Chapter 25 Do You Love Me Or Her (2/2)

Miguel was waiting for her right outside the hotel with Spencer. He had ordered the rest of his people to go back to their respective positions. Leena and Spencer nodded at each other po

litely and were about to get in Miguel's car when suddenly, another car arrived. The driver's window rolled down. It was Rena. ”Leena! I'm here to pick you up!”

”Oh my God! Here comes the devil!” Spencer exclaimed in a shaky voice. As soon as those words left his lips, he realized trouble was imminent if Rena realized Miguel was here. And he was right. The moment Rena saw Miguel, her face fell. Rushing out of her car, she pointed a finger at Miguel menacingly. ”How dare you show up here! Didn't you run away with that bitch? What the hell are you doing here, ruining people's lives again? I've been wondering what I'd do to you if I ran into you, yet here you are. Come here! You absolutely need to be taught a lesson!”

Rena was so furious that, at first, no one dared to approach her. But just as she was marching towards Miguel ominously, Spencer valiantly rushed over to stop her. ”What do you think you're doing here?! This is between the two of them. They're just going to talk, alright? You have no right to get involved!”

”'No right to get involved' my ass!” she shouted at him. ”Let go of me! Or I'll beat the both of you myself!” Rena clenched her fists, indicating she was not joking. She continued to shout, ”Let go of me! Or else! I'm good at Taekwondo!”

Despite her threats, Spencer didn't give up. It seemed he would rather die than let her hurt his friend. At last, Leena lost her patience. ”Rena, stop. I'm simply going to talk to him.”

Rena continued to curse at them, throwing punches at Spencer. Finally, she stopped when she saw Leena glaring at her. ”Fine,” she spat. She finally stepped away from Spencer, leaving him wincing in pain. He shot her a defiant glance, then retreated to Miguel's side.

Leena and Miguel got into the car and drove away at once. Spencer and Rena, on the other hand, proceeded to get into their own cars and followed them from behind. They all rode in silence. When they made it to a quiet place, Miguel finally started to talk. ”Your friend is really strange. Is she always so hot tempered?”

”You can scold me, but leave my friend out of this!” Leena snapped, defending her friend fiercely.

Miguel didn't push the topic. The atmosphere suddenly dropped a thousand degrees. Both of them sat in awkward silence. At long last, Miguel broke the ice. ”You're judging me, aren't you? Since when?”

”Don't you think that's a stupid question?” she retorted. Obviously, when he cheated on her and left her in the dust to chase after Alina!

He replied, ”I admit I made a mistake, Leena, and I'm sorry for that. But I'm not here to argue with you today.”

'You have no idea how mad I am at you right now,' Leena thought in her heart. 'You don't understand, and you always look like you're better than me. I can't talk to you like this!'

”When I was with you, I was sincere,” Miguel continued. ”I did like you back when we were kids, so I was excited when I recognized you that night. From chasing after you, to finally being with you, I wasn't pretending at all. My feelings were true.”

She didn't answer immediately, but he didn't say anything more for a while. Finally, she asked pointedly, ”So, what?”

He sighed. ”But I didn't expect Alina would show up… I admit that I wasn't able to control myself when she was around. I still have feelings for her, but I don't think it's love. It's kind of a complicated feeling, and I don't have the words to explain it...”

”How could you say that?” She had no patience for this, he was giving such ridiculous excuses.

Miguel shook his head. ”You don't understand what we've been through, so you obviously wouldn't understand how I felt when I saw her again. My past with her was very complicated... When I found out that she was once abandoned, I took pleasure of her misfortune. But the moment I saw her drinking alone and crying, I felt sorry for her. I decided to listen to her and give her a shoulder to cry on, until I found out that I couldn’t simply let her go!”

”So, what exactly are you trying to tell me?” Leena had already been in a bad mood ever since she'd gotten into Miguel's car, but with every word he said, she'd grown angrier and angrier. By now, she was furious. Who wouldn't be, if the one they loved admitted he couldn't get over his ex-girlfriend?
