Chapter 409 Ask Colston for Help
Then I echoed, "Aaron's right. In fact, I no longer care whether the baby's gender cake is pink or blue. I'm glad to hear you say that both my daughters are healthy, Maria."
I pressed my hands to my chest and repeatedly expressed how delighted I was. My fetuses were healthy, and they were twins no less. This unexpected joy was enough to relieve me after two weeks of anxiety Finally, Aaron and I could move out of the ward where we had been staying for two weeks and back into our newlywed place
I had only been gone for less than a month, yet the moment I entered the door and collapsed on
the soft couch, I felt as if I hadn't been back in a century
"Well, the baby's rooms upstairs, one pink and one blue, can both be used. Olive, this incident speaks volumes about how prescient you, my wife, are. You are such a lovely prophet!"
I couldn't wait to decorate the baby's rooms before I even knew the sex of my baby, so I prepared two rooms
Aaron took me in his arms and kissed me on the forehead while praising me for what I had done
I smiled and shrugged, and then I immediately called the people around me with all the good news
Cinder was busy with work. After visiting me, she returned to New York and was now
occupied with her design manuscript. Yet she promised on the phone that she would be the first to get to me when the babies were born
Nick was in Berlin, but his first reaction to the call was saying, "Dear Olive, I think I ought to go and congratulate you, but I've decided to stay away. I will have no more contact with you until the babies are born."
"What?"
The phone almost slipped from my hand, and I couldn't even make out Nick's emotions. After all, he sounded so calm when he said these outrageous words
"You heard me right, Olive. I mean, you know I'm not good at controlling my emotions. David is still in Germany these days, and he has actually called me twice. Although I declined
his invitations to meet, I was so afraid that I would fall for that asshole and hurt you again."
Nick's voice trailed off. Until finally, he acted like a kid who had made a mistake and refused to speak again until he got a response from me
He even hung up the phone just like that
Aaron and I looked at each other, and then I remembered I had explained nothing to Nick the last time we talked on the phone
Nick, my poor friend. He still thought that he was dragging me down, not realizing that he was just a tool David used to hurt me all along

"Olive, I'm so glad you have such a great friend
Friendship 1s mutual. I don't think we can just leave Nick like that."
Aaron patted me on the shoulder, paused for a
few seconds, and then continued, "I know David very well. The emotional damage he caused to Nick is not gonna go away any time soon
What's more, David is very good at showing up every now and then to enhance his mind control. Nick is a very simple boy. I don't think he's a match for David."
Of course, I understood what Aaron said. The truth was, I was never going to leave Nick
behind
Or, in a way, the emotional damage Nick had been suffering was partly due to me
Yet... How was I supposed to bring it up to Nick?
Was I supposed to tell him directly that he was never David's target but I did, and even ... my husband?

In fact, the reason why David came to Berlin and gave him the necklace last time was just to use him to get to me
I couldn't bear to tell Nick any of these at all
It would certainly be very cruel for a lovelorn who still harbored fantasies and affection for his ex
However, if I continued to keep Nick in the dark, he would inevitably, as he said, fall into David's trap again one day and even willingly be mind-controlled by David again "Aaron, it's so complicated, and since I got pregnant, my brain seems to be about as big as this."
I made a circle the size of a golf ball with my forefinger and thumb toward the man next to
me, and then, under his puzzled gaze, I told him what I wanted from the beginning, "I think we should ask Colston for help. This is entirely his area of expertise."
"Then it's best if I make the call." Aaron held down my hand that was about to reach for the phone without any hesitation at all, but his eyes were slightly evasive as I looked over
I laughed out loud and said, "Seriously? Are you still jealous of Colston? I thought you were best friends."
"We are best friends indeed. Well, that doesn't mean I can't be jealous of him," Aaron said, without feeling shameful at all. Then he quickly added, "Besides, I'd like to know a psychiatrist's opinion. It has been a long time since I asked Colston for help with David. It seems necessary now, or David will always be a ticking time
bomb in our lives."
