Chapter: 952

"Not exactly. She said you two had been together for three years, but you said it was a few months. It must be that you two slept together again after breaking up. She thought sleeping together meant you were still in a relationship, while you didn't think so."

“I was drunk that night. When I woke up next to her, I was shocked."

Indeed, Nikolas had believed he was with someone else that night. The bar was dimly lit, and he hadn't turned on any lights in the hotel room. When he realized it was his ex-girlfriend beside him, he quickly dressed and left.

He was worried she would pester him. Their recent encounter had just complicated things further.

Afterwards, Nikolas offered her money to part ways, but she refused it. She seemed to want more than money from him. He was truly frightened and avoided the bar for some time after that.

Aimee looked at him, tilting her head.

Nikolas became anxious. “I really didn't lie to you!"

“I'm not saying you lied. I'm just thinking When you got drunk and ended up with her, you used condoms, right Nikolas hesitated, then nodded. "Yes."

Did he really?

He should have.

That was the least he could do, especially since he was also worried about diseases.

Aimee took a deep breath and closed her eyes. “I'm going to take a nap. Wake me up when we get there."

“Alright.”

As they waited at a traffic light, Nikolas glanced at Aimee.

He wanted to ask if she was upset or if it didn't bother her.

He couldn't quite read her feelings.

If she was angry, he'd need to calm her down. If she said she wasn't upset and it didn't matter to her, then he would be the one upset.

If she truly wasn't bothered, did that mean she didn't care about him?

Nikolas decided it was better not to ask.

They reached the villa's garage. Just as Nikolas was about to wake Aimee, his phone lit up with a new message.

He opened it. It was from his friend who had a birthday party that night.

"Nikolas, earlier, Siena said she needed to speak with you in person. I didn't mention it while your girlfriend was around."

Siena Todd was the ex-girlfriend.

Nikolas was puzzled about why his ex-girlfriend had reached out to him.
