Chapter 314 – Young Girls Forbidden Love Series: My Boyfriend’s Best Friend Book

Filed To Story: Cheating with My Boyfriend's Best Friend Novel Read Online (Olive & Aaron)

But the next moment, his anger and questioning brought me back to my senses. Olive didn’t tell anyone about her pregnancy, and Aaron might believe that I was the baby’s father

No matter whose baby Olive was carrying, she didn’t break up with me or want to get back together with Aaron So this was my chance

Just as sparks reappeared on the blazing firewood pile that had been extinguished by rainwater, I felt better at this realization I gave a mild cough, pretended to be calm, and said to Aaron, “Right. This should have been good news, but Olive and I agreed that she needs to rest before announcing it to our families and friends.”

I thought I’d have to cal Olive later to apologize for my recklessness. I assumed I was the baby’s father without her consent, but to be honest, Aaron’s silence made me excited

He was my friend, but I wouldn’t give my beloved woman to him After al , Olive hadn’t made a choice yet, so I thought I had the right to lie to Aaron Sure enough, after a moment of silence, Aaron asked through gritted teeth, “What do you think of me? You already knew, right? But you were happy to watch me show off my closeness to Olive when we were in the Antarctic like a clown. You already knew she wouldn’t choose me!”

I didn’t admit or deny it but just told Aaron that he needed to calm down He was frustrated, while I was rather disturbed

I could confidently pretend to be the winner of this love game over the phone, but after hanging up, I would just be a candidate waiting for Olive’s announcement

The fear of being abandoned by Olive consumed me. I put my phone back in my pocket, walked back to the office, and took out a ring box from a drawer. After briefing the nurse on her task, I booked the latest flight to New York I intended to give this diamond ring to Olive on Christmas. I knew that it might be too early to propose to her given our short relationship, so I wanted to use it as a Christmas gift to thank her for accompanying me home to meet my parents However, there were many misfortunes. We were separated on Christmas, and she was almost kil ed in that accident, so I couldn’t be overcautious and indecisive anymore

I had changed my mind. I wanted to propose to Olive with this ring At 8 p.m. New York time, I arrived at the airport on time

The eight-hour flight exhausted me, but when Olive answered the phone, my fatigue was replaced by nervousness and excitement

“Baby, guess where I am now.”

Oh my goodness, I admitted I’d never been so childish before As a psychiatrist, I excel ed at reading people’s minds and was always said to be mature and stable. I never expected that I would impulsively cross over 6,000 kilometers one day and bravely propose to the woman I liked in the cold winter wind This strange feeling fil ed my heart with excitement, but I swore that I didn’t hate doing this because 1t made me feel young However, Olive didn’t expect me to appear in New York. She was as calm as usual when she received my cal and smiled, “You’re in bed and have insomnia again, right? It’s almost 2 a.m. in your place. If you can’t sleep, try drinking some milk.”

I was glad to hear that she cared about me, but I didn’t want to keep her guessing. “I’m in New York, very close to you. If you’re at home, I think we should celebrate your new life.”

Olive cal ed me yesterday and said she was going to fulfil the formalities of severing ties with the Woods today. Then she’d go back to her smal house because she didn’t want to be taken care of by Cinder like she couldn’t do anything for herself. She wanted to try living alone for some time

I expressed support for her plan and said I would come to celebrate with her, but both of us knew it was a joke. However, now my attitude was different from last night’s. I firmly told her that I was in New York. Hearing the airport announcement, Olive ceased to smile

“Colston, you. .”

“I want to see you.”

After Olive final y gave me her address, I grabbed the ring box in my pocket and walked out of the airport lobby to hail a taxi I came hastily, and Olive had difficulty moving, so we didn’t go for a romantic candlelight dinner at our first meeting after a long separation.

She pushed her wheelchair and heated a glass of milk for me, which made me particularly happy With the glass in my hands, I looked around on the sofa. Olive’s house was not very large, but it was fil ed with traces of life The table was made of her favorite beige marble, and the tiles and wal s were of warm colors that she liked… I felt from the bottom of my heart that I belonged to this place and even thought that if she real y liked this city, I could quit my job and come back with her Olive sat across from me. Looking at the glass of milk, she asked, “Colston, why did you suddenly come back?”

She was smart, so I couldn’t hide anything from her. Of course, I had no intention of doing it I hesitated for a moment before repeating what Aaron said on the phone

“Olive, I’m very sorry for coming here so suddenly, but I’m worried about you…”

“You don’t need to apologize to me,” Olive interrupted me awkwardly. “I should say sorry instead. I’m indeed pregnant. Four months ago, Aaron and I were drunk, and we… Oh, I don’t want to cal it infidelity, but it’s for you.”

She explained everything to me honestly

I didn’t ask Olive about who the baby’s father was, but she had told me

Somehow, her honesty upset me

If Olive liked me a little, she might not be so honest

Friendship was about honesty, while lovers would lie to each other because they were worried that their loved ones would leave them I final y figured out Olive’s feelings for me

“Do you plan to get back together with Aaron?”

I know it was ridiculous for me to ask this question as Olive’s boyfriend, but I couldn’t help but wonder what she was thinking With the least hesitation, Olive looked up, more determined than when she confessed to me earlier about “infidelity”. “No. I won’t let him know about this. He and I won’t be together again.”

The house became quiet. I paused for a moment because I didn’t want or dare to ask why, but I was secretly excited by Olive’s affirmative answer

She wouldn’t get back together with Aaron, but she needed someone to take care of her and her baby, and I was her boyfriend It was an ideal opportunity for me to propose to Olive. Of course, I couldn’t miss it It didn’t matter who the baby’s dad was. What Was important was that it was now growing up in the belly of the woman I liked

“Listen, Olive, I won’t leave you and the baby alone. Would you…”

I put down the milk and was about to take out the ring from my pocket, but before I could ask Olive whether she would marry me, I was interrupted by Cinder’s cal

Olive looked at me apologetical y. Her face shifted as she heard what Cinder said

“What? Aaron had a car accident?”

Olive’s POV:

“Yes. The driver of the Morris family called and said Aaron had a car accident on his way to the airport. He has been brought to the hospital by an ambulance now. According to his call records, you’re the last person he called. But the call didn’t get through. The police are investigating the accident. Girl, I know this news may devastate you, but I have to inform you about it because I want you to be able to see him one last time if he can’t pull through.”

When I heard Cinder’s words on the phone, I forgot that Colston, my poor boyfriend who knew nothing, was sitting right across from me. My voice was filled with unmasked worry.

“Why would he be in a car accident? Why did he go to the airport? I thought he wouldn’t leave until next week.”

“The driver said that he had been in a bad mood since he returned and he had an argument with his dad. So, he decided to leave today.”

Our meeting was the reason for his bad mood, wasn’t it? The call that didn’t get through…

With trembling hands, I scrolled through my call history. I was telling Colston that he could try to have some milk before bed for his insomnia when Aaron called. Did he get into a car accident because he was lost in thought about why I didn’t pick up the call? It was because of me. It was my fault…

A sea of sorrow washed over me. I nearly broke down crying. The fact that the man I just saw that morning was lying in the emergency room at the moment tore my heart into pieces.

“Cinder, which… which hospital is he in? L…” I choked on my words, sobbing. Suddenly, my phone was taken away from my grip. I tilted my head up and saw Colston say something to Cinder via my phone before hanging up. He extended a hand and asked me to give him the car key.

“Come on, Olive. I’m going to the hospital with you. Aaron is my friend too. I’m as worried as you.”

With teary eyes, I found the key and gave it to Colston, though it lay abandoned for a long time. As I was in a trance, Colston took me downstairs in my wheelchair, carried me into the passenger’s seat on the front, and folded the wheelchair before putting it in the trunk.

Colston’s orderly action calmed me down gradually. In fact, he always calmed me with his presence. Our relationship wasn’t a roller-coaster one.

But he was always magnanimous. I believed what we had was another kind of happiness that would last for a long time. I stared at Colston in a daze as he got into the driver’s seat and started the car, his lips pressing into a line.

He had come here in a hurry from Germany. Yet, in less than 30 minutes of his arrival, he needed to get in a rush because I was going to the hospital for my ex-boyfriend. I had to admit that I was deeply touched.

If… if we got married, I must be the happiest woman. When the thought came to my mind, the car happened to stop by a red light, and Colston turned his head to look at me. Once we made eye contact, I immediately averted my gaze and lowered my head nervously. What was I thinking? I just claimed that I didn’t need a man to have a happy life that morning.

Yet, when I was moved by Colston’s sweet act, I immediately thought about marrying him.

I was a bad woman. For a second, I thought about taking advantage of his kindness. Luckily, the car pulled up in front of the hospital soon afterward. The sound of Colston opening the door broke me out of my trance. He carried me to the wheelchair and thoughtfully covered my legs with a blanket. Without a word, he took me to meet up with Cinder.

Sometime during our drive over, Aaron had left the emergency room. Colston and I went upstairs, and the doctor declared that he was out of the woods. I patted my chest and slumped back into the wheelchair.

Cinder greeted Colston and looked at me. Her gaze was filled with worry, as if she knew something that she wasn’t sure whether she should tell me. Yet, Colston beat her to it. He crouched down and said, “Aaron is fine. Relax and refrain from getting too emotional. It’s bad for the baby. Stay here with Cinder. I’ll get you both some water.” Goodness, he was so thoughtful that he left us privacy. I almost cried because of his sweetness. After he left, I turned and realized Cinder was looking at me with a strange look. She looked like she wanted to say something. After a long pause, she pointed in the direction of Colston.

“Does he think he’s the father?”

“No way!” I shouted, but my tone turned weak. “We never had sex.”

“What a lucky girl. Olive, did you save the world in your last life?” Cinder rubbed her temple, but I could tell that she was pleased with Colston’s performance. “It seems that he’s serious about you. Don’t let him slip away, my girl.”

“You’re right. But I think I should stop wasting his time.”

I thought a lot on the way to the hospital. My shadiest thought was to take advantage of Colston’s love for me and continue to enjoy his love and care, never telling him about the truth. But I couldn’t do that.

I couldn’t accept that Aaron had feelings for another woman when we were together. So, I shouldn’t continue to be with Colston, the man who loved me wholeheartedly, as I still had feelings for Aaron. It would only hurt Colston.

“Olive…”

“What? I don’t think it’s the wrong choice. I can’t get over Aaron. Although I won’t be with him again, I can’t tell my heart what to do. And I can’t hurt Colston because I’m still in love with Aaron.”

I got my thoughts off my chest. But I only realized something was wrong when I saw Cinder biting her lip with a frown. Turning around, I saw Colston standing behind me with two bottles of water, a bitter smile on his face. How ironic. When I planned my breakup with a friend, my boyfriend was standing right behind me. Dumbfounded, I stared at Colston and couldn’t even voice a sorry. I had too many things that I needed to apologize to him. A simple sorry wasn’t enough.

Cinder left us alone as Colston told her to. We were the only two people in the hallway. Colston walked over, his gaze shifting from me to Aaron who was lying behind the glass door. Finally, he spoke up, his voice raspy.

“Let’s break up, Olive.”

Tears streamed down my cheeks uncontrollably over his words. It wasn’t tears of sadness, but tears of guilt. Colston had accommodated himself to me during our entire relationship. And he was even the one who initiated the breakup. He was such a gentleman that he refused to make me look bad or feel awkward even in the end.

Third-person POV

As the tears streamed down Olive’s cheeks, she felt a mix of emotions swirling within her. Guilt weighed heavily on her heart as she watched Colston standing before her, his eyes filled with a mixture of sadness and understanding. She had known this moment would come, but the reality of it hit her harder than she had anticipated.

“Colston, I…” Olive’s voice faltered as she tried to find the right words to express the turmoil in her heart. She wanted to explain, to make him understand that it wasn’t about him, but about her unresolved feelings for Aaron. Yet, how could she possibly convey the complexity of her emotions without causing more pain?

Colston reached out and gently wiped away a tear from Olive’s cheek, his touch warm and comforting. “It’s okay, Olive. I understand.” His voice was soft, filled with a tenderness that only deepened her sense of regret. “I’ve known for a while now that your heart belongs to someone else. I can’t ask you to change that.”

Olive looked up at Colston, her eyes searching his face for any sign of resentment or anger. Instead, she found only compassion and acceptance. In that moment, she realized just how lucky she had been to have him in her life, even if their relationship was coming to an end.

“I’m so sorry, Colston,” Olive whispered, her voice barely above a breath. “You deserve so much more than this. You deserve someone who can give you all the love and happiness you deserve.”

Colston smiled sadly, his gaze never leaving hers. “I’ll be okay, Olive. I want you to be happy, even if it means letting you go.” With those words, he took a step back, giving her the space she needed to process everything that had transpired.

As Olive watched Colston walk away, a wave of sorrow washed over her. She knew that she had made the right decision, but that didn’t make it any easier to bear. The weight of her choices settled heavily on her shoulders, a reminder of the consequences of her actions.

In the days that followed, Olive found herself grappling with a myriad of conflicting emotions. She missed Colston terribly, his absence leaving a void in her life that seemed impossible to fill. Yet, amidst the pain and regret, there was a sense of clarity that began to emerge.

She spent hours by Aaron’s bedside, offering him comfort and support as he recovered from his injuries. Their conversations were filled with shared memories and unspoken regrets, a reminder of the bond they had once shared. And yet, with each passing day, Olive felt herself slowly letting go of the past, making room for a future that held the promise of new beginnings.

One evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow over the hospital room, Olive made a decision. She knew that she couldn’t change the past or erase the mistakes she had made, but she could choose how to move forward.

With a newfound sense of resolve, Olive approached Aaron, her heart heavy but determined. “Aaron, I need to talk to you about something important,” she began, her voice steady despite the tumult of emotions raging within her.

Aaron looked up at her, his eyes filled with curiosity and a hint of apprehension. “What is it, Olive?”

Taking a deep breath, Olive met his gaze head-on. “I’ve realized that I can’t keep living in the past, holding onto what once was. I need to let go and embrace the present, whatever that may bring.”

Aaron listened intently, his expression unreadable. As Olive spoke of her journey of self-discovery and growth, of the lessons she had learned and the person she hoped to become, she saw a flicker of understanding in his eyes.

“And so,” Olive concluded, her voice tinged with a mix of sadness and hope, “I’ve made a choice. I choose to let go of the past and embrace the future, whatever it may hold. And I choose to do so without looking back.”

Aaron reached out and took Olive’s hand in his, a silent gesture of solidarity and support. In that moment, Olive felt a weight lift off her shoulders, a sense of liberation washing over her like a gentle breeze.

As she gazed out the window at the fading light of the setting sun, Olive knew that the road ahead would be filled with challenges and uncertainties. But she also knew that she was strong enough to face whatever came her way, armed with the knowledge that she had chosen her own path, guided by her own heart.

And as she turned to Aaron, a smile playing on her lips, she knew that she was finally ready to embrace the future, whatever it may bring.
