When the roller coaster went down, I was so terrified that I closed my eyes. At that moment, I could only hear the sound of the howling wind, a shrill scream, and Christopher’s voice.
“Eve, let’s scream to vent out your sadness and frustration. Then you will feel happy.”
“Really?”
“Yes. Have I ever lied to you?” said Christopher firmly.
When I parted my lips, a gust of wind blew into my mouth as if it was trying to knock me down and stop me from screaming. However, I stubbornly screamed, “Ahhhh!”
“Say I’m the king of the world!”
Usually, I wouldn’t say this kind of thing. But now, I have been conquered by Christopher, and I felt happy. Hence, I shouted loudly, “I’m the king of the world! I’m the king of the world!”
“Again!”
“I’m the king of the world!”
“I want to conquer the world! I want to be the master of my own life!”
“I want to be the master of my own life! I’m the king of the world!” I screamed.
At the same time, I spread my arms open to release all the suppressed emotions I had been feeling these days. My feelings, much like the roller coaster, went up and down. I laughed, I cried.
I was in the dark a second ago, then I saw a ray of light the next moment. It was so bright that it brightened my life.
When the roller coaster stopped, I was still overwhelmed by emotions. Everyone looked at me with confused looks. Christopher reached out to wipe away the tears from my face and asked gently, “Why are you crying again? Do you know that my heart aches when I see you cry?”
I sniffled. “Because I’m happy.”
“So you cry when you are happy?”
“No, these are tears of joy! I’m happy to have you with me.” I pounded his chest coquettishly. Then, he grabbed my hand and locked his brooding eyes on me as he said in a sincere tone, “I hope that you will never cry in the future.”
Facing the sunset, I stared at him and blurted out, “Christopher, I think I have fallen in love with you. What should I do?”
“Then love me even more.”
After that, I decided to go to the apartment to pack up my things, but I did not let Christopher come along. At that, he looked at me with a conflicted expression on his face because he was worried about me. “Tell me if you face any difficulties, okay?”
“Okay!” I had fallen in love with this man’s gentleness at that time, and I would believe everything that he said.
When I was about to get out of the car, he pulled me back. After kissing me heartily, he let go of me and sighed. “It seems like I still have to work harder.”
“Work harder?” I didn’t know what he meant.
“You can go now.” He didn’t elaborate any further but patted my head. After that, I held his hand and rubbed my face against his palms.
I had made up my mind—there was no way I would come back to this apartment again no matter what. Back at the apartment, I packed all my stuff up and didn’t touch anything else because those things did not belong to me.
Lyle bought those accessories and ornaments after moving in. It seemed like he was preparing to live with me, but actually, that was just his way of asking me to take the blame for Crystal.
I left without having a sense of melancholy because they weren’t worth it. After that, I went back to my house. I had sweet dreams through the night.
The next morning, I woke up feeling refreshed. I had a good complexion. Hence, a light makeup would do the job. After changing into a fresh set of clothes, I stood in front of the mirror.
I found that I looked quite shabby wearing old-fashioned sportswear and had my hair up in a ponytail. Hence, I took out a beautiful dress and wore a cardigan over it, and put on some makeup before leaving for work.
Initially, I thought my colleagues would spread rumors about me because few of them had realized my identity the day before. However, I never expected that no one had brought up the matter, and they even treated me better now.
