Chapter 303
A tall black shadow flashed past.
Christina stood up and tried her best to catch up, but she failed.
From that strange Barbara, she met at noon, and the two baby carriages that suddenly appeared and disappeared, to this strange shadow ran away in front of her, everything seemed to be weird today.
Christina was tense and annoyed.
After wandering around the square for about two hours, her face was a little cold from the chilly wind, and her slender fingers turned red.She decided to go home.
Sure enough, she shouldn't have come out alone to embarrass herself on Christmas Eve.
The more she found others’ joyous reunion, the more miserable she felt for herself.
"Miss, would you like a rose?"
Christina was walking away with an ashen face.
But as she reached the fountain in the middle of the square, a little girl around seven or eight years old, happily ran to her with a basket of red roses and called out to her in an innocent and adorable voice, like other children who sold flowers.
Christina was slightly surprised and looked down at the little girl at her feet.
The girl with two cute braids was wearing an old red cotton-padded jacket and a pair of tassel boots.
The boots were a little too big and shabby for her.
And the girl was gazing at Christina with innocent eyes, trying to please her.
Christina admitted that she was a little slow at times.She just stared at the girl curiously a bit longer.
But the girl who was busy with business, seeing that Christina did not respond, thought that her appeal had failed.
Just as Christina was trying to get some change from her bag, the girl ran away.
"Roses should be sold to boys.Only boys will send girls roses.You're silly.Come over here quickly..."
Another boy in his teens ran over, and then two small figures left.
Christina was once again depressed.She felt that she was definitely not a good mother.
Even these children did not favor her.
She called a taxi and went back to her Apartment 402, feeling frustrated.
Everyone else was having Christmas dinner tonight, so she had to go home and eat herself.
She was not even in the mood to order in.She cooked herself some instant noodles in the kitchen.
After eating expressionlessly, she nestled on the small sofa and was in a daze for a while.
The property of this community also held a small Christmas party.
It looked like that the parents, children, and old people downstairs were playing a guessing game, and their chattering and laughing came from time to time.
It had been along time since she took antidepressants.
Tonight, she felt her heart beating a little erratically as if it was palpitating.
She felt uncomfortable.
After searching in the drawer for a while, she found the medicine bottle and took two pills.
She didn't know how others spent this Christmas Eve, but she just wanted to sleep, as long as she didn't have nightmares.
The doors and windows were closed, and the room was heated.
At nine o'clock in the evening, she had already laid down to sleep.
Perhaps because of the medicine, Christina fell asleep quickly, but her pray for no nightmare wasn't responded.
In fact, she didn't know whether it was a nightmare or not.
She slept soundly all night, but she felt that someone had lifted her quilt, and then a tall figure lay on her side.She would be uncomfortable if something unfamiliar came close to her.
But in the illusory dream, she felt that the breath and the temperature of the body beside her made her feel familiar and even nostalgic.
Christina did not resist, nor did she feel afraid.She even moved her body and adjusted to a more comfortable posture.
Then in her ear, she heard a low laugh.
In the end, she didn't remember anything.
On the same Christmas Eve, Crystal Zhu, who was in a different place, was not in a good mood.
"Why did you trick me out?"
She glared at the man beside her in dissatisfaction and perplexity, "Chandler, you said Geoffrey wanted to see me.Where is he? Why did you ask me to go so far with you to C City?"
Chandler turned around and stared at her for a long time with a complicated expression.
"Miss Zhu, I asked you to come to C City with me, and you were tricked by me.I was really worried that you would be sold and help the kidnapper count money”
Crystal was so angry that she was about to explode.How could there be such a shameless person? It was he who harbored evil intentions.How did it sound like it was her fault? Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
"Yes, it's all my fault, Mr.Stephenson.I promise you, I won't flatter myself, okay?" Crystal grunted angrily.
She couldn't stand it any longer, so she turned around and left in a dignified manner.
"Wait a minute."
"Crystal, wait." The gentle voice behind her called.
"Who cared about him?" Crystal thought to herself.
But when she reached the bus stop, she couldn't help but turn around and secretly look behind her.
Why was he squatting on the side of the road? As soon as she muttered, Crystal's face immediately changed.
And she completely forgot about her dignity.She rushed over and nervously held his lean body, "Chandler, are you having a stomachache again?"
Crystal was worried about him.
Chandler was still squatting on the road.He slowly raised his head, and a bright smile flashed through his deep eyes.He replied briefly, "No."
He was not sick.
Probably because Crystal had been teased too many times by him, she was dumbfounded.
When she realized it, she saw that scum in a gentleman's disguise standing up straight and flicking the creases in his clothes.
"You, you...Chandler Stephenson, you went too far!"
Even good-tempered Crystal couldn't stand such a shameless man! "You lied to me again!!"
Chandler felt that this girl was about to slip away again, so he reached out and grabbed her.
"Hey, let me go."
Chandler didn't take her warning to heart at all.He explained seriously, "If a man chasses after a woman, it looks silly."
"How dare you complain about being silly!!" Crystal was frustrated inside.
