Chapter 380 Make a Clean Break

It was Nick's apartment in Berlin. After he saw that creepy jerk David for the last time at my wedding, he finally made up his mind to put the past behind him. The first thing he did was to leave the Harvard Institute and accept an offer from a German institute of medicine

I was nothing but supportive of his decision. I even joked that if he relocated here, I would have a place to go if I quarreled with Aaron someday

I didn't expect my joke to turn into reality so quickly

I sighed and called Nick when in the taxi. I was going to ask him to go out to dinner with me,

but when I looked in the rearview mirror and saw Aaron driving up in his car, I changed my mind and said I wanted to stay with him for a while

Perhaps it was the eternal truth when it came to relationships between men and women-whoever compromised first was the one who admitted the mistake first. I didn't want Aaron to falsely think I'd go back with him if he caught up After I made up my mind in a fit of pique, I hung up the phone, leaned back in the car seat, and closed my eyes

My baby seemed upset, as it had been kicking and punching right after I got into the taxi. I gently stroked my lower abdomen, and I felt that our palms were pressed together across my clothes and belly. At that moment, I could no

longer control my tears

Then the taxi pulled up below Nick's apartment

When I saw Nick running toward me in his funny gray bunny pajamas, my tears streamed down my cheeks even more uncontrollably

"Dear, what happened?"

Nick rushed over and kept stroking my back to help me breathe smoothly. He gave me enough time to cry. It wasn't until I could complete a sentence that he raised his hand and wiped my tears, gritting his teeth and asking, "Did Aaron bully you?"

I wanted to nod, but as I cleared my head, I realized that this whole thing wasn't just about that

Therefore, I took Nick by the arm and sat down

on the flower bed downstairs, and then I told him all about Vega off and on. Eventually, Nick came to a conclusion that coincided with mine

Aaron was a flamboyant playboy. He ought to say no to those women clearly in the first place instead of turning a blind eye

"Nick! Olive!"

After I finally calmed down, Aaron, who had failed to catch up with the taxi, found the right destination with great difficulty

I admitted that I was no longer mad at him when he got out of the car, panting while calling my name. And I knew that what happened today wasn't his fault

However, things between men and women could be weird sometimes, and one would easily get

childish. One might forgive her partner already, yet she still wanted to hold on to her pride

So, I clutched Nick's arm and whispered, "Ask him to leave! No matter what, I should stay one night with you before giving him a chance to take me home. Otherwise, he'll never understand how much the women around him hurt me!"

I had to say that Nick was a great teammate

There were some things I was too embarrassed to tell Aaron, so he did all the work for me right now. While standing in front of me, he looked straight at the man opposite

"Aaron, you need to spend some time alone to think about it. As a married man, shouldn't you deal with your own problems? Some women don't just disappear simply because you don't respond to them. You have to make it clear to

them that nothing will ever happen between you and them. And Olive and your baby need your absolute protection!"

"IT know that, Nick. I was just so anxious today. I shouldn't have spoken to Olive like that."

While saying that to Nick, Aaron kept looking at me. It wasn't the first day we had known each other. He was well aware that I didn't mean anything I had said today, and I knew he had no feelings for Vega at all

However, problems were better dealt with now than late. Now that it had happened, I might as well take this opportunity to teach him how to make a clean break with those women around him who had been causing nothing but trouble

As Nick said, Aaron was now a married man and would soon be a father. He might not care

about his reputation, but I didn't want my kid to learn from someone else that his or her father was a playboy

Nick blocked in front of me so that Aaron didn't stand a chance to approach me. Then Nick pointed to Aaron's phone and said, "By tomorrow at the latest, I want to see you explain your partnership with Vega to all the media and stop showing that woman any respect, or you can forget about picking Olive up from me."
