Rebecca didn't know what to do with Adam.
She stood up, turned around, and looked out the window.
Outside the window, the lights were bright but far less dazzling than the twinkling stars in the sky.
"Adam, why don't you understand that the person you love is Miss Green. She doesn't want you to have any contact with me. She hates me just like you used to."
"The person you love is Miss Green."
"She hates me just like you used to."
Adam thought her words were highly ironic and the greatest jokes on the earth.
"Rebecca, are you willing to give us a chance to get back together?" asked Adam in a hoarse and sad voice.
Rebecca frowned and lowered her head. Then, she turned around, looked at him, shook her head calmly, and said, "I'm sorry. I don't like you anymore. I mean it."
"Your love disappears so quickly, huh?" asked Adam furiously. He strode over, held Rebecca's shoulders, and looked at her in great pain with his bloodshot eyes. "You used to love me so much that you've done many things for me. Have you forgotten?"
"No, how could I forget?" Rebecca looked at Adam who was agitated like a trapped animal, smiled, and said, "That I haven't forgotten all those is the reason why I don't like you anymore. I am too aggrieved to love you."
Tears in Adam's eyes suddenly flowed down.
Rebecca frowned, her heart constricting again. A sense of suffocation that she had not felt for a long time took hold of her.
She wiped Adam's tears away.
"Adam, do you remember your oath?" asked Rebecca. "You said that Miss Green was the only one you wanted to marry. You also said you would never fall in love or get physical with me and that if you did, you would be impotent and have no child of your own."
"Rebecca..."
"I remember every word you said," Rebecca interrupted him and said. "You're a man. You shouldn't go back on your words."
"Rebecca Smith!" Adam burst into tears. Then he pulled her into a tight hug and said, "I regret it. I really do!"
Rebecca was being held so tightly that she couldn't breathe but she didn't struggle or resist. She just said calmly, "Adam, what do you want me to do? I don't like you anymore!"
The only consistent thing in the world was that things were always changing.
Her feelings for Adam had been decreasing from the moment he woke up after the car accident and were all gone until the moment she knelt in front of him in Paris.
