Chapter 61 Lets Run Away (1/2)
Because of Euralia's lie, Bill couldn't fall asleep for the whole night.
He mistakenly thought that he was not so important in her heart, and that she obviously listened to Cale's words about the reunion.
She didn't take his words seriously at all. He had been pampering her all the time, but it wasn't paid off by Euralia's love for him. The more he thought about it, the angrier he was.
Bill came to the living room early in the morning and enjoyed his morning tea. He felt bored and stood in front of the floor to ceiling windows, watching the morning sunlight.
After a while, she went downstairs well-dressed. She could not bear to disturb him at the sight of his back.
What's wrong with my brother today? Standing in the sunlight? Euralia quietly walked over to the window, standing beside him and looking up at the harsh morning light.
”Brother, what's wrong?” She asked out of curiosity, turning her head to one side.
She saw that Bill's eyes were slightly red and they were bloodshot.
”Didn't you sleep well last night?” Asked Euralia.
Bill did not respond. He returned to the sofa and sat down. He was unusually cold towards her. He didn't want to talk to her anymore.
She thought he was angry because she used all kinds of methods to make him agree to go to the gathering of classmates yesterday. But now, she began to feel unhappy about his incomprehensibility.
She sat quietly on the sofa too, waiting for Cale to pick her up. They just ignored each other.
Bill picked up the newspaper and read it, while Euralia turned on the TV to watch the news. She raised the voice deliberately to attract his attention. But the influence didn't work, he was still staring at the newspaper in his hand.
Terri came back from shopping and was surprised to see this scene. They hugged each other last night. Why did they suddenly ignore each other now?
”Terri, this TV is not loud enough. Change it to a louder one.” She purposely raised her voice, which was so loud that the whole living room was filled with the noise of TV and her chattering.
”Yes, madam. But it seems that you don't like watching TV before.” Terri interjected.
”I like watching TV now, and the louder the voice is, the better.” She got more angry when he ignored her.
”But you will disturb Mr. Bill.” Terri glimpsed at Bill who was sitting still on the couch.
He still kept silent, without making any sound.
”You see, if he has no objections, it means that he acquiesces. Just do as I say.” Euralia didn't expect that his brother still ignored her and became even angrier.
Terri realized that they were in conflict but she didn't want to be involved and quickly found an excuse to leave.
There were only the two of them in the living room. Because of Bill's indifference, Euralia made a phone call to urge Cale to pick her up as soon as possible.
