"I'll keep a distance from other men. I won't make things difficult for you," I said with a forced smile.
"That’s the best." After saying that, Harrison turned around and got in the car.
It wasn't until the sound of the car door closing that I woke up. I looked up at the endless sky and suddenly had an illusion that the sky was big, but there was no place for me to stay.
Recalling the scene of leaving the company just now, it was Harrison who pulled me away. It was Louie who said, "Harrison, as long as you don't treat Chelsea well, I will take her back without hesitation."
When they got home, Harrison didn't wait for me as usual. Instead, he went into the villa. If I hadn't moved quickly, he would have been locked up outside the villa.
When I changed my shoes, Harrison was no longer in the living room. The big villa was empty, as if I was the only one living there. This feeling of emptiness made me feel scared. I endured my sadness and turned on the TV. I turned on the sound a little louder, pretending that I was not alone at home.
When people were vulnerable, they would always think of things and people in the past. I remembered that when my mother had not passed away, the two of us stayed at home to cook and watch TV on weekends. We would also comment on the characters on TV and criticize them for being silly and sweet. It was such a boring thing, but now I felt very happy when I thought about it.
"If I were given another chance, I would still want to return to my previous life. As for Harrison, do I still want to meet him? I've thought about this hypothesis for a long time, but I still can't come up with an answer..."
On TV, the man and the woman hugged each other tightly, telling their sadness and happiness. Although I was watching TV, I was thinking about how to sleep at night. Now that I was in such a mess with Harrison, should I go to the bedroom to sleep at night?
"If I go back to the bedroom to sleep, what if he lock the door and doesn't let me in? If I stay in the living room all night, I'm afraid that the problem between us will become more and more troublesome. I haven't been distressed about such a thing since I confirmed my relationship with Harrison."
I've always been worried that I don't deserve him. Our status and relationship are not good, but I didn't expect that one day I would be so jealous because of him, although he didn't admit it was because he was jealous.
It was getting dark when I thought about it. My stomach was growling. I didn't want to cook, so I thought that Harrison must be hungry now. So I decided to get up and cook. When the meal was ready, I began to think about how to call him, but I didn't expect him to appear in the living room at the right time and sit at the table.
In general, this meal was a little awkward, but it was a little awkward for me, because the two of us hardly spoke during the whole process.
"Fu... Harrison, are you going to deal with something later?" I summoned up the courage to ask.
"Yes." Harrison gave a brief "yes" and stopped talking.
It wasn't easy for me to find a topic to talk about, but I didn't expect to be cut off just like that. I racked my brain helplessly and began to think of other ways to break through. "It's not suitable for me to sit down and work immediately after dinner. I can't laugh at food like that. I think I should exercise."
Hearing what I said, Harrison's hand, which was supposed to send food to his mouth, paused and he looked up at me.
"Would you like to join us later?" I said quickly.
Harrison slowly put down his bowl and chopsticks and wiped his mouth. "Are you that thirsty?"
"What does going out for exercise have to do with thirst?" I didn't understand the meaning of these two words, so I asked, "Could it be that the food I cooked today is salty, so I’m thirsty?"
Then I picked up some food and tasted it, but it was not salty at all. When I was about to ask Harrison again, I saw him looking at me with a faint smile.
