Wendy was stubborn. Bain knew she was pissed.
Before she calmed down, his words would just be nonsense to her.
Bain sighed and watched Wendy walking into the school.
Wendy was listless for the whole day.
Gorman heard Wendy got hurt in the morning. So at noon, he searched the campus for her. Finally at the playground, he found her sitting on the stone stairs. Wendy was reading a book.
From a long distance, Gorman felt as if he was watching the Wendy from the past.
Back then, they would set a time to meet. And Wendy would always arrive early, studying and waiting for him.
He would prepare some snacks for her and rushed to meet her.
After running, he calmed himself down first. Then he walked slowly to Wendy and sat down in front of her.
His walking noise made Wendy look up.
Gorman frowned at her ankle, "Why are you so careless?"
He wanted to touch her foot, but Wendy moved her leg away.
"Wendy, let's make up, huh? I don't want to go on like this. Without you, my life is lifeless. Let's get married. I swear that I will never betray you again. I will always treat you well."
Wendy looked at Gorman's passionate and sorrowful eyes for a long time.
Gorman leaned forward to half kneel in front of Wendy. Then he held her hands.
"Wendy, don't abandon me. You said before that because I had took the 99 steps to you, so you took the final step to me. Now, I wish I can have the chance to start with you all over again. Please just stand still, waiting me to finish the 100 steps, okay? "
