At this moment, I stood still and didn't dare to move, for fear of being discovered by Harrison at the corridor entrance.
It was a pity that she couldn't understand my painstaking efforts. She was a few steps away from me and continued to ask "kindly", "Is there something wrong with you standing here and not going back?"
"I... I'm fine."
"If you don't have anything to do, go back quickly. Although there is no one at home now, you still have to go home when it's time to go home." The mother-in-law instructed.
I could only nod, indicating that I understood.
"What else can I say at this time? I can't blame Auntie for being nosy. After all, she's doing this for my own good, and she doesn't know Harrison's existence."
After thinking for a while and finally calming down, I finally got the courage to turn around and go home. But when I turned around, something unexpected happened. Harrison was not standing there!
"Did I see wrongly just now? Recently, he has been wandering in front of me, so that's why I have an illusion? No, it shouldn't be. It's not a situation that I can’t forget. I need a reason to have an illusion, right?"
However, no matter what I thought, Harrison did not stand at the corridor, but I did not relax either. After all, in addition to the corridor, there were also the stairs to go home and even home. It was not like nothing had happened when he appeared at my house for no reason.
Originally, it only took me five minutes to get home, but today, it took me nearly half an hour. I kept alert on every floor. When I arrived at the door, I looked around to see if Harrison would suddenly appear at any time.
When I opened the door, I didn't go in immediately. Instead, I looked outside for a while to make sure that no one could go in. Then I went in carefully to check if anyone was in every room. It could be said that my current state was comparable to the police's search.
About an hour later, I finally confirmed that Harrison was not at my house. I poured a cup of water and put it on the tea table. I lay comfortably on the sofa and closed my eyes, letting out a long sigh of relief.
All of a sudden, I opened my eyes and felt endless sorrow in my heart. This feeling came so suddenly that I had no time to prepare and deal with it.
I don't know whether Harrison has appeared or not, but what was the purpose of my actions just now? Do I really not want to see Harrison? Did I only have this illusion when I thought of him, or...
I don't dare to think about it, and I don't dare to investigate it further, because I'm afraid I'm thinking too much. I think he will take me seriously.
Just as I was lost in my thoughts, the phone in my hand kept vibrating. I picked it up in low spirits. "Hello?"
"Don't be disappointed. I did go to see you."
Harrison! It was Harrison's voice!
I raised my head suddenly, feeling neither happy nor sad. There was a sense of anger in my heart that had been seen through. I pretended to be calm and said disdainfully, "Who will be disappointed? What does it have to do with me whether you come or not? We are completely cut off now. Don't forget this matter."
"If you stand behind the wall and don't dare to face me, I naturally want to satisfy your feelings," he said.
"You bastard!"
My anger rose several levels again. I couldn't wait to pull this man out of the phone and give him a good beating!
Harrison's low laughter came from the phone, which made me extremely irritable. I grabbed the phone with both hands and was about to say goodbye to him!
