Dolly walked to the door of the cafe still yawning. In order not to leave a sleepy impression in front of Leyla, she finished her yawn at the door before entering.
It was the same seat where they sat the last time they met, and Leyla was already sitting there waiting for her, with a steaming cup of green tea on her seat.
"Why, so stingy, only ordering me a cup of green tea when you're drinking your own Irish coffee, huh?" Dolly put her handbag on the inside of the table, smoothed out a handful of her white dress and sat down across from Leyla.
Leyla gave her a deliberately oblique glance: "If I remember correctly, the last time you came here you ordered a cup of hot tea, but if you want coffee now, I can order it for you right away."
She said, gesture to raise her hand to greet the waiter, Dolly reached out to stop her: "No, no, thank you for ordering this for me, by the way, what do you want me to do so early?"
Leyla held a small spoon and kept drawing circles in the bottom of the cup, she is still dressed beautifully today, purple dress wrapped around her graceful body, has given birth to her waist is still slender, big waves of long curly hair more she added a touch of charm, Leyla bit her lower lip, thinking how to talk to Dolly.
She felt the special black device in her left palm burning hot, almost burning her hand, and Stephen's face, despising her, came back to her mind, along with the pile of bills she needed to get up early and stay up long enough to save, taking over her sanity.
She simply had to laugh at herself, Leyla, when have you ever had such a thing as sanity, sanity, the moment she first developed jealousy for Dolly in college, had long since gone up in smoke, people don't do it for themselves, so no matter what she was about to do, she owed no one, and didn't have to feel guilty about anyone.
Her only hope now is not to have how luxurious things, but to make herself and her children live a comfortable, uncluttered life, a hope for a better life that is sincere and does not contain a trace of sin.
"Dolly, do you hate me?" Thinking for a long time, finally only hold out such a sentence.
Dolly did not expect her to suddenly ask this question, in fact, in these years so many things have happened, she experienced some bad life situation, almost all caused by this person in front of her, say not hate is false, say hate can not be talked about, because she has always been for their own sins to pay the bill, also bear the consequences they should bear, say hate her, it seems a little pretentious.
"I hated you." Dolly highly encapsulated with such short four words: "But now it's much better, see now self-reliant you, hard living you, positive you, sometimes will suddenly feel very relieved if did not experience, before those things then, you may never become what you are today, never change now for a better tomorrow. "
"To be honest, I have always hated you, I hated you when you first popped up to grab Brayden with me, and every thing that happened later made me hate you completely, but then when I was down and out and couldn't afford to eat or live in a house, the one who lent me a helping hand was actually you, who I had always hated, I was so wolfish, I thought These are all deserved, you owe me, and then I set out on the road to work now, I know that money is not easy to earn, a person wants to save money, must bear a lot of pressure, at that time I asked myself, is it always hate the wrong person?"
