Chapter 18
Although Calvin helped Madilyn cover up the plagiarism incident, his attitude towards her became increasingly cold after he returned
Madilyn gritted her teeth and thought, Calvin must still be unable to forget Aaliyahı
Even though he had already left like a stray dog, he still lingered around.
Madilyn thought of this and picked up her phone to message Calvin, “Calvin, I think I got sick, can you come and check on me?
After all, Calvin, who had liked her for many years, still went over when he received a message from Madilyn.
When Calvin arrived at Madilyn’s house, Madilyn was lying on the couch wearing a camisole nightgown. Her face looked normal, without any signs of being sick.
Calvin immediately understood what was going on when he saw her like that, and he was a little displeased.
Just as I was about to leave, Madilyn grabbed my hand.
“Sorry, Calvin. You have been distant lately, and I got a little scared, so I lied and said I was sick.”
Upon hearing Madilyn say this, Calvin’s displeasure dissipated by half.
Madilyn seized the opportunity and said, “Would you like to have dinner with me?”
Calvin did not refuse anymore and sat at the dining table.
Madilyn poured two glasses of red wine from the decanter and handed une to Calvin
Calvin didn’t take it, but after just two sips, he felt a little off.
He felt a bit hot and couldn’t help but loosen his the with his hand
Madilyn saw Calvin’s movement and immediately got up and straddled Calvin, reaching out to unbutton Calvin’s shirt.
Calvin watched Madilyn’s actions and understood that this must have been a trap set by Madilyn.
Calvin endured the discomfort in his body and forcefully pushed Madilyn, who was sitting on his lap, to the ground.
Madilyn didn’t expect Calvin to push him away directly, she was somewhat incredulous,
Calvin stumbled as he tried to walk out, but he was embraced from behind by Madilyn.
“Calvin, don’t go…” Madilyn pleaded.
Calvin forcefully pressed Madilyn against the wall.
“I have always thought that you were obedient and sensible all these years, even when you did some unusual things, I thought it was because you cared about me But to my surprise, you actually betrayed the. I never expected you to be this kind of person.”
Madilyn was repeatedly pushed away by Calvin, and now he even laid hands on her. She couldn’t pretend anymore.
“Don’t you accept me, and aren’t you still thinking about that
“What does our matter have to do with Aaliyah
Madilyn suddenly burst into laughter.
hat woman Aaliyah?”
“Calvin, you kept saying that Aaliyah was bothering you, that you detested her, but now it seems like you actually enjoyed her pursuit and cared about her all along
Calvin looked at Madilyn, whose expression was twisted, and said sternly, “You calm down, okay?”
Madilyn pashed open the door and Calvin left straight away.
Calvin returned home and, after resolving his physical discomfort, lay down on the bed, recalling the words Madilyn had said to him.
“You also quite enjoyed her pursuit and always cared about her.”
Calvin murmured this sentence several times and took out the photo fragments he had found at the amusement park.
Calvin caressed the tiny fragment, his mind filled with the seven years of Aaliyah pursuing him and all the little muments that followed him.
It was not until this moment that Calvin had to hit that Madilyn was right. He had indeed unconsciously gotten used to having Aaliyah around him.
The next day, Calvin found Essence.
“What about the room surveillance you showed me before?”
Suddenly, when Calvin asked like that, Essence didn’t quite catch on, “What surveillance?”
Previously, Madilyn and Aaliyah were in the room, the video of the room catching fire.”
Essence mocked Calvin,
“Didn’t you say you believed Madilyn before? You clearly promised me that we would watch it tonight, but now Madilyn’s phone call made you believe her again. Why are you coming to me for the surveillance at this time? Could it be that you regret it and want to win Aaliyah back?”
Faced with Essence’s mockery, Calvin couldn’t defend himself,
Essence continued speaking as she looked at Calvin’s silent expression.
“It was late when Aaliyah messaged me a few days ago and said that she had a boyfriend now, apparently named Alfredo.” “What boyfriend?!”
Essence was startled by Calvin’s sudden increase in volume and took a moment before speaking: “Aaliyah was with Alfredo.” Calvin didn’t want to believe this thing was
s true at all, but Essence’s appearance didn’t seem like she was lying to him. J“It’s impossible, she must have wanted to use Alfredo to provoke me,” Calvin muttered absentmindedly.
