Chapter 336 Extra Story No. 6 About Pauline Gu (1/2)

It was at the fifth day when I finally decided to ask my dad. ”Dad, where is Kris?”

Dad took a glance at me and then replied, ”He is busy with his work these days, so he has been sleeping in company office lately. What is wrong? Pauline, you look weird.”

I was diffident all of a sudden, so I just grinned and replied, ”Nothing is wrong. It just feels strange that I haven't seen him in so many days.”

I was not sure if that had convinced Dad at that time. About a week later, my brother told me that Kris had broken up with his girlfriend.

I grabbed his arm in a hurry upon hearing this and asked, ”Then can you see me off tomorrow?”

He did not decline my request this time and promised me that he would, with a faint smile.

But I was fidgeting, so I bit my lip tightly and looked at him without uttering a word.

Perhaps he also sensed my uneasiness, so he glanced at me worryingly and asked, ”Are you okay?”
