Chapter 583
Chapter 583 Joe's Old Friend
"Absurd!"
I smiled and dodged the hot breath Aaron exhaled, afraid that he would get even closer to me the next second and smudge the makeup I had just finished applying
But Aaron wouldn't let me off that easily, the hand resting on my waist even started exerting force again, making me burst into laughter uncontrollably
!
"Alright, alright, I don't care about where others thoughts are. Aaron, as long as you know that my thoughts are with you, it's enough."
I knew what kind of words could touch the man in front of me the most, so I hurriedly reached
out to stop his evil hand, then tiptoed and whispered in his ear, swearing that in my eyes, there would always be only him
Indeed, as the legend goes, the psychology of men can be equated with that of children
The "promise" that could be called sweet words immediately brought back Aaron's smile, and he withdrew his hand satisfactorily. However, he still affectionately held my hand hanging by my side in his palm and said, "Me too, Olive. In my eyes, there 1s only you forever."
While Aaron and I were whispering to each other, a small figure suddenly ran over like a gust of wind, accompanied by a sweet and childish "Auntie," and my legs were tightly hugged by two soft little arms
"Meteor! Watch your step!"
Charlie's voice rang out, and before I could react, Meteor had already firmly clung onto me with the strength of his arms, forcing me to instinctively and out of motherly instinct, lift him up
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Morris, but Meteor really wanted to see Olive. I couldn't hold him back
He ran too fast, did he not cause any trouble for you?"
Charlie smiled as he watched me pick up Meteor, and then he looked apologetically at Aaron beside me
No, although he appeared to apologize, his words and actions remained indifferent, just like a true gentleman, smiling at the person across from him
Or rather, Charlie's apology was not because he
felt that Meteor's actions just now were inappropriate, but merely a symbolic gesture of politeness
Based on my understanding of Aaron, he wouldn't have any particular opinions about Meteor, a child who is not even six years old
However, Charlie's words just now managed to ignite the flames of jealousy in his heart
Surely, after Charlie smiled and looked over, he immediately put his arm back on my shoulder and assumed a defensive posture, looking in Charlie's direction without any suspicion
"Of course, it didn't add any trouble. Mr
Marilyn brought his children to attend my daughter's birthday party, and my wife and I were also very happy."
He always liked to use very intimate words to
describe me in front of people he disliked. I felt a hint of danger in the air. If Charlie didn't wise up and say something provocative, I think Aaron would immediately withdraw his already limited politeness
So I quickly used my eyes to signal Aaron not to lose his temper in this situation. Besides, I think it's necessary for me to find some time later to have a good talk with Aaron, at least to let him know about my intention to resign. Otherwise, his hostility towards Charlie will sooner or later turn into a powder keg
And just as I was about to turn to Charlie and exchange a few polite words, trying to ease the atmosphere, Joe, who had been missing since morning, suddenly walked out of the house
"Charlie, long time no see."
Yes, Joe came out of the room, probably because he saw Charlie from the window
His greeting made me stand still involuntarily
Previously, when Aaron and Charlie met, they only formally addressed each other by their last names, and it seemed like they were not familiar with each other
But Joe's attitude just now was clearly that he had known Charlie for a long time, and the two of them greeted each other like old friends, without any unnecessary politeness or flattery However, the so-called "old friends" only refer to the level of familiarity they show. As for the emotions... to be honest, Charlie did not respond to Joe with much enthusiasm He just nodded slightly and exchanged a few words with him
And in just a few minutes, Charlie's face changed from being gentle because of what Joe said. He even withdrew his usual smile and came straight over to take Meteor from my armsProperty belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
He told me in a faint voice that he was going in to take a seat first
