Troy points to the computer, "But I need ten more minutes to read the file I just received."
"OK, take your time."
She jumps off his lap, walks to the bookshelf, pulls out a book at random and reads it.
After reading it for a while, her slender waist is suddenly hugged tightly, and the familiar scent follows.
"Done?"
"Yep."
After shower, he comes to lie down beside her, and asks softly, "Are you asleep?"
She closes her eyes and does not answer him.
A fresh scent comes out, and it is he who is kissing her. He kisses her from time to time, like a feather
brush, itchy and numb.
"Karin, I love you."
She opens her eyes and frowns slightly, "Troie, why do you keep saying you love me tonight?"
"Aren't you asleep?" Troy raises his eyebrows in surprise.
"No. I just don't want to talk."
"Why do you talk as you don't want to talk?"
Karin blinks her clever eyes, "That's because you have been saying you love me."
"Have I?"
"Yes! You have said this three times in just a few hours since you came back."
Troy smiles with blinking eyes, "I don't remember, but isn't it good to say I love you? Don't you like
being loved by me?"
"Of course, I like it. But you don't have to say love all the time, it's cheesy."
Karin drills into his arms shyly. It is almost autumn. Even though the window is closed, it is still a little
cold.
When receiving a call from Stanley without warning, Karin is surprised and angry. She asks
unceremoniously on the phone, "How did you get my number?"
From the other end comes Stanley's cynical smile, "It's just a piece of a cake. I can get anything as I
want."
"What do you want to do?"
"Come out and meet me, I want to talk to you..."
"I have no time!"
Just as she is about to hang up, Stanley says confidently, "If you don't come out, then I will go to your
school to find you."
After experiencing what happened last time, she dares not to let him come to school again. She says
through clenched teeth, "Why are you so shameless? If you harass me again, I will call the police!"
"Cape Café, if you don't come within half an hour, I will go to you."
... Stanley hangs up the phone decisively, not giving her a chance to refuse.
Karin stomps annoyedly. She is extremely angry! She worries that he will really come to school. In
order to avoid trouble, she finally decides to attend the appointment. On the way there, Karin vows
secretly that she will let Stanley give up this time and completely get rid of his harassment!
When Karin arrives at Cape Café, she sees Stanley in a white suit. He waves at her for fear that she
cannot see where he is.
Suppressing the anger in her heart, Karin walks over. She says straightforwardly, "The reason why I am
here is to make things clear. Mr. Ball. I don’t like you at all. To be frank, even if all the men in the world
die, I will never be with you!"
Stanley is stunned. Maybe he doesn't expect that she will say such unpleasant words as soon as she
sees him. His look turns to be gloomy, "It is premature to say that. Not to mention that all men in the
world are not dead. Even if they die, can you be sure you won't be with me in the future?"
"I can be sure. I swear on my honor that I will die if I am with you!"
"You…"
Stanley is really angry. Suddenly, he sneers, "You are so arbitrary because you are sure that Troy will
give you a happy future?"
"That's my business with him, there is no need to tell you!"
"Well, seeing you are still dreaming in the dark, I can't bear to hide it from you anymore. Listen
carefully! Troy will marry Mia soon. It won’t be long before he abandons you!"
"Bullshit!"
Karin picks up the coffee in front of him angrily and splashes it on his face.
Stanley wipes off the coffee stains on his face slowly. Then he gets up abruptly, and squeezes her
wrist, "Bullshit? You are too stupid. Everyone knows about this matter in the Charles family. Only you,
an idiot, who is still in the dark. I should not tell you. It will be a pleasure to let you witness it on the day
of Troy’s wedding!"
Only you, an idiot, who is still in the dark... only you, an idiot, who is still in the dark... idiot... idiot...
Familiar and vague words, like a time bomb, banges, making her dizzy. She leans against the wall
tremblingly, closing her eyes. Some pictures begin to flash——
"Karin, I love you so much, I can't bear to hurt you. Remember, no matter what happens in the future,
the person I love the most is you..."
"Karin, I admit that I hated you before. But in the future, I don't think I will hate you anymore..."
"If I say that this wedding dress is for me to get married, will you believe it..."
"One day you will understand if you are a fool..."
"Why do you keep saying that you love me tonight... do I? I don't remember... Yes, you do. You have
said it three times in just a few hours since you came back..."
