Kara thought back to her childhood. She remembered a few tall little girls inexplicably had bullied her. The experience once became her nightmare.
Now that she thought about it, she felt a little scared.
“You mean, those little girls bullied me because of you?”
Eli explained with an apologetic look.
“I found out that later those little girls wanted to be friends with me, but I ignored them. Knowing that I wanted to be close to you, we bullied you together. Sorry, Kara.”
Kara smiled helplessly. She did not expect to encounter a nightmare because of him.
But he did not participate in this matter. It had been so many years. What was blaming him good for?
“If you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have forgotten. What happened then?”
“Later, I stopped classes for a period because my parents work. I saw you on the day of your eighth birthday.”
“Knowing that it was your birthday, I took you to eat the cake. We played for a day before sending you home. Do you remember?”
Kara blinked with confusion.
Why did she not remember?
“After that, you were ill and learned to dance on and off. You remembered my birthday. On my birthday, you came to school to give me a gift.”
Kara held her chin and recalled seriously.
“It seems that there really is such a thing. It was my father who gave me the idea to give you a precious gift. So I took out the carrot pen that I had treasured for a long time and gave it to you.”
“How did it become a token of love?”
Kara was puzzled. She was so open-minded that she had set his future husband at the age of eight.
“I’m the one who asked you if you like me. You said you like me. You said that I’m handsome and will be my girlfriend in the future.”
“…”
Kara covered her face in surprise. She could not bear to recall the past.
At that time, when she had said this, she should have been joking, right?
“Then your parents passed away one after another. Your body became worse and worse. You never went to learn to dance again. I also left NK City for a while because of my parents’ work. I returned to NK City in my sophomore year. Only then did I know that you and I were in the same high school.”
“I was originally thinking of finding a suitable time to reunite with you, but every time you walk past me with your head down indifferently. I don’t have the courage to call out your name.”
Kara rubbed her forehead.
“Kara, I originally thought that you lived in James’s villa. I still had more opportunities to interact with you. I didn’t expect it,”
Eli ground his teeth and didn’t want to continue.
He finally mustered up his courage and approached her. He was filled with joy as he waited for her to become an adult and make her his girlfriend.
Like his cousin, James heavily punched him. James wanted him to face the cruel reality.
She was now his cousin-in-law. Damn it!
“Alright, Eli, since you missed it, forget it. There is nothing wrong with being friends.” Kara persuaded.
Eli stared at her for a while. His handsome face became a little gloomy. But he did not refute her.
Looking at the rain outside the window getting smaller and smaller, Kara stood up, “Thank you, Eli. To be honest, you are very outstanding. It is a very honor to be in your eyes.”
“But that girl won’t be me because I already have James. Do you understand what I mean?”
Eli kept silent.
Kara started to walk out. Perhaps it was because she had taken the fever medicine. She felt that her head was heavy. She staggered when she was beside the door.
Eli was worried that she would fall and quickly came up to help her, but he was pushed away by Kara.
“Eli, I’m fine.”
If James came back and saw Eli approaching her, he would get angry.
Kara gritted her teeth and forced herself to open the door to walk out.
Eli watched as she walked away step by step. The door slowly closed.
It was as if she had forcefully separated him and her into two worlds. The gap between the door and the doorframe was getting smaller and smaller. He regretted it again when the gap became super small. He had just taken a step.
The door was closed with a click.
His forehead against the door while he hammered the door a few times.
Outside the door, Kara walked to the window of the corridor and blew on the cold. Her mind cleared up a little.
“Why are you here, Kara?” Jamya watched Kara standing by the window from afar and quickly walked to her side.
Kara’s lips were pale, but her cheeks were red. Jamya touched Kara’s forehead.
So hot.
“Kara, you’re sick.”
“Kara, how is it?” Ayden and Zoie both walked over.
“Well, I’m fine. It might be because I exposed myself to the cold wind today. I’m currently cooling down.”
Kara smiled bitterly and took out her phone to call James.
“I heard that because of the rain today, there is no car going down the mountain. We may have to rush back to the city tomorrow morning.”
Rory came over and raised his eyebrows in surprise when he saw that everyone was surrounding Kara.
“Hello, James.”
When James picked up the call, Kara was pleasantly surprised and let out a sigh of relief.
Ayden heard that she was calling James. She persuaded Kara from the side, “Kara, don’t worry. Mr. James is back. He should be showering in the room.”
Kara looked up at him and nodded. A woman’s voice came from the phone when she was about to look for James.
“Mr. James, James, you hurt me.”
Kara froze and frowned in surprise. It was Jenny’s voice.
She looked at the phone number and confirmed that it was James’s phone number. She called James in a low voice.
“Well, it’s you. I’m sorry, James and I are a little busy right now.”
“Jenny, you…”
Kara clenched her fists tightly, trying to calm himself down.
It must be that James’s phone was stolen by Jenny. Jenny deliberately caused the trouble. Kara did not believe Jenny’s nonsense!
“Jenny, if you want to act, then do it more realistically. You’re not young anymore, right? You play these childish games all day, and I’m worried about your IQ!”
“You,” Jenny was also angry and cried delicately, “James, someone scolded me and said that you don’t love me.”
“Who is it?”
Those words were like poisonous needles that pricked Kara’s eardrums.
“James, what is going on?” Kara asked softly.
She did not believe that James and Jenny would mess around.
“What else can happen? It’s just that James is tired of playing with you and doesn’t want you anymore. Don’t you understand?”
Kara narrowed her big eyes and stared at her phone maliciously. Her entire person was so gloomy that it made the people beside her feel a familiar aura.
Wasn’t this an expression James had when he was angry?
“James, where are you guys?”
“What does it have to do with you? Didn’t you have a good time with my cousin?” It was James’s answer.
Kara took two steps back and didn’t believe what she had just heard.
“James, I just wanted to say a few words to him. I just wanted to,”
“Explanation is a cover-up. A cover-up is guiltiness.”
“James!”
Kara felt that all of these were an illusion. How could it be possible for James to become so strange when she woke up?
Was it because he saw her go to see Eli that he was jealous and deliberately said harsh words to anger her?
She called his name in a hoarse voice.
“It’s useless to call me. I don’t want you now. Behave yourself and disappear from my sight in the future!”
“…”
Disappear?
Well!
Kara clenched her fists tightly. Her veins bulged and pulsed. The veins on her neck bulged because she used too much strength.
The crowd could not figure out the situation. Seeing that Kara’s eyes were red, they quickly clicked on the hands-free button on her phone.
