Louis told her the fact calmly.
Thinking of Jessica who squatted down on the sand like a sculpture under the scorching sun in Barcelona, his eyes turned a bit darker and he felt a little annoyed.
“Broke up?” Brenda’s face turned pale and said, “Louis, I didn’t mean to do that. I just acted on impulse... Please, I will take the words I said to you back, Okay? Besides, that night when I was ill, you didn’t leave me alone but came to take care of me. Louis, shall we start over?”
Speaking of that night, Louis glanced at Brenda’s delicate face coolly.
He squinted his hollow eyes and said, “Brenda, I don’t want to ask you about what happened that night, but since you mention it, so, tell me, why Jessica know I was in your home?”
That night, he was drinking in a bar. Then Brenda’s father called him that she was under the weather, so he went to her home and had a look.
He might have drunk a lot, so he slept in her house.
But Jessica told him that he was lying on Brenda’s bed naked, and he then realized that Jessica had misunderstood him.
However, Louis didn’t want to explain whether she believed or not.
It might because he had been in a relationship with Brenda for ten years, then he didn’t want to ask her why. But it didn’t mean that he could bear anything she did.
Brenda lapsed silence and she clenched her fists so tight. It never occurred to her that Louis would know about that. It seemed that the relationship between Jessica and he must be not that simple.
“Louis... I had no idea on Miss Wilson. But I don’t want to lose you... We have been together for ten years... I gave you all my youth, and we were so happy these ten years, weren’t we? I don’t want anything but stay with you. Can I? Besides, my dad hopes that we can still in a relationship. Louis, please, don’t do this to me...”
If she hadn’t asked Louis to marry her, and she hadn’t said she would break up with him, Louis wouldn’t have a car accident and nothing would happen.
But it was too late. Even though they were in a relationship for ten years, he was still so indifferent to her. And it was just her wishful thinking to get married.
Now, she was so regretful. She regretted that she shouldn’t have said that to him. It was like torture.
Louis was silent for a while then softened his tone and said, “Brenda, it’s my fault. But it’s over. I will talk to your dad.”
Brenda lost any hope after he said they were over.
She was crying and begged, “Louis, please... Don’t be so cruel to me...”
Ten years! How could he just move on so easily?
She couldn’t! He was the man that she had waited for a long time. How could she let their relationship end?
If Jessica Wilson didn’t show up, she wouldn’t suffer from this.
Brenda was clenching her fists and sobbing... She blamed all this to Jessica.
......
Jason brushed his teeth and washed his face in the bathroom.
Then he strove out of the bathroom as nothing happened before.
He snorted at Brenda when he saw she was crying. Then he strove into the kitchen, opened the fridge and began to find something to eat.
Even though he hated all the people in the house, he had to fill his stomach first.
Keith went into the kitchen and asked respectfully, “Matthew, are you hungry?”
“Or why am I here?” Jason rolled his eyes at him and thought that he was twaddling. Then he went on looking for some food from the fridge.
Keith was still shocked when he had a glance at Jason’s face which was full of expressions. In his memory, Matthew was a composed kid. And he would only lose his temper for Bella. But now, he was so bad-tempered.
“Matthew, what do you want to eat?” Keith asked him carefully.
Jason stopped and leaned against the fridge and then turned around to look at Keith, “I want to eat spicy and sour noodles.”
“Spicy and sour noodles?” Keith was shocked again and said, “but Matthew, I remember that you don’t like spicy food...”
Jason rolled his eyes at him impatiently and answered, “don’t you know that people will change?”
Keith was embarrassed.
He had carefully glanced at Jason and found that he did change a lot. Keith was thinking in mind that was it because of the master? But Matthew was lucky that he didn’t go mad.
“Can you make it? If you can’t, then leave.”
Then Jason took out an instant noodle which he asked the servant bought for him before from the cabinet. He thought the meal that servant made was so awful, he would rather eat instant noodles.
Keith was greatly surprised, “Matthew, instant noodles do no good to kids!”
“Who told you that it is instant noodles? It is the food in prison!” Jason tore open the instant noodles and then added the sauce inside. Then he moved a stool and stood on it to get some hot water.
Keith was scared a lot when he saw that and he shouted, “Matthew, it’s so dangerous! Let me help you!”
Then he took the instant noodles from Jason and helped him get some hot water and then covered it. “Matthew, you are still a kid. You can’t eat too much rubbish food.”
Jason peeked at him, “But I am living in a dump.”
Keith was left speechless.
Then, a bowl of steaming hot spicy instant noodles was served.
Jason held the noodles and sat down then began to enjoy it.
A strong smell of instant noodles filled the fancy house all of a sudden, which mixed with the fragrance Brenda’s perfume.
The mixture was so smelly.
Louis couldn’t bear it anymore.
He stood up from the sofa and walked straight to the dining room without looking at Brenda.
When he saw that Jason was eating the instant noodles, his face was sunken.
