Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 338

"Miss Tang," Calvin called Jesse out of her reverie. "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, it would be extremely hard for me to believe that someone as gorgeous and smart as you would sulk around in a party like a small girl who lost her favorite toy. That truly surprises me," Calvin said with glimmering eyes.

"Who are you?" Jesse turned to Calvin and glared at him with her eyes wide open. Fire seemed to spark in her burning eyes and she clenched her fists like she wanted to punch Calvin. It was obvious that Calvin's talks multiplied her anger.

"I am Calvin Li." Calvin looked at Jean with a smug smile feeling happy to have gotten her attention. Jean's words failed to anger him and somewhere deep down he knew she was really sad.

"Calvin Li..." Jesse looked at him with a hint of recognition and confusion. Thinking hard trying to place him, she said,"You look familiar. Do I know you?"

As a matter of fact, Jesse didn't remember seeing his face before. Yet she thought she knew him from somewhere. 'Where did I see him?' Jesse thought and started to think of all the people she met in the past few years.

"It seems that I was born with a face that's hard to remember. Or else how can someone forget their childhood neighbor," Calvin said while he smiled. Even now, Calvin wasn't offended because he was a cool and even-tempered guy.

"What do you mean? Are you..." Jesse cried out when it registered. Now she stared at him completely startled. She hadn't expected to see an old friend here today.

"I am honored that you finally recognized me. Honestly, I am surprised. I thought you only cared for Zed." Calvin slightly smiled at her. He uttered these words in a calm tone.

Nevertheless, upon hearing the mockery implied in his words, Jesse felt embarrassed and her face flushed red.

"You can't blame me for that. I was just eight years old when you moved away. I surely can't remember you so clearly," Jesse said sounding defensive. As soon as she spoke, Jesse frowned and looked at him. She added,"I remember that you were already fifteen when you and Ron moved away. But you have changed completely! You look nothing like you did back then. Did you get plastic surgery done?" Jesse still couldn't match the man in front of her with the fifteen years old boy in her memory.

"Oh please, I haven't changed all that much. It is just that you have eyes only for Zed," Calvin argued. "Anyway, you are getting more and more beautiful, so how come I'm not allowed to become handsome?"

"Right. I do remember that your parents were both good-looking. And that's why everyone laughed at you and asked you whether you had mutations in your genes since you didn't look good at that time. During those days, only Christina would hang out with you but she..."

Jesse swallowed the rest and sighed with pity in her eyes.

Christina was so beautiful and also very kind, but in the end, she...

Thinking about that, Jesse couldn't help but feel sorry for Christina.

As soon as she noticed that Calvin also fell into silence, Jesse looked up and planned to break the silence. However, when she saw the pained look on his face, she was stunned and frozen in place.

When they were kids, everyone refused to hang around with Calvin since he looked fat and ugly. But Christina was the only exception.

Only Christina didn't mind his appearance and enjoyed his company. She didn't allow anyone to bully him and took good care of him.

Therefore, it must have been extremely painful for Calvin after Christina died.

"I'm sorry! I shouldn't have brought up Christina." Jesse apologized profusely to Calvin and felt guilty for being so stupid.

"It's all in the past. I'm pleased to know that you still remember her." With a forced smile, Calvin tried to hide his sadness. He didn't want to hurt Jesse.

"She took good care of everyone at that time, just like a big sister. I believe no one will forget her," Jesse replied thinking about the good old days. Thinking more, she added,"We all feel sorry for her death. By the way, I still can't figure out why such an optimistic person commit suicide."

As soon as her words dropped, Jesse sighed heavily, looking depressed.
