Supreme Mars novel Chapter 231

Leo was driving the car in a steady pace, while Caroline remained seated in the front seat with red rims of eyes, yet she was not emotional as she used to.

Seeing Leo, who was calm, Caroline wanted to say something several times. However, words were on the tip of her tongue and she found it hard to say anything.

“Do you want to have a talk?”

Suddenly, Leo turned around and asked her peacefully.

“I…”

Caroline looked bewildered and blurted out in haste.

“I am just curious about how did you found me?”

Leo chuckled and responded, “Dad just called me and said you had a quarrel with the family. You ran out of home. He asked me to find you.”

“Well.”

Caroline looked frustrated because she thought at first that Leo was looking for her on purpose-just like last time when they were in the bar.

Leo didn’t say anything further. Caroline also didn’t know what to say. She clenched her hands tightly, looking nervous.

Both of them remained the same until they almost arrived at the Henderson family. Caroline finally couldn’t help asking, “Leo, do you remember what have I told you when we were little?”

“What words?” Leo turned the wheel.

“Well…”

Caroline’s cheek turned red. She gritted her teeth and decided to tell him.

“I have told you that I will not marry anyone except you!”

Leo simply smiled and replied, “Why are you still saying those words? I have already married.”

“I am not requiring you to marry me!”

Caroline turned around to look at him, then she gritted her teeth and continued, “I just, I just want to go back to the past!”

Leo remained silence for a while. He then looked at Caroline in the eye and responded, “I hope you can understand what is true love.”

Caroline showed him blank eyes, finding Leo continued saying in a calm tone, “You are simply in your tough period of being betrayed. I happen to help you recover. What you feel towards me is gratitude instead of love.”

“We are adults now and there is no need to mind our past feuds.”

Caroline’s eyes immediately redded up. She felt her heart was aching. She didn’t know why she hurt more terrible than being betrayed by Benedict. Like peeling the onion, she found her heart was torn apart one cut after another.

It was she who pushed away a man who used to treat her nicely.

That man was supposed to accompany her for the whole life.

Caroline gritted her teeth tightly and tried not to cry out. She really regretted for what she had done.

When they were driving by a noodles store, Caroline suddenly asked, “Do you remember this place?”

Leo glanced outside. There was no ripple in his eyes when he replied, “Yes, we used to eat noodles here when we were little.”

“We don’t want scallions and often ask for extra noodles. We were poor in the past days and had to share the same bowl.”

Caroline forced a smile. She looked at Leo and remarked, “Can we go there one more time? The last time.”

Leo was hesitated for a while and nodded, “Yes.”

He parked the car by the road and went to the café together with Caroline.

It was a small café and was not very tidy. There was no customer inside.

“Boss, we want one bowl of noodles. We don’t want scallions. Add more noodles, please.”

Caroline took out a brand-new note and remarked, “Keep the change.”

After saying this, she opposite to Leo nervously.

Soon, their noodles arrived.

Caroline took two pairs of chopsticks. She was about to give them to Leo, while Leo chuckled and noted, “I will watch you to eat.”

Caroline’s hands suspended in the air. Afterwards, she took back her hands stiffly and started eating by herself.

Slip…

No one talked in the café. There was only Caroline’s hurried eating sound.

Caroline ate the noodles fast in an awkward manner, as if she didn’t eat anything in twenty days.

Leo was sitting opposite to her, watching her have noodles with tranquil eyes.

Caroline was eating more and more fast when her tears dropped into the soup.
