GET IT

Chapter 119
I knew he wasn’t joking.
And I didn’t want him to come up and disturb Jane, so I compromised. “Okay.”
Before going downstairs, Jane and Jack’s actions were identical, wrapping me in an extended down jacket and pulling a hat over my head.
“Don’t think I’m exaggerating.” Jane poked my head. “It says online that it’s windy now, and it’s easy to get headaches in the future.”
“Alright, alright, you’re the best.”
She meant well for me. After agreeing repeatedly, I casually changed into another pair of shoes and went downstairs.
Seeing me coming out of the unit building, Ryan’s eyes darkened. “Why are you wearing. so much? Are you sick?
“You care about me?”
I found that I had lost the ability to talk to him properly.
If he really cared about me, even if he didn’t know I was pregnant, he should have asked yesterday how I was after being injured.
Regardless of the severity, I had been hit by a car.
Ryan frowned. “Why are you speaking in such a cryptic manner?”
Not wanting to get into it too much, I got back on track, “What did you call me down here for?”
In the middle of the night, I wasn’t interested in arguing with him about trivial matters.
He frowned. “Why didn’t you wait for me?”
I
met his gaze coldly. “Why should I wait for you?”
And I was glad I didn’t do something stupid like wait for him.
It had been five or six hours since I left the hospital.
He could still ask me so naturally why I didn’t wait for him.
It seemed that in his mind, I should always stand where he wanted and wait for him to turn around.
Ryan was ultimately not a good–tempered person and immediately sneered. “So eager to leave with him?”

The “him” he mentioned was, I realized after a moment, Jack.
I had to admit, he was quite good at turning the tables.
I took a deep breath of the cold night air and spoke indifferently, “Say what you want. I’m going upstairs.”
As soon as I spoke, I turned around and walked away.
“Charlotte.”
Behind me, he took two large steps and pulled me into his arms. “It’s my fault. Don’t be angry, okay?”
I was stunned to be held in his arms, feeling an unprecedented sense of powerlessness.
After a long while, I could only reluctantly lift my lips and say wearily, “What am I angry. about? Ryan, I’m not angry. Just utterly disappointed, that’s all. There’s nothing worth getting angry about.”
Before, I used to get angry because I hadn’t accepted his favoritism, hadn’t accepted that he didn’t really have me in his heart. So every time, I was deeply hurt and at a loss,
But not anymore. No matter what he did or chose now, I just felt it was within my
heart. expectations, and there was no ripple in my
Having said that, I tried to break free from his embrace, but he held onto my waist tightly. I heard his low, attractive voice. “I shouldn’t have been so harsh on you yesterday, and I shouldn’t have…”
“Shouldn’t have hit me?”
I smiled faintly, but my eyes were cold. “It’s okay, Ryan. Your slap was perfectly timed.”
It shattered all the affection between us.
It shattered all the fantasies I had about the young man in white in my memories.
He seemed to understand my indifference and suddenly panicked, holding me tighter, his voice tense. “You resent me, don’t you?”
“Yes,” I admitted without hesitation.
But my resentment had nothing to do with him hitting me or scolding me.
He didn’t understand. He said, “I’m sorry. She… she’s in poor health, and a miscarriage is a big blow to her. I was desperate.”
“Oh.” I nodded with a meaningful smile. “Did drag her into the street? Ryan, you saw it yourself. Finally, you’re questioning me?”

“So I’m apologizing to you.”
“If you apologize, am I supposed to accept it?” I found it ridiculous. “She miscarried because of her own actions!”
People’s hearts were indeed biased. He grabbed the back of my head, forcing me to look directly at him. His expression was stern, his eyes filled with terrifying hostility,” Yes, she made mistakes, but she has also paid a price, losing a child!”
“And what about me? Did I deserve to be hit by a car?” I didn’t back down, staring at him. without blinking!
“You were jumping around lively tonight, weren’t you?”
He sneered, his words full of mockery. “Still went to see the stars? You spent so long on the mountain with him, did you have sex?”
Slap!
The last words exploded in my mind like a bomb. I summoned strength from somewhere and suddenly pushed him away. This was the second time that I slapped him!
“Ryan! You make me sick!”
He groaned, his voice like frost. “And the two of you aren’t?”
