Love Together, Be With You Never novel Chapter 2

The moment I opened the door, my feet stopped moving and my tears still couldn’t stop trickling down my cheeks. I was really unwilling to sever our connection just like that. I was really unwilling as I pleaded one last time, “Mr. Redford, I really rate highly of your skills, so if you want to get together again, you can call me anytime!”

“I’m bored of you!” Marlon’s voice was icy cold without any trace of wanting to reconnect anymore.

My fingers wired themselves around the knob of the door, and droplets of tears were forming dark blots on the floor. I really didn’t want to go. I wanted to see him and touch his face again and again despite the very unlikely scenario of getting the cold treatment again and again. It doesn’t matter. I could take all of that. However, Marlon didn’t seem like he planned to give me a second chance.

“Then, nothing I can say now. Goodbye, Mr. Redford!” I said these words with all my might before shutting the door and severed the connection between us. I was really afraid that I would rush back to him and beg him to let me stay with him while hugging him.

I knew that Marlon would never go back on his words no matter what. My incessant clinging to him would only amplify his disgust towards me.

The last thing I ever wanted was for him to hate me!

I pulled my luggage and started to walk out of his compound, but rain suddenly fell heavily with the water soaking every nook and cranny of my body. I didn’t care. I just let the rain water merged with my tears as everything trickled down my body. I could barely walk with the immense pain from my lower body that was constantly pegging me, but at the same time I thought that it was actually nice to have this constant stream of pain flowing through me. It made me unable to differentiate the source of this endless pain.

With a loud bang, I suddenly slipped and my body crashed to the ground. Pain was all I felt, and to cope with that pain I cried my hearts out in the ever expanding puddle of water.

I didn’t know how long I had been crying, but by the time no tears came anymore, the rain also stopped. I looked for a hotel to settle myself, but the moment I lied down in bed, my eyes could never shut. Sleep never came.

At that moment, my phone suddenly rang, and I frantically grabbed it without even checking the caller’s identity. I answered the call with the hopes that it was Marlon regretting his decision, but I only heard silence on the other end of the phone. I glanced at the screen once and saw that it was not any number that I knew. I hesitated slightly before calling into the phone, “Davidson, is that you?”

There was still no sound coming from the other end, “Davidson, I know this is you, right?” I spoke in the gentlest way possible.

“You little monster, I can’t believe you slipped in here without my knowledge.” Suddenly, a woman’s screeching voice broke the silence, and there was some noise that indicated a scuffle or conflict was happening.

“Shania, don’t touch Davidson! You don’t have the permission to touch him!” I screamed, but I could hear the muffled noise of a scuffle coming from the background. I screamed angrily, “If you do anything to him, I will kill you!”

“Great, you can come and kill me if you can, nothing can change my mind now. I need to teach this mute barbarian a lesson. What can you do to change my mind?” Shania replied smugly. Then, she hung up the phone, and she didn’t pick up anymore no matter how many times I tried to call her.

With my heart racing, I scurried back home. Based on my understanding of Shania’s personality, she would definitely torture Davidson.

The moment I entered the Cornell family house, I wanted to slap myself so bad.

In the midst of a heavy downpour, a fragile and thin figure was standing in the rain. He was soaked thoroughly.

“Davidson!” I ran towards him and hugged him tightly.

He was my real brother and the only relative I had in this world and he was only five years old. However, he was soaked all over and his body felt abnormally cold. There wasn’t even a trace of warmth at all coming from his skin. His face was colourless and deathly pale like a sheet of paper and his fragile body was full of wounds and bruises.

“I’m sorry, I’m really sorry, Davidson. I am late, I’m really sorry!” I hugged Davidson with all my strength and let my tears merge with the rain water as streams of water trickled down my cheeks.

Davidson stretched out his hand and wiped away the tears on my face. He revealed a weak smile on his pale face, and the sight of that deeply hurt me as if my heart was getting slashed.

I knew that Davidson was trying to make me feel better despite feeling painful all over. There was no way he could endure such gratifying pain. A surge of anger was burning in my chest. Shania was too evil. How could she have the heart to abuse a five-year-old kid?

I swept Davidson off his feet and stormed into the house angrily.

In the majestic living room, Shania was wearing a one-piece dress which was made from expensive silk. Her feet were enveloped in a pair of diamond-engraved high-heels, and she was sitting gracefully by the dining table while enjoying her breakfast. At the sight of us intruding into the dining room, she glanced at us disdainfully, “Why you two soaked animals have the nerve to come into the house? The ceramic tiles on the floor are going to be ruined by you!”
