Chapter 497 He Would Be My Support
I don't know if it was because of the alcohol or because there were really few male friends in my social circle, but my mind was briefly plunged into chaos when I heard these words
I couldn't immediately figure out who the man across from me was until he urged again, asking me when I had time to meet him
Although I admitted it was somewhat impolite to not remember who the person congratulating me on the other end of the phone was, I still chose to directly ask for his name
The person over there fell silent for a moment and then smiled, asking in return, "Are you really unable to remember me, or are you still
holding a grudge? Well, Olive, let me say it again. Vincent congratulates you on finding your dream job and hopes to meet you in New York."
Vincent!
It was my ex-boyfriend who had disappeared for many years
The moment this name entered my ears, the hand holding the phone trembled uncontrollably for a moment, and then without saying anything, I immediately hung up the call
Aaron next to me looked at me curiously, but I instinctively put my phone away and then explained with a smile, "It was just a prank call."
Yes, for me, the sudden appearance of Vincent
was actually worse than a harassing phone call
I don't know how he got my new phone number, and I don't want to delve into whether his congratulations today were sincere or had ulterior motives. But in the past, he not only played with my emotions, but also drugged me and deceived me into marriage. Each of these incidents is enough to give me nightmares for three days and three nights when I recall them
I hated him, and Aaron certainly hated him too
The two of them had already broken up a long time ago, and as for me, I never wanted to have any relationship with that man again
Moreover, I have now formed a happy family with Aaron, and we have two lovely children
Especially after the recent series of events that happened a few days ago, I increasingly realize
that our peaceful and happy life is hard-won. I don't want this disgusting ex-boyfriend to disturb our lives again
So, in the moment when Aaron just looked over, I chose to hide this from him
After I finished telling Aaron about the harassing phone call, he didn't ask any further questions and just continued recommending the desserts at this restaurant, asking me which one I would like to try
But my mind had long been no longer focused on desserts, the reality told me that even if I appeared rational when thinking about those past things, my subconscious actions would still expose my uneasiness
That night, my mood didn't improve until the way back home when Aaron hugged me in the
backseat of the car and reached out to pinch my cheek. "Olive, is this some kind of pre-work anxiety? Why have you been absent-minded since earlier? If you regret accepting this offer, we will have more options. You don't have to feel anxious about your future."
As I listened to his words, I was momentarily stunned, and my heart instantly became incredibly soft
He didn't even ask me why I was in a bad mood, nor did he put any pressure on me with any interrogative words. He had already figured out everything for me on his own
"Aaron, I am truly grateful that after so many years, I still have you by my side."
I held Aaron's fingers in the palm of my hand, tilted my head and rubbed against his lips. He
was stunned for two seconds, but quickly took control, and his drunken kiss caught me off guard like a storm

His tongue entwined with mine, emitting a blush-inducing and heart-pounding sound in the darkness of the night. My mind went blank, and I simply closed my eyes obediently, instinctively grabbing onto his clothing
Aaron deepened the kiss slowly, holding me tighter, almost as if he wanted to bury me in his warm chest
Even though there was music 1n the car to cover up, I still blushed all the way and dared not look at the driver in the front row
I don't know how long it had passed when the car stopped, Aaron's movements also came to a halt, but he didn't let go of my hand. Instead, he
leaned closer to my ear again and said in a warm breath, "Olive, no matter what, remember that I am your support, and I will provide you with any feasible path. You just need to follow your own preferences."
This worked better than any sweet words. I blushed and nodded, and my lips didn't drop until we got home
In fact, if I hadn't received that FB friend request before going to bed, my good mood would have lasted until the next morning
That was an obviously fake account, with an incomplete profile picture. After repeatedly ignoring his requests, he kept sending them again and again
