On the night of Shayne’s birthday, he had quite a lot to drink with Lucas before returning back to the Luna Mansion.
A female figure blocked him when the car arrived at the entrance.
The driver did not expect that a person would suddenly rush out in the dark.
He quickly slammed on the brakes. Thankfully the car had a good braking system, so he did not crash into her.
Shayne was in the back seat, slightly tipsy. He was hurled forward by the emergency brakes and was a little annoyed. He was about to yell at the driver when he lifted his head and noticed the familiar looking slender figure in front of him.
The car lights were shining on the lady.
For a moment, Shayne thought he saw wrongly. He had a closer look and realized he was not wrong.
The lady that was standing in front of the car looked too different from the person he remembered from his memories.
Shayne stumbled out of the car and placed one hand on the hood of the car as he furrowed his brows. He looked at Cara in front of him and said impatiently, “Blocking my car? Are you trying to extort me for money or are you seeking death?” His tone was fierce.
It was a night in March and North City’s weather was still cold.
Cara was only wearing a thinly knitted shirt in the chilly spring breeze. It looked extremely thin. She looked at Shayne, aggrieved, “Master Shayne, I heard from my mother that it’s your birthday today, so I came from school and waited for you here… I’ve not had my dinner till now. Master Shayne, I’m here to celebrate your birthday.”
Cara, with a cake in her hands, smiled at Shayne shyly and said, “Master Shayne, I made this cake myself.”
Shayne was getting annoyed with her.
Although Yanny and Cara were from different mothers, they shared the same father. Cara would come to hang out with him when she had nothing to do, just to show her affection, whereas Yanny was a significantly different person compared to her. She barely wished him a happy birthday, let alone baked him a cake.
If Cara and Yanny could swap characters, that would be great.
However, Shayne felt that that was not the case. He brought it upon himself. He liked Yanny’s unlikeable character.
There were many people who were pleasing to the eye, but Yanny's unpleasant personality was rare.
Shayne raised his eyebrows. Although he did not like Cara, she baked him a cake and waited for him in the cold. He did not bother to say anything nasty, so he merely said, “I’m not eating the cake. Go back.”
“Why don’t I make you dinner, Master Shayne? You worked till late, so I’m sure you haven’t eaten yet, right? I learned how to cook from a chef when I was in university, so why don’t I cook for you, Master Shayne?”
Shayne lost his patience. He said in annoyance, “Do you not understand the human language? Don’t block my way. Leave!”
Cara stood there, aggrieved. She was almost in tears. She looked at him with reddened eyes and said, “Why do you dislike me? Yanny went to Hollywood and dumped you, so what's so good about her? She’s just a gold digger. When she finished using you, she just threw you aside!”
“Shut up!”
Cara’s words triggered Shayne. It lit the fury in his heart.
He could think of a million reasons why Yanny was not a good person. He could call her a heartless b*tch who dumped him after using him.
However, only he could say things like that. No one else could say bad things about Yanny.
Lucas had one drink too many and started talking without restraint earlier. He said that Yanny was a heartless gold digger and was immediately punched by Shayne in the face.
Shayne would protect those close to him to an unreasonable point.
Even though Lucas was siding with him, talking bad about Yanny was not something Shayne would be able to accept.
If anyone complained about Yanny, it would be an insult to him.
Shayne angrily got into the car and slammed the door. He yelled at the driver, “Drive!”
Cara was still in front of the car, blocking the road.
