"Don't you want to go back?"
Aaron blinked and asked, "Do you want to spend the Christmas holiday with me?"
"You wish!"
I unceremoniously retorted, "I have an apartment in Manhattan."
"A new apartment?"
Hearing this, I froze for a second and turned to look at him, suspecting he had gone to my old apartment to meet me after breaking up.
"Are you surprised? I went to your old apartment to meet you after we broke up."
Aaron's frankness made me at a loss for how to react.
He was in love with another woman! How could he always do such things to sway me? I looked away from him, picked up my coat, and walked toward the door, saying, "There is no point in talking about such things now.What's past is past."
Aaron caught up with me and asked, "Where is your new apartment? I'll drive you there."
"No, thanks.It's not far."
But he ignored my words and said, "You just need to give me the address."
Seeing me turn to look at him, he added, "Don't guard against me like this.I won't do anything to you."
I hoped he would keep his word.
After I gave him the address, he casually asked, "Did you rent or buy the apartment?"
I was surprised to hear him ask such a question but told the truth, saying, "I bought it."
Hearing this, he turned to stare at me and gradually raised his eyebrows.
"Why? Your family is rich, so you can buy houses in any city you like.Do you think ordinary people like me are not allowed to own an apartment?" I harshly asked, leaned my neck forward, and fiercely glared at him.
"Why are you so angry? You misunderstood me."
Aaron was amused by my reaction.But meeting my angry gaze, he shrugged and innocently said, "I'm just a little surprised that you bought an apartment."
"Why are you surprised? I have wanted a property since childhood.So, I've been saving money since I began to work."
According to my original plan, my first property should be a big house instead of a small apartment.
And I had not planned to buy it at such a young age.I had bought it shortly after breaking up with Aaron.
After paying the money, I had only two dollars left on my bank card! So, I even could not afford a hamburger then! In fact, after breaking up with him, I had looked normal for a while as if the relationship was not important to me.
I had normally continued my project and led my life as usual.
When Cinder had said she was worried about me, I had even teased her and said she looked more disappointed in love than me.
It wasn't until I had spent all my savings on the apartment that Cinder had been sure I had gone crazy.
She had lent me money for a long time.
Otherwise, I would have been unable to pay my living expenses.
The lease of my old apartment had not expired then, so I had not immediately moved out.
I had dreamed of Aaron going there to meet me countless times and gradually became addicted to alcohol.
And I had almost died in the rented apartment.
After Nick and Cinder had known each other, they had talked about me and reached an agreement that they must not indulge me in alcohol any longer.
They had helped me throw the lease, pack my things up, and move into my new home.
The new apartment had magic power.
