Come With Me

Chapter 18 A Fleeting Surprise

Seeing that my mother had left, I took a deep breath, turned around and entered the house of the Luo family.

I didn't want to go back to that breathless house so soon.

I walked to the corner of the courtyard, trying to combine my sadness with the twilight of the night.

To my surprise, I saw a scarlet light flickering in the darkness.

I stopped and looked at the man. It turned out to be Robbie.

"Why don't you tell everyone that you are Rogelio's wife?"

"Don't you all think that I brought shame on the Luo family? No one is willing to accept me?"

Even the air between us became quiet. Robbie was still smoking quietly while I was just standing there.

After smoking, Robbie crashed the cigarette end and looked towards the party which was still lively.

He put his hands in his trouser pockets and habitually took out the cigarette box again.

"You smoke too much."

"I don't like to get drunk. But cigarette is a good thing."

That moment, I seemed feel something from Robbie. It turned out that he could not live a happier life than others, even though he looked distinguished.

It might be a sadness. Maybe it was because he seldom laughed, or maybe it was because we were both unhappy except for the gap of money.

"Why? Since my birth is a shame on your family, why do you still want me to marry in?"

"Shame? It's a shame, but some people couldn't feel it."

Robbie didn't smoke again finally. He put the cigarette back and walked towards the illuminated light.

I went in after a while. Those people were still having fun. When I was about to go upstairs, someone stood in front of me.

It was a young man. His face was a little reddish. "Miss, may I have a dance with you?"

As he spoke, his eyes winked, gesturing to me toward the dance floor.

"Sorry, I can't dance," I apologized

The man squinted at me in disbelief. "You are the partner of Mr. Robbie. How could you not dance? Or do you think I'm not as important as Mr. Robbie? "

I didn't want to make any trouble here anymore. "Sir, I really can't dance. I don't mean anything else."

"So maybe that crazy old woman really is your mother? Then what Mr. Robbie said just now is a lie. "

"No, it's not like that."

Lying was much easier than accepting the reality.

The man smiled and grabbed my hand on the stair armrest with his hand. "It doesn't matter. I can teach you. Unless you look down upon me."

The man was so strong that I was pulled down from the stairs. Before I could stand still, he put his hand on my waist. To the rhythm of the music, I followed him stiffly and circled around.

I don't know why my foot would always step on his. However, he didn't seem to be angry. Squinting at me, he said, "you're really naughty."

I felt so uncomfortable that I lowered my head without saying anything. I just wanted to escape as soon as possible.

"Which family are you from? Why haven't I seen you before? What do your families do? Can you give me your phone number? "

While speaking, the man's hands around my waist were restless, and his fingers moved a little frivolously from time to time.

I pushed him away, "sorry, I don't feel well. I don't want to dance anymore."

"What a boring woman!"

The man didn't bother me anymore. Instead, he began to search for his new target in the crowd.

Without being noticed, I rushed into Rogelio's room. I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

I took off that pair of uncomfortable high heels and walked barefoot to Rogelio.

Now every time I saw him fall asleep safe and sound, I could feel an inexplicable peace in her heart.

"Hi, Rogelio. This is Jasmine. I'm back."

"The party isn't over yet. It looks like we'll have to wait for a while. I had a look at it just now. It's a lively party."

"I'm sorry for keeping you waiting. Are you sleepy? I'll help you have a shower right away. "

I wiped Rogelio's body with a wet towel and turned off the lights in the room.

However, I couldn't fall asleep because of what my mother did just now.

I didn't know what's waiting for me. I believe that Mrs. Nancy won't let me go easily.

The morning sunshine was still gentle and beautiful. By accident, I caught a glimpse of the small box on the bookshelf. It occurred to me that I had promised to read a love letter for Rogelio every day, but as for the performance of Robbie and Rosie, I couldn't help wondering whether Rogelio's reluctance to wake up was caused by the leave of Michelle.

Suddenly, a bold idea came to my mind. Then I took out a love letter from the box.

I introduced myself to Rogelio again before reading the love letter.

"Hi, Rogelio. I'm back. I'm Michelle."

"Do you still remember the first autumn since we fell in love with each other? I made a scarf for you by myself. You said that the scarf was like a small stove. With it, even if you wear only one T-shirt, you won't feel cold in winter. I was looking at you with affection then, laughing at your stupidity. You said that you would be silly all your life because it was worthwhile to be silly for me. "

"How I wish I could be with you like this forever! I wish I could just hold your hand and do nothing."

I was reading the letter when one of my hand held Rogelio's. I pretended to be Michelle.

"Rogelio, you've been in a coma for so long. I've waited for you for a long time. It's so long. Can you open your eyes? I miss you and I need your company. "

At that moment, I believed that I wasn't hallucinating. I clearly felt that Rogelio's fingers trembled slightly, and his eyes made a clear reaction looked like a person in a nightmare and tried hard to open his eyes.

My breath stopped for a moment, fearing that it would disturb a miracle and turn it into disappointment.

But such a reaction only lasted for a few seconds. It seemed that it had taken a century.

Rogelio became what he like as usual. I was unable to control the emotions in my heart, like an anxious mother trying to wake up a child who was about to be late for school.

"Rogelio, I'm Michelle. Open your eyes and look at me. I'm back. I'm really back and I'll never leave again. As long as you open your eyes, I'll be with you forever..."

In order to wake Rogelio up, I didn't care about telling a lie...

I was surprised and trying hard when Maria broke in as usual. "Mrs. Nancy want to see you."

I had a feeling that I just nearly succeeded.

I sighed and sat up slowly. I know what happened last night. Mrs. Nancy will not easily let me go. I don't know how she will deal with me this time...
