"I hate you!" She angrily said while pinching him hard on his side.
"I love it more when you hate me." He replied with a smile, his eyes flickered in amusement. "Because you kiss me harder this way. "
She did not reply. Instead, she hugged him closer and felt his warmth as an object of comfort.Just few hours ago, her heart had wandered....
She could not be trusted yet. While she was still weak and frail emotionally, she should not wander far way. Or else, she might had gone astray.
Anthon, why are you still haunting me? Jim is here. How can I betray him? He loves me unconditionally and sacrificed a lot for me. And he's here again to surprise me.
She now understood why he refused Auntie Elsa's offer and why was he staying in a hotel. Why did he not picked up her calls. It's because he followed them here!
"I just need to complete something before I can follow you here. Father must be also thinking that I have really sent you away.That would be a temporarily relief for now. I know he must be cooking something really big."
While Jim was talking, she did not really listen. She was caught up by her guilt. She needed to be firm and must be really firm. How could she walk down the aisle sooner with purity in her heart?
"Lord, please help me forget. This is not being fair with him and this is so unjust." She mumbled to herself as she clung to him tightly. Afraid that if she got separated for a second, a devil might snatch her away.
Realizing that they had been standing for a while already, he bent down to lift her thighs and soon she was in his arms.
"Since, we still have to attend an event later and you would not want to crumple your outfit, forget about the bed yet." He mumbled as he walked towards the couch.
As soon as he put her down in it, he sat beside her and instantly placed her head on his chest. Jia was tall enough but Jim was much taller. So, sitting like that would be comfortable for her.
"Do you want to sleep?" Jim said as he ruffled her hair above the forehead.
"Yes. " As she said it, she immediately closed her eyes. She also placed her arms above Jims' hands which were currently crossed to lock her in his embrace.
"Jim, why do you suddenly come over? " She asked, her eyes were still closed.
"Sweetheart, is that even a question? "He answered lazily as he yawned.
"Why, can't it be answered? "
"Jia, do you ever think I could stand a day without you? "
"Don't flatter me. Jian and I stayed two weeks last time and you never said you couldn't stand a week without me." Jia rolled her eyes as she argued.
Jim chuckled. "I was giving you the freedom last time to choose between me and..,"Jim paused, "An.. him. " He stammered, mentioning his name would, obviously, make him uncomfortable.
Jia did not say anything this time. She stole a glance at him but his eyes were closed. He paused for a long time, then went ahead.
"Of those two weeks you stayed here, I came over to see you three times. You just did not know it."
"What? " She felt as if a lightning suddenly struck her. Or, a bomb was suddenly dropped at her feet.
Jia was suddenly worried and afraid. Few times during that duration, she had passionately kissed with Anthon inside the car and outside the door. Did he saw them? Was it the possible reason why he once said, "Kiss me as hard as you did with Anthon and tell me if you want the marriage? "
As if he had read what was in her mind, he went ahead. "I was here when you went out with Anthon and came back to the house early in the morning."
Jia's heartbeats suddenly went into a frenzy state upon hearing this! Jim further went on.
"I was watching you when you were in a dinner meeting with your class."
Jia could not almost breath. She was too afraid to hear any more revelation.
"And my flight was an hour earlier than yours when you came back."
Jia recalled everything that happened on those days. She realized that the two of those he mentioned were the most intimate and heartbreaking moments she had with Anthon. She suddenly felt ashamed and was immediately crushed with guilt. She began a stiffled sobbing until she did it uncontrollably.
Jim just held her gently without saying anything. It was not her fault. How could he ever blame her? How could she scold her? He knew in the first place that there was someone in her heart. As long as she promised to stay with him, he was willing to put aside her past. Almost everyone had his or her dark sides and mistakes. Who was he to judge?
And what more could he do? He loved this woman more than his wounded pride...
If only he could tell her that he followed them to the beach...
And in the silence of the night, he heard Anthon sobbed and blamed her for allowing their son to be brought up by someone else..
If only he could tell her how his heart broke when he watched them from a distance holding each other so closely...
And how he almost died to see them kissed so passionately...
If only he could tell her that he went over to pick them up in the house on his way to the airport...
That he saw them inside the car..
and that he also saw how Anthon was breaking to see both of them leaving...
After what seemed like an eternity of sobbing, Jia finally stopped. She looked up to him with her swelling eye bags and bloodshot eyes.
"Jim, I'm cancelling our wedding."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"I hate you!" She angrily said while pinching him hard on his side.
