Book5 Chapter6.
The man's smile suddenly froze, and he looked at me with disbelief.
His eyes were filled with sadness that I couldn't comprehend, as if I had said something to hurt him.
But I didn't know him.
Al eyes in the room suddenly turned to me. I felt uneasy under their gaze and touched my face.
Why are they all staring at me?
Is there something dirty on my face?
My gaze fell on a very pretty girl in the room. She had been staring at the man.
She must be his wife.
Thinking this, I walked over to her. As I gave her a grateful smile, she looked surprised.
"Thank you and your husband for saving me. I'm feeling a bit dizzy now. Could you take me home? I'll get some money from my parents and pay you back for the medical expenses. I promise!"
Worried they might misunderstand, I explained repeatedly.
But for some reason, the more I spoke, the gloomier the man's expression became.
The girl then talked to me as she pinched my hand painfully.
"Juliana, stop joking around. Stanley and I are very worried about you.
Besides, I've apologized to you, so just forgive us and sign the divorce agreement. Dragging this out won't help."
Her words left me utterly puzzled.
Divorce? But I'm only in my teens, aren't I?
However, from her confusing words, I heard a familiar name, Stanley.
That was my boyfriend.
Realizing this, I smiled sweetly.
"Do you know Stanley? Where is he now? Can I use your phone to call him to come and pick me up? He's very nice and definitely won't ignore me."
I thought they would agree easily this time, but everyone in the room still looked at me as if I were a fool.
The unfamiliar man, however, became agitated, grabbing my hands and speaking nonsense.
Is that so?
But, you are the one who betrayed me.
My head hurt so much!
I suddenly pushed him away, pulling at my hair and shouting.
"What do you want from me? I want to go home! My parents are waiting for me for a meal! Stanley needs to help me with my homework! Who are you?"
Maybe my frantic behavior scared them, as the man didn't advance any further.
After I had vented, he had red eyes and a hoarse voice as he tried to negotiate.
"Juliana, if you want to see Stanley, I'll take you to him. How about that?
I'll take you to see Stanley."
At first, I wasn't planning to agree, but since he resembled Stanley, I guessed he must be a relative.
Thinking about it, I nodded in agreement.
But inexplicably, his wife blushed with anger upon hearing my consent.
