Chapter 324
The woman in the mirror’s eyes were still a little red, but the
confusion in them was quickly fading.
“Rebecca, what are you panicking for?”
She spoke to her reflection, almost silently, “Right now, at this
very moment, you’re the one in his house.
You’re the one who held his hand and came home with him.
And you’re the one who’s making him rush to explain, making
him panic.”
“He lied to you, but you lied to him before, too. You’re even.”
“That Rosalind, so what if she comes from a prominent family
and has known him since they were kids?
Isn’t she saying all that just because she can’t have him and
can’t stand it, so she has to come and stir up trouble?”
“Adrian chose you. He hid things from you, and maybe he had his worries and difficulties, but that’s no reason for you to doubt yourself or him first.”
Chapter 324
“You are his girlfriend now.”
That last sentence was like a final verdict, shattering the last bit
of gloom and self–pity in her heart.
Right, she was Adrian’s girlfriend now.
If there’s a problem, then face the problem and solve it.
Hiding away and feeling miserable, or just pushing Adrian to
that ridiculous woman?
That wasn’t her style.
She was bold enough to love, and bold enough to fight for it.
Once she figured that out, most of the cold, stagnant feeling in her chest instantly dissipated.
She even felt that her “sensible” exit just now, leaving them
space, was a bit of… a loss.
Why should she be the one to leave?
That’s her boyfriend, her territory.
Rebecca licked her slightly dry lips, her eyes shining again with
a sharp, determined light.
Chapter 324
She didn’t pull out her phone to call Adrian.
That would be too weak.
Besides, he was definitely confronting Rosalind right now, so it
wouldn’t be convenient to answer the phone..
She pushed the car door open and got out.
She slammed the door shut and locked the car.
Her movements were crisp, filled with a reignited fighting spirit.
She didn’t go back upstairs.
She turned and walked towards the 24–hour convenience store
at the entrance of the complex.
A few minutes later, Rebecca was carrying a clear plastic bag
with two bottles of mineral water and a pack of the cigarettes
Adrian occasionally smoked.
Adrian had never smoked in front of her; she had only seen
them when she was tidying up his room last time. He probably
needed them when he was stressed.
She even bought herself a strawberry–flavored lollipop,
unwrapped it, and stuck it in her mouth.
Chapter 324
She stood downstairs for who knows how long, the cold wind
making her a little chilly. She walked back into the elevator and
pressed the button for Adrian’s floor.
The elevator rose slowly.
She felt a little excited.
She was going to see for herself just what kind of private
matter this Rosalind had, that required her to come over to
someone’s house late at night to talk about.
The elevator dinged and the doors opened. Rebecca went to
open the door.
The confrontation she expected didn’t happen. The living room
was unnervingly quiet. The only thing there was the glass of
water she’d poured before she left, still sitting on the table, its
surface completely undisturbed.
Where were they?
Where were the two people who were just here?
Rebecca found it strange. She pulled out her phone and called
Adrian.
Chapter 324
A phone on the table started vibrating. Adrian hadn’t even taken
his phone.
She paced around the room as a thought popped into her head.
Did Adrian go out with Rosalind?
She dismissed the thought almost instantly.
No way. That wouldn’t be Adrian if he did something like that.
Rebecca turned around almost instantly, rushing out the door
