Her expression was a little cold. "Let's go to the cafe where we went to last time. Also, don't hold my arm. I don't like being affectionate with you."
Selina's breathing became a little weaker.
A touch of bitterness flashed through her eyes.
It seemed like Caroline was still reluctant to be friends with her. However, it was all her fault, so she could not blame Caroline for it.
At the cafe, Caroline ordered two cups of black coffee without asking for Selina's preference.
Selina couldn't help but say softly, "Caroline, I don't like black coffee. I like cappuccinos."
Caroline smiled at Selina and said matter-of-factly, "But I do. Can't you just join me?"
Selina was speechless.
"Okay." She forced a smile.
Caroline was the only person who could make her act so dutifully at that moment. After all, she indeed owed Caroline a lot.
Soon, the steaming hot coffee was served.
Caroline took a sip.
Selina didn't drink the coffee.
She didn't like black coffee.
Caroline stared at Selina and said, "Why don't you take a sip? You're making me look bad."
Selina had no choice but to force herself to take a sip.
Caroline felt a pleasant sensation surging up upon seeing Selina's furrowed brows as she took a sip of her coffee.
'Bitter, right? That's how I felt and wanted her to feel!' she thought.
Caroline put down her coffee and said, "Selina, I saw you and Dylan in the amusement park that time."
Selina was stunned.
She looked at Caroline in shock.
Caroline elegantly smiled at her and said, "Dylan. I remember that he used to be the most popular guy on campus. His existence caused an uproar the moment he came to our campus. Even the girls from other universities came to see him just because of his looks. Unfortunately, such a handsome guy was taken by you, Selina."
A perplexed look flashed through Selina's eyes.
What Caroline said was something that had happened a long time ago.
So long it seemed like centuries ago.
Caroline calmly pressed the recording pen in her pocket. "I thought you're no longer with him anymore. I didn't expect you guys to still be together after so many years. It seems that your campus love with him is as firm as a rock. I really didn't expect you both to still be together after so many years."
"I even remember how crazily in love you were with him to the point that you could do anything for him, even sacrificing your life. So deeply in love that such a person like you would even put aside your pride when you're with him."
Selina bit her lower lip and said, "Caroline, you don't have to continue. It's all in the past."
Caroline's curled her lips up into a smile as if she didn't hear Selina. "Your relationship with Dylan was so good it made people envious. Selina, I reckon you would have died for Dylan if needed, right?"
Selina looked at Caroline and said, "Caroline, stop. Didn't I say that this is already in the past? Why are you bringing this up?"
She paused for a while and then lowered her voice, "I have already broken up with him."
Caroline's eyes widened as she said, "However, I saw you two hugging each other last time, and it was a very intimate hug."
Selina's breathing became weak.
She said in a painful and embarrassed tone, "That was the last time, it won't happen again. We've already broken up."
"One last time." Caroline deliberately lowered her voice and then suddenly raised her voice. "Then did you both get in bed that one last time?"
Selina was stunned for a moment. She looked at Caroline, her face frozen with disbelief.
Caroline smiled at Selina, "Tell me, how was it, was it intense?"
Selina stood up abruptly saying, "Caroline, have you had enough?"
