Chapter 42 - Angel Is Smart (1/2)

Bad luck is a misused word. Because oftentimes, it's not that we have a stroke of bad luck but rather that our good luck has run out. And we also forget that when luck runs out that's when the fate starts playing its game. After all, fate always manages to find its way.

Xiu was the person who believed in bad luck and she also believed that bad luck could destroy a person. Darren, however, wasn't like her. In his opinion, everything happens for a reason; Good or bad alike. Because we can run from destiny for as long as fate doesn't have the desire to pull us back on track.

As for Xiu and Darren... They both didn't know but the fate had already started its game. All that left was for them to understand this game.

Right now...

The understanding nature of Darren had already taken Xiu off guard. Since he really didn't ask for any remuneration. It was surprising, to say the least. But the fact was that Darren believed in her words. No one would cause the accident on purpose and the sincerity in her eyes were enough for him.

It was indeed the cat's fault and no one could ask the cat for money now, could they?

”So, I can really leave?” Xiu asked cautiously looking at his expressions.

”Yes.” Darren gave a monosyllable reply in a monotonous tone.

However, just as Xiu was about to alight in her car, she turned to look at his face and couldn't help asking, ”Are you normally this understanding?”

Darren looked back into her eyes and contemplated her words. Was he really this understanding? Not really. Yes, he wasn't unreasonable like Dylan but still...

”What if I say no?” Xiu wiggled her nose as she shook her head.

”Nah! She is not ready to believe it.” Xiu mumbled mostly to herself.

”Who?” He asked doubtfully as he looked around but found no one in sight.

”Aiyo, the stupid angel on my right shoulder,” Xiu replied in a daze and bit her tongue as soon as she realized how stupid she must have sounded.

Darren, on the other hand, had some other opinions. He chuckled and asked, ”So, didn't that devil on your left shoulder gave you the idea to just run after the accident?”

Xiu clicked her tongue in disappointment as she said, ”She did. But then that stupid angel reminded me that there are cameras around us. We won't be able to run far.” She sighed heavily at the end and found it really strange that she was talking so comfortably with Darren. Why was she disclosing her own thoughts? With this ease?
