"Heaven pepper, should I love a woman who gives up on me as soon as her ex comes back?" asked Jim.
"When did I say that I would give up on you?" Eva stared at him angrily.
"Didn't you choose Vinton when he came back?" Jim sneered.
"I didn't say that I want to choose Vinton. I just don't know what to do. You are all the most important people to me," said Eva.
Hearing this, Jim felt much better. It seemed that he had been promoted to the same position as Vinton, which was a great progress.
However, what he cared most now was to let her get down as soon as possible. It was too dangerous to stand there.
"Heaven pepper, come down first. Let me tell you, do I love you or not?" he said.
"I won't come down. You want to lie to me again. You will lie to me." Eva stared at him angrily.
"When did I lie to you?" Jim said as he approached her secretly.
In a daze, Eva didn't notice that. She sniffed and a tear fell down. "Do you love me or not? Do you just want to take revenge on me?"
"Do you need to doubt what is my feeling to you?" Jim took another step forward.
"Then why should you drive me away? I'm not a pet. If you don't like me, just kick me out." Eva was furious.
"Idiot, you didn't see it at all. I'm angry." Jim was at a loss whether to cry or to laugh.
"Do you get angry just because I choose Vinton instead of you?" Eva pouted, "You are too mean, aren't you? I won't be angry if you choose Janice instead of me. I'm very generous."
Jim was in a mess.
"Are you really not angry?"
"I'm not angry. I will feel a little sad. But I can accept it. After all, she is your first love. Love should value the order of time," said Eva.
"The order of time means nothing in love. As long as you are not married, everyone has the right to pursue you," said Jim.
"Is that so?" Eva tilted her head and looked at him drunkenly.
"Drunkard, how much wine did you drink today?" Jim took another step forward.
"Not much, just one or two bottles of whiskey," Eva said. In fact, she couldn't remember. She only said the numbers casually. "My heart hurts very much. It's all your fault. One day I'm going to die, and you'll be the chief culprit."
While she was talking, Jim walked up to her and said, "Heaven pepper, you're in love with me, aren't you?"
"No... I'm not." Eva was shocked. It was impossible for her to fall in love with Jim.
When she was in a daze, Jim stretched out his strong arm, grabbed her arm, pulled her down and pulled her into his arms.
"Idiot, if you don't love me, how can it hurt here?" Jim pointed at her chest.
"How can I not be sad if I am driven out?" Tears welled up in Eva's eyes. She felt terrible at the thought that he drove her out and packed and threw her things here. He hadn't talked to her for many days.
"Nothing else? Didn't you doubt that I didn't love you just now?" Jim sneered. This woman was just too stupid.
"You said you wanted to be my tree and be a gorilla with me. I believed you, but you lied to me. Of course I was sad. I decided to give up Vinton and live with you. I didn't expect you to be a liar."
Eva's thick long eyelashes flickered, and tears streamed down.
Jim lowered his head and kissed away the tears on her face. "Idiot, I won't teach you a lesson or punish you. Otherwise, how can you know how important I am and cherish me?"
"When do I think you are not important? You and Vinton are the most important people in my heart, more important than myself," said Eva.
Jim stroked her little face. He didn't want to compete with Vinton, nor did he expect that he would surpass the position of Vinton in her heart.
At the most critical moment, Vinton gave her the only life-saving Jacket, which meant he gave her the hope of survival. This would be a scar in her heart forever, and even time could not heal it.
She would always think that her life was earned by Vinton. She would feel guilty, sorry and grateful. He would firmly occupy her heart.
A dead person's heart would occupy a person's heart for a longer and more solid than a living person's.
For example, Rose in the Titanic, even if she got married later and had a husband, a family and a child, Jack would always live in her heart and would not be forgotten until the end of her life.
"I hope Vinton is still alive. If he is still alive, I will have the chance to win your heart. Otherwise, I will always be on the same level as him," he said in a low voice.
"Scum Jim, in fact, I was very happy for a while when you told me that you liked me that day. I don't know what's wrong with me. My brain and my heart are often separated. I have told myself in my mind that I should be happy, but I am sad in my heart. My mind has told me not to do anything, but my heart has to think a lot. Am I particularly stupid?"
