Tears kept rolling down from the corners of my eyes. I sat there and hugged my knees, whimpering sadly.
“Honey.” Cinder squatted down, opened her arms to hug me, and patted my back gently like coaxing a baby, asking, “What happened?”
Her face looked anxious, and her eyes turned red.
Leaning in her arms, I sobbed out what had happened during the past two days, feeling like recalling a nightmare.
After hearing my words, Cinder frowned and couldn’t help cursing, “Vincent is a despicable and shameless villain. He used your sympathy to get you!”
I didn’t even have the strength to scold Vincent now. I was too stupid, so I had fallen into his trap. After reviewing this matter, I fully realized how wrong I was. Coincidentally, I had agreed to a fake marriage with Vincent shortly after rejecting Aaron’s marriage proposal.
When Aaron had been preventing me from coming back to New York in every possible way, I had resolutely taken the plane back without telling him. He had called me countless times. If I had answered one of them and made things clear, things would not have become so bad.
But I had taken his affection for me as a weapon and acted willfully. And now, this weapon had pierced into my heart too.
After scolding Vincent for a long time, Cinder patted me on the shoulder and said softly, “Aaron might be deliberately provoking you in a fit of anger. Everyone can see how he likes you. So, he will never dump you. Don’t think nonsense.”
Cinder’s comfort gave me a little more confidence. But what Aaron had said to me today made me have no courage to go to meet him. I was not sure if he still liked me, but I knew I had broken his heart.
Yesterday, he had told me because he wanted to apologize to me

that he had flown to Las Vegas. At the thought of this, I felt so sad that I couldn’t breathe. He was such a proud man but had bowed his head time and time when I made trouble out of nothing. And now, I had made him badly heartbroken.
Would he forgive me? If it were in the past, I would have said yes with certainty. But now, I was not sure.
I leaned in Cinder’s arms and let the tears flow down my cheek, saying, “If I could turn back time, I would not do this to him again.”
It was not until losing him that I realized how tolerant he had been toward
The only thing making me feel glad now was that he had not blocked me yet. I sought pleasure in sorrow, telling myself maybe this was the best result.
“Olive!”
When I was in a trance during an experiment, Nick suddenly snatched the test tube from my left hand and the mobile phone from my right one. Coming back to my senses, I subconsciously looked at him.
“You use the wrong reagents!”
He put the test tube and mobile phone aside and seriously asked, “What’s the matter with you? Why can’t you concentrate on the experiment?”
While speaking, he frowned, but his eyes were full of concern.
I stiffly forced a smile. Looking at the mobile phone on the desk, I couldn’t help wondering what if Aaron sent me a message now. I knew I was having a pile dream, but I could not prevent myself from having such a fantasy.
Nick held my shoulders and said with a gloomy face, “Olive, look at you! You are like a walking dead.”
While speaking, he picked up a mirror and held it in front of my face.
