Chapter 13
When they returned in the evening. Charleson escorted her to the dormitory building.
“Be careful on your way back. Check yourself carefully for any wounds and if you feel unwell anywhere, you can ask me to accompany you to see a doctor tomorrow.”
Charleson remembered that she used to complain about her leg hurting before, suspecting that she might have bumped into something.
“Okay, got it. You go back quickly, bye! Caroline also waved goodbye to him with a smile, then turned to see Joshua, her face instantly falling.”
She coldly walked past him towards the dormitory gate, but he grabbed her.
When I pulled her, I accidentally touched her wound, which was caused by a fight.
Unable to bear it, Caroline cried out in pain, “Ah! Be gentle!”
Charleson heard the sound and immediately ran back. He saw her being pulled by Joshua, and with a gloomy face, he pulled her away and protected her behind him.
Seeing Joshua still wanting to approach, she raised her hand slightly to stop him and said in a deep voice, “Are you crazy? Haven’t you seen the large bruise on her hand?”
Chapter 13
Joshua had just wanted to retort, but Caroline interrupted them, saying, “It’s okay. Charleson, you go back first. I’ll talk to him.”
Charleson nodded, confirming that she was okay, and said, “Well, I’ll be going now. If you need anything, just call me.”
I left only after seeing Caroline agreed.
Joshua waited until Charleson was out of sight before asking. “Who is he?”
Caroline glanced at him and sneered, “Can’t you see the person who just saved me from your Kelly?”
Joshua was instantly defeated by her one stab.
After a moment of silence, Caroline also remained silent, having nothing to say to him.
“I’m sorry Carol, it was my fault…”
Caroline reached out to stop him and said, “No, today’s issue is not your responsibility, it’s Kelly’s problem.“.
Joshua had just wanted to say something.
Caroline’s tone changed: “But your mistake was that, knowing Kelly’s personality, you repeatedly rejected her while also giving her hope, to the point where she blamed me for all the sins…”
“No, Carol, I didn’t…”
“Don’t say you don’t have it, you do. Caroline sneered, reliving a lifetime, finally understanding many things.”
Every time Joshua rejected Kelly, he would say, “I only like Caroline.”
Or, you simply couldn’t compare to Caroline at all.
So Kelly went crazy with hatred towards her, so Kelly felt that without Caroline, Joshua belonged to Kelly.
However, liking or not liking is not a comparison.
You can say that I don’t like you, but you can’t say that I prefer Caroline over liking you.
“I”
A hint of pain flashed in Joshua’s eyes.
After all, Caroline had truly loved the person in front of her, and she couldn’t bear to see him in pain.
Seeing the pain that flashed in his eyes, Caroline’s tone softened a lot: “Joshua, let’s break up. You saw it too; how crazy Kelly can be. Just let me go, okay?”
“No! Joshua’s heart skipped a beat, immediately refusing, “No way! We are getting married soon! Why should we break up because of Kelly?“”
Caroline furrowed her brow, her eyes stained with undeniable pain.
Yes, at this time, they were about to get married soon.
The parents of both sides have already set the wedding date, and the banquet has been arranged long ago. Now they are about to enter the stage of trying on wedding dresses.
Three times.
In her previous tragic life and this new life of rebirth, she almost married the man she loved three times in a row.
Three times, just a little bit short, she was about to have an originally happy and perfect marriage.
But it was all because of Kelly.
For the first time, on the eve of her wedding, Kelly broke both of her legs in a car accident.
The second time, she had even tried on wedding dresses, but she watched as Joshua fell in love with Kelly, so she gave up everything and chose to die in front of the person she loved most.
And this time, nothing had happened yet. She had safely avoided the car accident, and he believed that Joshua would not give Kelly another chance to hurt her. But she still gave up.
She no longer believed in Joshua and Kelly, and didn’t want to have any more entanglements with them.
As long as Kelly stopped bothering her, she was willing to step back and let them be.
So Kelly looked at the person in front of her, unwilling to part with every detail of his eyebrows, eyes, edges, and contours.
But now, she wants to give up: “Joshua, I don’t want any of this anymore.”
She had a hint of choking, but her tone was full of determination and resolve.
“I don’t want to continue getting involved with you and Kelly anymore,
Chapter 11.
I want to move on.”
“No, Carol, I don’t agree, I love you, I really love you… Joshua couldn’t stop trembling, his voice filled with a painful struggle.”
Caroline couldn’t help but cry, but she still shook her head firmly…
Joshua saw her shaking her head, grabbed her and pulled her into his arms, and frantically pounded his chest while holding her hand.
“I’m sorry Carol… I’m sorry… I was wrong, it’s all my fault… Please don’t leave me, okay?”
He humbly begged for forgiveness, apologizing repeatedly, causing passersby to glance sideways.
“Carol, I am sending Kelly abroad now. I will never be soft–hearted again and will not have any entanglement with her. Please don’t leave me, okay…”
But Caroline just pushed him away with tears streaming down her face, shook her head, and ran into the dormitory without saying a
word.
What she did not see was that the always resolute man, hunched over, slowly squatted down. As her figure disappeared in the hallway, it seemed like some suppressed emotion finally burst like a dam, unable to hold back the tears any longer.
“Carol, I was wrong, Carol, I was really wrong. Can you forgive me?”
In the brightly lit dormitory building, it seemed as if the pitch–black night descended without hesitation, spreading around Joshua. There was no longer brightness by his side, only the lingering oppression and
pain.
