Chapter 432: I'm Sorry for Being Late (Second Update)
At the same time.
Jack's arm wound is healed and he has been back to school for several days.
This Monday, after school in the afternoon, he didn't go home or go to the arcade, but drove his Honda to a grocery store and bought a few small things.
At the time of checkout, there were two cashiers standing behind the counter, among whom the girl with a delicate face did not raise her head, and after counting his goods, she said listlessly: "A total of fifteen yuan and eight anise." ”
"Oh, I'll give you twenty, don't look for it, and the rest will be a tip!" The male voice that spoke to her was very kind.
The voice was familiar to Shirley, and she jerked her eyes up, her eyes wide open, stunned.
“…… Jack? You...... How did you come here? ”
Looking at the tall, thin and straight, handsome boy in front of her, she couldn't speak.
Jack smiled with thin lips, "I'll come and see you!" ”
"Look at me?" Shirley's heart was beating like a drum, thumping, "What...... How did you think of coming to see me......
Her breath weakened, and this unexpected surprise made her fall into a dream, unbelievable.
Ten minutes later, however, when she and Jack sat down face-to-face at the bubble tea shop next to the grocery store, she suddenly woke up from her dream.
Jack looked at her, those beautiful peach blossom eyes, there was not much warmth in them, and they were very calm.
Shirley saw it clearly, and her heart cooled.
The corners of her mouth curled into a touch of bitterness, and she asked straight to the point: "Jack, you came to see me today for Lulu!" Those messages I sent her last time ......"
Before the words fell, Jack directly interrupted her, "I'm sorry! ”
"Huh?" Shirley was stunned, didn't Jack settle accounts with her because she ruined his relationship with Tian Lulu? He even took the initiative to apologize to her?
"Why did you tell me you're sorry?"
Jack pursed his thin lips and smiled lightly, "Shirley, I'm sorry for this, I'm nearly four years late, I should have told you when you broke up with me." ”
Hearing this, Shirley's mood suddenly eased a lot.
After so many years, has she been waiting for Jack's "I'm sorry"?
She sighed faintly, and finally confided the words that had been buried in her heart for many years, "Jack, today, you finally understand, why did I break up with you back then!" ”
"Well, I understand the mistakes I made back then!" Jack nodded, his expression extremely serious, this kind of expression, Shirley had never seen on his face.
It can be seen that Jack has grown up and matured, and he is no longer the muddy, casual and playful little boy he was back then.
She silently took a sip of milk tea, and the taste in her mouth was a little astringent and a little sweet.
In his ear, Jack continued in a soft voice, "But, Shirley, all the messages you sent to Lulu were just one side of Angie's words! ”
"One-sided?" Shirley's brows tightened, and her tone was a little questioning, "Back then, that night, you and Angel went to a four-star hotel to open a room, and I witnessed it with my own eyes!" Back then, I waited for you in the lobby of that hotel all night, and you didn't have a room to come out! ”
Jack immediately heard something strange, "Shirley, then tell me, why did you happen to be in that hotel at the time?" ”
Shirley put down the milk tea cup, rubbed her fingertips lightly on the straw, and told Jack everything that happened that night.
The more Jack listened, the more frightened he became, feeling that everything that happened that night was Linda's trick again!
However, before that night, Linda had become Shirley's best friend, and how long he and Shirley had been in love, Linda had been by Shirley's side.
This is certainly not a coincidence!
Now it seems that Linda's acquaintance with Teresa and Shirley was all deliberate by her!
After thinking about it for a long time, Jack spoke again, and his tone was very firm, "Shirley, I can assure you that what you saw and heard at that time was not the truth!" ”
"But what about the bed photo of you and Anqi, how do you explain it?"
At the mention of the photo that once made her heartbroken, Shirley's tone became sharp, and her eyes reddened.
She has always been worried about this matter.
Jack's face was solemn and he told her, "That photo was deliberately taken by Angel to frame me, the purpose is to make us break up!" ”
"Impossible!" Shirley shook her head, completely disbelieving, "Angel is just a bar waitress, and she only has a one-sided relationship with you, and the two of you were just a one-night stand that night." Later, Angel didn't look for you, and she didn't want to be your girlfriend, why did she ruin our relationship? ”
At this point, Jack had figured everything out, and he blurted out, "Because, Angel and Linda are colluding!" ”
"No, no!" Shirley clenched her fingers on the paper cup, "Impossible! Linda is a good friend of mine, she would never do such a thing! ”
She raised her voice to argue for Linda, preferring to believe her good friend of several years rather than the playboy she remembered.
But Jack said, "Shirley, I know this is cruel to you, and it is cruel to me!" So, I ask you to find out the truth of what happened with me! ”
Shirley looked up at him and saw that Jack's expression was so sincere and sincere.
His voice was slightly hoarse, and he said word by word: "Shirley, please believe me!" ”
His eyes shone with a small sparkle of fire, brilliant and dazzling.
Shirley froze.
Her heart, which has hurt for so many years, has long understood that she was the only one in love with Jack back then.
From beginning to end, Jack never had a heart for her, he ignored her, he didn't care about her, he never loved her!
Even if it hadn't happened to Jack and Angel, they would have broken up sooner or later.
Emotionally, Jack didn't actually cheat on her!
However, if what Jack said was true, the person who deceived her trust and affection was Linda!
At this time, even for her own sake, should she find out the truth?
After a long silence, Shirley's lips trembled slightly, and she spoke, "Jack, what do you want me to do?" ”
Suddenly, Jack's eyes were shining, and his expression was bright, "Shirley, you should have Anqi's contact information here, I hope you can go to Anqi with me and figure out everything that happened back then!" ”
