Chapter 90
"Chelsea, you're the most boring woman I have ever met."
His voice is soft. If he hadn't called my name, I might have thought he was talking about someone else.
I look up at him, and my eyes are full of tears.
I can't see his face clearly, which makes me braver.
"Yes, so congratulations. This boring woman is leaving." I give a bitter smile.
He caresses my cheek. I want to dodge but he stops me. I'm really annoyed. 'Didn't he say
I was boring? Why is he touching my face now?'
"Harrison, I'm tired. I don't want to play this boring, time-wasting game." NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
"What do you want?"
"I want to get married and have a child..." Before I finish my words, he gagged me.
He touches me and turns me on.
Before he penetrates me, I heard him whisper in my ear, "I can give you anything except marriage."
And then follows the intense sex. I'm like a piece of driftwood in the sea, and he is all I have.
When everything returns to calm, I close my eyes gently as if I were asleep. His hand is on my back, patting me from time to time, as if he were coaxing a child.
I've never been more at peace. I won't be afraid of losing him because I never got him.
After an unknown period of time, he slowly gets up from beside me. I can feel that he's still looking at me. After making sure he's gone, I open my eyes.
I stare at the chandelier on the ceiling. It's white without any decoration. It's very much Harrison's style.
As I look at the ceiling, I fall asleep. When I open my eyes, it is dark. I get up and go to the living room in a daze.
"You're awake?" he asks.
He doesn't seem embarrassed at all, as if nothing had happened. I bite my lip, and then reply with a smile, "I can't believe I'd been asleep this long. I should take off."
"No. Come with me to a place later."
He makes me confused. I thought he no longer wanted to have anything to do with me. Wasn't he using sex to shut me up just to
keep me out of his life?
I look at him and ask, "To do what?"
"To attend my friend's party. I need a date and you seem to be the only woman around me." After that, he smiles.
"All right."
I agreed without hesitation.
He said I was the only woman around him, and that made me very happy. I don't care if he was lying.
He said I could wear casual clothes to the party. I feel relived. I really hate wearing evening gowns because they aren't made for me.
And it's easy for me to fall over when I'm walking in a evening gown.
Opening the door of the private room, I see three familiar people: Sienna, Jonah, and Abbie.
Sienna, of course, is excited when she sees me. Jonah sits calmly beside her and nods to me. But when Abbie sees me, she just turns her head to one side and ignores me.
There're still two empty seats, and Abbie sits between them. I wonder whether she did this on purpose. She knew that I would come with Harrison, so she separated us in this way.
It's a dirty trick, but it works.
"Would you mind changing seats so they can sit together?" Sienna asks Abbie.
Originally, I wanted to see what Harrison would do with it. After all, it's his friend's party, and I can't pick a fight with Abbie. I'm not afraid of her. I just don't care about her.
But Sienna's words kind of ruined my plan.
Abbie replies with no expression, "Why should I? It's my seat."
"Well," Sienna did not see that coming, so she explains, "I mean, they're a couple and they need to sit together. You don't want to be the third wheel, do you?"
"They're a couple? Can't you see they don't match at all? That b*tch shamelessly seduced him." Abbie becomes excited.
"What's wrong with you? Are you jealous?"
Abbie looks at her with gritted teeth. "How dare you!"
"I was right, wasn't I? You're jealous because Chelsea has a boyfriend and you're single. You're pathetic!" Sienna chatters non-stop.
I'm lost for words. Sienna's always been nice to me, and she hates it when people bully me. There're about a dozen people in the room. They all watch their quarrel in silence.
Perhaps it's a joke in their eyes. Quarrels between women are always meaningless in the eyes of men.
I can only pin my hopes on Harrison and hope that he will stop it. But before Harrison says anything, Jonah stood up.
He stands in front of Sienna and says to Abbie, "Knock it off."
"You took her side?" Abbie asks in disbelief.
"Harrison's already brought her here. Don't you understand what that means? Don't be silly!"
Abbie, who has always been domineering, points her finger at me and asks Jonah loudly, "Don't you know she stays with Harrison for money? Isn't Harrison your friend? How can you stand by and watch your friend hook up with a b*tch?l"
"What are you saying?" Sienna rushes to Abbie with anger.
"The woman standing at the door is a b*tch. You're her friend, so you won't get any better," Abbie says sarcastically.
"You!" Sienna is furious.
So is Jonah. He looks at Abbie with rage.
It's a mess. I'm involved, but I feel like an outsider.
