Colin was totally confused.
He kept on feeling sorry for his girlfriend along the way and blamed himself for not protecting her as he should, therefore when Louisa requested for anything, he agreed immediately. Yet he felt he should not have done that when they arrived home.
“Lou, this doesn’t feel right, maybe I should help you book a room in a hotel…”
He did not even finish his sentence, yet Louisa’s tears fell like pearls from a broken necklace.
“Are you abandoning me too? My family has abandoned me, and now you’re asking me to leave too...Okay, I know I’m a burden to you and I should not have followed you back!”
“No, it’s not like that, Lou!”
Colin was a naive young man, he quickly gave in when his girlfriend started to cry and nag.
“Please stay, I don’t even have enough time to love you, let alone abandon you!”
Realizing Colin’s unexpected, sudden confession, Louisa blinked her eyes in surprise, “Oh yeah? How much do you love me?”
Colin blushed when he realized what he had said in a hurry just now.
“Uh, very much…”
Louisa blinked knowingly, “I love you too, Colin.”
She was wearing a flawless gown and her face looked beautiful. From what Colin had seen, he was afraid that Louisa might be the world’s prettiest woman at the moment. He could not bear with it anymore and his eyes started to become misted.
Sensing her boyfriend’s response, Louisa’s joy burst out like fireworks.
“Colin, it’s alright… I’m okay with it.”
-
A car sped along California Bridge like lightning and wind.
Wesley Smith drove fast and Harriet Clark who was unsatisfied asked from behind, “Where are you taking me?”
Yet the man did not reply.
Harriet chose to keep quiet seeing Wesley’s gloomy face from his side. She never challenged a man’s patience to avoid making herself suffer.
After fifteen minutes, Harriet regretted because she was dragged along by Wesley on her high heels and her dissatisfaction grew even more.
“Wesley Smith, let me go! Where the heck are you taking me?”
He did not release her but brought her to a helipad and pushed her into a private jet.
Harriet’s jaw dropped, she could no longer get off the plane but seeing herself inside it not knowing why. The pilots in front of them lowered down the barrier behind them without being asked.
“Wesley Smith, what is wrong with you?” Harriet stared at the man before her with a weird look.
Wesley’s eyes went gloomy and Harriet felt a sudden heartbeat, “Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Are you happy with the other man tonight?”
A single sentence made Harriet gave a sarcastic look, “Still fine. Yet, isn’t it none of Mr. Smith’s business regarding which man I’m in contact with?”
“I’ve said it before, nobody has the right to touch what belongs to me,” Wesley squinted his eyes, “Looks like you wasn’t paying attention to my words.”
Harriet curled her lip, not willing to resign.
“Mr. Smith, as you have said, I’m just a belonging, and it sounds like I’m unimportant and can come and go as you wish, so why do you need to care who have I been with? Besides, I was just accompanying someone to attend a party, and I didn’t cross the line with Keith.”
Keith? How affectionate.
Wesley’s eyes grew even more gloomy, “You’ve held his hands and fed him. How good of you.”
Harriet startled, and immediately replied casually, “He’s just a kid, what’s wrong to pacify him? Or...“
