woke up , it was already rout
She freshened up and took her time savoring the new dishes . Afterward , she sent her feedback to Cloe and then sent a message to Enima
Aria : We can start anytime . Others don’t need to come . ]
In less than five minutes , they arrived with the required ingredients .
Aria said , “ Let’s get started right away . ”
Two hours later , Emma and Tara stepped out of Owen’s apartment , their faces wrapped in gauze .
James and Emma naturally stayed over . Tara felt a bit awkward disturbing Aria . So she pleaded with Emma with her eyes and successfully settled in
Just to be cautious , Emma applied an extra two days ‘ worth of medicine for herself .
Over the past seven days , neither of them had dared to look in the mirror even once .
After removing their gauze , Aria said , “ Go wash your faces . You’ll see for yourselves . ”
By now , they had come to understand Aria’s warm heart beneath her cool face . Without hesitation , they dashed into the bathroom . Their excitement was barely contained .
Excited shrieks echoed from the bathroom .
“ Emma , your face looks amazing . So perfect ! ”
“ Your face is perfect too ! Your acne scars are completely gone , and the pores are practically invisible . ”
Hearing their joy , Aria couldn’t help but smile along with them .
When they stepped out of the bathroom , they thanked her .
Emma said sincerely , “ I almost went to Hannah for treatment . Thank goodness Owen stopped me ..
Tara felt satisfied that she had chosen to trust Aria a week ago .
After paying the fee , they left with wide smiles and a spring in their step .
Aria , thank you so much ! ”
Seeing Emma’s face fully restored , James spread his arms wide , ready for a hug . But to his surprise , Emma rushed past him , grabbed Owen’s hands , and said excitedly , “ Owen , I absolutely adore Aria ! You need to step up and impress her .
“ Do you like her? Tell me ! ”
The more she got to know Aria , the more she admired how kind and outstanding she was . She was very different from Hannah , who couldn’t stop flaunting and always had excuses when things went wrong .
Emma added , “ Why didn’t I know her earlier ? I like her very much . ”
Listening to this barrage of words , Owen sighed helplessly and said , “ Mom , seriously ? We’re not even friends yet . ”
