Chapter 100: Are You Trying To Let Us Break Up?
Their car drove into the downtown area. When the red traffic light was on, Charles stopped the car and stared at the traffic light. Arianna untied the seat belt, opened the door, and left the car without making a sound. Charles called her, and she did not look back.
At this time, it was the busiest time the traffic. A traffic police officer pointed his middle finger at her. Arianna smiled at him and turned, and walked into the underground passage.
Arianna didn’t expect her first, and maybe the last break-up with Charles was because of Travis. She didn’t want to recall the medical term that provoked her. She just wandered in the underground mall for a long time.
Arianna did not expect Charles to come to find her, and even if he did, he would fail because of the bad traffic jam.
Arianna bought a few knock-off items that wouldn’t work at all. She bought a few exposed and glamorous clothes that she wouldn’t wear and put them in a very exaggerated large bag. When she hung the bag on her back, she took a look in the mirror. She looked like a snail, and that bag looked like her shell.
Then Arianna returned to the commercial street on the ground and found the new barbershop that had recently advertised a lot. Arianna did not wear long hair anymore since she cut her hair short. Unexpectedly when the hair work was being carried out, Arianna found Susan sitting on the chair next to her. And Susan said to the barber, “I want my hairstyle the same as this lady.”
The young barber’s eyes were wide open. Arianna’s hair was a mess at this time, there was no way to see her hairstyle. And their faces had entirely different shapes. At the barber’s strong advice, Susan finally changed her demand and asked only to fix her hair slightly.
On their opposite was a large mirror hung on the entire wall. They could see each other in the mirror.
Susan smiled and said gratefully, “We are really connected somehow. Now, we have met again.”Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Arianna tried to squeeze a smile at Susan and said, “Yeah, what a coincidence.”
Susan finished her haircut quicker, and she waited for Arianna to finish. When they were all done, Susan grabbed Arianna, and they left and headed for a restaurant.
In a quiet box, Arianna tried to be as calm as possible.
“Do you think that I am like a ghost?” Susan smiled very comfortably.
“What do you want from me? Please just let me go, okay?”
Susan smiled, “I like to see people suffer. Now, do you know why?”
Arianna said helplessly, “I admit that you have a reason to hate me. But don’t you think that I am innocent? If you have a grudge against Charles, you should go find him to settle it; if you have a misunderstanding with your husband, you should talk to him. I have no way to solve any problem for you. What do you want from me?”
Susan giggled, “Oh, of course, you are innocent. You are just the current fiancée of my former boyfriend and my husband’s former lover and still the object for his spiritual derailment.”
Arianna shut up. She could not think of anything to say.
Susan sighed, “You are really an innocent child. It would help if you refuted me by saying I am the former girlfriend of your fiancé and the current wife of your former lover. And that makes us twins.”
Arianna couldn’t help but raise her voice and say, “I wasn’t a lover of your husband!”
Susan laughed out loud with a pale face. Arianna could not really get angry because she knew Susan was a patient.
A waiter came and delivered two cups of soup to them. Arianna tested the temperature and drank it. Susan said with the expression of a drama queen, “You are not afraid that I could’ve put poison in it?”
“If you wanted to, why do you wait till now?”
“It’s hard to say. I don’t like it when others live more happily than I do. You used to be so poor that I would not gain any sense of accomplishment to hurt you. But now, you look proud and poised. You should watch out now.” Susan took a sip of the soup and then sighed, “Although the same ingredients and practices, this soup is no longer the good old one.”
Susan continued to explain, “Do you remember we were here last time when I drank the soup? The female owner was a great soup maker, but no more.”
Arianna suddenly realized she was abducted to this place by Susan’s men last time.
Seeing Susan’s face revealing a trace of sadness, Arianna habitually asked, “What happened to the shop owner?”
“She passed away last month from cancer. That day, it was her last time cooking by herself. Hey, some opportunities just don’t knock twice.”
Arianna’s anger turned into sympathy. She said softly to Susan, “I should’ve thanked you. You helped me a lot. You are a good person. You deserve a nice life.”
Susan asked, “Good person? Are you being sarcastic? The greatest pleasure in my life is to do bad things. I always tell wives when I know their husbands got a new lover, and I always warn girls to stay away from men who are good with lies. See? I always make things harder for people. And I always bite those who provoke me.”
Arianna had difficulty communicating with Susan, so she stood up and said, “Thank you for the soup and story. If you excuse me, I still have something to do.”
Susan smiled, “A beautiful young woman like you walking alone outside at this late time could be dangerous. Is your fiancé coming to pick you up? Oh, you were originally together, but why did you leave him alone?”
Arianna said, “Are you trying to let us break up? So, what even if we break up? Both he and I could just live on alone.”
Susan smirked, “Just because Charles is handsome and from a wealthy family, you can ignore the fact that he could even use you like a chip?”
Arianna hadn’t officially broken up with Charles, so she had to say, “A different person looking from a different perspective can have a totally different opinion. He is good to me. And all I ask is someone who can offer me a stable future. Everyone has the right to choose their lifestyle, right?”
