James stared at her face quietly. He moved quickly, helped her fasten her seat belt, and then backed off, sitting in his seat, with a mysterious smile.
Jenny realized that he had misunderstood and awkwardly look away, “Don’t laugh.”
“I am not laughing, I just looked at you suddenly being so nervous, wondering about what you were thinking?” James said meaningfully.
Jenny’s face was slightly blushed, “Don’t guess, I didn’t think about anything.”
“Oh? Really? Then I just helped you fasten a seat belt. Why were you so nervous?”
“Who said I was nervous?” Jenny immediately replied.
James chuckled again, “If you weren’t, what are you blushing for?”
“I… I’m not blushing because I was nervous, it’s too cold outside the car and it’s suddenly hot again in here, do you understand how cold and hot alternate?
James just smiled and stopped arguing with her.
The taxi driver beeped his horn because Jenny and James had only been fighting since they got on without even telling him where they were heading.
Jenny and James smiled at each other.
“Hurry up and tell him, where are we going to eat?”
James subconsciously touched his forehead, he didn’t even know where to go after thinking about it. “Tell me what you want to eat and let the driver go to the best place for it.”
The two discussed, and the driver was almost losing his nerves. Finally, under the suggestion of Jenny, they decided to eat hot pot, so they could get warmed up.
They came to a hot pot restaurant opened by a Chinese, and it seemed that the customers were mostly also Chinese, so that they have become even more enthusiastic. The two ordered a table full of food, and the owner gave them a lot for free as well. Both of them ate so much that they had a round belly and were smiling at each other.
When they returned, the staff had cleaned the room. Jenny looked around and found that the windows were all bright. She smiled back at James, “You rich people’s life is really easy, if this was in China, we could clearly do this by ourselves.”
James proudly smiled at her, “If you want, I can let you live like this forever.”
Jenny was interrupted by his sudden speech, watching him not knowing how to answer.
“Okay, almost everything has been settled today, I think I should go. Call me if you need anything and I will come over by the next flight.”
James saw that she was uncomfortable and did not want to push her, so he quickly shifted the topic.
“Well, be careful on your trip, and tell me when you get home.”
“Take care of yourself.” James gently kissed her forehead and turned away from the room.
She was looking at the door with her cheeks flushed.
She was alone, coming to a foreign country, and the jet lag caused Jenny not being able to fall asleep the whole night. She was thinking of things that shouldn’t be in his head, she wanted to stop, but it always started to torture her without warning and made it even worse.
It’s just that Jenny didn’t know, even now that she left Harold’s side, how long would it take for her to completely forget the memories he brought to her, and to come out of those shadows he has created? This night, she barely slept.
Early in the morning, Jenny was woken by the her phone. Because she slept late last night her body was still tired when she picked up the phone, but was awakened by the yelling on the other side of the phone.
The caller turned out to be Mrs. Andrews, Torah’s mother. As soon as she picked up the phone, she started to complain.
“Jenny, don’t you remember that you are also the daughter of the Andrew’s family? I didn’t expect you to be so cruel. Leave alone that your mother seduce my husband. Now you come to mock my daughter! I am telling you, I am not so easy to be bullied by you!”
“Mrs. Andrews, what the hell happened? Did you maybe misunderstand me?” Jenny didn’t know what she did to make her so angry.
“Don’t you pretend like you didn’t know. Is it because Torah has used you, now you asked Harold to lock her up? Ask him to let her go or I’m never gonna let you set foot in this house again!”
” I…”
She hung up before she finished talking on the phone. Harold locked up Torah? Why would he do this? At this time, Jenny’s head was splitting into another person. “Jenny, don’t forget the reason of your coming here, you do not want to contact him again!” Jenny shook his head, yes! I just want to get rid of my previous life, so the previous things have nothing to do with me anymore!
Simply tidy herself up, get a new life, start a new day, Jenny was ready to go out to chase her dreams.
Unfortunately, the phone rang again. Jenny stared at the phone number. Was it gonna be troublesome again? But she was afraid maybe someone needed something urgently, she can’t miss it.
After a few seconds of struggle, Jenny answered the phone, and was ready to listen to some more yelling again. But the end of the phone actually spoke fluent English. Was this a scam call? Jenny thought of this directly. But with her hard learned English and careful listening, she figured out that the other end of the phone said that she entered Hollywood as an exchange student to study!
Oh My!
She didn’t even have the time to be surprised, and continued to listen to what was said, it was James who arranged a teacher for her! They also told her what needed to be done, and then where to meet!
Was her life finally going to change?
Although Harold said on his surface to let her go and let her be free, he thought that he might live a life as if he was with her, happy day every day, but he still remembered the past when it was quiet at night . Harold didn’t know when he started to be like that.
But it couldn’t be denied that when the sun sets, the light will be blocked, and the moon rises, reflecting the warm sunlight into the icy moonlight and shining through the window at the corner of Jenny’s bed, Harold looked at the sky outside the window.
Every bit of life with her was like a movie, it all flashed in front of his eyes. The beautiful memories have turned into nothing, and he knew that it was impossible to take it back, but he couldn’t let himself forget it all just like this.
He loved her, he couldn’t forget her, all these basic things that everyone understood, have gotten Harold completely confused.
It turns out that loving someone can really change a person. He lowered his eyes and looked at the text message Jenny sent him. The light of the screen was reflected on his face. He really missed her at this moment.
Maybe it was a good thing to leave my side and chase your dreams.
Harold left the room and his missing her became an urge. He wanted to know where she was, what she was doing, and wished to see her one more time.
