Chapter 242
The expression on Jeremy's face froze and the corner of his mouth twitched. He then turned away dejectedly as if his soul had been sucked out from his body. Lindsay looked at him in shock, then chased after him in a panic.,
"Jeremy, it's not what you think! I can explain. I was angry just now. I was just talking nonsense. Please don't take it seriously-
",
"Jeremy! Wait for me!
",
"Don't you trust me for who I am? How could you take my words seriously when I was so mad? Jeremy-
", Lindsay ran after him all the way until they reached his car. As she reached out to pull at his clothes, he smacked her hand away.
"Scram! You disgust me!
", He had trusted her so much that he had been blinded from the truth., Anger was building up in his chest and his expression was grim. With hatred in his eyes, a terrifying aura surrounded him., He never would've thought that under her beautiful face, a dark and sinister heart lurked!, Lindsay staggered several steps back, feeling a striking pain in her stomach. However, she couldn't care less about it at this instant. Her makeup was already ruined from her tears.
"Jeremy, please don't be angry with me! That was because I cared too much about you! I was too angry and that was why I said all of that to make her mad. It's not the truth-
",
"Jeremy, you know how I've treated you in the past years! How could you not? Ask yourself!
",
"Did I ever do something to hurt you? I gave you everything I had. How can you treat me like this?
", On top of Lindsay's howls and wails, her obvious bump on her stomach attracted many curious and pitiful gazes from onlookers.,
"Young man, don't be so mean! It's not good to do this in public!
",
"Yeah! Look at her, she's crying so hard! As a man, you should be more open-minded and treat your wife better! It's not easy for women!
"
"Your wife is so pretty, why don't you treat her better? Aren't you afraid that she will leave you for another man?
",
"Go home and settle this in private! Don't you feel ashamed for making a scene in public?
"
"Jeremy, let's go home!
", The few strangers were very kind but Jeremy was in conflict.
"Have you ever been truthful to me? Were there ever truths in your words?
", She was so aggrieved and pitiful at this moment, which was completely different from the harsh woman that she was just moments ago. If he hadn't seen it and heard it himself, he would've never believed it.
"It's such a waste that you didn't become an actress! Stay away from me in the future!
", With a low hiss, Jeremy opened the car door and left., He left Lindsay behind as she sobbed., Not far from the main entrance of the office, Alicia stood there for a long time as if she just had a dream. She couldn't figure out why Nicholas had to be responsible for Yannie's suicide!, She thought about it carefully and still couldn't recall Nicholas having anything to do with a girl named Yannie or had the surname Murphy!, Could it be that Nicholas had gotten drunk and raped a girl? Other than that, Alicia really couldn't think of any other reason for a girl to commit suicide!, She could not accept it and shook her head in defeat., Although Nicholas had been rebellious, he was still a highly admired student in the eyes of many other students, especially amongst girls. Not only was he tall and handsome, but he was also more courageous than others of his age. He was never afraid of things that people the same age as he was would be afraid of., Back then, every time when Alicia had him by her side, she always felt like she was a queen., Alicia was so young and ignorant at that time and Nicholas had spoilt her, therefore everything her brother owned belonged to her. There was an incident that left a deep impression on her- that time, Nicholas had gotten a Barbie doll that came without packaging. To her surprise, he gave it to another girl instead of her! When Alicia realized that, she was so angry that she ignored him for a week., In the end, Nicholas saved up some money and bought an even bigger and prettier doll for her. Only then did she make up with him., Alicia still remembered that she had a hairstyle with thick bangs. Nicholas liked to touch her bangs and say,
"I think I might be a bachelor forever because I have a sister that gets jealous so easily!
", At the time, Alicia didn't really understand what
"bachelor
" meant, she just felt happy playing with her doll. She requested Nicholas to treat her nicely forever, and even said that he must remain a 'bachelor' forever!, After that incident, if Nicholas bought things for other girls, he made sure to get two of them. Alicia would make the pick first and the rest would be for the other girl., When others came to know of it, many girls who were trying to pursue Nicholas even started to buy gifts for Alicia. However, she never accepted any of it no matter how much she liked them because Nicholas would buy them for her if she asked him to., She received more pocket money than Nicholas and she would save some of them up, giving them to Nicholas., Alicia still remembered the girls who chased after him. However, she had no idea who Yannie Murphy was., If a girl could commit suicide for Nicholas, she must've been close to him., As Alicia walked on the streets, she felt suffocated by the truth. Her entire mind was clouded as she sat down to rest on a bench. She sighed heavily., Apparently, everything was a scheme that had been long-planned, right from the start!, It turned out that everything had nothing to do with love and it was nothing more than a lie., A long and nightmarish lie., She couldn't believe that everything between Jeremy and her, had all been planned by him long ago. The romantic encounters, those moving moments, and sweet experiences... Were they all illusions that he had deliberately created for her? It was the sugar- coated poison that made her fall for him., If she had let down her guard and didn't insist on persevering, would she have been ravaged and then thrown aside as Lindsay had said?, If so, she would've been even more miserable than she was at present., How ridiculous!, She had longed for a fairytale-like love story for half her life. She had chosen her lover carefully and loved him with all her might for three years, waited for him for three years. However, it was all a lie., It was all fake!, The six years that she had wasted seemed like a joke at this time., In an instant, mixed feelings arose in Alicia's heart., Was she considered as fortunate that she had managed to live until the present? Lindsay was indeed behind everything that had happened that night but she never would've expected that it turned out to be Frederick!, As Alicia thought of Frederick, she felt a surge of warmth in her heart., Luck was finally on her side this time. She had given her virginity to such a man and she would never regret it in her life!, This was the first time that Alicia had thought of something like this, clear and confounded. She was even filled with happiness!, She stood up and looked at the sky, then shouted,
"Time to go home and cook for my hubby!
", Because of this unexpected incident, Alicia's plan was messed up and her mood was somehow affected as well. She gave up on the thought of making ravioli and bought some vegetables instead before making her way home., As Frederick entered the house, he caught a whiff of the aroma of pork ribs. As he listened to the sound of the knife hitting against the chopping board, warmth passed through his gaze and his expression softened., Search the website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
