Startled, Eric murmured, "What?"
"Or if you want to say it here!" Said Melissa.
Eric was silent.
Melissa looked at him. She wanted to say something, her eyes were eager. But eventually said nothing.
Through her eyes, Eric could see the struggle and hesitation in her heart. He didn't know what had
happened, but he had a strong feeling that it was related to what happened about Colin and Mrs.
Fannie today. He didn't know what had happened between them, nor did he know why Melissa was
involved with Colin and Mrs. Fannie. So he couldn't guess what was on Melissa's mind. But when he
saw that she was very uncomfortable, he still wanted to give her a chance to vent her emotion. So he
asked, "Do you feel cold?"
Melissa shook her head. In fact, she was too nervous that she even felt hot. She didn't felt cold at all.
But Eric still took off his coat and put it on her. "If you don't feel cold, let's get out of the car and go for a
walk. It's late. It's not convenient for me to go to your home. "
Deep in her heart, Melissa sighed, 'Eric is a gentleman. He's better than Colin in all aspects. But why
can't I fall in love with such a man?' If she had been involved in Eric before she knew Colin, would she
fall in love with Eric now? As a result, her abnormal love for Colin would never exist?
She couldn't make sure this question for sure. But what she knew about Eric was a far better man than
Colin. So she nodded and said, "There is a park near my home. How about we take a walk there?"
Eric nodded and got out of the car. Then he opened the door for Melissa. After locking the car, they
walked to the park.
Both of them walked very slowly. There was no one else except for the dim street lights. Both of them
had long shadows, like an intimate couple walking in the night.
Wearing the large coat of Eric's, Melissa looked down at their shadows at the ground. She suddenly
calmed down, and the tension she had in the car was gone.
Eric didn't know if he wanted her to relax or not. He didn't mention what had happened but only said
something insignificant, "The environment around your house is nice, quiet and wonderful. It should be
comfortable to live here."
After a short pause, Melissa nodded in agreement, "Yes. Because it belonged to Colin. He gave it to
me later."
Eric couldn't help but glance at her, and then fell silent.
Melissa raised her head to look at him, she knew that there was a mixture of emotions surging in his
heart. She knew that she was not a good woman, at least not a pure good woman. She had many
shortcomings in her body, which would make any man hesitate. She also knew clearly that Eric just like
Colin, they all liked her just because she was pure and innocent in the past. But after so many years,
she was no longer the innocent girl she used to be. Even Colin who she had spent with for five years
was disillusionment about her, let alone Eric who liked pursuing perfection and excellence at ordinary
times.
In Eric's eyes, he liked holy and noble women. So she had to confess to him. If he could accept her,
she would give up on Colin, and only focus on Eric from now on. If he was disillusionment about her,
she would let him off, and from now on they had nothing to do with each other. In that case, Eric
wouldn't be involved in Colin and Mrs. Fannie.
Melissa said, "It's been so many days, and you've seen what kind of person I am. Although I don't want
to admit it sometimes, from the general appearance, I am indeed that kind of... A woman who loves
vanity and has been seduced by men for money and fame. Recently... In order to get rid of Colin and
Mrs. Fannie, I approached you on purpose, and used your love to hook up with you. I also tried to force
Colin to give up on me, he would be disappointed at me and married with another woman. And as long
as Mrs. Fannie goal was achieved, she would let me go. I know I'm selfish. I don't care about your
feelings, your future or your safety. Sometimes I feel guilty and sad when I see you treat me so well. I
feel guilty. How can I make use of you like this?"
Melissa felt awful, her heart rolling, her throat choking, and had an urge to cry. So she lowered her
head and said, "I have a strict upbringing. My parents, grandfather and grandmother are all innocent
people, but I don't know why my family raised such a child like me. Sometimes I think it's my fault to
enter the entertainment circle. It's so complicated that people will be demonic. But after second
thought, No matter how demonic the entertainment circle is, there will still be someone innocent, who is
famous for his or her own ability in the entertainment circle. For example, you are one of them? There
is still an immaculate green lotus in the mud, not to mention that the entertainment circle is not
completely black. So to be honest, I'm a person without self-control and not discipline, so I would easily
surrender in front of difficulties and lose my innocence and dignity. So I'm not angry with the
entertainment industry anymore, and I'm not resentful with others. Instead, I'm angry with myself."
Tears fell down on the ground and her weak shadow. She continued, "Sometimes I look down upon
myself. I'm a dirty woman. Even my parents look down upon me. How could I deserve you? You are an
ideal person. You are living an ideal life. You are good-looking, family background is good, talent,
appearance and temperament. I really can't find a man better than you. A person like you should
deserve a better woman. At least, she is a woman of pure family and innocent."
After Melissa said those words, she felt much better. At least, she felt more at ease. She looked up at
Eric and said, "So I won't bother you any more from now on. Colin, you know that he's a paranoid
psychopath. Mrs. Fannie, is also a wicked, sinister person, and I'm not a good person. I'll take care of
myself if I'm involved with them, even if I would die with them together, I don't want to be your burden.
You should leave now. I don't deserve you and I don't want to be your burden either. This is the last
time I have ever spoken to you! "
