“I didn’t know… I’m not familiar with him…” Hearing the sound of the door lock, I greeted briefly and hung up the phone.
As I looked up, I met Christian’s beaming eyes.
“Who are you not familiar with?”
“You!”
I truthfully confessed, but Christian raised an eyebrow and pulled me into his arms with a mischievous smile.
“Alright, then tell me exactly how we’re not close. Is it because we haven’t been affectionate enough, or because we haven’t slept together? Hmm?”
His scorching breath sprayed in my ear.
Actions that used to be so intimate that made my face blush and my heart race, now only make me feel uncomfortable
and resistant.
Struggling, the lipstick stains on his shirt collar became visible.
I didn’t know where I got burned on my body, but it hurt so much that tears welled up in my eyes.
“What’s wrong? Renee, is there something wrong with you?
My tears made Christian panic. He rolled up his sleeves and saw a large area of red on my wrist, causing his voice to
tremble with heartache.
“What happened? When did you get burned, why didn’t you tell me?”
He seemed to have completely forgotten about what happened at the banquet.
I remained silent, unsure whether I should remind him and shatter his facade of deep affection.
“Okay, stop crying. I will give you some medicine.”
He comfortingly rubbed my head, stood up, and went to get the medicine box, muttering to himself as he walked.
“You’re an adult, yet you’re still so scared of pain and cry so easily. How would you manage without me?”
I stared blankly at the red burn on my wrist.
Yeah, I was spoiled for a whole seven years. What am I going to do without him?
But, Christian, I just didn’t want you anymore, didn’t want this fake relationship anymore!
