Chapter 112 I Cut My Wrist
When Miranda arrived in a hurry, she was fuming.
"I'm so frustrated! The traffic in City C is horrendous. A 20 minutes journey turned into 40 minutes!
As soon as she sat down, she began to complain.
However, the person in front of her was as still as a statue.
"Hey, Rosa... Rosa!" Miranda called her loudly.
"Uh..." Rosa quickly came to her senses and looked at her. "You're here?"
"What were you thinking about? I've been here for hours already!" Miranda said exaggeratedly.
The corner of Rosa's mouth twitched slightly as she said, "Sorry... I was... distracted just now!"
"Hey, what did you do?" Miranda grabbed her hand and saw the back of her hand red and bleeding.
Rosa looked down at her hands in surprise.
"I... I..."
"What were you thinking about? You didn't know that you were hurting your own hand?" Miranda sounded helpless. "Oh my god, alright, alright. Mr. Wright is your weakness. Ever since he came back you haven't been acting like yourself!"
Rosa looked down and sat quietly.
Miranda was even more certain of her answer.
"I'm speechless. You can't just judge a person by his appearance. Mr. Wright is indeed handsome and talented. But he doesn't even take responsibility for his actions!" Miranda pouted.
"That's not true..." Rosa murmured.
"Okay, okay, you win." After saying this, she asked the waiter to serve the dishes.
However, Rosa had already lost her appetite.
Freda's words kept replaying in her mind.
Andy did not break his promise.
That day, he attempted suicide.
It was all because of Henry.
These thoughts kept swirling in her mind.
It made her look worse and worse.
"Rosa... Are you okay?" Miranda noticed that she had not eaten anything and her face got paler by the second.
She was started to get worried.
"It's nothing. It's just... maybe I didn't sleep well last night!" Rosa immediately got rid of the thoughts in her mind.
It was rare for them to have a meal together.
It would've ruined the atmosphere if she left all of a sudden.
"Then eat some," Miranda said in a hurry, "It tastes good."
"Okay!" Rosa forced herself to eat.
Although she was chewing the food in her mouth, she had no idea what it tasted like.
An hour later...
"Ah, I'm so full!" After filling her stomach, Miranda's emotions improved a lot.
Rosa nodded along, looking absent-minded.
Seeing this, Miranda quickly sat down and grabbed her wrist. "Alright, I won't mention Mr. Wright anymore. To be honest, I thought a lot about it last night. I can't judge him just because of that one incident. Anyhow, I won't have any objections if want to try it out with him again. But if he still acts so irresponsible and acts like a jerk then I will be the first one to object it!"
Rosa looked at Miranda, and her eyes suddenly redden with tears.
"Why are you tearing up? It's not like I'm scolding you..."
"No, I'm just... very touched!" Rosa took her hand and said, "Like I said, no matter what happens to you, I will stand on your side. Even if I can't do much, I will do my best." "Haha, look at you, so emotional. I can't stand it!" Miranda joked and rubbed her arms.
Seeing this, Rosa didn't say anything.
She was indeed not a talkative person.
After that, Miranda asked her to go shopping together.
However, Rosa was not in the mood to go shopping at all.
She had no choice but to say that she had to go back to accompany Cecil.
Miranda didn't insist and offered to send her back.
But she insisted on taking a bus, saying it was more convenient.
Miranda couldn't refuse and decided to go out with her other friends instead.
She bought a ticket and got on the bus.
After that, she sat in the last row. The scenery was constantly changing as she looked outside the window of the moving bus.
Her heart was in a mess.
"Ring ring ring" Her phone started ringing.
Rosa picked it up and saw it was from an unknown number.
Then, she answered the call.
"Rosa... it's me!" Andy said in a hoarse voice.
Rosa's body suddenly stiffened.
After a while, he said, "Where are you..."
"Come to that place..."
Rosa didn't say anything.
"Don't be afraid. I'll wait for you at the door. If you don't see me there, you don't have to go in!" Andy sounded a little uncomfortable. He was really afraid that she would refuse. Rosa kept quiet.
She recalled what had happened last time.
Naturally, she also remembered Freda's words.
"Okay, I'll be right there!" She got off at a random station, turned around, and took a taxi.
Soon, she arrived at the place where she had found her first love. The same place where her heart had been shattered.
Andy stood under the tree, wearing a white shirt as usual. He looked exactly the same as before, clean and good looking. Although he was not an attention grabber, he was still considered very attractive.
He had an indescribable artistic temperament.
As a result, the girls who entered the coffee shop bookstore frequently stole a few glances at him.
Rosa approached him step by step.
When Andy saw her coming over, he immediately went up to her.
"Rosa, you're finally here. I thought you weren't coming..." Andy rubbed his hands awkwardly.
Rosa didn't say anything and looked down at his wrist.
There was a maroon watch on his left wrist, which was very big. She had never seen him wear a watch before.
"Let's go in! Although it's already late autumn, it's still very hot outside!"
"Okay." Rosa did not refuse and followed him in.
This time, they did not choose a window seat.
Perhaps, she still had a bit of trauma from the past.
They chose a relatively quiet corner, which was very quiet.
"I thought... thought..." Andy was a little excited and didn't know what to say.
"Why did you come back?" Rosa suddenly asked.
Andy was stunned and looked at her in confusion.
NOW PLAY YOUR
FAVOURITE GAMES ON
"Why did you leave back then?"
She frowned, and her eyes seemed to be very hurt.
Andy's smile froze and he continued, "I... I... missed you..."
He said the last two words in a very low voice.
But she still heard it.
"Rosa, please believe me about what happened last time. I really didn't break my promise. I..."
He didn't know how to explain.
Seeing that he wanted to say something but stopped on second thought, Rosa could not help but stare at his hand. "Your watch is very beautiful. Can you take it off and let me have a look?" Andy was stunned and then nodded. "Okay."
However, when his hand touched the watch, he paused.
"Uh... I have another one that's exactly like this. I'll give it to you. This one had been worn out." Right when he was about to take it off, he stopped.
"But I like the one in your hand. Can't I have a look?"
Andy frowned, put his hand down, took the watch down and said, "Here."
Rosa grabbed the watch as she looked at him hiding his hands under the table. She couldn't help but frown.
At that moment, the waiter brought over two cups of coffee.
"Enjoy."
After that, the waiter left.
Rosa touched the coffee on purpose and slightly spilt some on her hand.
"Ouch..." The temperature of the coffee was still very high, and her hand burnt by the coffee instantly turned red.
"Are you okay?" Andy quickly took out his hand and grabbed her wrist. "Let me see!"
Rosa grabbed his hand. The scars on the part where he wore his watch was very apparent.
In an instant, tears welled in her eyes.
"What happened?"
Andy wanted to withdraw his hand, but she grabbed him tightly. "What happened exactly?"
Andy frowned and said in a calm voice, "I cut my wrist!"
Rosa immediately loosened her grip.
Her voice was choked in between sobs. "Why did you do that?"
Andy chuckled and said, "What else can I do for you? I can't win against him. I can't compete with him. And I can't even protect you. I can only watch as my mother sent you... to his bed. I can't do anything..."
Rosa's tears started falling.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"How could I tell you? Tell you that he threatened my family? Tell you how he wanted me to send you to his bed? Tell you how he sent my family to another place after I attempted suicide?" Andy was furious.
Rosa frowned in disbelief. "How is that possible..."
"Why is it impossible? Rosa, are you dating him?"
He had a bad feeling when he saw how shocked she looked.
Rosa's eyes were full of pain. "No... he wouldn't have..."
"Rosa!" Andy roared, "I love you so much. How could I give you up? It was him who destroyed me. He was the one who destroyed you! He is a devil!"
Rosa bit her lip and looked at Andy blankly.
Her heart was in a mess.
"But this time, I'm no longer afraid of him. My parents are abroad now. He can't reach them. I'm not afraid of anything. Rosa, I won't give you up unless I die!"
Andy said hurriedly in a stern manner.
Rosa's expression was indescribable.
What should she do?
Why did it turn out like this?
For a moment, her mind was buzzing.
"Rosa..."
"Stop talking!" Rosa was in a mess and felt dizzy.
"Rosa..."
"Mr. Wright, I'm not feeling well. I'll head back first."
All of a sudden, so much information flooded into her mind that she couldn't stand it at all.
She needed time to sort these thoughts out.
"Rosa, I love you. You should know that!" Andy grabbed her wrist and said, "I love you so much. Can't you feel it?"
Rosa looked at him and said nothing.
But her eyes were fixed on the scar on his wrist.
"You should know how powerful that man is. He already has a fiancee. If he really likes you, why didn't he announce your existence to the public and make you look like his mistress?"
Andy's tone was too agitated and his words were filled with anger.
Rosa bit her lip, and her tears fell uncontrollably.
She was unable to refute his questions.
"Rosa, he's just playing with you. Can't you see?" He said anxiously.
"Sorry, I'll go first!" Rosa broke free from his hand and ran out in a hurry.
Seeing this, Andy frowned and sat down powerlessly.
Why...
Why did he see pain in her eyes just now?
But that pain didn't seem to be because of him.
It was because of...
That man!
