The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1346

With hundreds of thoughts running down her mind, Holley took out her cell phone from her bag and logged in her WeChat account absent-mindedly. Looking at Black's profile picture, she was lost in thoughts while unconsciously rubbing the screen with her finger. She was half-minded as to whether she would send him a message or not.

However, she thought that if Black still cared for her, her plan would work. With all her hopes high, she was carefully thinking about her plan of action, though her mind was a bit preoccupied at the moment.

Pushing through with her plan, she opened the chatting window and typed words intermittently, but didn't send them out yet. For a moment, she paused and wondered if Black was making love with the woman who had been in his arms.

The thought made her shiver in annoyance. However, no matter what it would take, she wanted to bet that Black still cared for her and wanted her back.

Though she wasn't sure about her assumption, in Black's point of view, she didn't guess wrong.

In his apartment, Black was lying in the bed, tossing and turning while cuddling a pillow on the side of his bed. He was not in the least sleepy and Holley's face constantly flashed in his mind and the look on her face as she saw him intertwine with another woman. He didn't want to admit that he couldn't forget Holley, but that was the case right now.

Thinking about how foolish he was, Black smiled bitterly. In one way or another, Holley had been special to him and he felt comfortable and at peace whenever he was with her. Admitting it all, he must say he had loved that woman whether he liked it or not. How ironic! Although it was Holley who had betrayed him first, he didn't want even to pretend to be intimate with other women. Though he had been used to playing with women before, yet this time he couldn't understand why he felt guilty in some way. When he was kissing that woman, Holley's angelic face kept flashing on his mind as if reminding him to stop what he was doing. Black was totally in a daze at this moment.

Thus, to shut all these thoughts out of his mind, he picked up his cell phone and looked for something that would entertain him as he wanted to have some fun. But unconsciously, he opened the chatting record between Holley and him. The sweet moments in the past were still vivid in his mind, but now, they were more like a huge irony to him.

Before today, Black had always been frequently checking his cell phone, for fear of missing any of Holley's messages. He was like a lad fallen deeply in love—even a casual reply from her would have made him blush with excitement.

Reading through the messages, he pulled himself back to reality and was about to exit the chatting interface with Holley, but suddenly found the prompt displaying "Holley is typing..." At the sight of the prompt, his heart thumped faster. He wondered what could she be sending him this time. Would she apologize? Black went excited and puzzled at the same time.

He waited patiently not taking his eyes away from the phone screen. However, after a few minutes, he still hadn't received any message from Holley though the chatting interface still showing that "Holley is typing..."

What did she want to say to him? Was it that long that up to now she wasn't able to send it out? Or was she still thinking about what else to say? Was there anything to say between them after all? Maybe the chatting app was just broken, or the connection was just poor. With these questions in mind, Black thought angrily and opted to just turn his phone off.

But he couldn't shift his eyes away from the screen, nor did he dare to turn it off. He was just so curious to know what Holley was about to say.

At the bar

Around Holley, some people were walking up and down the stage while some were hailing in excitement. But none of these could impact Holley's mood. She felt the world seem to be quite and time seem to stand still. She was immersed in her world and just kept her silence while looking very lonely.

Amidst the loud music and the dim dancing lights, she looked at the colorful cocktail in front of her with eyes that were dull and blank.

Although she was already very drunk and she already looked wasted, she managed to stay conscious and she still remembered what she would do tonight. Holley had a surprisingly admiring sense of self-control.

Under the impact of the alcohol, her hands trembled slightly as she raised her cell phone and took a selfie. In the photo, she looked a little drunk and her narrowed eyes were innocent and charming. Behind her was the dim dancing floor, swarming with maniac looking men ready to devour any innocent drunk girl if they were given the chance.

With the photo captured perfectly as she desired, she typed for quite a while before editing the content she would post in her WeChat Moments.

The caption said, "The man I love deeply misunderstood me. My heart aches so hard that I can't breathe. I just want to get drunk at the Blue Shadow Bar. But why so many nasty men come to me and harass me? I just want to stay quiet and enjoy the moment alone."

Holley repeatedly checked the fussy and sentimental words and confirmed everything was okay before releasing the message and the photo in her WeChat Moments.
