Chapter 104 Her Refusal
When she was in grade three in the junior high school, Caroline said in that summer, "Bentley, be my boyfriend. You can protect and take care of me."
The boy in a white shirt turned to look at her with a pair clear eyes, saying nothing. He turned and left, so she caught up and grasped his palm from behind. "Why didn't you answer me? I'm a good person, not a trouble maker."
Caroline still remembered his answer.
He said, "It's not because you are not good, but you are not for me." Then he turned and walked to the school gate hand in hand with her.
Caroline remembered that she glanced at their hands. What was she thinking at that time?
She remembered. She was thinking, "Bentley, if I am not the right person for you, why don't you let go of my hand?"
She took his arm warmly from behind and said with an unashamed smile, "Bentley, I'm the only person in the world who can be your girlfriend."
"Caroline? Caroline?" Antonio felt a little disgruntled at her absence of mind. A trace of loss flashed in his eyes. In her heart, it seemed that there was another man who appeared in her life earlier than him.
But the next second, the brilliance in his eyes came back again. He covered her hands in his palms.
"Try to accept me. Believe me, I won't make you cry."
Caroline's shoulders trembled for a moment, with a trace of yearning glittering in her eyes. When she looked up, she saw Antonio's sincere face again. She suddenly felt that her palms were burning. She shook off Antonio's hands and put her hands behind her back. The next second, she quickly took a few steps back and kept a distance from Antonio, looking at him with her black eyes.
"Say something. Caroline, don't escape."
He approached, and Caroline stepped back.
Antonio's eyes glittered with emotion. He tried to get closer to her again.
Caroline still backed up.
Antonio couldn't bear it. He stretched out a long arm to grasp Caroline and immediately wrapped his arms around her waist in front of his chest. "Caroline, stop walking away from me. I won't give you this opportunity to escape."
She didn't escape. As Bentley said in those days, there was no need to get away from the person who was not the right one.
All of a sudden, Caroline realized that the reason why Bentley didn't shake off her hand was that she was not the right one for him, so it was superfluous to let go of her hand.
It turned out all her efforts and behaviors over the years were in vain.
Antonio frowned and looked at Caroline. She had been in a daze for the third time today.
Feeling upset, Antonio bent down and kissed her quickly on her lips.
"It's Bentley, isn't it?"
He asked suddenly.
Caroline gave a shudder.
Antonio smiled wryly. "Caroline, forget him. The memory about him must be distressing."
Caroline looked up and asked, "How can you be sure the memory is painful?"
Antonio stared at the woman in his arms. She might not know the expression on her face at the moment was hostile. He smiled. It didn't matter. He would let her forget Bentley.
"Do you have happy reminiscences? Why do I only see despair from your face?"
Caroline was silent and didn't reply.
"Caroline, just give it a shot. Even if you don't agree to be my girlfriend now, you should give yourself a chance to accept and embrace happiness.
You can't live in memory, in the past, and in your own little world forever. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Caroline, forget him. No matter what kind of memories and past you have, I firmly believe that those unhappy things will be replaced by the happiness between you and me."
For a moment, Caroline's heart was shaken. Who could refuse happiness? She was also bewitched by the beautiful word.
She was just about to say "yes", and she suddenly woke up. "No."
Everyone yearned for happiness.
Did she deserve it?
Did she still deserve what everybody wanted?
"Caroline?" Antonio gently called Caroline's name in disbelief. "Why?"
Why didn't she even give him a chance?
"Is Bentley so important in your heart?"
He looked at the woman in front of him.
Caroline hung her head and looked at her toes. Antonio, did you really know who I was?
Looking at the woman standing in front of you at the moment, did you really understand that was she a living person who really lived under the sun in the world, or was she just a dead-alive person possessing an alive body but a broken soul?
Did you really know who I was, what I had done and what I had borne?
Did you really think I could still obtain happiness?
"I'm sorry."
Antonio felt disappointed, and he bent down to kiss Caroline on her pale lips.
Caroline didn't run away and resist.
After a kiss, Antonio looked up. "You didn't refuse." Caroline was afraid to look directly into the seriousness and stubbornness in his eyes.
Lowering her eyes to cover the emotion, Caroline said warmly, "Mr. Tucker, did you forget what my job is? Although I have been in the business for a short time, I also know the principle of customer first. I haven't heard of any woman refusing to make out with customers. Mr. Tucker, have you heard of it?"
Antonio paused.
He retorted, "You just came from there. Why did you look at me with such affectionate eyes?"
Caroline, will a woman look at clients in such an loving manner? "
Caroline raised her eyelids and took a serious look at Antonio. Her concentration condensed with something indescribable in this glance by which Antonio was moved. Moreover, his heartbeat quickened.
He also lowered his head and looked at the woman in his arms attentively, as if waiting for her answer.
After a long time, Caroline sighed and looked at Antonio.
"That year, my beloved boy in a white shirt stood under a banyan tree. From then on, I fell in love with white shirts.
Today, you just wore a white shirt and stood under the banyan tree, which brought back my memories . "
Accordingly, everything had nothing to do with you.
A trace of loneliness flashed on Antonio's handsome face. In the blink of an eye, he smiled as usual with his eyes glittering. He held Caroline in his arms closer and tighter, bowing his head to give her another kiss on her lips.
"You can treat me as a client, Caroline."
