Sonnet and Lindy were discussing something in Sonnet’s room. “Why don’t I call Lucas tomorrow and ask him to come over for a meal? I’ll clarify everything to him in person.” Lindy had a worried expression on her face. “I’m afraid he’ll lose control of himself in front of you. My mom and your dad both don’t know that he likes you. Would things get awkward?” “In that case, let’s meet up somewhere outside,” Sonnet said.“You should meet up with him alone. I won’t join you,” Lindy said. Sonnet looked at her. She then said hesitantly, “Why don’t I tell him that you like him? Just like me, perhaps he has never expected you to have a crush on him. Maybe he’d look at you differently and develop feelings for you after knowing about your crush on him.” “It’s alright. If I want him to know about my feelings for him, I’ll tell him myself. However, I don’t think there’s a need to do so right now. I’ve gotten over my feelings for him.” Sonnet hugged her gently and said, “Alright, you
Lindy and Sonnet stared at the men before them in shock.It was as if Lucas and Marcus were elementary school students that had done something wrong. They scratched their heads and had similar looks of embarrassment on their faces. The policeman told Sonnet, “They were involved in a fight. The other party didn’t want to press charges against them nor did they want compensation. Please pay the fine and bring them home. Don’t make the same mistakes ever again!” Sonnet exchanged a few words with the policeman in an apologetic tone and paid the fine for both of them. She then brought the two men out of the police station.“My car is still parked at the bar. Can you drive me back?” Marcus asked softly as he tugged on Lindy’s sleeve.Lindy flung his hand off her agitatedly and said, “Come on!” Lucas stared at them both in a daze. Sonnet turned around to look at him. “Both of us should go first!” Lucas finally returned to his senses and left with Sonnet. They both went their s
Marcus was amused. What was Lindy thinking about?!“I went out drinking with some friends after work. I ran into him by coincidence, so I had some drinks with him. However, someone tried to get touchy with him. Although he has a pretty face, he’s pretty manly. He hit them immediately,” Marcus explained. Lindy finally sighed in relief. “I see. You scared me to death!” Marcus looked at her with a vague expression on his face. “What’s the matter? Will you be disappointed if Lucas falls for me?” “Nope.” “In that case, why are you overreacting so much?” Lindy did not know how to answer his question. At that moment, she did not know what she was thinking. She probably did not like the idea of Lucas getting together with Marcus. Perhaps it was because they were both her friends. “Actually, you could’ve just let me be. I can go back myself and return to the bar to fetch my car tomorrow,” Marcus said in a pitiful tone. Lindy found it hilarious. “If you didn’t want me to hel
“Those men are terrible. How dare they beat you so badly? I’ll beat them up on your behalf!” Lindy could not help but shout. Marcus’s gaze shone as he looked at her. “Are you pitying me?” Lindy’s face flushed red. She waved her hands at once. “Don’t overthink. I can’t bear the thought of my friends getting bullied.” “Lucas was beaten too. Why didn’t you go back to check on him?” Marcus asked. Marcus realized that Lindy had checked him first although she saw both Lucas and him sitting together in the police station. She was evidently showing him pity right now! He felt overjoyed. A sense of anticipation rose within him. Perhaps Lindy had started caring about him. Perhaps she no longer liked Lucas Mack! Lindy was stunned after hearing Marcus’s question. She felt rather shocked as well. He was right. Why was she not worried about Lucas? Lucas was injured as well. Why did she not worry about him at all? Why did she pity Marcus for getting injured instead? Should she n
Lucas had a dream. He dreamt that he, Sonnet, and Lindy had entered a terrifying cave together. There were monsters and a river with rapid currents. He had fallen into the river while they were hiding from the monsters. Lindy jumped into the river selflessly to rescue him. Just as she was about to pull him up to the shore, the monsters caught up with her. Lindy pushed him to the shore with all her might and shouted, “Run away!” One of the monsters then attacked her!At that moment, his heart lurched. He screamed her name with all his might. Nevertheless, Lindy had already disappeared inside the monster’s mouth. He screamed and woke from his nightmare. His forehead was beaded with sweat. An empty sensation filled his heart. It was as if he had lost something important. He grabbed his phone instinctively and found Lindy’s contact. He was about to dial her number when he suddenly remembered that it had just been a dream. Lucas smiled bitterly and wiped away the sweat on his fore
Lucas asked Sophia. “Aunt York, I’m currently using an overseas phone number. I don’t have Lindy’s phone number saved on it. Can I call Lindy using your phone?” Sophia nodded and handed her phone to him. He walked into the washroom and dialed her number. The call went through. However, nobody picked up even after several rings. The call then hung up automatically. He called again but the same thing happened. He called her thrice in a row, but nobody picked up. Lucas started feeling extremely frustrated. Marcus had drunk alcohol last night. Could anything have happened between them? He felt upset when he thought about how something could have happened between Lindy and Marcus last night. He did not bother to wash up. He left Lindy’s apartment, walked across, and knocked on Sonnet’s door. Sonnet opened the door. He immediately asked, “Do you have Marcus Pine’s phone number?” Sonnet was stunned. “What’s the matter?” “Lindy didn’t come home last night!” Lucas did not
How could Marcus confirm that Lindy was still asleep so quickly?If Lindy was sleeping in the guest room at his place, would Marcus not only be able to answer Lucas after heading to her room to take a look?Even if Marcus was in the living room, he would not be able to confirm that Lindy was still asleep so quickly if the door of the guest room was closed. How could he confirm so instantly? Unless he was beside Lindy, and she was asleep next to him on his bed! With this thought in mind, the image of Lindy sleeping next to Marcus, bare-shouldered with her hair splayed across the pillow, eyes closed softly…Suddenly, he felt a pang of pain shoot through his heart. It hurt so much that he felt suffocated.He started walking in circles around his room. His heart was filled with unexplainable rage and panic. It felt like something that he had nurtured and taken care of for a long time had been given away to someone else! The more he thought about it, the more anxious he felt. Fina
Lindy had no idea how to respond to him and was embarrassed. She simply spat at him and said, “You’re shameless!” Marcus laughed even more happily. He liked it when Lindy was shy and at a loss for words. She looked so adorable that he wished that he could keep her all to himself! He decided to act even more shamelessly. He picked up her sandwich and took a bite from it. He then held the sandwich to her lips with his lips! Lindy did not expect him to do that. Stunned, she pushed him forcefully on the shoulder and shouted, “Scram!” He did not budge. He cupped her jaw in his hand and forced open her mouth. She relented from the pain. He then fed her the piece of sandwich in his mouth. “Mmph!” Lindy’s mouth was stuffed full like a chipmunk’s. She wanted to scold him but she could only make a muffled sound.She had no choice but to reach out and hit him. However, he dodged her in an agile manner. He sat down opposite her, now all serious. He rested his chin on his hand and w
