“Auntie, where was this photo taken”
Darren didn’t look like what he was like right now. He looked immature in this photo, but she had a strange feeling that she had seen him somewhere else.
Lissandra got close and stared at it for a while, and then she said as if thinking of something, “In his senior high school. Judging from the background, it should be the school basketball court.”
The school basketball court…
“Go to sleep, little girl. And what’s your name”
Selina was interrupted and she looked up, “Auntie, I… I am Selina Reed.”
Lissandra casted her a weird look.
“What’s… what’s wrong”
“Recently I have seen a movie and the supporting actress is Selina Reed.”
“That’s… that’s me.” She lowered her head shyly.
She kept her head lowered for a while but heard nothing, so she looked up and saw Lissandra making a phone call, “My son, I come across Selina Reed!”
Selina was shocked, “…”
Wasn’t Lissandra making a call to Darren!
“Darren, she’s the star I told you last time. Aren’t you two having an affair!”
Oh god, it was Darren.
She met him in such a coincident way. Could it be said that the heaven gave them a chance
Three hours later, in the courtyard house, the three people separately occupied a corner.
“Mum, have a sleep.”
“I’m not sleepy…ho-hum!”
Lissandra’s biological clock was very punctual. She usually went to bed at half past ten. Now it was already 12 pm. No wonder her eyelids were fighting with each other.
Both Selina and Darren listened to her talking barefaced nonsense, “…”.
Lissandra had to rise and delightedly looked at Selina, “Selina, I’ll chat with you tomorrow morning. I like you so much and I’m your fan.”
Selina nodded shyly, “Ok. Auntie, have a sleep now!”
As soon as Lissandra left, tension soon filled in the atmosphere in the courtyard.
Selina was about to explain, but Darren opened his mouth, “Selina, I belittled your tricks.”
“Ah”
“How did you know my mum came back Why did you come here for her”
She looked at him unbelievably, “You! Did you suspect that I came to City D for your mum Darren, how can you think of me in this way Do you know I was -”
“Shut up and get away immediately.”
“What did you say”
“I asked you to get out of my house immediately.” Darren looked at her coldly.
He had tried his best to stay away from her, but why did she come right up to him again and again Did he need to tell her that he remembered all that happened before Did he need to tell her that he remembered how she caused him to lose life step by step
“It’s 2400. You… ask me to get away”
“Yes, right now!”
“Darren, you asshole! You have got balls! If I die outside, never come for me!” Burying her face in her hands, Selina rushed out of the courtyard.
Darren kicked the chair off and crackled his fists.
Rushing out of the Alley, Selina curled up herself in the corner, keeping looking back towards the Alley.
“Come for me, asshole, come for me quickly…”
The next morning, when Lissandra woke up and came out of the bedroom, she got startled when seeing her son seated in the courtyard, “Why did you get up so early”
Darren didn’t reply but kept his gesture.
“I’ll wake up that girl. It’s not easy to see a female star ready to help others for a just cause. But it’s my first to see a star so poor that has nowhere to live.”
“Mum, what did you say”
Lissandra took a turn in the room and questioned Darren unhappily, “Where’s Selina It seems that nobody has slept in the room. Darren, what’s happened”
“She left in the early morning.”
“In the early morning! Darren, what have you done! Have you driven her away!”
Darren frowned. He rose and went toward the room.
“Stop. How could you treat a girl in this way She has no money with her and she has no cell phone as well. You drove her away. Where could she stay in late night”
“She has neither money nor cell phone”
“Yes. Last night she called me to borrow-“Before Lissandra finished her words, Darren had rushed out.
He kept running in the Alley. He had looked for Selina in every corner. Stores selling breakfast were everywhere, but she was not seen.
She had neither money nor cell phone…
“Damn it!”
He took out the phone and called Selina. After a long time, the phone was answered, “Hello”
“Mr. Taylor”
“Oh, Darren, if you wanna see me, come to my home directly.”
Confirming what he guessed, Darren gave a blow on the wall, “is it you who caught her to City D”
He had thought she came to City D on her own.
Damn it!
He misunderstood her!
“I have only one cherished daughter. I don’t want you to make Sophia unhappy. You know what I mean.”
Darren strode out and explained coldly, “I didn’t appear in the engagement ceremony, so you should know my attitude. My love to her is not a man’s love to a woman. If she hadn’t asked me for help, I wouldn’t have agreed with the engagement!”
“What’s wrong with my daughter With the Taylor family’s help, whatever you wanna do is with might doubled. The whole Lim family will be her dowry.”
“I don’t care. If you get Selina Reed into trouble again, I won’t give consideration to our friendship, Mr. Taylor.”
After hanging up the phone, Darren stood at the mouth of the Alley. It was early morning. People were hurrying to and fro. The chilly wind made people rub their hands together and enjoy breakfast vibrantly.
Recalling she left in thin rags, Darren clenched his teeth and went on to call others.
“Atishoo…atishoo!”
Selina squatted in front of the middle school, rubbing her nose. She was tired and sleepy and her brain was humming away.
The sky gradually turned white. The coldness brought by the wind in autumn made her keep shivering.
Seated on the cement stairs beside the school, Selina wrapped her arms tightly around her body.
The first time she had nowhere to sleep was because she was driven away by the man she loved.
She didn’t know why she came to this place. She came here in a curious coincidence. Was it destined
It was clear that the first time she met Darren was after she graduated from university, but when she saw the photo that he took in senior high school, a voice seemed to tell her that the first time they met was not the night when she was drugged. She really wanted to find the answer.
“Bro, a woman is here!”
She raised her head stiffly and saw several rascally men coming up to her.
Raising herself up against the wall, she was about to leave.
“Whee, so pretty! Why do you squat here alone”
The leading man wore blond hair. With a cigarette in his mouth, he wanted to touch her chin.
“Bang!” She stretched out the hand and flapped his hand. She frowned, rebuking, “Get away.”
There were not many passengers-by on the road. She gave a bitter smile in heart. Was the heaven playing a trick on her purposely
“So hot! Are you lonely We can play with you…”
These men surrounded her, which scared Selina to step back, “We’re in the school. If you dare to touch me, I’ll cry out!”
The man wearing blond hair threw the cigarette onto the ground and reached for her, but his face was slapped by her.
“Hiss, shit, you dare slap me!” With the word, he slapped back.
Selina felt hot on the cheek and the brain was humming.
“Get away!”
