"Knock, knock, knock..."
Impatiently, Sharon knocked on the door. Shawn's words were still echoing in her mind, over and over.
The truth was, she had never seriously thought about these things. Now that Shawn had brought it up, it planted a thorn in her heart.
"Click", the door opened When Melody saw her, she was surprised. "Sharon?"
Then, Sharon walked in and hugged her. "It's me."
"Uh, what's the matter?"
"I'm not happy."
Pausing for a moment, Melody then patted her on the shoulder. Closing the door, Melody took her to the bedroom, poured her a glass of water, and then asked, "You don't look well. If you don't want to say it, just take a rest. When you're ready, we'll talk about it."
As always, Melody knew how to comfort her. Sharon took a deep breath, nodded her head and lay on her bed with the intention to sleep. Not being able to sleep well last night, she thought she should fall asleep quickly. But after tossing and turning, she did not feel sleepy at all.
Finally, she sighed and patted the place next to him. "Let's sleep together."
Glancing down at her, Melody then lay down beside her.
With that, Sharon leaned her head on her shoulder. After thinking for a long time, she slowly opened her mouth and said, "School is about to begin. Have you finished sorting out your things?"
"I've almost finished packing. I've also quit my work in the music room. In two days, when school starts, I'll move my things there."
"Oh, I see."
"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
"It's nothing. I'm just asking."
"Is there anything else you want to ask?"
"Nope."
"Is there anything else you want to say?"
Biting her lips. After a long while, Sharon slightly nodded her head.
"Well, you can say anything you want in front of me." Melody hugged her. "You can tell me anything that you're unhappy about."
Having such a friend, Sharon's life was worth it. She tugged at the corners of her mouth and said in a muffled voice, "Do you think that Stanley loves me?"
Stunned for a moment before lifting up her chin, Melody asked, "Darling, did you quarrel with him again?"
"No, we're fine. I'm just asking. Do you think he loves me?"
Pursing her lips, Melody asked, "Do you want to hear the truth?"
"Of course I want to know the truth."
"In the past, I felt that Stanley did not love you, and even doubted why he wanted to marry you. But later..." At this point, Melody paused for a moment, then smiled and pinched her face. "Later, I noticed that he had feelings for you. I could feel that he loved you, and I could see it from his loving gaze."
Hearing that, Sharon felt mixed emotions. If Stanley loved her, why did she not feel a sense of security?
"He didn't back home a whole night."
Saying that, Sharon lowered her eyes.
Stunned, Melody comforted, "Maybe something's up?"
"He's with his first love, the two of them stayed in the hospital for the whole night."
"Uh, do you mean Jewel?"
"No, another woman who was very important to him."
First love was extremely important to every man. They hold an incomparable position in every man's heart. Melody finally knew why she was in a bad mood.
"Don't think too much, you're just wrapping yourself up. Maybe he just spent a simple night in the hospital. As for his phone that was turned off, maybe the battery was out? Finally, the two you are slowly getting along. So don't think too much, or it will have the opposite effect. You need to learn to believe him!"
Comforting her, Melody said, "Also, it's impossible for him to be missing forever. He'll come back sooner or later. By then, you can ask him directly about what happened. Now, you're just putting yourself in more trouble."
Honestly, Melody was speaking the truth. Sharon also understood that she should be thinking like that. However, in her heart, she was unable to overcome that barrier.
Since Melody was not the person in concern, her thoughts were clearer, and her feelings were also clearly divided...
