Kapitel 230: I Want To Be Normal

Because Keeley had laughed, Aaron wondered if she was okay now. It was a bit of a blow to his ego that she had been laughing because he insulted himself but it still made him feel relieved.

"Will continuing to insult myself make you feel better?" he asked, perfectly serious. He would do it if it helped her cheer up.

She smiled and shook her head. "Better save it for special occasions. It was the element of surprise that got me more than anything. It's not every day you hear a cocky person insult themselves."

"I prefer the term 'confident.'"

Aaron wasn't all that confident in himself anymore either. Once upon a time, he had been but that was before he thoroughly screwed up his life and the life of the person who mattered most to him. The only thing he was confident about now was business since he had decades and decades of training and experience.
