Chapter 140. Do One Thing For Me
My entire face flushed a bright red. “What are you talking about?”
Emily lifted her chin and gave a smug grin of triumph. “You seriously don’t know? Aaron was in love with a girl before he even met you. The only reason Aaron is treating you well is because he sees you as a stand-in for her.”
She gave a tsk of false pity. “At least I knew exactly who Vincent was f*cking when I got with him. What about Aaron? Do you know who he’s really thinking of when he’s f*cking you?”
Her cruel smile felt like a knife digging directly into my heart. I tried to remember Aaron’s previous girlfriends, or should I say… f*ck buddies.
Molly Miller looked pretty similar to me, down to the green eyes and red hair. And Lisa Blendy, that chef at the Italian restaurant, had very similar eyes and eyebrows to me. Maybe there were others, but I hadn’t seen them.
Aaron sometimes hesitated when he spoke to me, so maybe he was hiding something. I was curious as to what he saw in me before, but I didn’t look into it. When we first got together, I didn’t care much for Aaron, and I didn’t care if Aaron saw someone else in me.
But now things are different. I knew that I loved him, that I cared about him, and that I was crazy about him. I couldn’t accept the fact that Aaron was in love with someone else while he was dating me.
My heart began to sink. I knew that Emily was just trying to drive a wedge between me and Aaron, but I couldn’t help but
consider her words.
The cool sea breeze blew right through me, and I shivered.
Emily kept her playful demeanor as she propped up her chin on her hands and continued to stare at me with a smirk. “Wow, isn’t it upsetting to suddenly learn that you’re just a replacement for some other girl?”
“You don’t know Aaron! How would you know what he likes?” I coldly retorted as I reassured myself that Aaron just had a type.
Some guys like girls that have a body like Kim Kardashian, with big curves. Who’s to say that Aaron can’t have a type like that?
Aaron’s tenderness in bed, his caring attitude, and his
jealousy when I mentioned Vincent… All of that couldn’t have been an act.
“You’re pretty confident.” Emily obviously wanted to see me lose my cool, so she continued to provoke me. “Everyone in Aaron’s circle knows how much Aaron loved that girl. He was a well-known pl*yboy, but he didn’t f*ck anybody throughout his college years. That’s enough to prove how much he loved that girl. It makes sense that an outsider like you wouldn’t know about that. What makes you think that you can get Aaron to love you more?”
With every word Emily said, my heart fell further and further into despair.
I tried to reassure myself that Aaron just had a type, but now Emily just told me the worst possible thing that Aaron’s type
was a specific girl, one that existed!
This mystery girl once occupied both his life and his heart.
I once heard Cinder talk about Aaron’s self-discipline in college, but I never thought that he would go so far for a girl he had a crush on. In the same conversation, Cinder also repeatedly reminded me that I must not fall in love with Aaron and be fooled by his pretend love. I was stubborn at the time and wouldn’t admit that I had feelings for him, but now I knew how much heartache I could feel because of Aaron.
I recalled that Vincent mentioned that Aaron had a crush he didn’t end up with, so every woman he was with afterward looked like her.
So, was I really just a stand-in for her? The possibility made my stomach twist, but I didn’t want Emily to see my discomfort.
I held back the grief in my heart and kept a straight face. “That doesn’t matter anymore. Stop trying to stir up trouble. I know that Aaron loves me now, and that’s enough for me!”
My entire face flushed a bright red. “What are you talking about?”
Emily lifted her chin and gave a smug grin of triumph. “You seriously don’t know? Aaron was in love with a girl before he even met you. The only reason Aaron is treating you well is because he sees you as a stand-in for her.”
