Cigarette?
Jeremy laughed when he heard it.
"I say, is it really okay for you to be such a coward? That woman just ran away with another man. I'm telling you, if you really are a man, you should have followed her. Don't waste your time on other things. Go and seize the opportunity."
Seize?
Sam felt a little amused when he heard his advice. But he also felt bitter in his heart and a taste of resentment spread across his chest. He could not even force a smile.
"Do you have any cigarette?"
He asked again.
Jeremy kept silent.
After a long while, Jeremy reached into his coat pocket and fumbled around. Then he took out a pack of cigarettes and handed it to Sam.
Sam took one cigarette out and bit it in between his lips.
He waited for a long while, but Jeremy still hadn't given him a lighter.
Sam frowned and looked at him. Jeremy smiled innocently and said, "Why are you looking at me? Your Young Master Yardley was so anxious to see me. It's not my fault that I forgot to bring a lighter, isn't it?"
Sam was a bit dumbstruck. "What's the point of you carrying cigarettes if you don't have a f*cking lighter?"
Jeremy replied, "F*ck. How can you say such things? Go and say it to her if you dare."
"F*ck off."
He impatiently threw the cigarette back to Jeremy. Not only could he not vent his annoyance, he became even more irritable because he couldn't get what he wanted. Jeremy felt otherwise, he grinned cheekily as he put away the cigarettes.
"It's useless for you to get angry at me. Firstly, I'm not your rival in love. Second, I'm not your enemy. Lastly, I'm a brother who has helped you. I'm not asking you to thank me, but how could you vent your frustrations at me?"
Sam pursed his lips lightly and remained silent.
Just then, Jeremy suddenly got close and scrutinized him. Sam frowned slightly as he noticed he was staring at the scar on his face, and his expression suddenly became unnatural.
"What are you doing?" He asked coldly.
He then turned his face away, hiding his horrible scar in the shadow.
Truth be told, this scar was not that important to him.
But that was before he started to have feelings for someone.
In the past, he could not even have been bothered about this scar.
But now?
When Sam turned his head, Jeremy seemed to have immediately read his mind. He sneered and said, "Was I mistaken? You actually don't dare to let me see your scar. Sam, are you afraid to express your feelings to the girl because of this scar?"
"No, it's not that." Sam quickly denied.
Jeremy squinted his eyes slightly and his pupils darted back and forth. After a while, he laughed, "Don't you know that denying twice is the same as confirming?"
Sam kept quiet.
Sam glanced at him, opened the door to get out of the car, and left the key to Jeremy.
"What? Are you embarrassed because what I said hit the mark?" Jeremy asked.
When Sam didn't answer, Jeremy stretched out his hand to pull the hem of Sam's clothes and said, "I say, what's wrong with having some scars? Which man didn't have injuries in the past? If every man behaves like you, doesn't that mean that nobody will get married?"
He waited for his reply.
"Jeremy, you really have a lot of things to say today. But these things have nothing to do with you. You don't need to worry about them," Sam said.
"Do you think I'd care if you weren't my brother and have relationship issues? Fine, I only have time to talk to you today. I don't think I'll have the chance again when you go back to Hildago. You can just think of me as a talkative person with too much time to waste today. But I'm serious about what I told you just now. Feel free to come back to me anytime."
