Chapter 1017 I Got The Keys
Jolina turned her face, not needing his sympathy or for him to be her champion. “Get out!” She bellowed at him.
Peter did not get angry like he usually would. Instead, he just pointed his chin toward the coffee table. “I got you some medication. Rub some on the affected areas.”
Jolina frowned, wondering how Peter found out that she was attacked. Suppressing her doubts, she walked over, picked up the medication on the coffee table, and threw it back to him. Then, she said in an icy voice, “I don’t need it. Please get out.” She loathed him. It was his deception and schemes that caused her to lose the person she loved the most. She trusted him in the beginning and truly considered him a friend. But, it turned out that he had been up to no good from the very beginning.
Peter’s face sank, but he still held back his temper.
“Haven’t you had enough fun after all this time? Why do you still refuse to let me go?” Jolina said.
Peter slowly raised his eyes and looked at her. “You always thought that I was in for fun?” Instead of the usual domineering and ingratiating voice, there was a hint of indescribable self–deprecation in his tone.
“I want nothing to do with you, regardless if you are in for fun.” Jolina looked indifferent.
Peter stared at her sullenly for a long time before looking away. He stopped talking, took out a cigarette from the cigarette pack, and lit it. Jolina did not want to talk to him either. If he liked to stay on her couch, then she would let him be. But, as she was about to go to her room, he suddenly tugged on her arm and pulled her to sit on the couch.
Jolina frowned at him. Before she could say anything, Peter said with a weary voice,” Sit with me for a while.” He was not the same as usual. He used to be irritable,
ruthless, and barbaric. But, at this moment, an air of sadness surrounded him.
Jolina was not too concerned about his emotions, and she simply said to him, “Will you leave if I sit with you for a while?”
