I walked aimlessly on the streets alone as I did not know where I should go. I couldn’t imagine the scenario if I went home now and bumped into Lyle and Crystal. That would be a total disaster.
Even if Crystal wasn’t in the picture, Lyle would still find fault with me. After all, his ego was what mattered the most. I used to be such a lowly person only to feed his ego, and he was treated like an emperor. However, the embarrassment he had to suffer today was a huge slap to his face, so I knew it was something he couldn’t accept lightly.
True enough, I received a call from him as I was walking aimlessly at the city square. He was furious and demanded I go home immediately. Upon that, I let out a small laugh and asked, “Why didn’t you accompany Crystal or the other girl? Aren’t bored of an ugly woman like me?” After that, I ignored his roars and hung up.
I sat by the flowerbed and shuddered as the night breeze hit me. I then instinctively hugged my shoulders to keep myself warm. All of a sudden, a warm jacket with a hint of tobacco scent was placed around my shoulders. Looking up, I saw that it was Christopher and stared at him dazedly.
“What? Now that you’ve seen Prince Charming, are you in love with him, or should I say… me?” Christopher looked at me. He smiled, and I couldn’t help but stare at his jaw and eyebrows that were carved into perfection. His smile was incredibly stunning, like the brightest in the night sky.
I pulled his coat tightly and asked, “Why’re you here?”
“I found a stray cat as I was passing by, and I plan to bring it home.” Christopher lifted me. “You shouldn’t be sitting out here, especially when you just got out of the hospital.”
Then, he brought me into his Bentley before I could ask any further. I wanted to ask him to let me down, but I hesitated because his coat was so warm that I didn’t want to come out of it. Just like that, I ended up in a hotel with him. It then hit me that I had decided to break off this relationship with him just this morning.
“Come here, kitty! Have some milk!” Christopher passed me a cup of warm milk out of nowhere.
I took the glass of milk and asked, “I thought you named me as little calf? Why am I a kitty now?”
