Chapter 234 How

It feels like cheating

A flood of memories from three years ago washed over me, and I felt as if an invisible hand had seized my soul and thrown it back into the dark depths of the ocean from which I had barely managed to get out.

No!

All that was left of Aaron in my mind was a dull ache of pain and sadness, but I had decided to move on.

As my soul returned to my body, I instinctively turned around, ready to do

66 Stop! Aaron's voice echoed from behind me.

In the next instant, a powerful grip seized my wrist. The force was so great that he could n't take another step. "Ouch! You are hurting me! I cried out in pain, struggling to shake off my

grab

The force was all too familiar. He was dominant and inflexible.

Her hand floated in the air as she looked down. I could n't read her expression from her, nor did I care to try. "have nothing to do with Aaron anymore! I muttered to myself, trying to stifle the urge to flee in humiliation.

I didn't need to run.

After all, she was now Adenauer Colston 's girlfriend, and this was his office.

With that thought in mind, I straightened my spine and puffed out my chest before returning to the office and taking a seat on the sofa against the wall, directly across from him.

Why are you in Germany? Aaron raised his eyes slightly and asked me in his trademark deep, husky voice.

"Im working here. Is there a problem? I replied, trying to sound calm as my heart raced.

Why did Aaron suddenly appear in Germany? Did he know that he was now working with TWH ? What was he doing here? How did you meet Adenauer ?

Questions swirled through my mind, but I forced myself to stay calm.

I secretly studied the familiar but strange man before me.

He was still wearing faded jeans and the same black sweatshirt he had on when we first met. Her style of hers had attracted me even then. Only that she seemed to have lost a lot of weight compared to her three years ago. The sweatshirt dwarfed his body, and I could even see the outline of her collarbones.

As I looked at him, his piercing blue eyes met mine.

I quickly looked away in panic.

Aaron chuckled, the sound low and joyless. He was so anxious that he could n't capture and interpret any hint of any of his movements from him.

Had he caught me ogling him? Would that send you the wrong message ?

I had decided to get away from him. It could no longer affect me.

Just as he was about to explain, he laughed again." This is too strange. I can't believe Vincent quit his cushy job on Wall Street for you."

This time I could feel the bitter mockery in his tone.

What an asshole!

He always knew how to reopen the tender wounds of my heart.

Vincent's wedding had really been an accident, and I had walked away from him a long time ago. Still, she had been so desperate to explain to Aaron three

It took me three full years to recover from the pain, but he brought up the past with ease.

Yes, he had always been terrible like that.

I swallowed my anger and fought to appear calm. After all, I hadn't

I had the opportunity to explain three years ago.

Now this was my chance.

"It has nothing to do with him. I came to Germany alone. and you? What brings you here?"

major public company.

"Can you talk like a normal human?" His antagonistic attitude towards him really made me sick. "Do you think being rich

means you can do whatever you want, even play with people's feelings?"

Unwilling to put up with more insensitive words, I changed the subject.

"How did you and Adenauer meet?"

"Adenauer ? Aaron raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are they close to each other?"""

He leaned forward, resting his hands on the desk, looming over me. I felt a wave of oppression and disgust radiating from him.

For a moment, I thought he was jealous. On second thought, I felt that the idea was really ridiculous.

This playboy never lacked for female company. he was engaged, no

less In the three years since we broke up, he had n't contacted me once, so how could he be jealous of me?

His annoyance was simply a display of possessiveness.

Men have always been like this. Although our relationship was history, I probably belonged to him in some subconscious corner of his mind. His.

The thought infuriated me.

Strangely, I laughed instead of losing my temper. I straightened my spine. and faced him directly.

"Of course. I am here today to have an appointment with Adenauer".

Pleasure exploded when I saw her face cloud over. My revenge had struck

"You seem upset. Don't tell me it 's because I have a new date. "I deliberately provoked it.

Aaron looked away, but snorted as the corner of his mouth turned up.

His gaze captured mine once more as he got closer.

Oppression descended once more. Instinct urged me to flee, but defiance and reluctance kept me in place. I watched as she

I froze, stunned.

Did you think I had married Vincent ?

Wait... My mind reeled in confusion.

So three years ago, Aaron had believed that I had married Vincent before he announced his engagement?

Had he thought that she had abandoned him, toying with his affections all along?

Our eyes met again. Anger burned in those blue eyes, but I caught a glimpse of something else.

He could still love me!

My mouth went dry, but a small flame of hope reignited in my heart.

"Aaron, I...

"What, it may be difficult for others, but you should n't feel pressured to admit it. After all, you have always been like this. She cut me off, standing up and looking at me.

I was stunned once again.

"What do you mean? "

"You know the answer. She shoved her hands into his pants pockets, a nasty smile twisting her lips the one I knew all too well.

My mind went blank and my eyes were wide as he leaned into me.

His familiar breath blew hot against my face, and he lowered his voice to the point that it sounded like a demon 's whisper. "Am I wrong? Aren't you always like this? Don't you enjoy the thrill of cheating?"
