Usually, Wesley’s car would have been a tiger’s nest for her, but now Harriet sat in it without hesitation.
It was so cool in the car, so she did not feel hot any more, “Can I have some water?”
Wesley handed her a bottle of mineral water, and Harriet immediately took it and began to unscrew it, but after a long wring, her palm ached and the cap didn't budge!
“...Can you give me another one?” Harriet asked.
Wesley replied, “No.”
Harriet froze with a pause before pleading, “Could you unscrew it for me?”
She felt a little regretful after that, because she was afraid that Wesley would misunderstand her.
Wesley was so gentlemanly at the moment that he helped her open the water bottle without any hesitation. And Harriet took a few mouthfuls as if she had been rescued.
Looking at Harriet’s discomfited manner, Wesley regretted leaving her alone for so long.
But if not, how could she change herself?
“Thanks.” After drinking water, Harriet did not forgive to say thanks.
Wesley drove earnestly, “Do you know what’s wrong with you?”
Harriet suddenly realized that it wasn't over yet.
“Yes, I ought not to have disobeyed you, or said those disrespectful things to you.”
Harriet talked smoothly, with her heart numb.
Wesley, however, isn’t pleased with the answer, “That’s one of them.”
“Well...” Harriet gritted her teeth, “Could you tell me what’s wrong with me directly.”
Wesley’s face was muffled. The point he wanted the woman to make was not that at all, but what it was he couldn't say, so he kept silent for a while.
If she had told him clearly that she might not be able to get pregnant in the future, he might not be so cruel.
Harriet looked at the man for a moment and said with a faint smile, “Since you haven’t thought of it for a while, then let’s talk about it next time. I will do nothing more to displease you.”
Now she knew that she could not challenge Wesley in the future. Leaving her in a foreign country was such a great punishment.
He had no conscience, or he cared nothing for her. She had imagined that he would love her, but today she realized the cruel truth.
Had he felt pity and guilt for himself when she had told him she could not conceive?
No.
Now he came back to pick her up, perhaps because he was afraid that she might be lost abroad, and it would be difficult for him to explain, because everyone at the birthday party knew that it was her who took her away.
“Harriet, if you behave yourself, I can give you anything you want.”
When they arrived at the hotel parking lot, Wesley finally uttered a word.
Harriet blinked and then smiled, “Really? Then-- I want your heart, will you give it?”
Wesley looked her seriously, and the pupils seemed to draw people in.
“I’m kidding. I know who I am and how dare I defile your holy heart.” Harriet said and got out of the car.
After returning to the hotel room and finding her cell phone, Harriet found that her brother had called her several times, so she had to call back to say that she was safe. She lied about getting drunk at dinner and spent the night out at a hotel with the crew.
Harriet had done this before, so Colin didn't suspect.
Colin hesitated and said, “There is something I want to discuss with you.”
