Please Love Me, Mr. George

“My decision over my divorce has nothing to do with you! Leo, I do appreciate your concern about me. But there is nothing else I am gonna pay you besides appreciation. Please, leave me alone for the sake of our family bond, Thank you!”

After saying that, I stood up and added, “Thank you for the tea. It’s getting late. I gotta go now.” Before he could utter, I straightly walked out of the box.

As soon as I stepped out of the door, I heard cups being smashed on the ground inside the box. But I didn’t stop. Then I walked down the corridor and headed downstairs.

Diana was waiting for me in the lobby. Seeing me, she trotted to me and asked worriedly, “Are you alright? Did he threaten you?”

I held her trembling hands and shook my head, “No. It’s getting late. Let’s go back home.”

She raised her head to cast a glimpse mixed with great horror at the second floor, where there stood Leo as he walked out of the box. He silently gazed at us with a gloomy and horrible-looking face.

Diana couldn’t help grabbing my hands harder. She then nodded, “Alright, let’s go home.”

Then she led me out of the café without looking back.

As we got back to the accommodation, it had been in the small hours. After washing ourselves up, we went to bed together. I found it hard to sleep alone as some kinds of horror had been haunting me recently. Thanks to Diana, I finally fell asleep with her by my side.

As Hensley Town was famous for its nice weather, the sun shone brightly in the next morning. At 7:00 AM, a ray of sunlight squeezed in through the gap between curtains. The light spots scattered around the room, looking amazing.

I kept gazing at the ceiling blankly for a while. Then the phone on the night table began to buzz. I reached out my head to grab it and checked the caller’s number, which seemed to be quite familiar to me.

But I couldn’t tell who it was within seconds. So I picked it up, “Hello?”

“Where are you?” a cold but familiar voice sounded. I paused and realized that it was Mario. I couldn’t help exclaiming, “Doctor Mario?”

I was surprised at his cold voice as he always talked to me with gentle manners.

Mario seemed to pause for seconds. Then his voice softened a bit, “Clara? You are now with Diana?”
