Chapter 7: Inferior To A Dog On The Roadside (1/2)

Proofreader: Peter Gong

At 11 o’clock late at night, Mandy stares at the ceiling with her eyes opened in the darkness. It’s quiet around. It seems that there is only silence left in her world. Her world is silent either on the bright day or on the pitch-dark night in which she can’t see her hands in front of her.

She admits that Charlie is the winner, and she suffers from mental torture, which is more terrible than physical torture. n.o.body talks with her. There is no sound except TV. At first, she can talk to herself, but now she hasn’t spoken for nearly half a month.

Just then, there is a sudden stir outside the house.

Mandy is stunned and unconsciously sits up from the bed. The house is still quiet, but the footsteps outside become more and more clear.

Is that Charlie?

Mandy thinks that it is impossible, after all, today is his wedding day. He exposes her to such a dangerous situation by all means in order to marry Vivi. So, he should stay with Vivi right now, how could he come here again?

Perhaps, it is a thief. As soon as this idea occurs to her mind, Mandy feels vaguely happy rather than scared. She hasn’t talked with people for a long time. She is willing to give the thief everything in the house as long as he takes her away. If he is vicious, she doesn’t mind her being killed by the thief.

To leave, or to die——either way is a relief for her now.

While she thinks, the door of the room is unlocked by someone, and comes the pungent smell of alcohol.

In the dark, the man’s eyes are like stars in the sky.

Mandy is stunned there at once. Faster than she can respond, the man rushes over and presses her under him. When his hot palm touches her skin, Mandy suddenly comes to her senses, stretches out her hands and tries to push the man away. She shouts in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “Charlie, are you crazy?”

She will never mistake those eyes for the whole life.

The man’s hands continue his previous actions without a word. Mandy is not so strong as Mandy, so she can’t move.

Looking at the figure groveling on her body, she feels extremely humiliated. It is obviously that they have divorced. It is obviously that he is the most hated person for her. But she can do nothing about him.

Suddenly, Mandy stops pus.h.i.+ng him and puts her hands around Charlie’s neck. She buries her head in his neck, but bites him hard by her teeth the next second.

Charlie comes to his senses because of the sudden pain from his neck. He shakes off Mandy, steps back, stares at her eyes, and says coldly, “Mandy, are you getting tired of living?”

“Charlie, today is your wedding day. You don’t stay with Vivi, but come to me here. Do you suddenly find you have fallen in love with me? You can’t live without me?” Seeing him stand up, Mandy can’t help saying ironically.

At her words, Charlie’s face hidden in the darkness takes on a trace of embarra.s.sed anger. He sneers and says, ‘Mandy, you are really the most shameless woman I have ever seen. I fall in love with you? That’s really a big joke!’
