Chapter 3
“At the end of the year, the bicycle, that red car blocked the road, and you forcefully pushed it away with your
car. The sound of sirens, the chatter of people around, my screams, I said, ‘Steve, can you just listen to me once?’ How did you respond?”
“What did you want to say?”
“You said, no!”
Steve’s face looked very unpleasant.
He was always like this, with a bad temper, exploding at the slightest provocation.
I got very angry that time. At the beginning, I kept stopping him.
“Don’t worry, I’ll go make a phone call and have someone else move the car.”
He didn’t listen and resisted.
“Steve, enough!”
He continued to step on the accelerator.
More and more people gathered around the car, and someone had already started calling the police.
I grabbed his arm, my eyes turning red.
“Can you listen to me once?”
He had no expression on his face and said, “No!”
He was a man with such a temper.
Vivian said, “Steve, you listened.”
He really lowered his head.
I couldn’t help but ask, “If it wasn’t for Vivian making you obedient, would you come to me?”
Steve took a deep breath and clenched his fist. “Josie, don’t go looking for trouble for no reason!”
“So, if Vivian told you to listen, you listened, right?”
“Josie, you’ve had enough!”
“Wasn’t it?”
“Yes! What is it?”
Steve swept the water cup off the table with a loud crash.
He stared at me intensely, as if he wanted to devour me alive.
“You insist on thinking badly of people, don’t you? Do you think I have something going on with Vivian? Even
92.31%
if I did, she asked me to apologize to you? If you don’t have a brain, then don’t speak! You’re always. suspicious, I can see that you don’t want to get married!”
“Don’t get married then!”
“What did you say?”
I slowly stood up, and my hands began to tremble due to intense emotional fluctuations.
“I said, let’s not get married, let’s break up!”
Steve took a step forward, causing me to stumble backwards. He gritted his teeth and said, “Say it again!”
“I said…”
“Shut up!”
Steve panted heavily and kicked the low stool on the ground.
I trembled for a moment, tightly suppressing the scream that was about to burst out of my throat.
Steve said, “Josie, don’t regret it!”
He left with his head held high, and the door was firmly shut.
The house was in a mess, and I fell to the ground, crying out in a suppressed manner.
Steve and I, I was chasing him.
In high school, he was the coolest one in the entire grade.
I confessed my feelings to him.
He pulled on the school badge on my uniform and said, “Josie? Sorry, I don’t date losers! Just because of
this sentence he said.
In one year’s time, I worked hard and managed to get into the school that was originally beyond my reach.
Arabella froze. “Why do you say that?”
He smirked, casually twirling the pen.
“Dating? Sure, let’s do it!”
Dating Steve was quite challenging.
With his bad temper, even a clay figure could make him angry.
At first, I felt that he didn’t like me that much. It was just that I happened to pursue him while he happened to
be interested in dating.
Once, during an argument, I blurted out these words.
Steve’s eyes turned red with anger. “With hundreds of students in the grade, why do you think I would know
9231%
that you are a poor student?”
“Josie, are you a pig? If a person approaches me for a romantic relationship, I would talk to her?”
Steve’s likes were hidden very deep.
You had to slowly dig and discover.
I used to be able to feel pleasure in this process.
But slowly, this process made me tired.
I thought, forget it!
