Aaron scoffed upon hearing the questions. "Edith and I have known each other for a long time. As a friend, of course, I am worried about her."

Neil picked up the glass on the table and took a sip as he continued to listen to Aaron. As long as Aaron did not come to him as his rival, Neil thought that he would be able to spend his time entertaining his questions.

"Edith might be a rash person. There are times when she would not think much of a consequence when she does something," Aaron said. "Dating you might be the same. Perhaps that girl was not thinking things through when she decided to date you. She did not know what she was going to face afterward when she stayed with you."

"Are you saying that Edith is stupid?" Neil said in a languid tone.

"Not stupid. But naive." Aaron narrowed his eyes. "President Mo, if you are not serious about her, I suggest you leave her side before she gets in too deep."

"Then, you don't have to worry. I am very serious about her."

Aaron studied the man in front of him with distrust. 

Neil Mo was the President of MH Group. Countless women would want to be with him. They were all much prettier than Edith and some were heiress who could help him to bring up MH Group to another level. Therefore, Aaron could not understand why did Neil want to be with Edith. She was an ordinary kindergarten teacher who deserved a peaceful life and not anything messy from Neil's world,

"Mr. Li, you are worrying too much." Neil chuckled. "I don't think that Edith is just an ordinary kindergarten teacher. To me, she is more than that. There might be a lot of others who are prettier, richer, or smarter. But to me, she is perfect. She made me comfortable being with her."

The two of them might come from two different worlds, but Neil thought that the two of them could complete each other.

There was a slight fluctuation in Aaron's gaze. He continued to stare at Neil and found that the man was not saying those words to bluff him. At least, at this time, Neil Mo was really into Edith.

Aaron had a very complicated feeling as he realized this.

He chose to look away and grabbed the glass of water in front of him. He emptied the glass and looked at Neil again. "President Mo, tell me the truth… did Edith beat you up so bad and make you say these words?"

"..."

A chuckle escaped him before Aaron burst into a fit laugh. A few seconds later, the laughter subsided and Aaron turned to look at Neil with a languid smile. "President Mo, I know that you are someone in a higher position, but if I ever found out that you are bullying her, I will not be afraid to offend you."

Neil flashed the same smile at him. "Edith was not someone who is easily bullied. Even if I did bully her, don't you think that she will beat me to retaliate?"

Aaron continued to threaten Neil to treat Edith well and finally stopped once Edith returned to the room. The three of them spent their time together and finally left after the meal.

Before he left for his temporary place, Aaron made a promise to see Edith again before he moved into her apartment in A City in two days. 

Meanwhile, Edith sat shotgun as they head back to the apartment. Glancing at the man beside her, Edith leaned forward with a smile on her face. "Darling, what did you and Aaron talk about when I went away? Aaron… he did not say something bad about me, right?"

A frown appeared on her face and Edith vowed to beat him up if she ever found out that Aaron was bad mouthing her in front of her darling.

"What makes you think that we were talking about you?"

"Then, what else could you talk about?" Edith raised a brow. "The atmosphere around the room had changed as soon as I came back. Moreover, Aaron no longer stared at you with the same hostility."

Neil went silent until the car reached a red light. "I've been wanting to ask you a few questions." He turned to look at Edith. "What is your relationship with that person?"

Edith blinked. "That person? You mean, Aaron? He's a friend who I grew up with."

"Really?"

Edith stared at the man and thought that something was wrong with his expression. She cocked her head sideways as a thought suddenly came to her mind. 

Neil's expression… and the way he was looking at her… could it be that he was jealous? But, why does she feel like the look on his face was really adorable at the moment? She really wanted to go and pinch him on both cheeks, ah!

The light turned green and Neil turned his head to the road to concentrate on his driving. "Why do I feel like the way Aaron was looking at you is a bit different. He likes you."

"I and Aaron can't be together," Edith said and laughed She continued to study his expression and saw that her darling was not convinced with her words. "Darling, you are imagining things."

Neil kept his silence. He was a man and naturally understood how a man looked at the person they liked. The way Aaron was looking at Edith was definitely different. It was not the way a friend would look at another.

"Even if he liked me, I really cannot imagine us getting together again."

Her words were a whisper but it caught his attention and Neil turned to her with a raised brow. "Again?"

Edith touched the tip of her nose and she lowered her gaze, realizing that she had spilled something unnecessary. "We've... dated before."

His grip on the steering wheel tightened upon hearing her words. 

So... when Aaron had said so much to him, was he saying those as Edith's friend or her ex-boyfriend?

Neil was not convinced how they can be exes and still be close friends.

Neil recalled his conversation with Edith before and realized that Aaron was the person that she had given her drunk confession to years ago.

The atmosphere suddenly turned cold and Edith was suddenly shocked at the change. She had heard about Iceblock Mo for a long time and thought that she had seen the real Iceblock Mo, but this was the first time she had experienced something like this—the temperature dropping and the stifling air.

It turned out that the real Iceblock Mo was frightening! He could freeze the air with his aura.

Sensing his anger, the words that she wanted to speak stuck in her throat and Edith did not dare to speak a word. 

In the end, Edith decided it was better to let him drive home safely first.. Once they were at home, only then it would be safer for her to explain her words and coax her darling.
