Katharine landed a mean punch on Caleb, with strong strength. As the wind of her punch passed, a trace of blood trickled from the corner of Caleb's mouth.
She was about to throw another punch, but the sight of blood made her instinctively pause.
“Why didn't you dodge?”
“I deserved it.”
Caleb wiped the blood from his lips, looking up at an angry Katharine.
“I apologize. I shouldn't have treated you like that. It's my fault.”
Katharine’s fist landed heavily on Caleb's face again!
“Is that all you did wrong, treating me like that?!”
Caleb, clutching his aching face, stared dumbfounded at Katharine.
“I can't think of anything else I did to wrong you...”
“Nothing else?!” Tears welled up in Katharine's eyes. “You even lied about all details, did you ever think about my feelings?!”
Caleb was taken aback, opening his mouth to explain, but realized he had indeed deceived her.
“I apologize. It's my fault. I didn't consider your feelings…”
He thought Katharine was just spending time with him, taking what they needed from each other, and then they could easily part.
So from the beginning, he didn't think too much about it. Now, being questioned tearfully by Katharine, he suddenly felt he was being unreasonable.
“You don't like me, of course you wouldn't consider my feelings…”
Again, she hit him with a sentence he couldn't rebut.
“I…I’m sorry.”
The fondness Caleb felt deep down couldn't be voiced, all he could do was apologize.
“Is that what I want, your apology?!”
“Then…what do you want me to do?”
He was willing to do anything to calm her down.
But to Katharine, it seemed Caleb had not truly realized his mistake.
She looked at Caleb disappointedly.
She had been giving Caleb chances, if only he said he liked her, she would consider forgiving him.
But Caleb never expressed any affection, only apologies, which to a woman, was undoubtedly an insult!
Katharine wanted to give him a good beating, but couldn't bring herself to do it. Not because she couldn't bear to, but because she had fallen for this jerk and didn't want him to get hurt.
