I looked at Vince, smiling happily.
After leaving the hotel, he walked me over to the house downtown. The inside of the room was clean and tidy. It seemed that someone cleaned it regularly.
Vince gave me the house’s keys. He said he had more work to do at the office, so he left. Before he went, he gave me a kiss.
Then I locked the door and took a cab home. Once I entered the room, I saw Zhiyu Yin slumped on the couch.
He suddenly stood up, took two steps forward, and hugged me in his arms.
"Nance, are you still mad at me?" After Zhiyu's voice rang behind my ear, I was a little confused that he spoke like that.
"Didn't I make myself clear the other day?" I thought. “Doesn't he understand what I meant when I told him the other day that we would never be together?”
I pushed him away and looked at him seriously. His eyelids were a little droopy, showing that he hadn't slept well in the past few days, and his chin beard wasn't shaved. He looked sad.
"Please leave my home now," I said. “Don't come to my home to see me.”
My mother was standing by the side. When she heard this, she came up and scolded me, "Why are you so cruel to Zhiyu? After you cancel the engagement, his family becomes the laughingstock of Fu City."
I didn't want to bring up in front of my mom what Zhiyu had done to me. I married to Jerry and then got divorced, and it was he who caused it all.
And I just got married to Vince now. I was his wife and should stay away from Zhiyu.
.
I didn't want to do too much explaining. I turned around and was just about to enter my room. Then I heard a loud noise behind me, I turned around and found Zhiyu on his knees.
I had underestimated his love for me. A tall man was kneeling in front of me in order to beg for my forgiveness. I had mixed emotions. He gave up his dignity and forced me to forgive him.
Mom told him to get up but he wouldn't listen. I also tried to pull him up, but he had to make me forgive him before he got up.
My mom was crying with anger at me, "Nance, even if Zhiyu has done something wrong, he has knelt down and prays for your forgiveness. So you just forgive him."
I let go of the hand that was tugging at him and said, "I won't forgive you."
Then I went straight into the room and shut the door heavily.
