Filed To Story: Cheating with My Boyfriend's Best Friend Novel Read Online (Olive & Aaron)
Adenauer had invited me to dinner instead of getting angry!
Was he crazy? Was this a prank? He must be so mad that he wanted to play a trick on me, right?
Adenauer laughed on the phone, “Did you expect I would get angry? Did you think I will accuse you of being fickle and not taking me seriously?”
Look, he could read my mind!
“Adenauer, I’m not kidding with you.”
He stopped laughing and seriously said, “I’m not kidding either.”
“Why?”
“You know I have feelings for you. Since you are willing to give me a chance, I am naturally happy.”
Although his words sounded reasonable, I felt something wrong.
“But I turned you down in the restaurant.”
“Anyway, you’ve changed your mind.”
I couldn’t understand his logic at all, so I asked, “Don’t you think my vacillating attitude makes me look frivolous?”
“Exactly the opposite is true! You called me after thinking about it carefully. It proved you’re serious about your feelings and me.”
I wanted to tell him he had guessed it wrong. I had called him at the spur of the moment. But I could not say so.
So, I ventured, “Don’t you want to know why I changed my mind?”
“No!” Adenauer replied crisply, “Based on the result, I must be a good date in your eyes no matter what the reason is. And I’m glad that you chose me.”
Adenauer’s tone was so gentle that it soothed my broken soul. I had never met such a warm gentleman. When his voice gently brushed over my broken heart like a feather, I suddenly wanted to meet him very much. If he were in front of me now, I would have hugged him without hesitation.
“Thank you, Adenauer.”
My tear glands went out of control again, so my voice became sobbing.
“Olive, I did not expect you to be so prone to feel moved.”
His well-placed joke made me smile through tears.
“I didn’t cry.”
“Fine! If you say you did not cry, I will believe you.”
“I’m telling the truth.” I wiped away the tears and said, “I feel lucky to know you, Adenauer.”
“Me too. Maybe I should go to church this Sunday to exp**ss my deepest thanks to God for confusing you and sending you to my side from far-off America.”
His words amused me.
“Are you sure you’re thanking God? God did not confuse me. It’s my choice to come here.”
Adenauer obediently corrected himself and said, “Okay, how about I pick you up at TWH when you get off work tomorrow to exp**ss my thanks to you?”
“Are you serious?”
I was afraid this was not improper. After all, we had just decided to date.
“Don’t get me wrong. I accidentally saw a piece of news that there will be a lecture about dogs in a bookstore near TWH at 5:30 pm tomorrow. I guess you might be interested.”
“About dogs?”
Well, I admitted I was interested in it.
“Yes. When I was regretting not asking you out to the lecture just now, I received your call! Thank God!”
I did not know how to reply. But I was not a teenager anymore. When I did not know how to respond, I usually chose to start a new topic.
“Well, in return, we can have dinner together after the lecture.”
I thought about it for a while and added, “My treat.”
Adenauer readily accepted my offer.
After hanging up the phone, I sat on the sofa in a daze. My mind went blank, but my heartbeat was clear.
I had made a crucial decision! And I knew what it meant no matter if it was right.
Since losing Aaron’s love, I had been overwhelmed by sadness for three years and refused to open my eyes to look at the world. I had avoided all intimate contact with men and filled my time with the alcohol and academic studies. I had lived like an unconscious puppet and trapped myself in a prison set up by myself.
And that phone call just now meant a lot to me because I had finally stepped out of the barren prison!
Cinder had made me see reality in her way.
There was no possibility bet**en Aaron and me anymore!
Before canceling my FB account, I had seen the news of his engagement. Maybe he had married that rich girl now. So, I must move on too.
Putting down the phone, I went to the bedroom and threw the sheets and the dildo in the bathroom.
Under the spray of water from the shower, I closed my eyes and silently cleaned the place in my heart that had once belonged to Aaron.
It was time to start a new relationship.
Goodbye, Aaron Morris.
I had thought I would lose sleep, but when I woke up in the morning, I found I had slept well.
Then, I went to the laboratory and changed into my white uniform. After saying hello to Charlotte, I intended to continue working on my drug research and development.
But she stared at me and suddenly said, “You look different today.”
I looked down at my clothes and said, “What do you mean?”
“It’s hard to describe it. But you look energetic today. Did anything good happen?”
I froze for a moment and laughed, “Maybe.”
Giving up Aaron was tantamount to letting go of myself. It seemed I had made the right decision!
When I worked in such a good mood, my efficiency had been surprisingly high throughout the day, so today’s research was smooth.
I felt as if everything was celebrating me starting a new life.
When it was time to get off work, my colleagues left one after another. Soon, I received Adenauer’s message, saying, “I’m in Parking Lot Two.”
I immediately replied, “Got it. I will be there in five minutes.”
After sending the message, I started winding up. After moving the glassware from the washer to the dryer, I intended to leave. But Charlotte suddenly came out of the MRI room with 900MHZ.
As my assistant, she was dedicated to her job and had never left the lab before I got off work.
Dividing into
Then, we left the lab together and went out of TWH.
Charlotte usually parked her car in Parking Lot Five which was in the opposite direction of Parking Lot Two. Seeing her going to Parking Lot Two with me, I couldn’t help asking, “Didn’t you park your car in Parking Lot Five today?”
“Yes! I was almost late today, so I parked it at Parking Lot Two which is nearer.”
Charlotte’s answer made me a little concerned.
Although I didn’t want to tell everyone about my relationship with Adenauer for now, I had no reason to hide it. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to him.
When we arrived at Parking Lot two, Adenauer got out of the car and walked straight toward me.
“Olive, here!”
Charlotte’s gossipy eyes instantly lit up as if a light were being switched on.
“Oh my god! Who is he? Where did you know such a handsome guy!”
“I have you to thank for that.” Seeing Adenauer approaching us, I frankly t**sed, “He is my neighbor Adenauer, a psychiatrist.”
I look to Adenauer and said, “This is my assistant Charlotte, and she is a Master’s degree candidate in neuroscience at the University of Munich.”
Then, they shook hands and tacitly greeted each other in English.
