Chapter 406 - Stop wasting my time (1/2)

Ryn finally lifted up her head after half an hour. She walked slowly to the balcony and looked up at the sky. It was dark. There was no star at all.

Ryn sighed. Her hands wrapped around herself. She was still feeling uneasy with this. Her mind was screaming for her to contact him, to talk with him. Her mind kept telling her running away like this was not the right choice.

But her heart... her poor heart kept telling her that it was useless trying to talk with him. He would never listen to her. He always used his love as the reason for him to force his decision on her. Was it so hard for him to listen?

She sighed again. Even sitting on the balcony under the moonlight did not make her feel better. She stood up and went back inside, not forgetting to slide the sliding door close to block the night wind as well as the mosquito.

She sat on the couch. This time her eyes landed on the mobile phone. She took it out and put it on the nightstand just before she went out to the balcony. The screen was black. She already switched it off after so many miscall and messages from Jeremy.

”Is this what we have to face now?” she murmured. She hated this feeling so much. She longed for his love but it meant that she has to allow him to decide everything for her, she would rather be alone.

But she did not want to be separated from him! She wanted to be with him.

This indecisive feeling in her heart made her crazy. Was she going to break up with him? If she did, what would happen to her? To them?

She sighed as she rubbed her face. She had no idea what she should think about. Her mind was in a mess.

”Better I sleep. Tomorrow I still have to go to work,” she told herself loudly. She tried to coax herself fro, feeling depressed from what happened today. She did not want to fall into that state again.

She went into the bathroom to have a quick shower to clean the sweat from the whole day's working. But it was just a plan. Once she saw the bathtub, she decided a bath was better. She wasn't that sleepy to sleep. And maybe, by soaking herself in the water, she would feel better.

She turned the tap and poured a generous amount of bath foam. Then, she went back to the bed and sat with her back against the headbed. She pulled her knees close to her chest and rested her chin on top. She closed her eyes with a heavy sigh.

*~*~*~*

Jeremy stared at his phone. His teeth gritted tightly as he held onto his temper desperately.

It had been hours.

She should already calm down and realize what he told her was for the sake of their future. She should realize her fault and promise him she would not repeat it again.

However, it seemed like she was still being stubborn. She refuse to answer to any of his calls. Even his messages were left unread.

And now, it seemed like she switched off her phone.

What more does she want? Does she want him to kneel on his knees and apologize?

He gripped his fist. He would not apologise for fighting for their love.

He checked the time and decided if she refused to answer his call, might as well he goes to her place and meet with face to face, in person.

He grabbed his car key and wallet before headed to the door. But, as he reached the wooden door, his phone rang.

Ryn, his heart whispered and a smile appeared on his otherwise cold face.

To his disappointment, it was not his girlfriend but her manager, Mei Li. He almost wanted to reject the call but he managed to control his instinct. He accepted the call instead.

”Hello.”

His cold voice sent a shiver to Mei Li. Oh no. Had she chosen the wrong time to call him? But when else could she call? She did not want to wait, afraid that it would make the situation worsen. Sooner or later, she had to make this dreadful call and face his anger.

Poor her.

Mei Li took a deep breath to calm down, even gulped her saliva a few times to steal a little bit of time.

”What is it, Mei Li?” Jeremy asked impatiently.
