The woman was still crying without reply, making Katherine look like a villain.
She thought for a while and replied, “That’s it. I have to go.”
The woman made a short sound. Without hearing her reply, Katherine already hanged up the phone.
She squeezed the phone in her hand, compressed her lips and was in a trance.
She was not upset, but only thought her life was in a mess and she couldn’t find any clue.
Katherine was not in the mood to cook. She boiled a bag of instant noodles and ate randomly. Then
she went upstairs.
She received Kyle’s call when it was dark outside.
Kyle was downstairs and said he came to visit. He was a bit surprised when seeing she already turned
off the light in the first floor.
Katherine went to open the door for him sluggishly and sat on the sofa.
Kyle brought lots of food with him. It seemed he didn’t have dinner yet.
He didn’t bother Katherine, but took things out in the kitchen and went to the table.
He smiled happily and said, “Come on. I have also bought beers. Let’s indulge tonight.”
The house was full of the smell of barbeque.
Katherine didn’t have an appetite. However, she couldn’t resist the attractive smell.
She also went to the table and found Kyle already set the table.
He even opened the beers for them.
Katherine sat down and asked, “What’s wrong? Why are you in a mood to drop by?”
Kyle sighed, “I just miss the days when Hector and us have meals together. After he went to the
competition, we haven’t had meals together. That’s why I am here.”
Katherine smiled, “Yes, I also miss the old days.”
Although she couldn’t remember the details of what happened during those days, she seemed to be in
a good mood every day and there was nothing to bother her.
Now she had found her life goal, but troubles kept coming for her.
Kyle handled the beet to Katherine and said, “I hope Hector can get a good mark and we can gather
together again.”
Katherine sighed because if Hector really started his musical career, it would be rare for them to be
together.
They all had their own things to do. Life was tough and there was little time for them to spoil.
Katherine didn’t say anything but drunk up the beer.
Kyle didn’t know Katherine was in a bad mood and only regarded her as having fun.
They continued eating. Gradually, both of them were a bit drunk.
Katherine leaned against the chair. She stared at the ceiling and said in a low voice, “I was alone when
my grandfather got ill. I didn’t know anything about life at that time. I hate my parents so much for not
coming back. How could they be so cruel by leaving me alone for so many years?”
Kyle was also drunk and couldn’t get her point clearly.
Katherine didn’t expect Kyle to understand her tragic life in the past but just wanted to pour out all her
sadness, “Then my grandfather passed away. My hometown really had lots of old customs to let the
elder son break a basin. I told them I could do this, but those elder people rejected because they said
my father was still alive. They couldn’t let me break the basin. If the basin was not broken, they
believed that people couldn’t go to heaven.”
Tears ran down from her eyes and she continued, “I told them that my father died in my heart when
they decided abandon grandpa and me many years ago. I am the only family of grandpa.
She swept her tears and asked, “He never came back to visit us after so many years past. Don’t you
think it equals to that he had been dying away from our life?”
She almost asked if her father had remarried and had another child and were living a good life.
Hadn’t they thought about how tough life was for her and her grandfather?
Katherine waited for a while. Then she swept her face and sat up, finding Kyle was not in the kitchen.
Kyle went to the living room and fell asleep on a yoga mattress.
Katherine stared at him for a while standing at the door of dining room and then brought over a blanket
to cover him.
She then went to the kitchen and cleaned the table.
She was drunk at first. However, after saying to herself for a long time, she was completely sober.
She sighed, tidied everything and went back to her room.
There was a new message sent by her irresponsible mother. It was a photo of a little girl.
The girl looked in her twelfth or thirteenth. Katherine couldn’t tell whether she looked similar to her or
not.
She could know from the instinct that she was her mother’s second daughter.
The girl was well dressed and looked tidy.
Katherine deleted the message after a quick check. She didn’t know why would her mother send her
this. She was not curious about their life at all.
Katherine went to take a shower. Then she lied on the bed. She wanted to change a phone number
after getting divorced with Marshall and failed to after getting back with him from Asela Island.
Now she really needed to consider of changing a new number.
Katherine then thought many things else and gradually fell asleep.
She was awakened by the ring the next day. She closed her eyes and picked up the phone in a trance.
It was from Margaret. She asked in a loud voice, “Kathy, you’re really romantic.”
Katherine squinted her eyes and asked, “What?”
Margaret was surprised, “You haven’t got up yet? Well, did you talk to Hector last night?”
Katherine didn’t know what she was talking about. She sat up and got a bit headache.
Margaret continued, “Hector is really handsome. He must offer you a great sense of safety.”
Katherine frowned, “What happened to him?”
Margaret was surprised, “Didn’t you see his performance in the competition last night?”
Well, it was true that Hector had a competition last night. Katherine was so drunk that she forgot
everything.
She took a deep breath and found it was awful to be drunk.
She got up to the bathroom and asked, “How’s his competition?”
Margaret smiled, “You can check it by yourself. Romantic man is so attractive.”
Katherine hissed and didn’t understand what she was talking about!
She hanged up the phone and went to wash up. After everything was done, she searched the news
about Hector on the phone.
Hector performed his original song last night.
It was his style of singing and playing by himself in a mild tone.
The song’s name was intriguing as “You Are My Destiny”.
Hector explained before singing that created this song according to his girlfriend’s name.
He said his girlfriend’s name meant profound emotion and he wanted to express his expectation for
their future in this song.
Katherine compressed her lips and didn’t know whether this was a stunt or not. However, Hector’s
behaviour really made many people become his fans.
After all, an affectionate man would always be attractive.
He got the highest vote last night. Maybe it was a kind of skill to increase the exposure of the show.
People in entertainment circles always like camouflage. This is just a marketing method.
Katherine didn’t listen what his lyrical was and turned off the phone.
Indeed, her life was getting more and more troublesome.
Katherine went downstairs and found Kyle was still sleeping.
It seemed he really drank a lot last night.
Katherine’s head hurt so much. She didn’t want to cook and boiled some water.
Her stomach also hurt, making her want to vomit.
Getting drunk would only help you forget your problem for a short time. When you got sober, your
trouble would still be there!
What should happen would never be absent!
