Gary sighed, reading the thoughts of her granddaughter. He knew she didn't want to put Sam in a difficult position. She had never striven for something she truly wanted. Gary wondered where she inherited that particular trait.
After Chris's clarification, Gary knew he could no longer say anything about the matter. The atmosphere during that night's dinner was filled with discomfort. After the dinner ended, Chris knew she had to go ahead, having lost the mood to say goodbye. She was about to go to the parking lot when Sam stopped her on her tracks. "Chris, I have something to tell you."
Charles had never liked Sam. He knew that Sam never saw Chris in that way because Sam has feelings for Autumn. In an attempt to save Chris from getting more hurt, he stepped forward, trying to get in the middle of their conversation but Autumn and Gary stopped him from doing so.
"Don't, "
Autumn said, shaking her head.
Autumn had known Sam for a long time. She knew what kind of a person he was. Despite being undecided about his feelings, she knew he would come to realize that Chris was the best woman for him.
Gary felt the same way. "I believe Sam will come to realize his true feelings for Chris. It would be better for him to undo what he has done. Chris should be able to accept the consequence no matter what it is, " he told Charles.
Recently, Sam had been constantly visiting Chris, which led Gary to think about that there might be something there. Gary believed that if Sam really didn't feel anything, he wouldn't care for her as much as he did.
Gary would be very happy if they ended up together. If not, at least they should know how to be able to make things clear.
Charles stopped talking despite the frown in his face.
"Let's go home first." Before getting in the car, Gary made sure to leave a reminder. "Sam, Chris has a sprained ankle. It would be the best if you could drive her home after you're done talking."
"Sure, Mr. Lu, " promised Sam. He asked Chris to get inside his car but she refused to follow his order. "We can just talk here. I want to go home right after, " she said stubbornly, still standing outside.
"Are you getting in or not?"
Sam asked her coldly.
"No!" she yelled back.
Sam was left with no choice but to pick her up and put her in the passenger seat. As he strapped her in, Chris screamed and hammered his chest in protest.
"Sam, you are such an asshole! Let go of me!" she yelled even further.
She was so sad that she could do nothing but vent her sadness this way.
"Would you please stop yelling?" he said as he slipped into the driver's seat.
He drove the car to the entrance of an amusement park and pulled over.
"What do you think you're doing?" Chris asked, seeing the closed gate.
"Chris, I'm leaving, " he said, ignoring her question.
Chris immediately shut her mouth, turning to look at him. "I'll fly back to America tomorrow morning."
"Why?" she asked, clearly surprised.
She could have stayed in America. But when Sam decided to go back to Y City, she refused the offer of an American company and flew back with him. She later found out that Sam went back to Y City for his ex-girlfriend.
Fine. She was fine with this. Sam could never be able to get over his ex. He loved his ex so much that he would never fall in love with someone else.
She decided to accept everything and stay by his side in silence. But when she found out that his ex was her sister-in-law, she thought she might have a chance.
