Was it because of the influence of her parents on her? But itās been such a long time. It should come to an end.
Didnāt he do enough for her?
What could make her accept his love and get married to him?
Sometimes, marriage was nothing more than a piece of paper.
A piece of contract.
When he proposed to her sincerely, she refused him directly.
But he wanted to introduce her as her husband rather than her boyfriend.
What he really wanted was for her to get married to him. He couldnāt understand why she was worried about it.
Hearing his question, Scarlet laughed out and said, "Okay. I can tell you the truth. What you saw last night really happened to me before. Satisfied? That was my nightmare."
Hearing these words,
Jason immediately fell into silence. He was fixing his black eyes on her little face. He was so shocked.
These words were like a clap of thunder exploding in his brain. It took him quite a while to reflect.
Scarlet looked at him stubbornly. As the scar was uncovered, she felt deeply painful. She felt so hard to take a breath.
"Therefore, I would not get married to you. I would not get married to anyone. Understand? Jason, you know what kind of girl I am. Once I make the decision, no one could change my mind. You can say Iāve been lying to you all these years. You can also say Iāve been playing you all these years. We should end our relationship now. Thank you for saving me last night. I bless you and Kris to have a happy life."
"Okay. Thank you for your blessing."
Jason held his fist tightly. He raised a ridiculing smile at the corner of his mouth and said,
"So it was you that was the problem in our relationship, rather than me. Before you told me this, I thought I was the problem. I always complained that I am not good enough to solve your fear. Okay. I finally know what I should do now.
He put on his coat and turned around, leaving.
Scarlet stood there still, looking at his back disappearing.
She wanted to stop him. But she kept pressing her lips. She held all words back.
She wanted to cry out.
But she couldnāt make any voice.
When Jason went downstairs, he saw Kris leaning against the wall of the stairs corridor. Seeing Jason, she knew he lost the bet.
She walked to the western restaurant in the corner without saying a word.
Then, she ordered the bitterest coffee for Jason. She knew the coffee would be the best for him at the moment.
Actually, Kris already found him. She lied to Scarlet because she made a bet with Jason.
If Scarlet refused him again, he needed to forget Scarlet and returned back to England with her. But that didnāt mean that he would get married to her.
Now he had all control over his marriage. No one could threaten him.
He didnāt go back for a whole night. Kris immediately knew he must be Scarletās house. Therefore, she came here, waiting for him.
"You lost." Kris took a sip of the sweet Cappuccino, filling her mouth with sweetness.
Jason didnāt deny it. He nodded, "Yes. I lost, as usual. Perhaps Iāve dumped too many girls before. The god wanted to punish me."
"So, do you want to go back to England with me?"
"Sorry," Jason said.
Hearing this answer, Kris didnāt look surprised or angry for breaking his words. She took out a ticket.
"Ten oāclock tomorrow. Want to see me off?"
"Of course."
Jason really appreciated Krisās forgiveness. He knew her feelings for him. But heās fallen in love with a girl. He could not fall in love with another one anymore.
He drove Kris to the airport and took the ticket half an hour in advance. Then they walked into the terminal.
Before Kris walked into the terminal, she held Jason in arms tightly and said, "I would be waiting for you in England. If she refused you again, come to find me. I want you."
"I would not go back. If I really go back, I would go back with her."
He made Kris give up with several words directly.
Hearing these words, Kris laughed out. The man used to be the playboy. He could make any jokes in front of her.
He didnāt even know what seriousness meant before.
But, Scarlet was the exception for him. He took her so seriously because heās removed her from his target listing.
Scarlet never expected anything from Jason. Even their parents kept helping them move forwards, and Scarlet knew they couldnāt get married. Their relationship would end nowhere because he didnāt love her.
Sometimes, she wished he could lie to her. No matter how low the lie was, she was willing to believe it.
Because in love, all women were stupid and innocent. They would believe every word of men. They were willing to do so.
However, he never lied to her. He kept killing her fantasy.
Sometimes, it looked like he loved her deeply. Sometimes, it looked like he never loved her.
Kris wiped the tears at the corner of her eyes. She didnāt want to see her embarrassment.
She padded on his shoulder and said, "Time to go. Goodbye."
"Take care. Call me when you arrive."
"No," Kris stepped backward and smiled, "Jason, we couldnāt be lovers. I donāt want to be friends with you. So, thatās it."
"..."
Hearing these words, Jason felt into silence for a while and showed a charming smile, "Okay, if you like so. So we are just strangers now."
Hearing these words, Kris felt she was about to drown by the sorrow at the bottom of her heart.
Actually, she wished he could say he didnāt agree with this.
But he smiled and said okay.
Men knew women. But not all men knew you. Only the man that loved you knew you. As for men, those didnāt love you, they would never get your point.
Kris forced a smile and said, "Okay. We are strangers now. Goodbye"
"Take care," he waved his hands and smiled.
At the moment, she turned around, tears poured down from her eyes, wetting her gorgeous face.
Jason was not as bad as a friend. He didnāt look away until Krisās back disappeared from his vision.
He really appreciated Krisās support and tolerance. It was reasonable for her to say those words.
Different people had different stories of love.
She didnāt want to get married. Jason could accept that.
He would get everything she wanted.
