When Nina locked the bathroom door and was ready to take a shower, Cameron's voice came again. "Nina…"
Nina shouted angrily before he could finish. "Shut up!"
She wasn't in the mood to talk to him since she was quite mad at him. What she wanted was not his expression of love but an explanation for why he had disappeared without a word and had never contacted her all these years. If he still loved her, why didn't he contact her? Was he happy to see her suffering from the pain of loss? All these years, if he had shown any sign that he still loved her, she would not be so desperate.
When she knew he was angry with her since she took the check and gave up the relationship so easily under his mother's pressure, she was depressed and regretful, suffering from insomnia and anxiety for a long time. When he finally came back, he didn't say a word about his sudden disappearance. How could she reconcile with him if he didn't want to explain anything? Besides, it was when she finally decided to give up her affection for him that he came back. How could she face him with a clear mind?
But Cameron didn't give up, continuing, "I just want to ask you something. Do you…still love me?"
"No, I am over you," Nina answered without hesitation.
Outside the bathroom door, Cameron fell into a brief silence but he insisted, "Open the door, look in my eyes, and say it again."
Nina rolled her eyes. She would never open the door because if she did so, all the advantages would be taken by Cameron. So, instead, she yelled at him, "Cameron, get out of my house before I finish showering or I will break your legs. You hear me?"
Cameron sneered, "Great, I would like to see if you can really break my legs before I make your legs limp from sex."
Nina blushed at his words. It never occurred to her that Cameron, a shy and timid boy years ago, would become such a licentious man.
Finding Nina was embarrassed, Cameron felt much better. Then he said, "I can leave now and I will give you enough time to think about our relationship, but you'd better give me the answer I want." Leaving his words, he walked back to the bedroom to put on his clothes before he left.
To be honest, Cameron was quite upset at Nina's attitude. The last time when Nina ran away from him, he told himself it was probably because she was shocked by his sudden return and needed some time to accept him. But this time, several days later, she still gave him the cold shoulder even when she accepted the fact that he was back. She even said she was over him, which hurt him like a sharp knife. All these years, when he was struggling, knowing that she was missing him filled him with the power to move on and overcome difficulties. But what she said today broke his heart into pieces.
When Nina went out of the bathroom, Cameron had already gone. Watching the empty bedroom, Nina felt as if there was something lost in her heart. Wrapping herself in the bathrobe, Nina sat on the bed blankly until her phone rang.
It was Sherlyn on the other side of the phone, and she asked sulkily, "What the hell are you doing, Nina? The brand has already delivered the clothes."
"I will be there in a minute." Nina recovered from her emotion and said calmly.
"Whatever, take your time." Sherlyn sighed and hung up the phone.
Nina put on some casual wear and drove to Sherlyn's place.
The brand has delivered two outfits, one of which is black and the other is white; both had one suit jacket and a pair of trousers. Nina chose the white one because the tops only exposed her waist rather than her collarbones. So, she could show off her good figure without the worry of revealing the marks on her collarbones. The black suit had only the outwear, without any innerwear for matching, which was the style she actually adored, but she couldn't wear it now since Cameron left so many marks on her body.
