“You’re not sincere at all.” Rodney saw that Mireya was in a hurry to leave, so he started to pick a fight because he was irritated.
That, in turn, made Mireya infuriated. “What do you want me to do? Do I have to kneel to apologize to her?”
Rodney sneered. “If it weren’t for you, would Sarah be sitting in a wheelchair? She even has to go to the disabled bathrooms now. I’ll have you know that it’s useless even if you kneel. It’s not worth anything at all.”
“Mr. Snow, let me warn you to watch what you say. I can sue you for defamation,” Mireya warned him coldly and angrily.
“You…”
“Mireya, what happened?”
At that moment, Jack walked in from the restaurant. He glanced at Rodney and Sarah, feeling slightly puzzled.
When Rodney saw Jack, an unfamiliar guy, blood rushed up to his head, and he lashed out at Mireya. “Mireya, you’re not having a date here with this old guy today, right?”
“What old guy? He’s the same age as you!” Mireya was speechless.
“You’re such a flirt.” Rodney started mocking her without filtering his words. “You change men like you’re changing clothes. How can you even have eyes for a person of this quality? Do you think you’re being fair to Dani? Rather than spending time with her at home, you’re here with an ugly man.”
“You’re crazy. Jack is a Physics professor at such a young age. Any one of his brain cells can surpass a brainless person like you.” Mireya got so angry that she started quarreling with Rodney. “Also, what right do you have to control me regarding Dani’s matter? As a father, have you ever taken responsibility for your daughter? How dare you talk about me! Get lost. Just looking at you is making me lose my appetite.”
“Do you think I wish to see you? You evil woman.”
Rodney sneered at Jack. “Let me remind you of this. You’d best stay away from this woman. She’s very evil. Do you see this woman in the wheelchair beside me? Mireya was the one who severed her limbs and dd her face.”
Jack frowned.
At that, the people around them started pointing fingers at Mireya and discussing. Their eyes were looking at her as if she was evil.
“Rodney, I’m saying this for the last time. If you think I was the one who harmed Sarah, you can report it to the police. Don’t accuse me of everything.”
Mireya did not want to stay for another moment. Hence, she turned around and left.
Jack quickly went after her.
Looking at the silhouette of them leaving, Rodney looked furious. He had the urge to rush forward and tear that man apart.
He only came back to his senses after Sarah called him twice. When he lowered his head, he saw tears flowing down Sarah’s face.
“Rodney, are you still not over Mireya?” Sarah wanted to pretend to be open-minded, but she could not tolerate Rodney’s jealous gaze. “I know I look bad and hideous now. I can’t compare to her at all…”
“Sarah, stop saying those things. I’ve lost all feelings for her ever since she hurt you,” Rodney said as he quickly held her hands and lowered his head.
“Don’t lie to me. You don’t like me. That is why you still refuse to touch me even though we’re married.” Sarah sobbed.
“No, that’s not it. I’m just afraid of hurting you because your body is weak.”
Rodney could not tell her what he was going through. Sarah’s health was not the only reason why he had not had s*x with Sarah at all. The other reason was that he could not bring himself to touch her because he did not like her anymore. He was only marrying her to take responsibility for what he had done to her.
Sarah used to be a goddess in his heart and the dream girl he longed for when he was younger. Yet, Sarah was now too thin, and there were many wounds on her body and face, which made him feel guilty and fueled his hatred toward Mireya. Nevertheless, he did not have any desires at all.
Sometimes when he felt the urge in the morning, Mireya’s seductive look on the bed would fill his mind. Her skin was fair, and she had everything in the right places. Even her voice sounded nice.
However, none of that belonged to him anymore.
At the thought of that guy just now, hatred washed over Rodney.
He hated Mireya too. Why did she treat Sarah like that back then? If she had not been so cruel, he would have had a reason not to divorce her forever. That was why his words were always harsh every time he was with Mireya.
In fact, things would have been fine if he had sent Sarah overseas back then.
Too bad… Too bad…
He did regret keeping Sarah here. It would have been fine if he did not go soft-hearted and sent her overseas straight away without anyone finding out.
Unfortunately, regret could not turn back time.
Rodney felt helpless regarding his future life. Nevertheless, he could only stay by Sarah’s side and continue living.
She said she wanted to have a wedding. Hence, he gave it to her.
He would give her everything. Besides atoning for his sins, his remaining life was meaningless anyway.
Sarah glanced at how distracted Rodney looked and silently sneered. He was not thinking of not hurting her. He simply disliked her.
However, what could she do in this state of hers?
…..
Mireya and Jack returned to the restaurant, but the atmosphere was not as harmonious as before.
Mireya, in particular, did not want to stay any longer in the restaurant when she knew that Rodney and Sarah, the two people she hated the most, were in the same restaurant. “I’m full…”
“Okay.” Jack stood up. “It’s still early. Let’s…”
“I’m tired. I want to go back.” Mireya interrupted him.
Jack was stunned for two seconds before he nodded. “I’ll send you home.”
“No need. I’ll take a taxi. Besides, it’s inconvenient for you to go to The Lodge.” Mireya refused him.
After Jack paid for the meal, he followed her out and watched as she got into a taxi.
Mireya looked at her reflection on the window, thinking that night was a disaster. However, she still told the taxi driver to stop at the front.
Just as she got down the car, she received Ryan’s call. “Why did your dinner end so early?”
Mireya was taken aback. Then, she realized something. “How did you know that my dinner has ended?”
She looked around instinctively.
Ryan explained, “I’m parked near the restaurant where you were having dinner, and I saw you coming out. Get down. I’ll come over to pick you up…”
“I’ve already got out of the car. I’m ahead, where the cars are turning.”
“Wait for me.”
Mireya waited there for less than five minutes when Ryan drove his Audi in front of her. The passenger seat’s window was open, revealing a handsome face. “Get in.”
After Mireya got on, she glanced at the half- finished McDonald’s on the dashboard and the laptop at the backseat. She was astonished. ” This is your dinner…?”
“Mm. I worked extra hours until 7:00 p.m., so I just drove here.”
Ryan smiled nonchalantly. “What’s wrong with burgers? I ate them a lot when I was studying abroad. They’re convenient and quick. Besides, today’s a festive holiday. There are couples everywhere on the streets. Am I not making myself suffer if I have dinner by myself?”
After he spoke, he glanced at Mireya helplessly. “I don’t like other people giving me pitiful gazes.”
Mireya understood what he meant.
She hated things like Valentine’s Day, New Year’s Eve, and Christmas when she was single. Those celebrations would only make her feel alone.
However, she felt inexplicably guilty to hear those words from Ryan.
It was as if she had abandoned Ryan first, and she felt bad about it.
“Actually… I didn’t have my fill just now. Should we go and get some more food?” Mireya looked outside the window. “That restaurant. How does mac and cheese sound?”
“…Okay.”
Ryan’s lips curved into a grin, and he found a place to park his car.
The mac and cheese store was small. However, it was crowded since it was a holiday. There was even a queue.
