Chapter 45
It would be inappropriate for me to love him. I felt out of place as I watched them being so happy together. After all, the person who wasn’t loved was the homewrecker.
I wasn’t sure how to feel when I returned to my dormitory. As I lay in bed, the image of him holding me in his arms kept replaying in my mind, and it all seemed so strange. Knowing him, he would’ve done the same for anyone else.
I tried to clear my mind of all the swirling thoughts and eventually fell asleep. I dreamed of them wrapped in each other’s arms, while I was hidden in the shadows like a thief peering into someone else’s happiness Eventually, I woke up with a start, relieved to find that it had all been just a dream.
I’d just put on a clean set of clothes the next moming and was ready to tackle the outdoor setup alone when I received a call from an unfamiliar number.
“Hello,” 1 answered politely. I was surprised despite not knowing who it was.
“It’s me,” a familiar voice came through, catching me off guard. What did he want? Was he calling just to rub it in?
“Theard you don’t have any classes today. Are you really not going to come to the hospital to look after me?
I was completely dumbfounded. Even though I had no idea how Ethan found out I had no classes that day, I was surprised that he wanted me to go to the hospital to look after him.
What did he take me for? It was almost as if he expected me to drop everything and cater to his every whim
*Mr. Grayson, you’ve got so much going for you. I’m sure you have plenty of people who are more than willing to take care of you”
Considering his stature, there was probably a long line of people who would have loved to wait on him hand and foot. There was no need for him to ask me.
Besides, he wasn’t alone. He had Leah. It seemed a bit unreasonable for me to go and add myself to the mix.
The man on the other end of the line suddenly sounded a little burt, as though he had been treated unfairly.
“You sure are heartless 1 wouldn’t have fractured my hand it hadn’t saved you! I have no one to look after me right now, yet you’re griping about being asked to help?
I felt a little p
e guilty, pursing my lips together. However, it soon dawned on me that he was purposefully setting me up.
I scoffed, my tone laced with contempt and disgust. It seemed like he was bored, and he wanted to make me a part of his game. However, I was no longer the Evelyn who was head over heels for ha
*You must be kidding, Mr. Grayson. I’m sure Ms
Ms. Grant would be more than willing to take care of you, and even if she weren’t, you’ve got plenty of people around you.”
or Liam and their little love
I turned him down flat I was no longer the doormat I used to be, and 1 had no intention of being his servant
“Are you telling me that your family is so hard up that they can’t even afford to hire a caretaker to look after you?” I sneered.
All I wanted at the moment was to sever ties and keep as much distance as possible from him in the future. I wanted nothing to do with Ethan, Leah, or L triangle.
I was just about to hang up on hun when I heard him groan. Even though the pillar from yesterday was small, it was solid enough to cause a serious injury. Imagined he must’ve been in a lot of pain. While a part of me felt bad, it was hard for me to feel for him given what he’d done “If had done nothing yesterday, you would be the one in the hospital right now. Do you think anyone would be there to look after you?”
His q
question took me by surprise.
“I’m not forcing you to look after me. I just didn’t want to trouble anyone else. After all, Lonly got injured because I tried to save you. Would you rather I ask someone else for help? Spin to Claim Your 5
