Noticing the silence, Neil threw the small towel in his hand and turned to look at Edith. "What do you want to talk about?"

Though he was now talking to her, Edith noticed that slight coldness in his voice. Her heart sank at his attitude. Edith did not know how she should deal with this situation. After all, she had never coaxed an adult before. Then… should she try to coax him the way she coaxed her students?

Or else… should she borrow Lily's suggestion? Take him down and coerced him into telling her what made him upset.

Sensing his scrutinizing gaze, Edith turned to look at the carpet under her feet.

Fortunately, the air in the room was not as stifling as it was in the car earlier. At the thought that her darling had calmed down a little bit, Edith took a deep breath and walked over to him. 

"You… what is wrong with you?" Edith asked. "Are you angry? Why are you ignoring me? Did I do something wrong?"

Neil walked over to his wardrobe and pulled out a shirt. Swiftly, he put his shirt on and turned around. "What do you think?"

Her breath stuck in her throat. If she really knew what was on his mind, would she still need to come over and ask?

"I don't know."

"Then, you should recall what you have said to me."

Edith recalled the conversation in the vehicle before Neil had suddenly changed. The last thing they were discussing was Aaron. She had mentioned that she used to date Aaron in the past and that was when her darling's mood started to go icy cold.

Dating Aaron was something she did in the past. That relationship only lasted for what? Half a year? She had a little bit too much drink and had made a stupid bet. Whenever Edith recalled her impulsiveness, she had the urge to slap her younger self.

But for Neil to be angry about this matter… wasn't he too much? She never minded that he had dated someone like Amanda Shen in the past. Why would he mind about the person she dated in the past?

"I don't understand," Edith said. "I know what we have talked about previously, but I don't understand why you are acting this way. Neil Mo, why don't you help me to understand what did I do wrong instead of ignoring me like this. We both had a previous relationship, but did you see me giving you a cold shoulder when I found out that you were dating supermodel Amanda Shen in the past?"

Neil stared at the person in front of him for a long time. His lips moved as if wanting to speak, but no words came out of his lips.

He knew well that he was acting unreasonable, but what can he do about it? The moment he heard that the two were exes, Neil could not control himself. That annoying feeling rose from his heart and spread throughout his body.

He didn't like that the two were exes and were still very close. Through his conversation with Aaron, Neil could sense that he was protective of her. Neil could not understand why an ex-boyfriend would be protective of his ex-girlfriend

After a long silence on his part, Neil finally spoke, "I don't like Aaron."

Edith blinked upon hearing his words. "What?"

"When I recalled how you said you have confessed to him, I got jealous." 

His voice was a whisper and Edith had thought that perhaps she had misheard things. But staring at his strange expression, Edith realized that she had not misheard things. Neil had admitted that he was acting strangely because he was jealous.

"What's there to be jealous about? Aaron and I," Edith heaved helplessly. "That was a long time ago. I was drunk when I blackmailed him to be my boyfriend. It could not even be considered a confession."

"Really?" His eyes darkened. "You can be close to someone you used to date before?"

"I grew up with him. We might not be blood-related, but I only see him as a sibling. We really did not like each other that way. Why do you think we broke up after a few months of dating?" 

There was a slight fluctuation in his eyes, however, he was still not happy.

Seeing that he did not answer, Edith took out her phone and dialed a number. "If you don't believe me, then you can ask Aaron and let him clarify."

Before Neil could say a word, the phone call was connected and Aaron's face appeared on the screen. 

Aaron muttered a cursing word. "Edith Qian, you better have a good reason for this phone call. I was about to take a dump."

Edith felt the corner of her lips twitched. This man was too vulgar. How can her darling be jealous of someone as obnoxious as Aaron Li?

"Aaron, you help me to explain to my darling." 

"What?" Aaron frowned. " Ah… wait a minute. It's about to come out. Can I just call you—"

His words were left unfinished.

Aaron's expression froze upon seeing a cold man's face suddenly appeared on his screen. Suddenly, Aaron thought that his stomachache had miraculously disappeared and he no longer find the urge to do his business in the restroom.

"President Mo. What can I do for you?" Aaron stood up straight and leaned on the wall behind him. They have just seen each other a few hours ago. Back then, Neil's expression was not as frightening as it was now.

"My darling was upset when he heard that we used to be together," Edith said. "Tell him that we don't see each other that way."

It took Aaron a while to process what was going on. Did the two of them get into a misunderstanding because of him?

"President Mo." Aaron cleared his throat. "Don't misunderstand. We don't see that way towards each other. The only reason I dated her back then was because she had blackmailed me to it."

"My darling thinks that you have feelings for me. Aaron Li, tell me the truth. Did you think of me that way?"

His eyes went wide and Aaron started to wave his hands. "No. No. President Mo. I don't have that kind of feelings for Edith. She is the person I grew up with and we always look over each other." A cursing word escaped his lips. "I was always her punching bag. Why would I like that violent woman? If I stayed with her, I might lose half of my lifespan."

Edith turned the phone to her and narrowed her eyes. "Shut up. Don't say anything unnecessary."

"Yes. I'm sorry." Aaron pursed his lips and nodded obediently. 

The couple was arguing, but he was stuck in the middle to help them resolve their misunderstanding. One was cold as ice and another was as fierce as a tiger. Mommy! He wanted to cry ah!

Edith turned the screen back to Neil, but before she could say a word, Neil had grabbed her phone and pressed the red button to end the call.
