Cheating with my boyfriend's best friend

Chapter 168

Chapter 168

By the time I’d finished making love to Aaron, it was almost afternoon.

I was limp and exhausted, clinging to Aaron’s broad chest like a koala and listening to his strong

heartbeat as he carried me out of the bathroom.

As soon as we’d entered the bedroom again, I saw the smashed mirror on the dresser. Aaron had

already cleaned up the shattered pieces of glass on the floor, but there was still a piece of the broken

mirror that hadn’t fallen down.

The sight of it reminded me of Aaron’s strange behavior from earlier, and the image of him knocking

over the contents of the vanity played in my mind in slow motion. I pursed my lips and frowned slightly,

looking at the distorted reflection of my own worried face in the broken mirror.

The next second, a pair of large hands covered my eyes. Aaron’s deep voice rang out in my ears,

“Don’t look at that.”

Everything was dark, and all I could feel was his warm hands across my face.

Maybe my other senses were heightened in the darkness, because I thought I could detect a hint of

nervousness and tension in Aaron. My heart suddenly melted into a puddle of goo.

I reached out and covered the backs of Aaron’s hands with my own, teasing, “Okay, I won’t look, but

we’ll probably have to go out and buy a new mirror later.”

Aaron put me on the vanity chair, grabbed the back of the chair vigorously, and spun me around so my

back was facing the mirror. Our eyes met, and I stared at him.

After a long moment, Aaron coughed lightly. He took a hair dryer,

came over, and began to dry my hair. “Okay, we can go shopping together this afternoon.”

After my hair was dry, I got dressed and went to the city’s largest furniture store with Aaron.

This furniture store was full of luxury brands, so I was sure we’d be able to find a nice enough mirror

here.

Aaron took me by the hand and inspected each mirror one by one, comparing them to the design of the

dresser in the villa.

As I walked around the brightly lit furniture store with Aaron, I kept inadvertently glancing down at

Aaron’s hand holding mine, and I felt like we were picking out the furniture for our new home. I frowned

at the thought of settling down with Aaron.

“What’s wrong?” Aaron turned to me in surprise as I paused in the middle of the aisle, distracted.

I didn’t want to tell Aaron what I was thinking, so I changed the subject. “Um, I was looking at that

dresser right there… I think it matches the decor of Eliott’s house really well, right?”

Aaron looked in the direction I pointed, and his eyes lit up.

He took me by the shoulders and nodded enthusiastically in agreement. “You have such great taste,

baby. In the future, I’m definitely letting you pick out all the furniture in our house.”

Hearing that, my heart sk*pped a beat. I felt strangely conflicted about the idea of starting a family with Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Aaron, so I quickly changed the subject again.

After we had bought the new dresser and returned to the mansion, the sun had already set.

By the time we’d arranged the mirror in our room, Eliott had ordered dinner for all of us. After we ate,

we all sat on the couch. talking, and Aaron apologized very politely to Eliott. “Eliott, I’m very sorry for

accidentally breaking the vanity mirror in our room this morning.”

“It’s okay, it’s just a dresser.” Eliott held Cinder’s hand, smiled at her, and turned back to Aaron. “And

that Cornelio Cappellini dresser you bought is much better for the house, anyway. I have to say, you

have impressive taste.”

“Actually, Olive was the one who picked out the new dresser. I agree, I think it’s perfect. She has a

good eye,” Aaron said, giving me a warm smile. He’d never hesitated to praise me in front of other

people, but I couldn’t help but blush at his compliment.

Eliott didn’t seem at all bothered about the broken mirror. He smiled back at both of us, then smoothly

changed the subject.

After Aaron and I returned to our room, I pushed open the glass door and walked out onto the balcony.

I looked up at the silhouette of the mountains against the starry sky, once again amazed by the

incredible scenery.

Aaron wrapped his arms around my waist from behind, put his head on my shoulder, and said softly,

“What are you thinking?”

“I’m thinking… When are we going back to New York?” We probably wouldn’t see such a clear sky

again for a long time. The relaxing time I spent with Aaron in Switzerland only made me realize how

much I was going to miss this.

I knew Aaron wasn’t too happy with the itinerary I had arranged for our trip, and I thought he might be

itching to buy a ticket back to New York. But in response to my question, Aaron thought for a while

before saying, “I want to stay here for longer.”

I was a little surprised. “Really? You like Switzerland that much?”

“It’s not exactly Switzerland itself. Having you by my side is much better.” He kissed my cheeks and

forehead over and over again. “Baby, after spending all this time with you, I don’t think I’ll ever be able

to live without you.”

I was a little tickled by his kisses, and I laughed, brushing off the intimacy in his voice.

Just then, Aaron nibbled my earlobe and said in a h*arse voice, “Baby, there’s something else we might

need to put on the agenda while we’re here.”

His tone was mysterious, and I couldn’t guess what he was talking about. “What?”

Aaron braced his arms on either side of me, trapping me between him and the balcony railing. He

cupped my face and kissed me hard on the lips. “It’s a secret.”
