Jason lowered his head, seeing her looking at him without saying a word. Tears kept falling from her eyes. He knew she must be freaked out,
He felt so regretful. He tried to comfort her, "Don’t worry. I would send you ho."
She didn’t say a word to reply.
At the mont, Scarlet forgot everything that happened just now. All she could feel at the mont was the warmth he gave her.
She was so scared that this was nothing more than a dream. She might break such a beautiful dream with one word, one breath.
Therefore, she didn’t say a word.
Jason kept the key to her house. He opened the door and put her on the sofa. Then he rushed into the bathroom and prepared warm water for her. Then he picked up her body and walked into the bathroom. She was like a doll without the ability to talk to move. All she could do at the mont was to stare at the man in front of her.
"Scarlet?"
Jason kept calling her na. But she didn’t say a word.
He frowned and said a dirty word. When he prepared to call 911,
The woman grabbed the corner of his clothes.
She cried out and asked him in a weak voice, "Am I dreaming? Otherwise, why did I see you again?"
Hearing these words, Jason’s heart trembled.
He imdiately crouched beside the bathtub and grabbed her hands tightly. He moved her hands to his lips, keeping her cold hands.
"It is not a dream. I am here. I am with you. Do you feel uncomfortable? Do you want to call a doctor? Talk to . You freaked out just now."
Jason said like an anxious kid.
"No. I don’t feel uncomfortable. Don’t leave , okay?"
"I won’t leave you. Let help you take a shower."
Jason didn’t expect that he would et with Scarlet again in such a situation.
She got lots of wounds caused by that man. The man even ripped her skin off. Those wounds looked so scary.
Jason wiped her body so carefully;
They fell into silence for a while. No one talked.
After a while, Scarlet asked him.
"If....I am assaulted tonight, what would you think of ?"
Scarlet gathered all courage to ask him this question. When she said these words out, her face turned paler, like a piece of white paper.
Hearing this question, Jason froze for a mont.
What would he think of her?
"I would get married to you."
Jason answered, without any hesitation.
All of a sudden, Scarlet cried out hard. She couldn’t control her tears anymore.
She never expected this answer.
He would get married to her.
"Why?" Scarlet stop crying and asked him.
Hearing this, Jason raised a helpless bitter smile at the corner of his mouth.
"No reason. I love you. I am willing to accept everything about you. So I would get married to you."
Hearing these words. Scarlet didn’t know how to describe her feeling at the mont.
After taking a shower, Jason held her to the bed.
"I need to go. Sleep tight. I would co tomorrow morning."
"Don’t go. Stay with ," Scarlet said in a nervous voice. She still rembered the black figure in the darkness. She still felt so scared at the mont.
Hearing this, Jason nodded. But he didn’t sleep with her.
He took his stuff and went to the living room, sleeping on the sofa.
Scarlet pressed her lips. She didn’t say a word.
Actually, she knew that Jason was waiting for her answer. He was waiting for her, "yes."
He wanted her. But what about her?
Was she willing to get married to him?
If she didn’t tell him, he would not approach her. Though they still loved each other, they didn’t trust each other.
At least Scarlet didn’t trust Jason.
It took Scarlet quite a while to fall asleep. In the middle of the night, Jason entered her room to check whether she was sleeping well.
Her face still looked pale. Her eyelashes were wet. Even her pillows got wet.
He moved hair on her forehead and touched her face gently. Deep in his eyes were his deep love for her, like the ocean.
He tackled the quilt for her and then turned around and left. He couldn’t fall asleep tonight.
Next morning,
When Scarlet got up, she saw lots of food on the table. The man was busy in the kitchen.
When they lived together, Jason would cook for her often. Jason was the man with male chauvinism. He would not cook or wash dishes unless Scarlet stayed with him while he did these.
Therefore, every ti he entered the kitchen, she would follow him. But she didn’t need to do anything. All she needed to do was to eat.
She walked into the kitchen and slt the soy milk, "You made Soy Soya?"
"Soy milk. It would taste better than soy soya. Clean your face and brush your teeth. The breakfast is ready soon."
"Okay."
They talked to each other so naturally, as if they never separated each other, as if nothing ever happened last night.
Both of them pretended nothing happened.
Looking at her face in the mirror, Scarlet thought she looked a little tired today.
Staring at herself in the mirror for a while, she suddenly reminded what Kris said to her.
If she t Jason again, she should refuse him, to make him move on, to make him be able to forget her and get married to Kris.
Did she really want to do this?
She fell into silence. At the mont, she heard Jason’s voice, "Scarlet, have you done? Ti for breakfast."
"Yes, coming soon," Scarlet imdiately answered.
After washing her face, she walked out, seeing two sets of tableware on the table. Everything remained the sa as what it was before as if nothing ever changed.
They didn’t say a word to each other while eating breakfast. The atmosphere was heavy. After having breakfast, Jason said, "I’ve asked several days off for you.
Which ant that they would stay together for a whole day?
Sotis she had to face sothing directly, like her relationship with Jason.
Scarlet pretended to be casual, "Kris found and talked to ."
Hearing this, the man froze for a mont. But he imdiately returned to normal. He continued to wash dishes and said, "What did she tell you?"
"She said you were going to get married to her. She wanted to refuse you if you co to find . Then you can go back to get married to her."
"Yes. Indeed. If you refuse again, I will go back to get married to her. Is this what you want?"
Jason laughed at himself, fixing his beautiful eyes on Scarlet, asking her word by word.
He ca to her with sincerity, seeing her now, unexplainable pain ca in as if she was randomly inserted the sharp knife on his heart.
Even though he knew what she would do to him, he still did this kind of thing.
Scarlet looked at him. Jason was also looking at her.
While they were looking at each other, the air beca heavy around them.
Scarlet pressed her lips and said, "Well. Yes. This is what I want."
"Why? Why do you refuse over and over again?" Jason finally asked her this question.
