At the Bask Residence.
It was the same as last night, Sarah just finished her shower and heard her phone ring.
This time, she was familiar with the signs and she was prepared.
“Matthew, didn’t I say not to call me unnecessarily? Why don’t you listen?”
Sarah said with a hint of upset.
“Why do I have to listen to you? Have you ever listened to me?”
“…”
“I’m worried that Andrew will get angry, he is a man and you are you. It’s not appropriate.”
She said politely.
Sarah didn’t want to get Andrew upset after what happened today. She felt that she was in the wrong and should now consider for him.
But the other party didn’t take heed and continued to pester, “I want to see you, can you come out tomorrow?”
“NO!”
She replied without hesitation.
Cannot.
Sarah kept shaking her head and it was as if Matthew could imagine the way she rejected. She began to be agitated and grab onto the cell phone and her breathing hastened.
This was like she rejected a person and she wasn’t used to it. She felt bad about it.
He should be having all sorts of pleasant things, why does he have to suffer like this?
“Why? Give me a reason.”
He calms down and didn’t want to force her. He wanted her to relax as much as possible.
Sarah bites her lips, how can she say the reason, if she did, she could face a terrible end!
Can she appear in front of him?
How does a bowl of soup taste to a beggar? She knows very well the feeling.
“Matthew, listen to me, next time minimize contacting me. In fact, don’t contact me if…”
“Sarah, try saying that again.”
He swiftly replied and forcibly blocked what Sarah wanted to say. She was stunned.
Okay, she’ll not say any further.
“It’s late! Let’s rest. I still need to work tomorrow.” She repeatedly avoided him which triggered his rage. It was as if she had thrown fuel on the fire and he erupted, “Do I disgust you? Are you hoping that I disappear from this earth? Which parts of me do you despise and reject? Tell me? I’ll change!”
Sarah was already trembling with fear. She simply didn’t want any more contact with him for fear that Andrew will misunderstand.
Though it was likely that he won’t back tonight.
“That’s not what I meant, Matthew, can you please calm down?”
Sarah still cannot overcome her soft-heartedness and explained, “I’m now married and am different from the past. I’d already distance myself from Bruce Randall. Can you not make things difficult for me?”
“What? You equate me to Bruce?”
He emphasized the word “equate”.
She smacked her forehead and felt hurt within. Come on, this isn’t the main point.
“Matthew, you’re sensitive since you were young, I know. But it is meaningless to harp on this point. Both of you won’t have any further relationship with me.”
Sarah said truthfully. She might as well tell him exactly as she felt.
“Damn you, Sarah! Sarah!” He yelled with all his might.
Sarah couldn’t find a suitable way to continue the conversation and the only thing she could do was to hang up the call.
“Since that is nothing else to say, I’ll…”
She quickly ended the call before he could reply and just at that moment, someone rushed in from the room.
