Filed To Story: Cheating with My Boyfriend's Best Friend Novel Read Online (Olive & Aaron)
“Is this some kind of test?” Aaron chuckled, glanc-ing at both me and Cinder.
Cinder urged him,”Answer her right now!”
“OK,” his gaze fixed on me, “you, Aaron Woods, aremy first love.
It may sound cheese, but I’m telling the truth.”
At that moment, I couldn’t say a word.
I had no expression, but I felt deeply hurt inside.
“The famous Manhattan playboy, now is not thetime for you to spout this sweet nonsense,” Cinder warned severely.
But this guy didn’t pick up on the signal at all. He laughed heartily, “Hey, I’ve been in love with Olive for a long time.
Earlier than you all think. Believe it or not,I fell for her when I was still a virgin.”
Cinder seemed to want to say something else, but I held her hand.
She glanced at me and spoke in an exasperated tone, “Alright, now get out of here. Don’t disturb us while we’re chatting.”
“As you wish.”
Aaron made a flashy gentleman’s gesture. Though it looked casual, he still exuded el egance and so-phistication.
After he closed the door, there was a brief silence in the room.
Cinder patted my hand,”After we return, I can intro-duce you to 100 male models; they are all handsome and humorous.”

Aaron’s POV:
Back in my room,I called Colston, leisurely lounging on the single sofa with one leg crossed over the other.
“Hey, bro, I have some good news to share…well,maybe it’s bad news for you,” I couldn’t wait to tell Colston about my progress in the last couple of days.”I feel like Olive and I are about to get back together.”
“Anything else?” Colston’s voice on the other endsounded weak and unenthusiastic.
“Since her friend came here, she’s been noticeablymore cheerful.
Your prediction about her depression seems a bit off. Her appetite has improved re-cently, and she even ate twice as much as usual for dinner today.”
Colston just hung up the phone without saying any-thing more.
I chuckled while staring at the disconnected phone, replaying today’s interactions during my bedtime routine. Olive’s mood had visibly improved, and we could joke around with each other.
As I lay in bed,I double-checked the flight schedule for the day after tomorrow and the private jet arrangements.
After confirming that a professional medical team would be on board the plane, I drifted off to sleep contentedly.
Only one more day left.
With such anticipation, I slept until 7 in the morning.
Stepping out of the room, I stretched lazily and saw a plane flying across the sky.
It was just a casual glance, but little did I know that it was an unexpected turn of events.
It was the Swann family’s private jet!
We were supposed to leave tomorrow. Why did Cin-der arrange for something to be transported here?
I walked toward the hospital with a light laugh.
Olive indeed had a good eye for choosing friends. Despite Cinder’s bossy, whimsical personality and numerous quirks, she’s fiercely protective of her loved ones.
When I called and informed her about
Olive’s situation, she immediately dropped every-thing and rushed here.
However, all my pleasant feelings vanished when I opened the familiar room door.
“What do you mean? Olive has already left?” Mytemples were throbbing, and the air under my nostrils felt thin.
Rita looked surprised, “An hour ago, Cinder took Olive to the airport. Didn’t they inform you?”
I clenched my fist, my nails digging into my palm, leaving deep marks.
In an instant, it hit me. The private jet of the Swann family that I saw earlier must have had Cinder and
Olive on board!
“Damn it!” After Rita left, I slammed my fi st hardagainst the wall and turned to run back.
Back in my room, I immediately picked up my phone.
“Come to pick me up now, immediately!”
After hanging up the phone, I texted Cinder, but the red exclamation mark indicated she had already blocked my account. I quickly realized what had happened and hurriedly sent a message to Olive, only to receive the same “message failed” re-sponse.
“Damn it!” I almost crushed the phone in my hand,and it took all my self-control not to throw it on the ground.
I didn’t know what had happened. Everything was fine yesterday; we were all happy and joking around. Why did everything change overnight?
As I sat on the plane departing from Antarctica, I forced myself through my memories, trying to find any overlooked details.
Everything seemed to have changed after Cinder appeared.
After she got off the plane, the first thing Olive did was slap me across the face. Her eyes were filled with anger and resentment. I understood all that, considering I now knew how miserable Olive had been for these four years. Moreover, I was the rea-son why Olive came to Antarctica in the first place.
I knew I was in the wrong, so I didn’t retaliate and accepted the slap.
But afterward, it seemed like Cinder didn’t harbor any more hatred toward me. We even cooperated in punishing Sam Robin. In some ways, our approach to handling things was quite similar.
So, what could be the reason?
I racked my brain but couldn’t figure it out.
It couldn’t possibly be because of yesterday’s ques-tion about my first love, right?
Due to a last-minute assignment, I could only land in Ushuaia and catch another flight. The latest infor-mation about the Swann family’s private jet showed their destination was New York.
It was a deliberate plan.
During the flight to New York, I tried to contact Nick.
The good news was that Nick hadn’t blocked me.
The bad news was that he had no information about Cinder and Olive. He was still working day and night at the research institute at Harvard.
“What happened to them?” Nick sensed somethingwas wrong from my tone and kept asking.
But I wasn’t in the mood to explain right now. I did-n’t even know if he was pretending or genuinely clueless!
“Go ask your friends.” I hung up the phone directlyand even turned it off.
My head was pounding! It felt like a hammer was rhythmically striking deep inside my brain.
Since I announced my departure from Antarctica, my phone had been bombarded with calls from vari-ous people, almost making my ears bleed. But I had no interest in answering any of them.
I just wanted to know why?
After a long flight, I finally set foot in America.
I turned on my phone and called my assistant, Mor-gan, to ask about any updates.
“Any news?” When I saw him,I inquired about the in-formation I had asked him to look into.
Unexpectedly, Morgan shook his head. “I’m sorry, boss, but we haven’t found any news about any new patient being admitted to the Swann family’s private hospital.”
“What about Cinder and Olive’s whereabouts? I toldyou guys to keep an eye on them at the airport and follow them as soon as they landed. Where are they?”
“I’m sorry, boss. They landed at the Swann family’sprivate airport.
We lost track of Cinder and
Olive.”Morgan lowered his head with a guilty expression.
I closed my eyes, pinched my nose wearily, and sighed deeply.
“Where’s the car?” Despite the slim chances, I stilldrove to Olive’s new residence.
But the doorknob’s dust told me they hadn’t been there. I wasn’t surprised by this result but was get-ting increasingly frustrated.
I couldn’t understand.
