He had to admit that the time was perfect for Clara. When she was leaning her head against Terence's chest, she caught sight of Vivian who was standing at the door.
Vivian happened to see the two embracing each other. All of a sudden, the whole scene was frozen. The three people involved in the trouble, including the two young girls at the checkout counter, were all silent.
However, within a second, Terence reacted and glanced at the person standing at the door. Then he threw Clara away violently. He looked uneasy, but was quickly replaced by anger. He gave a stare at Clara and roared, "Are you crazy?"
Terence didn't have a tender heart for Clara. As a result, she was pushed aside and she knocked over the vase on the table with her legs shaking. But she fixed her eyes on Terence all the time.
Vivian stood at the door, dead eyed, unable to move any closer. Yes, she had told Clara that she would not meddle in the matter between she and Terence, but why was she in such a hurry to come to this place to show off? She could see clearly that it was Clara who insisted on pouncing on Terence. She knew that, she knew that, but...
"Vivian!" As she was thinking, Terence had strode towards her and grabbed her arm. "You believe in me, don't you?"
He didn't explain but asked her if she believed him. The expression in his eyes was so sincere and eye-catching He looked into Vivian's eyes for a long time, tensed up and said nothing.
"How can I trust you?" After a while, Clara coldly shook off Terence's hand and said, "Seeing is believing, hearing is deceitful. I have seen everything. What else do you expect me to believe in you? "
Suddenly, the sadness and self mockery in Terence's eyes took the lead. "Don't you believe me? I came all the way from M City to see you. I just want to make sure you are okay. Why don't you believe me? "
Feeling sore in her throat, Vivian opened her mouth, turned around suddenly and said in a sarcastic tone, "Are you rushing here with my cousin? Yes? Is everything okay with me? As long as the two of you leave me alone and don't make me feel sick, I will be fine! "
It turned out that evil words could hurt people more than sharp swords!
All of a sudden, Terence dropped his head helplessly and said, "Since last night, you have been making trouble out of nothing and never let go of any of it. I am very angry. I am mad at the fact that Vivian I know is missing! Even so, I can still defend you. Since you don't reply to my message, I thought that you were busy. In order to make myself at ease, I specially came here to give you a surprise. But I just can't believe that you didn't trust me at all... Do you still want to marry me, Vivian? "
Upon hearing this, Vivian went blank with her back to Terence. It was the first time that he had talked to her in such a strange and cold tone. Her heart was like being thrown into an ice, which instantly froze his blood. Her head buzzed, and she couldn't hear the various sounds around her. She saw some colorful thin lines in front of her...
"If we don't get married... Fine. " She uttered the words between her teeth. She felt that she was going to faint again. With courage, she suddenly turned around and rushed to her bedroom. She didn't even feel pain when her nails were embedded in her flesh. She just didn't want to be defeated in front of Terence. At least, she didn't want to be defeated now The room was on the second floor. She went upstairs quickly...
Vivian knocked into Terence's body with a bump. Watching her running away, he stretched out his hand. She didn't want to get married?
Noticing that Vivian couldn't even keep her balance, Terence turned his head away and walked up to the two receptionists. "Do you have any room left?" he asked
"What?" One of the girls obviously didn't realize what was happening, but the other one quickly said, "Oh, room! There was more! But there is only one single room on the right side of Miss Vivian's room. "
"Give me that room," Said Terence expressionlessly.
"Okay." The girl took Terence's badge and quickly checked in, "Room 2305."
"Thank you." After saying that, Terence walked towards the stairs, without giving a glance at Clara. Clara initially wanted to stop him, but on second thought, she made her way to the check-out counter. Standing in front of the reception, she demanded, "Give me a room, and I just want the one next to Terence."
The two little girls looked into the room in a hurry. After a while, they said, "There's no one nearby."
"Opposite!"
"Opposite... The opposite is no left. "
"The opposite one is no left? I don't believe it! Find me one more time! Anyway, it's good to be close to him! " Shouted Clara.
"Upstairs is okay?" The little girl, who was still in a daze, said in a trembling voice. Hearing that, Clara stretched her hand to pound on the table. "Are you kidding me?! Are you here to laugh at me? "
"No, I'm not.."
"There is one diagonally opposite! There is one diagonally opposite! " Another girl immediately opened her mouth to break the embarrassment, and quickly completed the room check-in for Clara. Clara glared at the two girls again and went upstairs.
Vivian took the last breath and went upstairs. As soon as she entered the room and locked the door, she was stunned and her limbs began to numb. Vivian bit her lip and staggered to the bed. But there were only a few steps that she couldn't cross...
"Clunk!"——
But Terence just turned a deaf ear to her words. He continued knocking on the door and shouted, "Come on, come out, Vivian!"
Vivian was so exhausted that she rubbed her eyes and sat up on the ground with her hands full of pain. However, she was too tired to see clearly what was going on. All she could hear was the sound of the door being pushed open. She sprang to her feet and came to open the door in a hurry.
Terence was leaning against the door and was about to bump into it again when the door was suddenly opened by Vivian. He dodged and rushed toward her.
Vivian took several steps back in a hurry, but Terence scooped her up in his arms and held her tightly.
Terence's hug was still warm. At that moment, even Vivian thought it was worthwhile to die.
"Why are you so cold?" Terence asked as he narrowed his arms.
"Let me go..." "Let go of me!" Vivian cried and pushed Terence away.
"What have you done? It's nine o'clock in the evening now. What have you done for more than four hours! " Terence said and gritted his teeth, "Are you still angry with me?"
More than four hours... She had been in a coma for more than four hours?
His words confused Vivian, who was still struggling to free herself. Suddenly, she felt the gazes from the opposite side. She looked up, only to find that Clara was staring at them enviously. For a moment, she forgot to move, with a mixture of emotions. She was still reluctant to give Terence to Clara... But what else could she do...
Even if she could live, her disease was inherited. Should she pass the disease to her child? She had already suffered so much, and she didn't want to hurt anyone. Let's end it here!
"Clara." She called Clara in a low voice, trying to disturb Terence. However, upon hearing what she said, Terence held her in his arms and closed the door, preventing Clara from the outside.
"What are you doing?" "Let go of me!" Vivian shouted and pushed him away.
Terence shook his body slightly and retreated a little. When Vivian felt relieved, he suddenly approached her, cupped her face in his hands and kissed her on the lips. The smell of tobacco flowed in the air between them. Terence's voice was heard all of a sudden. "Go back with me, Vivian. I still want to marry you."
