Kara took a photo of Anika’s notes. She was looking at them carefully when suddenly a call came in, and Kara answered it.
“Hey, Arya, I’ve been waiting for your call for days!”
James, standing behind Kara, listened to Kara laughing and talking to someone. He smiled slightly, but he was wearing a mask. No one noticed.
“Come on! Don’t mention it. I’m now forced to go to the library by that perverted senior brother. There aren’t many chances to get my phone now.” Arya complained.
“That’s good. Your senior brother must be so excellent at getting rid of your addiction to your smartphone!”
Wasn’t it amazing that Arya could go to the library to study diligently and not play games?
“What? It was clearly me who wanted to work hard to get this semester’s scholarship. What does it matter to him?”
Arya couldn’t bear to hear other people praise her senior brother, and her tone was a bit disdainful.
“When are you going to take the exam?”
“There’s still one more month. You know what? I got 62 in English this time,” Arya said proudly.
In the past, Arya handed her English paper in three minutes, and she could only get a dozen or so points each time.
Arya originally thought she did not need those foreign languages because she was learning boxing. Thus, she did not study hard at that time. It was such amazing progress for Arya that she could get more than 60 points in English.
“Wow, Arya, you’re so awesome! Good luck! Hope you can get eighty points next time.” Kara encouraged Arya.
“Of course. There aren’t many students studying here seriously. If I want to get a scholarship, I just want to read more books.” Arya was very confident.
Kara was totally speechless.
Kara blinked. Arya was such an optimistic girl who was always hoping for the best.
The two of them chatted for a while, and suddenly, Arya’s tone changed.
“Kara, have you heard about Silence recently?”
Kara was caught off guard by her words. Perhaps Arya had gone through so many topics just because Arya missed Silence so much and wanted to know his news.
“Arya, what do you want to hear?”
Arya didn’t know what she wanted to hear.
It happened to be Silence’s birthday today, and Arya suddenly wanted to know about his situation.
“Arya, I heard from James that he has decided to get engaged. However, it seems like it will take him three to four months to complete a mission.” Kara finally thought of a soft answer.
“Arya, I have another piece of bad news about me to tell you.” Kara bit her lower lip and spoke after a long while.
“So, James and I are related. He might be my biological cousin.”
Arya felt this news was so explosive that she wanted to say dirty words.
When she thought about how she had been taught a lesson recently, she held them back.
“Kara, I can only say that you and I are so alike. There are so many similarities between the men we love.”
They were all cousins, and they were all older than Kara and Arya.
Kara also smiled bitterly. She couldn’t help but clench her bag. “James decided to leave me, but I didn’t want to. Arya, James wanted to stay away from me. He didn’t want to talk to me.”
These words had been held in Kara’s heart for a long time. She knew that Arya was busy and did not dare to disturb her. It was not easy to talk to Arya, and Kara could not hold back.
When James heard Kara’s words, he frowned and tightened his grip on the railing.
Kara’s eyes were red and filled with tears. When she blinked, her eyelashes were wet, and tears fell.
James’s mood was in turmoil. He gritted his teeth, and the muscles under his jaw tightened.
He really wanted to hold her hand to comfort her, but in the end, he restrained himself and turned away from her tear-stained face.
“Do you really have a blood relationship?” Arya was silent for a long time before asking.
“Yes.”
Arya sighed softly, not knowing who she was trying to comfort.
“Kara, you are still young. When you think that destiny is unfair to you, it might open another window for you to see other scenery.
“I think that James was also upset when he heard this news. He was forced to stay away from you.
“Kara, after leaving him, you will become stronger and walk a different path. You will walk across the bridge that you never thought of, meet a better man, and see a more exciting world.”
Kara wiped away her tears and laughed. There was a bit of ridicule in her tone.
“Arya, this doesn’t sound like the way you speak. Could this be what Silence said to you?”
Arya didn’t answer.
Kara was right. It was what Silence had said when he rejected Arya. Arya remembered every word Silence had said in that conversation.
“Arya, this man was everything for me when I was in my best years. Once I fell in love with him, I couldn’t see any other man around me. No matter how excellent or extraordinary they were.
“Even if I meet different people and things, it’s different.
“I give him all my sincere love, and it can’t be taken back.
“In the future, no matter who I will be dating, it has nothing to do with love.”
Arya didn’t know what to say.
This was what Arya was thinking.
When Arya realized that she liked Silence at the age of fifteen, Arya thought that she would bravely chase after him after she grew up.
However, time was merciless. As Arya grew up, Silence also became more mature. The elders in his family urged him even more.
“Kara, I find that you are becoming more and more eloquent! Did James teach you these?” Arya tried to change the topic.
This topic was too heavy. If Arya continued, she would cry.
“Yes.”
Kara also smiled and chatted with her about the recent situation before hanging up.
Kara tilted her little head, shook her eyelashes that still had tears hanging on them, and shook her messy hair.
No matter what the situation was, the only thing she could do was face it with a smile.
However, looking at the sun outside the window, Kara couldn’t help but think, “What is James doing now? Will he miss me in his spare time?”
James, standing behind her, looked at the side of her face and felt a little sad. His slender fingers wanted to land on her shoulder.
However, the bus stopped at this time. When James saw Kara get up, he quickly turned around and waited for her to get out of the bus. Then, James slowly got out of the bus.
When James saw Kara go to the gallery, he remembered what she had just said. His brown eyes were deep and serene. After a few minutes, he called Donald.
James made two calls, and Donald didn’t answer him.
James gritted his teeth, thinking, “Donald, how dare you!
James looked around and saw a water pipe on the second floor next to the gallery. He walked to the side of the water pipe.
After making sure that no one was paying attention, nor was there a camera, he licked his lower lip and lightly jumped up, climbing up the water pipe to the second floor.
James jumped into the reception room of the gallery, opened the door, and took small steps downstairs. He saw Donald talking and laughing with Kara.
He sneered and raised his middle finger at Donald.
With his back to the stairs, Kara did not realize that a person would suddenly appear behind her, but Donald could see James clearly.
When Donald saw James, he was so angry that he wanted to beat him up.
Hell!
