Cheat with my boyfriend best friend by Jane E.L.

Chapter 491 Joe's Unusual Feelings Towards Me

Perhaps it was my sarcasm that couldn't help but show on my face, or perhaps it was the silence of the two sons that made old Morris feel a little embarrassed. In any case, after a long silence in the living room, he finally regained his fatherly authority and commanded in an irresistible tone:

"Tell me, Aaron, why did you do this?"

"Father!" This was the first time I heard Aaron address Mr. Morris so formally. It was evident that he had made a big decision and was making an effort to soften his tone. "I would like to talk to you privately about this matter."

Joe glanced at Aaron with a hint of surprise,

clearly indicating that Aaron had not mentioned to him about having a separate conversation with his father before this

Old Morris snorted, for the first time ever, he followed Aaron's suggestion so readily and walked ahead towards the study upstairs. After taking a step up, he even tapped the floor with his cane to signal Aaron to follow

The father and son said they wanted to have a private conversation, so Joe and I naturally had to step aside

But at this moment, sitting here alone face to face, without the noise in my ears, the absurd incident from last night instantly became clear again

Finally, Joe awkwardly handed over a cup of coffee, cleared his throat, and asked, "After you

went back yesterday, did your body... did it still feel uncomfortable?"

I knew his intention was to break the awkward silence between us now, but since he brought up last night, I couldn't help but think of the scenes that unfolded between Aaron and me in the car after we left Morris Manor

So my fingers, holding onto the coffee cup, started trembling involuntarily. When Joe looked at me with concern, I instinctively avoided his gaze

God knows, I only blushed because I recalled those explicit images, but Joe clearly misunderstood. He quickly stood up and apologized, "Olive, I... Although I was unaware beforehand, ultimately, this is my fault. If 1 hadn't been so naive about my mother, you wouldn't have almost..."

"It's not a big deal, Joe!" I snapped back to reality and quickly interrupted him with a smile

"The incident 1s all in the past, and if I have any concerns about it, Iam most grateful that neither of us ingested a large amount of the drugs, which didn't pose a threat to our lives. This outcome is already quite good, so don't worry about it, Joe."

I called him several times in a row, seemingly attempting to pull him up from the abyss of memories, but inevitably mentioning his mother, with a hint of regret for the so-called "good outcome" I had mentioned

Fortunately, Joe didn't delve further into this issue. In fact, after this awkward conversation, he made an excuse to go upstairs and organize some documents and left

I sat alone in the living room, holding that cup

of coffee for a long time. After my emotions calmed down, I finally decided to go upstairs and at least check the situation in the study

Because a significant amount of time seemed to have passed, Aaron and old Morris had not yet finished their conversation. As per their usual custom, this father-son duo would typically conclude with a loud argument

But this time, I really hope that Aaron and old Morris won't maintain such a terrible relationship anymore. Maria faced legal sanctions, and Aaron managed to give all the shares to his brother Joe as he wished. Now, the only thing that needs to be resolved 1s the conflict between father and son. I don't want to see them fighting over this anymore

However, I couldn't just barge in like that. After pondering for a moment, I decided to just listen

at the door. As long as I could confirm that Aaron and old Morris hadn't started arguing, I would be relieved

Fortunately, until I went upstairs, I didn't hear much noise coming from the direction of the study. When I stood in front of the half-closed study door, only Aaron's calm voice reached my ears

It was precisely his extremely calm tone that made me feel like I had fallen into an ice cellar, and it took me a long time to recover

"My dear father, did you already know that Joe had feelings for Olive that were out of the ordinary, which is why you wanted to use her 10% stake to control both of us? Do you still want to see us brothers fight, whether it's for money or for a woman?"

The series of question marks silenced old Morris and made me tightly clench my fist

We were all adults, and reading comprehension was not difficult for us. Some things didn't need to be explained too explicitly

Moreover, Aaron's hesitant utterance of "unusual feelings" can't possibly refer to familial affection, can it?
