Chapter 367 Let's Break Up
In Colston's story, Aaron was not the swagger he was now
Aaron kept longing for the approval of his father when he was child, yet he never achieved his wish
He was the son of the Morris family. His father solely focused on teaching him how to be a qualified successor and showed him little affection
Aaron grew up in such an unloving environment. Only his aunt treated him as if he were an ordinary child in an ordinary family, but as she grew older, gradually, he wasn't allowed to disturb her much
Then Aaron met David who was 7 years older than him at a dinner party
David was bright and outgoing, and he always pleased the adults easily. When David was present, even the normally stern Mr. Morris would be nice to Aaron
Therefore, Aaron and David became good friends
During that time, Colston recalled, Aaron was even closer to David than Aaron was to him
I clenched my fists and had a bad feeling when thinking what that horrible man David had done to Nick. Did Aaron suffer the same things Nick did when Aaron was young?
I was correct. Colston sighed when he saw that my expression had changed
"No one could have thought that Aaron's supposed savior was actually a scheming hunter
To be honest, I don't discriminate against LGBT people, but I do despise David. He lied to Aaron under the guise of making friends and tried to force people who weren't one of them into that circle. Olive, can you imagine? Aaron was such a proud man, and he was almost molested by David. David even installed a camera to monitor and secretly take photos of Aaron at any time..."
"Stop..." I covered my ears, tears streaming down my face. I found that Colston hardly mentioned Aaron's mother in his story. But I didn't think it a lot as my mind was all on Aaron
I used to regret that I didn't have a chance to be a part of Aaron's past, yet now, I felt glad selfishly that he was already out of his misery by the time I met him. Otherwise, I dared not
imagine how I could mend that broken teenager
Colston unbuckled his seat belt, reached over to hug me carefully, and wiped away my tears
"Olive, although I dread the thought that he may take you away from me, as his friend of many years, I'll never disparage him. And I have to say that he has been through a lot growing up, and Lukita is the only light in the darkness that he has been through."
To tell the truth, hearing the word "only" with my own ears hurt me deeply
However, what Colston said next made my limbs turn cold
"T didn't meet Lukita personally, and I only heard her name later... I heard it ten years later when I was counseling Aaron. She was a very optimistic girl. Aaron told me that she had no
parents and lived alone in New York, yet she always smiled and faced everything no matter what happened. When Aaron was devastated, it was Lukita who told him never to fall into despair."
Later, Aaron managed to get his father to transfer him to another school and ran away from David, and he never saw Lukita again
"He only knew her name when he received the postcard from his old school."
Never fall into despair
As Colston spoke, I remembered these words I had written on a postcard when I was a child
And the postcard was signed with the store's watermark, Lukita
The memory of a crying teenager came to mind
When that thin and weak figure overlapped with Aaron, I covered my mouth, trying not to scream
Sometimes I felt that I was such a fool
When on the snowy mountains, I often remembered the words Aaron had said to me
Never fall into despair
However, it wasn't until Colston said all that that I remembered that I used such words to comfort Aaron
I had been trying my best to forget about my childhood living alone in New York. I was like a snail that refused to poke its head out of its shell and never showed anyone my past, since it was like a wound to me So, over time, I myself blocked the memories of
my childhood, not to mention "Lukita", the signature which I had not noticed at all
As I clenched my fists, shaking, I heard Colston sigh
"Let's break up, Olive."
I burst into tears again at once. It wasn't because of grievances but because of guilt
It was always Colston humoring me all this time we were together. I had been planning to come clean with him for such a long time, and now, it was he who wanted to break up with me
He was always such a gentleman, and he would never embarrass me. He even left me with dignity when we were breaking up. And all I could do was apologize to him repeatedly as a way to hide my guilt
