Chapter 1105 Dinner
Time seemed to pass incredibly slowly, and the distance felt unusually long. Jewel couldn’t see anyone; she could only hear the increasingly intense beating of her own heart.
Thump, thump, thump…
Each beat was louder than the previous one as if the whole world could hear it.
She longed for that person to be him, yet she also feared it was him. She feared what would happen after they met and what they would say to each other.
She had always believed that he invested more in this relationship, while she was the one devoid of emotions and cold-blooded. She had also believed that she was strong, capable of both holding on and letting go. However, she realized that she had already fallen deep into it today. She was weak and unable to hold on or let go.
Every night, her longing overwhelmed her. How many times had she wanted to throw caution to the wind and go find him, only to retreat at the last moment!
Initially, it was her rationality that suppressed these impulsive thoughts.
Later, when he didn’t come to find her either, she thought that perhaps he had already moved on with someone else.
After all, a playboy like Alex was never lacking in women. So, fear took root in her heart, and she dared not look for him anymore!
She even began to believe that maybe he didn’t like her that much after all!
Otherwise, how could he endure not coming to see her?
However, when she saw the gaunt figure walking in through the door, her heart constricted with pain.
It had only been two months since they last saw each other, yet she almost couldn’t recognize the man before her.
His hair was a bit long which indicated a lack of grooming. His complexion was somewhat dull, with sunken cheeks and dark circles under his eyes. Despite having his beard shaved, one could still imagine how desolate he looked with the beard.
He glanced at everyone but deliberately skipped over her. Then, he jokingly said, “You guys really have no manners. You didn’t wait for me!”
Eugene pointed to his wristwatch. “Look at the time!”
