Miya is in complete distress. Although she doesn't want to see such a scene, she has to confirm it. Otherwise, she would never accept it.
"John, I want to play more games." Rory reveals a bright smile. Her face is slightly red and she looks very cute and charming. And the way she speaks tells that she is being loved.
John keeps looking at her face with affection. Then, he smiles with gratification and gently touches her forehead. They are intimate.
Obviously, they are in love.
What about her? Why even bother following them? Maybe she really has nothing to do now. How could she be so stupid as to stalk them? The scene slaps her on the face.
Miya does not want to keep following them. Because what she sees from beginning to end is their intimacy, she does not want to suffer this anymore.
Just as she is sinking into a chair, she suddenly sees an ice cream handed over to her by someone.
She looks up and is so scared that she almost can't breathe, because the person standing in front of her is John. After she takes a deep breath, she looks at him blankly.
This man always reminds her of Alex, because they are so alike. Or maybe it is because she hasn't seen Alex for too long. She misses him very much.
"The ice cream is for you." John still has a bright smile on his face.
It is his voice that pulls her thoughts back. In the end, she decides to take the ice cream in his hand.
"Where's your ... Rory?" She is surprised that she does not see Rory around him. Having observed them today, she comes to the conclusion that Rory is like glue, sticking to him at all times.
"I asked Rory to buy me something. You must be exhausted after following me all day."
After she receives the ice cream, John sits beside her and suddenly utters these words. It shocks Miya.
"How do you know?" Miya widens her eyes and looks at the man in front of her incredibly. Although he seems calm and friendly, he already knows it. He decides to let sleeping dogs lie by asking Rory to go somewhere else. Then, he quietly walks over to her.
However, the way he acts is somewhat similar to Alex. According to her observation, the man has a different personality from Alex. Yet, his attitude towards his girlfriend is the same as Alex has treated her.
"I know I may look like your friend, which is why you always want to follow me and my girlfriend. But if you keep following me like this, she won't be happy after she knows. I don't want to make my girlfriend unhappy. So, I hope you won't do this again."
John says this straightforwardly to her. His resolute attitude disappoints her greatly. Although she knows that the man in front of her is a stranger, she always mistakes him for Alex.
