His Real Wedded Bride

Chapter 1346 Still Caring About Her

With hundreds of thoughts running down her mind, Holley took out her cell phone from her bag and

logged in her WeChat account absent-mindedly. Looking at Black's profile picture, she was lost in

thoughts while unconsciously rubbing the screen with her finger. She was half-minded as to whether

she would send him a message or not.

However, she thought that if Black still cared for her, her plan would work. With all her hopes high, she

was carefully thinking about her plan of action, though her mind was a bit preoccupied at the moment.

Pushing through with her plan, she opened the chatting window and typed words intermittently, but

didn't send them out yet. For a moment, she paused and wondered if Black was making love with the

woman who had been in his arms.

The thought made her shiver in annoyance. However, no matter what it would take, she wanted to bet

that Black still cared for her and wanted her back.

Though she wasn't sure about her assumption, in Black's point of view, she didn't guess wrong.

In his apartment, Black was lying in the bed, tossing and turning while cuddling a pillow on the side of

his bed. He was not in the least sleepy and Holley's face constantly flashed in his mind and the look on

her face as she saw him intertwine with another woman. He didn't want to admit that he couldn't forget

Holley, but that was the case right now.

Thinking about how foolish he was, Black smiled bitterly. In one way or another, Holley had been

special to him and he felt comfortable and at peace whenever he was with her. Admitting it all, he must

say he had loved that woman whether he liked it or not. How ironic! Although it was Holley who had

betrayed him first, he didn't want even to pretend to be intimate with other women. Though he had

been used to playing with women before, yet this time he couldn't understand why he felt guilty in some

way. When he was kissing that woman, Holley's angelic face kept flashing on his mind as if reminding

him to stop what he was doing. Black was totally in a daze at this moment.

Thus, to shut all these thoughts out of his mind, he picked up his cell phone and looked for something

that would entertain him as he wanted to have some fun. But unconsciously, he opened the chatting

record between Holley and him. The sweet moments in the past were still vivid in his mind, but now,

they were more like a huge irony to him.

Before today, Black had always been frequently checking his cell phone, for fear of missing any of

Holley's messages. He was like a lad fallen deeply in love—even a casual reply from her would have

made him blush with excitement.

Reading through the messages, he pulled himself back to reality and was about to exit the chatting

interface with Holley, but suddenly found the prompt displaying "Holley is typing..." At the sight of the

prompt, his heart thumped faster. He wondered what could she be sending him this time. Would she

apologize? Black went excited and puzzled at the same time.

He waited patiently not taking his eyes away from the phone screen. However, after a few minutes, he

still hadn't received any message from Holley though the chatting interface still showing that "Holley is

typing..."

What did she want to say to him? Was it that long that up to now she wasn't able to send it out? Or was

she still thinking about what else to say? Was there anything to say between them after all? Maybe the

chatting app was just broken, or the connection was just poor. With these questions in mind, Black

thought angrily and opted to just turn his phone off.

But he couldn't shift his eyes away from the screen, nor did he dare to turn it off. He was just so curious

to know what Holley was about to say.

At the bar

Around Holley, some people were walking up and down the stage while some were hailing in

excitement. But none of these could impact Holley's mood. She felt the world seem to be quite and

time seem to stand still. She was immersed in her world and just kept her silence while looking very

lonely.

Amidst the loud music and the dim dancing lights, she looked at the colorful cocktail in front of her with

eyes that were dull and blank.

Although she was already very drunk and she already looked wasted, she managed to stay conscious

and she still remembered what she would do tonight. Holley had a surprisingly admiring sense of self-

control.

Under the impact of the alcohol, her hands trembled slightly as she raised her cell phone and took a

selfie. In the photo, she looked a little drunk and her narrowed eyes were innocent and charming.

Behind her was the dim dancing floor, swarming with maniac looking men ready to devour any innocent

drunk girl if they were given the chance.

With the photo captured perfectly as she desired, she typed for quite a while before editing the content

she would post in her WeChat Moments.

The caption said, "The man I love deeply misunderstood me. My heart aches so hard that I can't

breathe. I just want to get drunk at the Blue Shadow Bar. But why so many nasty men come to me and

harass me? I just want to stay quiet and enjoy the moment alone."

Holley repeatedly checked the fussy and sentimental words and confirmed everything was okay before

releasing the message and the photo in her WeChat Moments.

With a triumphant smile on her face, her eyes sparkled after the message and the photo had been Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

sent. She felt relieved and then continued to drink the cocktail in front of her.

After waiting for a long time, Black didn't receive any message from Holley, so he gave up and exited

the chatting interface. He felt a little boring, so he began to browse his WeChat Moments

absentmindedly. Suddenly, he was attracted by a post. The post was from Holley this time. He knitted

his eyebrows as he examined the photo and the caption along with it.

Black's heart ached at the words. He felt responsible for Holley's misery right now. He hoped that he

was the beloved one Holley was referring in her post and what he had seen between earlier when she

was with Charles was just a misunderstanding.

But if that was the case, Holley wouldn't have made him feel so humiliated and sad over and over

again. She could have done something to explain what happened to her and make things up with him

eventually.

Confused even more this time, Black continued to read the words carefully. He felt heartbroken when

he found that Holley got drunk at the bar. He couldn't help but click open her photo. In the photo,

Holley's face was pink and her eyes narrowed slightly which looked so charming.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes widely, as if he had seen something astonishing. He jerked himself out

of the bed and stood still facing the window.

With shivering hands, he enlarged the photo. Holley was still as beautiful as usual. However, he saw in

the picture that a man was staring at her from behind. In his eyes, Black saw acquisitiveness and

determination, which were both too familiar to him.

Black's heart sank at the sight of it. He wanted to put down his cell phone and pretend that he had

never read the post and seen the photo. With several thoughts running down his mind, he still felt

confused about their relationship. If they had already broken up, he shouldn't worry about her. Or if it

was the other way around, if she still loved him, she wouldn't dare do such reckless actions knowing

that he would be mad at her.

However, he couldn't stop worrying about her. Within a second, he couldn't stand it any longer, so he

put his coat on in a hurry and soon disappeared into the darkness.

Minutes later, Black arrived at Blue Shadow Bar at an incredible speed.

Outside the bar, he raised his head and looked at the name of the bar before striding into it. The

moment he entered, he scanned the area with keen eyes looking for Holley.

Anxiously, he walked straight to the bar counter and looked around, searching for Holley. After a while,

he found her slumped and a bit unconscious at the far end of the counter.

From the way she drooped at the bar, Black could tell that Holley was too drunk and had been

unconscious for some time. She lay her head on the counter, eyes closed.

Just then, Black saw a man come to Holley and sit beside her. He stared at her with lustful eyes and

was about to touch her.

Seeing that, Black narrowed his eyes and looked at that man furiously.

It was as if a bomb had exploded in his head. Black couldn't control his anger anymore. He rushed

toward the drunk man and gave him a heave kick. The man was knocked to the floor surprised as to

where the kick came from.

Still feeling angry, he crouched and punched the man hard in the chest with his fist not minding the

crowd gathering around them.

The man curled up like a shrimp, moaning in pain. He wanted to beg Black to let him go. However, he

couldn't utter a single word at all.

While he was wondering why he had been beaten up, he saw Black step over him and look over to

Holley. The moment Black held Holley in his arms gently, the drunk man knew the reason. He regretted

being blind and attempting to harass the woman.

Carrying her in his arms right now, Black looked at Holley. She looked rather calm now and was so

charming with her scarlet cheeks. Feeling her warmth while carrying her close to his heart, Black was

occupied by her again. When he gently held Holley up and was about to walk her out of the bar, he

heard her mumbling his name.

Thinking Holley was awake, he unconsciously looked at her. However, Holley still closed her eyes

firmly and there was no sign for her to sober. She frowned, looking as if she was very uncomfortable,

and she repeated muttering his name.

Overwhelmed by his affection towards her, Black couldn't stay calm anymore. His heart trembled as if a

warm current welled up in his heart and softened him.
