“Go back with you? Where?” I sneer at him, thinking it’s funny and ridiculous. I have no relationship with him, does he think I am still his mistress?
“Go home.” Frances answers shortly.
“Hahah, you’re so funny. Do we have any relationship? Why shall I go home with you?” I laugh with tears, only I can feel the pain.
“What do you want?” Suddenly the man asks.
My smile freezes, not knowing what he means.
“What can I do to let you go with me?” The man stares at me and says helplessly.
“I won’t tell you before you open the door.” I raise my head and show him a bright smile.
He hesitates, must considering whether I will run away. After a few seconds, he opens the door and says lowly, “Now say it.”
I smile more brightly, then raise my hand slowly, touch the man's delicate and upright features. finally stop at his Adam's apple.
