I know she has always liked turning a blind eye to me. Until now, she raises her head and looks at me in pretentious surprise, exclaiming, “Charlotte, you are here too! I was just kidding. It’s just a punishment for people who lost the game when we were together. You won’t mind it, will you?” Some sentences in this chapter require you to read the complete chapters on J o b n i b.com to avoid an incomplete reading experience. “No, I don’t mind it at all. You can play whatever you want. I don’t care. To be honest, I prefer to watch TV now,” saying this, I pick up the remote control and shift the channels.
“Charlotte, you know what? Alex is great. He can do a dozen push-ups consecutively with me on his back!”
“Really? I don’t know that. How about you two do it right now to broaden my horizon?” I put the remote control down and looked at Camilla and Alex with curiosity.
“I’ll go to the kitchen to help Charles,” Alexander suddenly stood up and on his way to the kitchen with an expressionless face.
The rest of us remain in the living room, staring at each other.
During the dinner, I am sitting to Alexander’s left and Camilla to his right.
“Oops, I don’t like mutton,” said Camilla who put the mutton on Alexander’s plate.
It is not new to me that they act so intimately. I am different now. I won’t be angered by this.
Charles can cook so I’d rather bury my head on the plate, eating until I am full.
After dinner, Camilla advises them to play a game together. Thinking I haven’t reviewed my materials, I want to go back home.
“Have a good night. I gotta go,” I stand up.
“I am with you. I will drive you home,” Alexander also stands up.
“No, thanks. I can go home by taxi,” I really think I don’t need Alexander to take care of me.
But I don’t know why Alexander’s face sinks when he hears what I said. He put on a long face and said with a tough voice, “Go back home now, right now.””I will go with you two. Would you like to give me a ride?” Camilla asked.
Approaching his car, I directly open the back door and get in.
Soon I start to review my practice materials on my phone.
I have made myself a schedule before the examination: two hours a day.
I was so busy with work during the day so I have to use every single minute to study now.
I think that after half an hour on the way home, I only have to study for another one and a half hours at home.
Soon I engage myself in the materials and it takes me a long time to realize that the environment in the car today is so eerily quiet.
“Alex, did you hear me just now? Why didn’t you say anything? I am about to be angry!” Camilla opens her mouth after a while.
Alexander replied, “I am so tired today. Camilla, could you leave me alone? I am driving.”
Camilla showed displeasure and stopped saying anything.
When she gets out of the car, she even deliberately slams the door to show her discontent.
Back home, I go right to the study. After half an hour, I go out and Alexander has gone to the guest room.
I breathe a sigh of relief. Ever since the argument last time, we’ve been living in separate rooms. Alexander is a proud man. I know if I don’t apologize first, he won’t come to me. I know that.
