Cheating with my boyfriend's best friend

Chapter 289 Christmas Eve

After replying to the message, I kept running towards the address Aaron gave me.

It started to snow and pedestrians stopped one after another, cheering happily.

This may not be the first snowfall this year, but it was the first snowfall since I returned to the United

States.

The exhaled breath condensed into a white mist in the air.

I quickened my pace.

As I was about to reach the community where Aaron lived, I saw a lone figure standing under the

streetlight from a distance.

It had gone from light snow to heavy snow. From a distance, countless snowflakes fell on Aaron’s curly

brown hair, and some white snowflakes had already accumulated on the tips of his hair.

She was wearing a black jacket and jeans, and her silhouette looked much slimmer than before.

“Why did you get off?” I trotted over to him.

Aaron instantly looked up when he heard my voice and then smiled.

Somehow I found this familiar scene.

“Well, I was afraid you’d get lost,” he reached out to take the bags from me and said, “Is it hamburger

again?”

“Can you change the subject?” Some things should be past! Was it fun to mention it repeatedly?

“So…thank you for your takeout?”

“I’m not here to deliver food!” I was speechless again, “I was afraid that if you drank on an empty

stomach, you would end up in the hospital. Give the emergency department doctors a Merry Christmas

Eve, okay?”

Aaron shrugged. He was carrying both bags in one hand and naturally took my hand with the other

after opening the door downstairs.

Wait…he was holding my hand?

“Hey!” I stopped and motioned for him to behave with my eyes.

Aaron looked at me innocently, “What are you doing? Let’s go up first. I am freezing”.

His coat was unbuttoned, and it was visible that he was only wearing a black shirt underneath. Not

even a scarf!

Then I noticed that Aaron’s fingers were cold. Only his palm was still warm.

His hands had always been very warm before.

Aaron squeezed my hand and motioned for me to come inside quickly.

Although I was a bit reluctant, I didn’t bother to argue with him, so I followed him to the elevator.

Unsurprisingly, when I entered Aaron’s house, I saw nothing, let alone Christmas decorations or the

slightest trace of everyday human life.

The large penthouse like a model house had a wide view as always. Standing by the window, one

could see the beautiful night view of

Harvard in heavy snow.

But apart from the half-drunk glass of wine on the coffee table by the floor-to-ceiling windows, I didn’t

see any trace of people living in the entire house.

“Are you staying here tonight?” I reasonably suspected there weren’t even any clothes or toiletries for

the night.

Aaron carried the bags in his hand into the kitchen.

“You are inviting me?” Her voice came from the kitchen.

I rolled my eyes and didn’t want to answer him anymore at the moment.

Soon, Aaron came out with a plate. After a simple treatment of the food he bought, he set up the

tableware.

“Thank you for your Christmas Eve gift. ninjanovel.com ” She sat down at the dining room table, picked

up her knife and fork and kept her eyes on me, obviously waiting for me to take a seat.

A pasta dish had not filled my stomach. So I didn’t pretend and sat across from Aaron.

“Do you want some champagne?” Aaron asked.

I looked at the wine by the window in surprise and looked at him again, “Are you sure you are not

addicted to alcohol? How much have you drunk?

“I smelled the champagne from your mouth and thought you wanted some.” Aaron seemed innocent.

I reminded myself that I hadn’t come to spend Christmas Eve with him, and I just wanted to talk to him

about something.

Aaron’s champagne tasted good.

“Did you spend Christmas Eve alone?” She had rarely thought about this question before.

It wasn’t until the last six months that I gradually realized that I knew very little about Aaron.

Having never spent Christmas with my parents since I was a child, I had been used to a lonely

Christmas for thirty years until Cinder and Nick came into my life. So I couldn’t help but wonder why

Aaron spent the night home alone when he had a family.

If he remembered correctly, ninjanovel.com old Mr. Morris should be in the United States, and the

Morris family estate was not far from here, and it took less than an hour to drive back.

Aaron looked at me with his blue eyes, “Is this the first day you’ve met me? Olive, why are you looking

a little weird today?”

I was just feeling sorry for him!

Spending Christmas alone in a cold house was an experience he’d had too many times growing up.

The whole world was celebrating life, ninjanovel.com and every family was filled with warmth and

laughter.

But he had nothing.

He knew better than anyone what it felt like to be abandoned by the entire world.

“Do not look at me like that”. Aaron smiled, “Otherwise, I’d think you were seducing me.”

I looked back and even closed my eyes.

Olive, are you an idiot?

He had probably received invitations to various parties every day, not to mention Christmas.

Whether he wanted to go or where he wanted to go was always his decision.

And I felt sorry for him and wondered if he would be alone at Christmas.

The more I thought about it, the more ashamed I became of my stupid behavior right now. I was

secretly mad at myself.

Aaron raised his eyebrows, ninjanovel.com “Did you leave your friend and come to me just to ask such

a dumb question?”

“Nick fell too far behind on the job because of David’s influence.” I tried to explain, suppressing my

impatience. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Oh,” Aaron nodded, “you were the one that was left behind.”

I couldn’t take it anymore. I got up and wanted to leave.

“I’m just kidding. Don’t get angry”. He smiled innocently. But somehow he had an illusion. Everything he

showed at this time was to cover something up. Drąмanоvels.com

He didn’t seem to be in the mood.

“I’m serious.” I leaned back in my seat, “We saw David after we got back. He said something weird.”

Aaron’s face suddenly turned a bit grim.

Then she raised her head and looked at me again with her deep blue eyes.

“What are your next plans?”

Before I could answer, my phone suddenly rang in my pocket.

I pulled out my phone and looked at the caller ID.

It was Colston initiating a FaceTime call for me.

I subconsciously looked at Aaron and my muscles tensed.
