Cheating with my boyfriend's best friend novel (Olivia and Aaron)

"Don't you want to go back?"

Aaron blinked and asked, "Do you want to spend the Christmas holiday with me?"

"You wish!"

I unceremoniously retorted, "I have an apartment in Manhattan."

"A new apartment?"

Hearing this, I froze for a second and turned to look at him, suspecting he had gone to my old apartment to meet me after breaking up.

"Are you surprised? I went to your old apartment to meet you after we broke up."

Aaron's frankness made me at a loss for how to react.

He was in love with another woman! How could he always do such things to sway me? I looked away from him, picked up my coat, and walked toward the door, saying, "There is no point in talking about such things now. What's past is past."

Aaron caught up with me and asked, "Where is your new apartment? I'll drive you there."

"No, thanks.It's not far."

But he ignored my words and said, "You just need to give me the address."

Seeing me turn to look at him, he added, "Don't guard against me like this. I won't do anything to you."

I hoped he would keep his word.

After I gave him the address, he casually asked, "Did you rent or buy the apartment?"

I was surprised to hear him ask such a question but told the truth, saying, "I bought it."

Hearing this, he turned to stare at me and gradually raised his eyebrows.

"Why? Your family is rich, so you can buy houses in any city you like. Do you think ordinary people like me are not allowed to own an apartment?" I harshly asked, leaned my neck forward, and fiercely glared at him.

"Why are you so angry? You misunderstood me."

Aaron was amused by my reaction. But meeting my angry gaze, he shrugged and innocently said, "I'm just a little surprised that you bought an apartment."

"Why are you surprised? I have wanted a property since childhood. So, I've been saving money since I began to work."

According to my original plan, my first property should be a big house instead of a small apartment.

And I had not planned to buy it at such a young age.I had bought it shortly after breaking up with Aaron.

After paying the money, I had only two dollars left on my bank card! So, I even could not afford a hamburger then! In fact, after breaking up with him, I had looked normal for a while as if the relationship was no important to me.

I had normally continued my project and led my life as usual.

When Cinder had said she was worried about me, I had even teased her and said she looked more disappointed in love than me.

It wasn't until I had spent all my savings on the apartment that Cinder had been sure I had gone crazy.

She had lent me money for a long time.

Otherwise, I would have been unable to pay my living expenses.

The lease of my old apartment had not expired then, so I had not immediately moved out.

I had dreamed of Aaron going there to meet me countless times and gradually became addicted to alcohol.

And I had almost died in the rented apartment.

After Nick and Cinder had known each other, they had talked about me and reached an agreement that they must not indulge me in alcohol any longer.

They had helped me throw the lease, pack my things up, and move into my new home.

The new apartment had magic power.

Both my friends and my new home had comforted me and helped me move on.

I had finally stopped wandering around and lived in a place belonging to me! Then, I had gradually stopped drinking alcohol.

To be honest, when I had seen the number of my debts, I had been so scared that I had almost indulged myself in alcohol again.

However, when I had been worried about how to earn my bread, I had had no energy to think about my ex-boyfriend anymore.I had quickly focused on my project and become a workaholic who often lived in the lab.I had caught up with the project process within a year and stopped sponging off Cinder.

When enjoying TWH, Thad just paid off my debt.

And I had not lied when saying I had chosen to work there because of the high salary.

However, there was no need to tell those things to Aaron.

When I got into his car, I suddenly thought of one thing and asked, "Did I mention this matter to you before?"

"What?"""Buying a property."

I did not think I had mentioned it to him.

He turned to glance at me and helplessly said, "It seems you did move on. You even forgot what you said to me."

Really? I searched through the memories in my mind with a frown but couldn't recall anything relevant.

He suddenly said in a sarcastic tone, "You want a property but are afraid of having a family. You're weird."

I immediately glared at him and stopped fastening my seatbelt.

He was taunting me because I had rejected his marriage proposal! "Yeah, I am weird."

I let go of the seatbelt and angrily said, "I'm afraid of marrying a man I don't know well enough! And you think that's why we broke up, right?"

He still did not understand what I was afraid of! I admitted that it stemmed from my unhappy family of origin.

My parents had abandoned me when I had been young, and I had grown up in a foster family.

Others were the fruits of their parents' love, but I was their stumbling block! Families were warm havens for others.

But mine was broken, deserted, and insecure.

"Sorry, I should not have brought it up."

Aaron softened his tone and said, "Fasten your seatbelt. I'll drive you home."

"No, thanks! I can go back by myself."

Anger had completely taken over me.

And I felt like a hedgehog with thorns all over my body.I did not fasten my seatbelt but got out of the car and strode out of the parking lot.

Aaron soon caught up with me and grabbed my wrist.

"Don't be so sensitive! It's a slip of the tongue! I apologize!"

"You don't need to apologize because you didn't say anything wrong. I'm insane. Just leave me alone."

After I rebelliously shook off his hand, he grabbed my arms and tightly hugged me from behind.

"Let me go!" I yelled.

"I won't let you go until you calm down."

Aaron's insistence brought back some unpleasant memories.

And they made me feel even more upset.

When I angrily turned around, my tears uncontrollably flew out of my eyes.

But I still lifted my chin and glared into his blue eyes.

"Do you think I never have the right to be angry with you? Do you think I will always compromise? Aaron, if I remember correctly, I rejected you again just now. Now, we are even not friends. Why do you think you can still treat me like this?"
