Trinity felt that she must be drunk and delusional. This must be a sweet dream? But she still had to face the sad reality when she woke up, right?
In that case, she might as well discard this dream sooner!
Trinity bit her lips. The pain cleared her mind a little, and she shoved Fredric away to stand firm and kept up her facade.
“No need, really! I know you’re busy. I can actually—”
“You can’t! Why don’t you need me?” Fredric grabbed her hand. He had drunk a little as well, and some things could only be said while he was tipsy.
“Trinity, I’m sorry. I’ve understood it too late. I—”
“Let go of her.” A cold voice suddenly sounded at the door.
Fredric and Trinity were stunned at the tall figure under the dim light.
Footsteps approached them slowly before a force separated the two of them. Trinity was pulled to someone else.
“Mr. Constable, don’t you think it’s too late to say these now?”
“Neil!” Trinity warned softly.
Fredric opened his mouth but said nothing. His fists on his sides tightened.
“I told Trinity that I’d pick her up after the gathering ended today.” Neil smiled. “Don’t worry, Mr. Constable. I’ll send her home safely!”
Neil shot Trinity a look and grabbed her wrist to take her out.
There was a wash of sorrow in Trinity, like waves on the shore that left faint marks. She thought that she had woken up from the dream with her strong willpower, but she ultimately had to depend on an external force.
She walked to the door slowly and turned back to glance at Fredric… hoping that time would stop at this moment.
Neil looked at her with a frown and coughed. His tone hardened. “Trinity, are you leaving or not?”
“Mm, yeah. Coming.”
“Faster, will you?” Neil spoke softly by her ear. “Must you cling to this tree your whole life? What a fool!”
“Shut up!” Trinity glared at him.
In the end, she willed herself to walk out, but not two steps later, she felt another force on her shoulders.
Fredric pulled her back by her shoulders and put himself in front of her.
“Can’t you see that Trinity doesn’t want to leave?”
“What?” Neil raised a brow. “Hah, Mr. Constable, you’re being too soft. I can’t hear you!”
“Alright.” Fredric gritted his teeth. “I’ll repeat myself…
“I said, I’ll send Trinity home today! I have a lot of things to tell her!”
“What’s there to tell her? Michelle’s canceled now, and her future’s ruined. You’re not thinking of asking Trinity to help you figure out something again, are you?” Neil looked stern. “Fredric, what else do you know other than using Trinity’s feelings for you? You’ve been more than mean to her!”
“You—”
“Stop wasting your time! Trinity won’t look back. Do you really think someone will wait for you to turn back behind you all your life? Isn’t that too confident of you?”
Fredric burned in rage while listening to Neil. Due to his intoxication, his fist stopped listening to him, and he brought it up to throw it at Neil.
Early in the morning…
Zephyr stared dumbly at the row of pregnancy test kits in front of him. Big and small, thick and thin, each kit showed two red lines.
