Back to Love: A New Beginning
Chapter 183

Chapter 183:.

Aaron turned off the music and answered the phone. The car was absolutely silent. So I could hear Derek’s voice from the other end of the line.

“Aaron, what happened to my wife, did she get lost?” he joked.

Aaron looked at me with amused eyes. “She’s downstairs with me. We’re chatting.” After making the phone call, we got out of the car and went back to our rooms.

The bedroom light was off, but I knew Derek was awake. Just as I was heading for bed, he reached out his hands without warning and pulled me into his arms. I fell onto his firm chest with a loud thump that made my jaw ache.

“I didn’t see you when I woke up. Were you sleepwalking?” I couldn’t tell if he was angry or not, but I heard him grinding his teeth. I turned away from him and explained, “Well, I heard a car noise but didn’t see anyone approaching. It sounded suspicious to me, so I went down to take a look.”

“Oh.” Derek nodded and pulled me closer to him.

“I called you, but your phone was ringing on the nightstand. I was afraid you were in the wrong room while you were sleeping.” I rolled my eyes, even though he couldn’t see me.

“The wrong room? I’m not as unreliable as you.” Derek laughed and ruffled my hair. He hugged me tightly to make sure I didn’t go crazy. “Yeah, you’re legit and I’m not legit. We complement each other.”

The next morning, we sat down to breakfast. Aaron took a slice of bread and said, “I’ve been looking for a house, and I found one a few days ago. So I’ll be moving in soon.”

I looked at him in surprise. “This house is big enough to accommodate you,” Derek said, smiling at him. “But, indeed, it’s not a permanent solution. If you have a girlfriend and you’re embarrassed to bring her here, you’ll have to book a hotel room. That will be inconvenient for you,” he added.

“No. That’s not the reason I’m moving.” Aaron smiled faintly. “I can’t stand it when they display their love every day.” Two days later, Aaron moved out. He bought a fully furnished three-bedroom apartment downtown.

That night, Felix invited us to Blue Sky to host a housewarming party for Aaron. Louise also joined us. Her hair cascaded over her shoulders. It seemed strange because she had always cut her hair short before.

“You’ve never grown your hair long, what happened?” I asked, sitting down next to her. He tilted his head to look at me before leaning over and whispering in my ear, “I’m thinking of growing my hair out, what do you think?”

“Well, I love seeing you with long hair. You’re a beautiful woman. I think any hair style suits you.” I smiled.

The arrival or departure of a person often changes a person’s attitude. I had seen tomboy girls become girls, and now my friend, who had always preferred to wear her hair short, wanted to grow it out.

I understood that this time Louise had really fallen in love. Since Derek’s stomach was still healing, I didn’t allow him to drink. I even stopped everyone from toasting him. He probably thought I was making a fuss, but I was dead serious.

In the end, he smiled and came to an agreement with me. “All right, I’ll listen to my wife.”

One of his friends joked that Derek was very pushy, but he didn’t seem to mind.

“What the hell do you know? A real man always respects his wife and listens to her words.” His words struck a chord in my heart. Louise nudged my shoulder and said, “You’re lucky to have a husband like Derek.”

Her love and tenderness made me feel like the luckiest girl in the world. But little did I know that there would come a time when I would wish I had never met him.
