Chapter 270 Is This Your Girlfriend?
Anaya saw that Winston didn’t look good and was worried that her best friend would be taken care of when she returned, so she loosened Aracely and Emmett’s joined hands.
“You and Mr. Karley just met. It’s not a good idea to get close to him.”
Aracely disagreed, “I’ve known him for more than a month. It’s not short. Have I told you that I
have a friend who had sex with her boyfriend less than two weeks after they met…”
A voice came from behind her. “Then, where are you guys now?”
“We just held hands…”
As Aracely spoke, she suddenly realized that the one asking the question wasn’t Anaya.
She turned around and saw Winston’s expressionless face. There was a hint of anger on it.
Ever since their relationship changed, Winston was rarely as gentle as he was before.
Sometimes, Aracely couldn’t even tell if he was overbearing and irritable. Perhaps, she had gone too far lately and always made him angry…
When Aracely felt his displeasure, she immediately hid behind Emmett.
She would keep Emmett by her side so she could clear her relationship with Winston.
It was probably because of Emmett that Winston spoke less with her even if they had been living together. What was more, he would not do those intimate actions to her like before.
When they were alone, he would say that he would be responsible for her.
However, what she wanted was never his responsibility.
What she wanted were his feelings.
And he could not give them to her.
He already fell for another woman.
Since she couldn’t get them, she would rather not start the relationship.
Winston pestered her like this just because he wanted to be responsible for the sex.
Since that was the case, she would solve the problem from its root and let Winston give up on the idea of taking responsibility.
Aracely made up her mind and said, “Emmett and I have had sex several times.”
After she finished speaking, she hid behind Emmett, afraid that Winston would come over and pull her away.
She waited for a few seconds but did not see any movement from Winston.
She poked her head out from behind Emmett.
Winston stared at her with his handsome face hidden in the shadow silently.
“Winston?” Aracely was scared by his stare.
Winston didn’t respond and turned to leave.
Winston would bring Aracely back by force when something similar happened before.
Today, he didn’t make any noise, which made Aracely a little flustered.
She always felt that he had given up on her.
This was the result Aracely had always wanted.
But at this moment, she had the urge to rush over and grab him.
She took a step forward but then stepped back.
Forget it.
It would be good if he gave up.
They were not meant for each other in the first place. And it would be improper to be together like they used to be.
“Aracely?”
Aracely raised her head and met Emmett’s eyes.
Under the streetlights, his face was a little blurry.
The scene behind him was the same.
Emmett handed her a tissue. “Why did you cry?”
“I didn’t.” Aracely did not take it.
“I’ll take a taxi home. Go back by yourself,” she said, sniffing.
Emmett asked, “Didn’t you say you wanted to ride a motorcycle to the river for a ride?”
“Who wants such a ride with you on such a cold day?”
Emmett was speechless.
Why did she ask him to come now that she didn’t want the ride?
Despite his anger, he had to keep a smile for his financial backer.
After Emmett left, Anaya had a chance to speak to Aracely, “I’ll send you back.”
Aracely shook her head. “I’ll walk around myself before going back…”
Aracely insisted, so Anaya did not impose her idea. She just told Aracely to be careful and drove away.
