Chapter 125
I have been assuming that Javier had no clue about my past but I was wrong. The rumours about me on the internet was too hot and everyone knew what happened one year ago.
I was fooling myself by acting like an innocent woman in front of him for a year. How would he see me now?
“When did you find it out? Recently or a long time ago?”
Tlooked out the window and didn’t dare look at his facial expression.
“Actually, the time when we met on the plane wasn’t the first time we met. I have met you a long time ago, when you were in year four of degree, I was in the second year, I was an exchange student. I knew you by then, but you didn’t. I even talked to you at the cafeteria if you remembered.”
I was surprised by the words of Javier. He knew me since I was in the last year of degree and he recognized me on the plane. He doesn’t feel
disgusted by me knowing that I was a mistress and he even helped for so many times.
“You were working back then, sol barely see you around on the campus. I really wanted to get to know you but you had a boyfriend that time so I gave up. It was until one year ago I met you again, I recognized you at first sight and you know it is impossible to not see all the news on the internet but I believe that you would never do something like that, you must have your reasons.”
There were times when Leo Mason
would come and visit me on campus.
Javier must have misunderstood the relationship between me and Leo back then. I liked Leo a lot at that time, I would always stick to him like a koala bear whenever he came to visit me back then.
“Why would you believe me?! You don’t even know me!” I couldn’t control myself to not shout at Javier.
Javier stopped the car beside the road and held my shoulder, making me face him. He tilted my chin up and looked into my eyes, “You asked me why would I believe you? I am telling you right now that I believe in you because of your eyes. You have no idea how pure your eyes are. You will never be that kind of woman.”
Javier stopped for a second before he started to talk again, “I know you don’t like that man, Nini. I can tell that
you hate him by seeing how you lose control every time you see him. You are not happy with him. But you are happy when you are with me, I can feel it. So, follow your heart, Nini. Stop bottling up all your feelings.”
Even though Javier is younger than me, he has taught me a lot of things. He was right, I will lose control every time I see Lance Mason, but he knew my past now, I couldn’t be like how we used to be anymore.
“Just drive. Let bygones be bygones, I don’t want to talk about this
anymore.”
I placed his hand that was on my shoulder back to his lap and turned my head away from him.
