‘What will come will come!’ The worst and most worrying thing did happen now. Seeing the man he
liked holding another woman, Juliet did not know how to describe her feeling right now.
She felt her heart suffocated and even out of breath.
Her eyes got wet unconsciously, but she still forced a smile and said, "Hello."
Hearing the voice, the two who had been talking looked up and both were stunned when they saw her.
Payton was the first to react and he asked in surprise, "Why are you here?”
Juliet shrugged her shoulders and said, "You didn't answer my phone. I thought something happened
to you, so I came over to have a look."
“Didn't I?" Payton frowned. He fumbled about in his pockets and then smiled apologetically at her,
"Sorry, I forgot to take my phone.”
"It's fine.” Juliet smiled, but not heartily.
She shifted her gaze to the woman in his arms, and a trace of coldness quickly flashed through her
eyes. The corner of her lips curled into a sneer, "It's because of her that you stood me up tonight?”
Hearing this, Payton remembered what he had promised her. He smiled embarrassedly at her and then
explained, “I wasn't deliberate. It's just that Tracy wasn't feeling well so I took her to the hospital and
forgot about what I promised to you.”
Tracy? Juliet raised her eyebrows slightly, and a trace of mockery appeared in her eyes. ‘You two are
really intimate:
Sensing her displeasure, Tracy hurriedly moved aside a little, intending to withdraw from Payton's
embrace.
However, she didn't feel well indeed. His feet gave way and he almost fell. Fortunately, Payton quickly
responded and supported her. "How are you?"
Payton's nervous expression plus his concerned voice really stirred up the jealousy and dissatisfaction
in her heart.
Juliet's entire face sank as she stared coldly at Tracy.
Tracy grabbed onto Payton's arm and barely managed to stand firm. She smiled weakly at him and
said, “I'm fine.”
Then, she raised her head and met Juliet's cold gaze. Startled in heart, she subconsciously wanted to
let go of Payton's arm, but before her hand was off, her entire body was lifted up.
It turned out that Payton had carried her up. She stared at his handsome face in surprise.
He said gently, "I'll carry you in so that you won't fall again.”
His gentleness rippled her mind. She looked down slightly to hide the emotions in her eyes and softly
replied, "Thank you.”
In Juliet's eyes, this scene was like a knife fiercely stabbing into her heart.
It hurt, so much.
Payton carried Tracy and walked past her as if he didn't see her.
She heard Tracy whisper, “Juliet, I'm sorry.”
Sorry?
Juliet cracked a smile, her eyes full of ridicule. She turned around and walked towards them.
Payton was struggling to open the door. Juliet came over and directly took the key.
“I’lI open it.”
With that, she opened the door and then followed in as Payton carried Tracy into the room first.
Payton gently placed Tracy on the sofa, and then turned to look at Juliet, his eyebrows raised slightly,
“Aren't you gonna go
back home now? Wouldn't your father nag you since it's already so late?”
"Why would he? I'll just say that I'm with you.”
Juliet said nonchalantly, then walked over and sat beside Tracy.
Looking at Tracy's pale face, she frowned slightly and asked with concern, "Tracy, what's wrong with
you?"
Just now, she kept a cold and unhappy expression on her face, but now she turned to be pleasant and
friendly. Such a
sudden change caused Tracy a little dumbfounded, and she even felt it a little scary.
However, Tracy still smiled and answered her truthfully, “It's Gastroenteritis. I've been suffering from
diarrhea and vomiting. If it weren't for Payton, I would have been dehydrated and fainted.”
As she spoke, she raised her head to look at Payton, her eyes filled with gratitude.
Juliet smiled, "You are my friend, and Payton is my boyfriend. He should help you.”
To be honest, only a fool wouldn't be able to tell what she meant at this moment.
Payton raised his eyebrows slightly. 'Was she jealous just now?’
Tracy smiled awkwardly. She lowered her head and whispered, “Juliet, I'm sorry to make you unhappy.”
Juliet still smiled gently, "No, I'm not unhappy. On the contrary, I'm very happy that my boyfriend is such
a kind person.”
“What do you think, Payton?” She turned to ask Payton.
Payton raised his eyebrows, "As you said.”
Juliet glanced at him and then said to Tracy concernedly, "Since you feel unwell, go have rest early.
Payton and I won't disturb
you.”
Tracy curled her lips weakly, "OK, you guys can go back first.”
Although she was still feeling sick and wished for someone to accompany her, she still had her
rationality. The two before her
were a couple, so she couldn't be so thick-skinned to ask one of them to stay with her.
Payton felt it improper to left her alone. "No, I'll stay with you. My dear Miss Elton, you can go back
first.”
Hearing that he was going to stay with Tracy, Juliet had a touch of anger flashed across her eyes. How
could she leave the two of them stay together in the same room?
"No, you have to come with me.” Juliet requested in a domineering tone.
Payton also insisted, “Tracy is so weak. If anything happens, we both are to blame.”
Seeing the displeasure on Juliet's face, Tracy hurriedly said to Payton, “Payton, I'm fine. I can take care
of myself.”
Payton looked at her angrily, "You can't even stand firm. How can you able take care of yourself?"
Tracy really wanted him to stay with her, but ... she looked at Juliet timidly.
Juliet turned her head to look at her, and then looked at Payton who seemed indisputable. She
understood that it was
impossible for her to force him to leave her alone.
Thus, she compromised.
“I'll stay too."
When Tracy heard that she was going to stay, a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes. She had a
faint smile and said,
"How honorable I am. I can have you by my side when I'm sick."
Payton didn't expect her to stay. He couldn't help but laugh and tease, "Dear Miss Elton, are you
worried about me?"
Juliet sneered, "That's right. I'm just worried about you. I'm afraid that you'll do something to Tracy
when she is still sick.”
‘Look at her!’
"Dear Miss Elton, am I so inhuman?” Payton looked at her with a half-smile.
“Ha! Inhuman, that's exactly what you are!" Juliet scolded him without mercy.
Payton burst into laughter and shook his head helplessly. "I didn't expect that I would actually be such a
person in your heart. It hurts me so much.’
"You'd better be hurt.” Juliet glared at him angrily. However, the smile on her lips betrayed her.
Now she was happier after bickering a little with him.
