Chapter 7: Crazy love

"I was lucky to be taken away by the driver in time. Since I don't believe in so-called love anymore. My father used to say he loved my mother. So why did he callously leave my mother killed by thugs die? My father said he loved my mother, but he quickly married another woman, after my mother died. That woman is also the sister of the man who killed my mother."

Although I couldn't see Charles' expression clearly, I could feel the pain in his trembling voice. I hugged Charles, unsure of what to say to comfort him.

Charles hugged me too. I wanted to avoid him but suddenly remembered he was upset. We sat in the dark for a long time. I fell asleep all the time. Early in the morning, warm rays of sunlight shine through the glass window. I stared blankly at the unfamiliar room. 

Charles stood at the door of my room call in.

"Jenny, wake up and go to breakfast. I took you back to school."

Today is monday, and I have had class at school. I hurried to breakfast with Charles and went back to school. 

I returned to my idyllic life. Go to school with Charles in the morning, go on a date with him at night. In the afternoon, I was at work. Charles also pretended to pass by, sometimes stopping where I work bought a cup of coffee.

We were so idyllic together. I like him to hug me and kiss me. But I never went to bed with him. Charles had a lot of respect for me. He never went beyond the limits I set.

I was convinced that Charles loved me. I joined him in enjoying the happy life of a loving couple.

Charles' life was rich. Today I went with him to the bar for a friend of Charles' birthday. I'm new to parties. I couldn't fit in with Charles' life either. But I still want to try once trying to get into his life.

Charles took me shopping for clothes, the dress was a little short, but it looked very sexy. But very quickly, Charles put on an extra coat that covered my charms. 

I think Charles wanted me to be the prettiest in front of his friends. Charles had known a lot of girls. They were all beautiful. I'm not pretty. Why did he choose to love me? Sometimes I worry about whether Charles loves me. I was always afraid that one day we would break up. Maybe then I'll be desperate.

Charles still treated me very tenderly. He took my hand and walked into a room. Everyone looked in my direction. People started talking about me.

"She's Charles' new girlfriend?"

"She looks pretty too."

A laughing man interjected.

"Charles's girlfriend, you're not pretty?"

Seeing that I was not natural, Charles spoke up.

"Don't everyone come here for parties? Everyone keeps playing. What are people staring at my girlfriend for?"

People continued to have fun, but at the same time, they didn't pay attention to me anymore. No one talked to me. Charles led me over to Alan and Brian.

Alan looked at me.

"Charles, did you conquer her?"

Brian stepped forward as well.

"Don't you see who her conqueror is? Our Charles."

"You two shut up. Don't scare her."

No one wanted to talk to me. I couldn't get along with them either. I told Charles.

"I wanted to go home first."

He left his friends to take me to go home. I feel like Charles shouldn't do that. He has friends and has his life. I don't want to force him to change because he loves me. I also don't ask my boyfriend to revolve around me every day. I can go back to the dorm myself.

Charlie stayed and continued to have fun with his friends. I took a taxi to the familiar diner I used to eat dinner at. This place is not far from the dormitory. I finished eating and went back. But Serena stood in front of the dorm gate waiting for me.

I don't want to talk to her. I was about to ignore her and go straight into the room.

"Don't you want to know why Charles said he loved you?"

Why does Charles love me? This is always what interests me the most. But I don't want to hear the story of Charles from Serena herself. She loves Charles. She always wanted me to stay away from him. I won't believe what she says.

"A friend sent me a video. Every sentence, every word, what Charles said himself. Don't you want to watch it?"

I started to waver. I knew I shouldn't have listened to Serena's words. She doesn't mean well. She came to see me to destroy my love for Charles. But I'm curious. I want to know why Charles said he loved me.

Whatever the reason... it doesn't make any sense. Because I didn't believe Charles' confession of love in the first place. 

I like him, and I accept his confession of loving. Then I got worried. So I made up excuses to justify my stupidity.

Serena sent a video to my phone. I said nothing and turned to go inside.

"Jenny, I didn't mean to mess with you. Before Charles knew you, he accepted my feelings. I was madly in love with him. But by the time we slept together, he abandoned me. I started doing some bad things. I think I'm crazy. You never become a pitiful person like me."

I didn't answer Serena. I think I'm crazy too. From the moment I fell in love with Charles, I was no longer in control of my feelings. I was madly in love with Charles.

After all, Serena is also pitiful. She is Charles's betrothed wife, but she has to watch Charles fall in love with other girls. She loves Charles. He also once accepted her feelings. In the end, he abandoned her again for me. If I were her, I'd be angry, hurt, and do crazy things like her.

What is the video she sent me? Should I watch it or not?
