Cherysh Jordan laughed softly, not knowing what she was laughing about. She looked down at the coffee in her cup, her eyes unfocused, âAt that time, you were indeed too stupid, so stupid that I was astounded, wondering how you even survived in that family.â
âWhen I first met you, I was curious. How could you be so stupid living in a
family like that? Later, I found out that you were so stupid because of William Sullivan.â
âWilliam Sullivan was so wonderful, how could you be worthy of him.â After saying this, she laughed mockingly, raised her head, looked into Enna Clarkâs eyes, and said candidly, âAt that time, thatâs what I thought.â
What did her being worthy or unworthy of William Sullivan have to do with whether she was âstupidâ or not?
âThat kind of thought was like poison, growing inside me relentlessly. On one hand, we went to class together, worked together, went shopping, shared
secrets, and were best friends. On the other hand, I was deeply jealous of you in the dark, jealous that you had a boyfriend like William Sullivan. And I⦠had nothing. â
âDo you know how painful it is to pretend not to like someone when you actually do?â
âSo, did you give me a drug?â
Cherysh lowered her head, laughed softly again, her hoarse voice sounding incredibly sexy. She dodged the question and pulled out a cigarette from her bag, suddenly asking, âDo you mind if I smoke a cigarette?â
âGo ahead.â
She fumbled for her lighter and lit her cigarette. The burning cigarette tip seemed seductive against her nail polish, âWilliam Sullivan doesnât know he had sex with me.â
âAfter we had sex that night, I was afraid of his disdainful look the next day, so I got up and cleaned him up, changed the sheets, and even put on clothes. The next morning when he woke up, I told him that nothing had happened, and we were just drunk.â
âHe believed it, and without hesitation, he went looking for you. Before long, someone told him that youâd slept with another man. Unable to face you, he chose to go abroad.â Cherysh flicked the ashes off her cigarette, her eyes numb as she looked at Enna, âThat night when he had sex with me, he kept calling your name. I knew that all these years, the person heâs loved was always you. Even if you slept with another man, he still loved you.â
Enna listened quietly, took a sip of her coffee, and stood up, âFinished? If youâre done, Iâll leave first.â
Cherysh suddenly became agitated and stopped her, âEnna! Do you have a heart at all? Iâm saying all this, donât you have any reaction? Or have you already betrayed him, not just in body, but in heart as well?â
Betrayal⦠Enna found this word particularly ridiculous. She took a deep breath, turned her head, stared at her eyes intently, and said sarcastically, âWhat kind of reaction you expect me to have? Be moved? Or weep with remorse? Or perhaps, be moved and cry while running into William Sullivanâs embrace?â
Not waiting for Cheryshâs answer, she continued without expression, âIâm sorry, but Iâm not that cheap. I canât be moved to tears just because my boyfriend called my name while sleeping with my best friend.â
If even this could move her, she wouldnât be a mere saint, but the Virgin Mary herself!
