Chapter 362 Honesty
I thought I'd have to call Olive later to apologize for my recklessness. I assumed I was the baby's father without her consent, but to be honest, Aaron's silence made me excited
He was my friend, but I wouldn't give my beloved woman to him
After all, Olive hadn't made a choice yet, so I thought I had the right to lie to Aaron
Sure enough, after a moment of silence, Aaron asked through gritted teeth, "What do you think of me? You already knew, right? But you were happy to watch me show off my closeness to Olive when we were in the Antarctic like a clown. You already knew she wouldn't choose
me!"
I didn't admit or deny it but just told Aaron that he needed to calm down
He was frustrated, while I was rather disturbed
I could confidently pretend to be the winner of this love game over the phone, but after hanging up, I would just be a candidate waiting for Olive's announcement
The fear of being abandoned by Olive consumed me. I put my phone back in my pocket, walked back to the office, and took out a ring box from a drawer. After briefing the nurse on her task, I booked the latest flight to New York
I intended to give this diamond ring to Olive on Christmas. I knew that it might be too early to propose to her given our short relationship, so I
wanted to use it as a Christmas gift to thank her for accompanying me home to meet my parents
However, there were many misfortunes. We were separated on Christmas, and she was almost killed in that accident, so I couldn't be overcautious and indecisive anymore
I had changed my mind. I wanted to propose to Olive with this ring
At 8 p.m. New York time, I arrived at the airport on time
The eight-hour flight exhausted me, but when Olive answered the phone, my fatigue was replaced by nervousness and excitement
"Baby, guess where I am now."
Oh my goodness, I admitted I'd never been so childish before
As a psychiatrist, I excelled at reading people's minds and was always said to be mature and stable. I never expected that I would impulsively cross over 6,000 kilometers one day and bravely propose to the woman I liked in the cold winter wind
This strange feeling filled my heart with excitement, but I swore that I didn't hate doing this because 1t made me feel young
However, Olive didn't expect me to appear in New York. She was as calm as usual when she received my call and smiled, "You're in bed and have insomnia again, right? It's almost 2 a.m. in
your place. If you can't sleep, try drinking some milk."
I was glad to hear that she cared about me, but I didn't want to keep her guessing. "I'm in New York, very close to you. If you're at home, I
think we should celebrate your new life."
Olive called me yesterday and said she was going to fulfill the formalities of severing ties with the Woods today. Then she'd go back to her small house because she didn't want to be taken care of by Cinder like she couldn't do anything for herself. She wanted to try living alone for some time
I expressed support for her plan and said I would come to celebrate with her, but both of us knew it was a joke. However, now my attitude was different from last night's. I firmly told her that I was in New York. Hearing the airport announcement, Olive ceased to smile
"Colston, you..."
"T want to see you."

After Olive finally gave me her address, I grabbed the ring box in my pocket and walked out of the airport lobby to hail a taxi
I came hastily, and Olive had difficulty moving, so we didn't go for a romantic candlelight dinner at our first meeting after a long separation. She pushed her wheelchair and heated a glass of milk for me, which made me particularly happy
With the glass in my hands, I looked around on the sofa. Olive's house was not very large, but it was filled with traces of life
The table was made of her favorite beige marble, and the tiles and walls were of warm colors that she liked... I felt from the bottom of my heart that I belonged to this place and even thought that if she really liked this city, I could quit my job and come back with her
Olive sat across from me. Looking at the glass of milk, she asked, "Colston, why did you suddenly come back?"
She was smart, so I couldn't hide anything from her. Of course, I had no intention of doing it
I hesitated for a moment before repeating what Aaron said on the phone
"Olive, I'm very sorry for coming here so suddenly, but I'm worried about you..."
"You don't need to apologize to me," Olive interrupted me awkwardly. "I should say sorry instead. I'm indeed pregnant. Four months ago, Aaron and I were drunk, and we... Oh, I don't want to call it infidelity, but it's for you."
She explained everything to me honestly
I didn't ask Olive about who the baby's father
was, but she had told me
Somehow, her honesty upset me

If Olive liked me a little, she might not be so honest
Friendship was about honesty, while lovers would lie to each other because they were worried that their loved ones would leave them
I finally figured out Olive's feelings for me
"Do you plan to get back together with Aaron?"
I know it was ridiculous for me to ask this question as Olive's boyfriend, but I couldn't help but wonder what she was thinking
With the least hesitation, Olive looked up, more determined than when she confessed to me earlier about "infidelity". "No. I won't let him
know about this. He and I won't be together again."
The house became quiet. I paused for a moment because I didn't want or dare to ask why, but I was secretly excited by Olive's affirmative answer
She wouldn't get back together with Aaron, but she needed someone to take care of her and her baby, and I was her boyfriend
It was an ideal opportunity for me to propose to Olive. Of course, I couldn't miss it
It didn't matter who the baby's dad was. What Was important was that it was now growing up in the belly of the woman I liked
"Listen, Olive, I won't leave you and the baby alone. Would you..."
I put down the milk and was about to take out the ring from my pocket, but before I could ask Olive whether she would marry me, I was interrupted by Cinder's call
Olive looked at me apologetically. Her face shifted as she heard what Cinder said
"What? Aaron had a car accident?"
