Cheat With My Boyfriend Best Friend

Chapter 172 I am always on your side

Cinder’s question made me even more conflicted. I grabbed the wine bottle and refilled my glass.

I tilted my head back and downed the entire glass before wiping the wine from the corners of my mouth and sitting back down next to Cinder.

I gingerly placed my hand on the table. The pink diamond shone beautifully in the evening light.

Cinder blinked and her mouth opened in shock. “No way…”

“That’s what happened.” I nodded helplessly. “Aaron proposed to me today.”

Cinder’s eyes were wide. “He did that for real?”

I could hear the disbelief in her voice. I glared at her and poured myself another glass of wine. “Didn’t you take me to get dressed up before I knew he was going to propose?”

Maybe that was why Cinder was acting weird this morning. If I had known it was all because Aaron was going to propose, I wouldn’t have gone with Cinder.

Cinder didn’t tell me a thing! I was caught off guard!

Cinder blinked innocently. “Aaron just asked me to get you dressed up and send you there. He didn’t tell me the whole story. I just thought he wanted a nice, romantic evening with you. I had no idea he would actually propose!”

After many years of friendship with Cinder, I knew she wouldn’t lie to me about this.

My heart grew bitter when I realized that Aaron planned this entire elaborate proposal all by himself. I tightened my grip on my glass
