His cold eyes and indifferent tone made Cynthia feel as if a knife was cutting into her heart. Staring at him, she said nothing.
For a while, they were facing each other like this. Though she was physically so close to him, she felt that there was a huge gap between them that was unbridgeable.
He originally thought that Cynthia would make a fuss, complain and quarrel, but she just stood there and looked at him quietly, without saying a word. Her eyes were like glass, silent, and melancholy.
Her sadness, in reality, stung Gray’s heart, and there was a sharp pain.
His chest was a little stuffy, and he turned to look at Olivia, who lay behind him. The moment his eyes met, he caught the smugness and the fleeting panic in her eyes.
He understood something, “you go back first, and I’ll see you later.”
“Then where are you going?” Olivia was a little uneasy.
“I’ll meet you after I take something from here.”
“Okay.” Olivia looked at Gray and then turned her eyes on Cynthia. Although she was unwilling to, she had to leave.
After watching her leaving, Gray’s eyes were fixed on Cynthia again, and his voice was a little hoarse, “why don’t you explain to me?”
Cynthia was stunned, and then smiled, but that smile was revealing of her fatigue and loneliness. She said plainly: “the explanation was of no use if you don’t believe it.”
These words were like a needle piercing Gray’s heart, and the pain became clearer. It seemed as if something were stuck in his throat, and he was speechless for a while.
Both were silent, so the air was a little stagnant.
After a while, Cynthia finally broke the silence with words like, “Why are you here?”
But Gray got a message different from the one conveyed by Cynthia. Enraged by her indifference, his eyes were suddenly covered with a layer of ice, and anger gradually burst out in his eyes.
The pity for her now disappeared, and a small fire started to blaze in his chest.
Seeing that Cynthia’s face turned pale in an instant, Gray’s anger was reduced, and then he dragged her over with a hard pull and pressed her against the wall.
The next second, he clasped her wrists with his big hands and held them on top of her head.
Then, he kissed her lips fiercely.
Cynthia’s eyes widened, looking at this handsome face in front of her eyes. She was overwhelmed by this indescribable feeling.
Unsurprisingly, every time he came back, he would do the same thing as a routine.
In his eyes, that’s the reason why she didn’t leave.
Maybe, after they get married, she would lose her worth.
Cynthia’s eyes became sorer and sorer, and her glass-like eyes gradually dimmed, becoming empty.
This time, she didn’t struggle and let him do whatever he preferred to do.
Even though she was breathless and almost suffocated by his kiss, she didn’t even blink her eyes.
Her love for him wore thin due to his coldness, irony, and ruthlessness. In this strained relationship, she didn’t know how long she could endure, or what the future held for her.
Outside the window, the sky was clear, but for her, it was a haze…
His hot kiss fell on her. Just when he took off her clothes and was about to thrust into her body. A sudden ringing of the phone became the buzz killer. Gray frowned and glanced at the caller ID. It turned out that the call was from Olivia.
After he picked up the phone, Olivia’s soft and coquettish voice was sent from the side of the phone, “Gray, when will you be back?”
Gray was just in his climax, so his voice was dull and his breath was quick and uneven, “I’ll go back later.”
“I miss you so much. I’m alone in this empty house. I’m so lonely. Can you come back to accompany me soon?” On the phone, her voice was soft like the sweet song of birds. Her plea carrying a hint of unease sounded extremely pitiful.
Gray was swayed by her call. He looked at Cynthia, who was stripped naked and then looked at the mobile phone. Hesitation appeared in his eyes.
Cynthia’s heartstrings were tightened. She looked at Gray with some anticipation. She wanted to know, in this case, who would he choose…
Hearing there was no reply on the phone, Olivia continued to behave coquettishly, with a soft sob at the end, “will you come back? I miss you…”
Cynthia stared at him and pursed his lips tightly. Would he choose to stay by her side…
She stared at him for one second, three seconds, and five seconds. During the time of waiting, her heart became a little anxious, and even her breathing became rapid.
Although she didn’t want to admit that Gray was just interested in her body, in this case, she still hoped that he could choose her and stay here- in such a humble manner.
But–
She heard Gray say, “Okay, I’ll go there, you wait for me where you stay.”
Her heart fell to the bottom in an instant.
After he hung up the phone, he didn’t even look at her, took the car keys, and was about to leave.
Seeing the back of him leaving in a hurry, Cynthia felt dismal and uncomfortable. She clenched her palm tightly, but still shouted, “Gray!”
Gray’s footsteps paused, and he slowly looked back at her.
Trying to calm herself down, she forced a smile, “were you free next Wednesday?” Afraid that he would think too much, she quickly added, “I have no other intentions… Next Wednesday is your birthday, so I just want to give you a birthday party.”
This sentence caught Gray unprepared, and he didn’t even remember his birthday.
It turned out that she remembered it so clearly.
In an instant, all kinds of complicated and indescribable emotions rushed to his chest, and transformed into warm currents, hitting his most sensitive nerves, and finally injecting into his cold blood vessels.
He felt that his chest seemed to be filled with emotions.
These emotions made Gray a little overwhelmed, and after a while, he nodded, “okay.”
