Barret rubbed his brow and felt particularly confused and panicked in his heart right now.
Especially when he saw Jenny in tears, he felt very uncomfortable.
But soon, he forced himself to forget about that feeling.
When he looked at Jenny again, his gaze became very sharp, and his voice was indifferent. “It’s my fault.
today, but Laura wouldn’t call me for no reason, especially at this late hour, she must have something important.”
“Jenny, I’m sorry, I have to take this call now.”
Jenny smiled.
It turned out that every time she persisted was to show her that there was no point in persisting.
She blinked, suddenly feeling that the man in front of her was a total stranger.
“Barret Smith, you have to answer it, don’t you?”
She suddenly calmed her voice down, no longer with the hysteria.
Looking at her, Barret finally spitted out one word. “Right.”
The expected answer.
For some reason, hearing this word, Jenny became calmer and calmer.
She stretched out and took out the phone hidden behind her.
Then, holding it in both hands, she respectfully handed it to Barret.
Looking at her like this, Barret felt very uncomfortable in his heart.
He gently squeezed her fingers and comforted her. “Jenny, don’t be like this, I’m just answering a phone
call.”
“Is that so?” Jenny replied indifferently, not saying another word.
She lowered her eyes and rolled herself under the covers, then reached out and turned off the lights in the room, leaving only a
faint glow from a pale-yellow wall lamp to keep the room from getting too dark.
Two minutes later, Barret returned from his phone call.
Jenny’s whole body was almost under the covers, with only a small part of her head showing.
Barret hesitated for a few moments, looked at her and spoke, “Laura’s car, it broke down on the hillside, I’ll
go
and pick her up now, and I’ll be right back.”
Jenny blinked and did not say anything.
Barret leaned over to the bed, used his long thin fingers to ruffle the hair on her forehead, and then lowered his head, ready to
drop a kiss on her forehead.
Barret’s hand, suddenly, stiffened awkwardly in mid-air.
He withdrew his hand and promised in a low voice. “I’ll go for a while, I’ll definitely come back tonight.”
With that, he changed his clothes, opened the door, and prepared to go out.
Suddenly, Jenny’s voice came from the darkness. “Barret Smith, you made such a big promise, have you ever thought about
what if you can’t come back tonight? Wouldn’t it be too ironic?”
“I will definitely come back tonight,” Barret said with certainty.
“Is that so?” Jenny smiled.
“But your promises are no longer worth anything to me, they’re all like poorly written lies.”
She had been naive too, foolishly believing what he said, but what had happened? Instead of his gratitude and guilt, what she
got was lies after lies from him again and again.
“Jenny,” Barret called out her name, and from the tone of his voice, one could obviously tell that he was
already angry.
“Do you want me to count them out for you one by one?”
Jenny painfully recalled the one lie that had hurt her so much.
“That night, you answered a phone call and when I asked you what was wrong, you said it was fine. But as soon as I fell asleep,
you got up and left and didn’t return all night. Barret Smith, you always thought I didn’t know, didn’t you? In fact, I knew all about
it, I didn’t fall asleep at all that night, and I didn’t say anything, just that I didn’t care to expose you.”
“And now, you said you were just taking a phone call, but in less than five minutes it turned into going out to pick her up.”
“You said that you’d be back tonight? Do you think you’d believe that if you were me?”
Jenny’s voice was so calm.
So calm that she even felt that what she was saying now was not her business.
“Barret, I might be a bit naive, not one of those particularly smart people. But it’s just a bit naive, I’m not
stupid.”
“Just how heartless do you have to be to hurt me like this over and over again?”
“You go away!”
When she said these three words, she suddenly felt relieved.
Barret suddenly turned back around and flung himself onto the bed to hold Jenny tightly in his arms. “I’m sorry, Jenny, I didn’t
know that I had done so many things that hurt you before.”
“I promise, I will be back tonight, rain or shine.”
After saying that, Barret left.
The room suddenly became so empty.
Jenny wrapped the quilt tightly and closed her eyes.
It’s just that in the past, she couldn’t let go of her heart and every time she would subconsciously tell herself that she would only
be able to be sound asleep with Barret sleeping next to her.
But in fact, all habits can be changed.
One day, she would be able to quit all the habits of Barret Smith.
When she woke up in the morning, she found herself alone in the room.
She just had a glance at the spot next to her, probably because she had never had any hopes, she was not disappointed.
However, when folding the quilt, she felt that the quilt on the other side was surprisingly warm.
She stretched out her hand and touched the spot next to her again, finding it was also hot.
Had he come back?
But she didn’t care anymore.
When she came to the dining room, there was an exquisite breakfast on the table.
There was a great variety, and they were all tiny portions.
Shrimp dumplings, sandwiches, buttered bread......
They were all Jenny’s favourites.
When she saw Barret walking out of the kitchen with a dark grey apron, she was very surprised.
She thought it was takeout, but she didn’t expect Barret had made it all by himself.
Taking off his apron, Barret brought several dishes to her.
“Thank you!” Jenny said gently.
Hearing this word, Barret was stunned for a moment.
Thank you?
She was saying thank you to him.
Throughout breakfast, no one spoke again, and it was very quiet.
When breakfast was finally over, Jenny was just about to get up when Barret looked at her and spoke, “Carey said you have an
interview to attend today, I’ll wait for you outside.”
“It’s not necessary.”
Jenny didn’t even think about it, and she just simply refused.
“Isn’t it at the First Hospital? I can drop you there.” Barret said.
“It’s there, but the written test is in the afternoon, I’ll go there myself in the afternoon,” Jenny said.
“That’s fine.”
After saying that, Barret left on his own.
When he sat in the car, he immediately gave Carey a call. “What time is Jenny’s interview?”
“Nine o’clock in the morning.”
“Are you sure?” Barret’s voice abruptly turned sharp.
“Yes, I’m sure, Mrs. Smith booked with me for eight in the morning last time.”
He was not wrong.
Jenny had really lied to him.
Did she hate him that much? So much that she didn’t even want to sit in the same car with him?
