Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 134

Ines and Aaron Swanson agreed to meet at noon. They bumped into each other at a coffee shop. When Ines arrived, Aaron was already there. She immediately noticed the bruise at the corner of his mouth and frowned, "What happened to your mouth?"

"Got into a fight," Aaron didn't bother to hide it, blurting it right out.

Ines shook her head, chuckling. She didn't connect the dots between him and Ethan, just thought it was a coincidence, "My husband also got into a fight a couple days ago. You guys are in your thirties, why are you fighting like teenagers?"

Aaron scoffed, "I fought with him."

"What did you say?" Ines thought she heard wrong.

"I knew he didn't tell you anything. Me, him, and Noel, we go way back. We grew up together, but we just drifted apart," Aaron explained.

Ines was shocked. She knew Aaron was from A City and came from a good family, but she didn't expect him to have this kind of relationship with Ethan.

That man should have known about Aaron and her, so why hadn't he told her?

"Alright, enough about this, let's eat," Aaron changed the subject.

Ines nodded, seeing that Aaron didn't want to talk more about it, she didn't ask further. While eating, she asked, "Did you finish handing over your work in A City?"

"Yeah, I'm gonna stay in A City now."

"That's great, you'll get to spend more time with your family."

"Izzy, I want to ask, if I did something that hurt you, would you still consider me a friend?"

Ines was taken aback, she looked at Aaron, confused. This meeting, she felt like he changed a bit, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it, "You're joking, how could you hurt me?"

"The truth that you don't know, about me, Ethan, and Leila Caldwell, I can tell you."

Ines had a horrible feeling and frowned, "Who is Leila?"

"Ethan's ex-girlfriend, also the woman I like."

Ines was shocked. Even though Aaron put it simply, she could probably guess. She knew there was a woman in Aaron's heart and it was because of that woman that he left B City for five years. She didn't expect that woman to be the same person as Ethan's ex-girlfriend.

Without thinking, she asked, "Is your relationship with Ethan strained because of her?"
