Chapter 435 A Huge Misunderstanding
I shook my head irritably and looked sadly in the direction Joe had left, feeling at a loss for a moment
From a family perspective, I should have treated Aaron well towards his brother; from a wife's perspective, I should have tried to prevent Aaron from having contact with Joe
This contradiction made me feel anxious. It wasn't until the next morning when Aaron said he would conveniently bring the coffee upstairs to Joe, who had already been working in the study for two hours, that I had a sudden realization. I quickly found an excuse and said that I also wanted to go upstairs and bring that cup of coffee for him
Yes, I was Aaron's wife, and there were some things I could completely take care of on his behalf, such as helping him look after his brother more
I felt pleased with my wit and had an unconscious smile on my face when I knocked on the door and entered the study, which surprised Joe, who had just been earnestly reading the documents
Perhaps our recent interactions haven't been very friendly, because the moment Joe snapped back to reality, he immediately assumed a defensive posture, furrowing his brows and looking at me as if he was about to contemplate how to respond to my disrespectful words
I feel a little ashamed about this, but I believe I can sincerely express my apologies. That cup of coffee, prepared according to Aaron's
instructions and tailored to Joe's taste, is the best proof of my sincerity
"Excuse me, Joe. Here's your iced latte with three cream balls and two packets of sugar. I hope you'll like it." I handed over the coffee cup and then added after some thought, "But I still suggest that you try reducing one packet of sugar when you drink coffee in the future. You know, as a pharmaceutical researcher, I always care about the health of my family. If you're willing, you can listen to the advice I just gave."
Joe's face instantly showed a bewildered expression, "What on earth do you want to say?"NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
"Tt's nothing, just came to deliver coffee."
I smiled, put down the coffee, and turned around to leave
After all, we had a somewhat hostile relationship before, so it was not possible for me to expect him to readily accept my gesture on the first day. It is completely normal for him to have doubts and hesitations, but 1f I continue to make an effort, he will eventually get used to it
All of this was for the harmony of this family
In the following days, whenever Aaron wanted to do something for his brother, I would take over those tasks first. Joe's attitude changed from being cautious at the beginning to being puzzled, and later on, although he couldn't openly accept my goodwill, he no longer mocked me as coldly as before
Even on one evening, when Joe accepted the coffee I gave him, he still did so with a hint of nervous politeness
Just as I returned to the room, feeling proud of the "contributions" I had made to this family, Aaron, who had just taken a shower, came out of the bathroom and grabbed my arm without warning, pressing me against the door panel
"Olive, did you insist on staying in New York because of him?"
He?
My mind was spinning rapidly, but there was no definite answer. Aaron snorted coldly and lowered his head to bite my lip, making his words even clearer:
"Why have you been so attentive to Joe these days? Weren't you very dislike him before? Why do you even personally go to deliver the daily coffee recently?"
I paused for a moment, and then it dawned on me that this poor child had misunderstood the reason why I was kind to Joe
He didn't know yet, but I had already found out all about his background, and I even noticed his brother's inappropriate thoughts towards him
He even envied my attitude towards Joe! But Joe is gay... Poor Aaron, he knew nothing about it

But to be honest, such reasons cannot be brought up on the table, it's too awkward, and for Aaron, everything about his background is probably not a good memory. We have been together for so long, and he has never mentioned it voluntarily, which is enough to prove that it is not honorable for him
Even if we were married, I couldn't demand that my partner reveal all their scars to me. That
would be too cruel; I should allow them to have their own secrets
Even though I learned about these things from elsewhere, all I could do was pretend not to know and silently help him overcome all the shadows
So at that moment, of course, I couldn't tell him the real reason. I could only shake my head and deny his huge misunderstanding just now, and then patiently explain, "You are about to enter the headquarters of the group, and I have realized that I should treat Joe better, so as to prevent the relationship between you brothers from being damaged and him causing trouble for you everywhere."
This is a good explanation, but it is evident that there is still a hint of jealousy in Aaron's eyes
He lowered his head and kissed me, the scent of mint shower gel instantly filling my nostrils
But at the same time, it carried a strong coolness, just like the person rolling on my lips
The action was far from gentle, even when I pushed his chest to remind him to be careful of being heard by my family, he increased the pressure of kneading my breasts, seemingly deliberately forcing me to moan
