Rejected But Not Broken – Chapter 17

Bold

I looked at the surprised guard and returned his helpless smile. I’m being dragged away by my ear; how can he not be surprised? Suddenly, the person walking quickly in front stopped. What is she going to do?

“You knew all along, didn’t you? You didn’t tell me my daughter was meeting men; I’ll settle the score with you later.” After saying this, she pointed at the guard and pulled me away. I silently said sorry in my heart; I’ve caused you trouble!

“Good job! You just got better and went out to meet men again.”

“No, you wouldn’t have gone to meet men with an injured leg, would you?” She glared at me fiercely.

“Yes, that’s right. It’s hard to find a child as persistent as me nowadays.”

“Is that a virtue?” she shouted.

“Is persistence not a virtue?” She had no words to retort, glaring at me fiercely. Suddenly, she scoffed, “And you’ll find a handsome guy? Don’t even think about how someone like him would look at you; just wait to be deceived for money and love!”

Is there a mother who curses her daughter like this?

“Why did you call me? Are you breaking up again?”

“Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Don’t say such ominous things. I love him too much to break up!”

“Oh, are you serious this time? I knew it, the deluxe edition never has exceptions.”

“But I’m worried he doesn’t have feelings for me.”

“Then just ask him.”

Thalia Eve’s personality really doesn’t match her appearance; this bold, confident woman suits her much better. No wonder I always felt something was off when I saw her gentle demeanor before.

“I asked him, and he said he likes me, and it’s not just sibling love. After verification, he didn’t lie, but I’m still afraid of being deceived.”

“The booklet says he’s aloof, upright, and doesn’t lie,” Thalia Eve emphasized.

“I can’t explain my organization to you, but I absolutely won’t allow you to question its capabilities.” The serious tone and firm attitude told me not to mess around, but with her guarantee, all my doubts vanished, and I felt so relieved! After hanging up, an unprecedented joy surged through me. I was so excited that I wanted to rush out and buy firecrackers to celebrate. He likes me! How lucky am I?

Occasionally seeing a handsome guy, chatting with him, listening to his jokes, and enjoying his thoughtfulness and pampering from time to time—oh, this life is simply too delightful.

Calculating the days, he’s on vacation too. Last time, he surprised me, so this time, it’s my turn!

“The number you dialed is currently unavailable…”

Unavailable? This is the first time he hasn’t answered my call! Could it be that his phone is out of battery? Right, I have his home phone number; calling his home will definitely surprise him even more.

“Hello.” A woman’s voice?

“Hi, I’m looking for K Y.”

“A woman? Trying to hit on my son? No way! Get lost!” The phone hung up. It wasn’t me who hung up on purpose; her roar was comparable to my mom’s! With that shout, my ears rang, and the phone slipped from my hand. I was scared of hanging up! How terrifying!

“Did you just call me?”

“Yes! Your phone was off, so I called your home, and then… your mom is so scary!”

“My mom used to be a drill instructor, and her personality is why she’s so fierce.” He explained with a hint of apology.

“Sorry for scaring you.”

It’s this kind of gentleness that makes me utterly captivated!

“It looks like we can’t meet today. Next time, I’ll take you to my house.”

“Okay.”

“This is your house?”

Although it can’t be considered luxurious, it’s still quite impressive.

“Your family isn’t hiding any high-ranking officials, are they?”

This isn’t a house that an ordinary soldier could afford. He didn’t answer directly but gave me a smile, which made me feel even more certain that my guess was right.

As soon as we entered, I saw two women walking towards us.

“That’s my sister and my younger sister.”

Seeing them made me feel a mix of envy and jealousy! Their hair is so short, is that a buzz cut? And they’re still this beautiful; is this even real? If I could just get one-third of their looks, I could transform from an ugly duckling into a swan!

He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and said to them, “This is my girlfriend, Lillie.”

“Hello.” They gave me a meaningful smile.

“Let’s go! I’ll take you to my room. Didn’t you want to see what I usually do?”

I hadn’t figured out what their smiles meant, but hearing him say that made me stop thinking immediately. I’m about to visit the room of my idol! Of course, I need to clear my mind and take it seriously.
