Chapter 139

Chapter 139. Who Aaron Truly Loves?

“What is there to talk about?” Emily tossed her surfboard toward a staff member and glared at me.

I pointed at the bar. “Let’s chat over there.”

Emily stared at me in disbelief. She seemed to be analyzing the situation, trying to figure out if this was a trick. After a few seconds, she grunted and turned toward the counter.

Countless people were crowded around the bar, and it felt like everyone’s eyes were trained on me and Emily.

I shrunk into my seat as I regretted my choice of meeting place. We shouldn’t have come here in our swimsuits.

Emily didn’t seem to notice all the attention. She waved off the waiter and didn’t even look at me. It was clear she didn’t want to talk with me in the first place.

I heard whispers all around us, and one man even gave a whistle. A tall man with blond hair covering his chest approached us. He didn’t look us in the eyes and instead opted to stare at our chests. “Hey ladies, wanna come and join me for a drink?”

“No, f*ck off!” Emily glared at him, even as he turned around and shuffled away. She scowled and turned her angry glare toward me. “Well, what the hell do you need to talk about!?”

I nervously combed through my wet hair and pretended not to notice Emily’s disgusted look. The words almost got caught in my throat, but I eventually stuttered out, “Where’s uh… Vincent? How come I didn’t see him?”

My words put Emily on edge. She instantly straightened up and turned her body towards me, once again sizing me up. “Why do you want to see him? Vincent wants nothing to do with you.”

She didn’t even want to talk about Vincent in front of me. Just how much of a threat did she think I was?

I knew Vincent’s true character, so of course I hated his guts. Why would I ever want to get back with a man like him? Only an idiot like Emily would give up her dignity to be with such a sh*tty guy.

I barely resisted the urge to roll my eyes.”Didn’t you ask me to visit him before?”

The memory of Emily pathetically pleading with me to visit Vincent caused a sickening feeling to bubble up in my heart.

Emily clearly didn’t want to discuss Vincent anymore, but she still replied. “That was then, and this is now. Vincent has moved forward; he doesn’t need your attention anymore.”

“Then why are you following us around all the time?” I asked. I knew it wasn’t a coincidence that Aaron ran into Emily as soon as we left the building.

I didn’t want to see this annoying stalker everywhere I went. I wanted to make sure she didn’t interrupt any more of my dates with Aaron.

Emily didn’t say a word; she just continued to glare at me with her arms crossed.

“Do you like Aaron?” I asked in a false, teasing tone. I rested my chin on my hands and acted like we were two friends sharing some gossip.

Emily jumped back in her seat. She looked just like a startled cat. “Who the f*ck even likes a man like that?!”

I narrowed my eyes at her. “Well, if you don’t like him, then why are you following us everywhere? Did Vincent make you do this? Did he want you to do all the dirty work to find out what Aaron and I are really up to?”

I didn’t think Vincent would stoop that low, but after hearing what Aaron had to say about him, I wasn’t about to rule it out.

Emily lowered her head and gritted her teeth. She was at a loss for how to reply.

I couldn’t help but sneer. “I guess he really hasn’t changed. He’ s all bark and no bite.”

Emily rocketed up out of her seat, even angrier than before. “Don’t you dare say that about Vincent!

He’s just… just—!”

She racked her brain for an excuse, but her mind came up blank.

“Just what?” I gave a curt laugh. “Admit it, that’s just who Vincent is!”

“You’re full of sh*t!” Emily was Vincent’s most devout follower. Of course she wouldn’t dare say anything bad about him. “Olive, you don’t know what the hell you’re talking about! You don’t know him at all!”

I dated him for years, and she claimed that I knew nothing about him? I raised my eyebrows, wondering if I misheard her.

Once upon a time, I did know him better than anyone else, but now…

I had a cold smile on my face. “I do know Vincent, in and out. I dated him for such a long time. I know that deep down, he’s still just an erratic liar who takes advantage of women!”

Emily’s expression was now a mix of fury and heartbreak. I didn’t know if Vincent treated her as badly as he treated me, but I saw tears glistening at the corners of her eyes.

Emily took a deep breath, clenched her fists, and still chose to defend Vincent. “He just struggles with some things, he’s not a liar or a cheater!”

Emily took a moment to calm down. “Listen Olive, I don’t want to talk to you about Vincent anymore.

How about we talk about Aaron instead?”

She spoke like she knew something about Aaron that I didn’t, and it put me on edge.

She took small steps until her lips were next to my ear. “Aaron is the real liar here. At least I knew what I was getting into when I got with Vincent. But what about you? You still don’t know who Aaron truly loves, do you?”
