Chapter 178 I don’t want you to meet with him
I couldn’t hide the change in my expression when I read the message.
Noticing my suddenly solemn face, Aaron’s eyebrows furrowed, and he looked at me with a hint of concern in his eyes. “What’s wrong?”
I handed the phone to Aaron. “It’s Vincent…”
When he heard Vincent’s name, Aaron’s face clouded over. His lips went taut, and his voice was as cold as ice when he said, “What’s he texting you for?”
From his tone, I could tell Aaron felt threatened by Vincent, and I could understand that. But Vincent’s mother was a very good person. I hadn’t grown up with any sort of maternal affection, but Vincent’s mother showed me what a mother was supposed to be like, warm and caring.
Although I didn’t want anything to do with Vincent anymore, I couldn’t ignore his mother when she was on her deathbed just because Vincent and I broke up.
Meeting Aaron’s unhappy gaze, I wet my lips and said, “Vincent isn’t contacting me for himself. His mother is terminally ill…”
I took Aaron’s big, warm hands and told him firmly, “Vincent’s mother wants to see me again before she passes away, and I want to see her.”
As I’d expected, Aaron’s expression darkened even more when he heard this. His whole body was tense, and his lips were pressed into a straight line. After a while, he stroked his thumb against the inside of my wrist and said, “Olive, please don’t go! You know I don’t want you to see Vincent ever again.”
