Chapter 247 The Truth (2/2)

for her comment, he said, ”So, you lack self-confidence, huh? If I really wanted to flirt with a beautiful girl, it wouldn't be you, because you're too silly!”

Amelia didn't respond, he didn't seem to get the memo.

”Would you like some?” The man passed over a bottle of soda water to Amelia, and stared at her face. His eyes were so blue, like the sky. Strange looking.

Amelia reacted in an awkward way. After all, they didn't know each other. She just shook her head rudely.

”Go on! Drink it. You're not going to die!” The man forced the soda into her hand. He wasn't the type of take no for an answer. Pointing at the opposite coast, he explained, ”Every afternoon, I come to exercise. I've seen you more than once around here.”

”Really? You've seen me before?” Amelia remembered that she had come here with Lucian about three times. Last time, she had come here because she was also in a bad mood. Hmm, was there a pattern here?

”You know there was a woman who tried to commit suicide last time? You ran to the seaside so quickly. When I passed by, she called you a mistress.” He pulled another soda out of his bag, and expertly cracked the top off. He drank half of it in one gulp.

Amelia looked at him and swallowed as well, mirroring him. She reluctantly opened the soda and drank it.

She actually hated carbonated drinks, her stomach felt as if someone just poured acid inside it. She ended up choking on it.

”Don't chug it like a beer!” The white man found it amusing to watch her struggle.

But, he was right. It felt like she was drowning her sorrows with cheap boxed wine.

”You know, I'd actually prefer it if I could get drunk.” She sighed and grimaced bitterly.

”It's easy.” The man suddenly stood up, he told her before leaving, ”You stay here. I'll be right back.”
