Chapter 78

Lucy’s sweet voice could be heard.
“Bob, I’m so hungry, and I have gastroenteritis. Go back to the hotel quickly.“”
Bob showed a touch of tenderness on his face.
“I’ll be back soon. You should ask someone to buy medicine for you first.“}
“But I don’t know what medicine to buy. You’ve always been the one taking care of me. Ouch! It hurts so much!“}
Lucy started to lose her temper, and Bob patiently coaxed her.”
Yet, Lucy was not easy to deal with.
She snorted coldly, blaming that he was heartless and ungrateful, and then hung up the phone.>>
“She has no idea how to take care of herself. She doesn’t even know what medicine to take when she has gastroenteritis.” Bob’s tone was full of indifference, but the worry on his face betrayed his emotions.”
I felt bitter in my heart.”
“Not only did you come to see me, you also brought Lucy with you. So, you two are staying in the same hotel now?“}]
Bob looked panicked and frantically explained.
“No, Lucy has been feeling irritable these days and just wants to go to another city to relax.”
I sneered repeatedly.
We had been dating for five years but never traveled together.
But whenever Lúcy was in a bad mood, Bob would accompany her out to relax.
“How about going to avoid the summer heat?“}
“How about I take you to the beach?”
“Want to go abroad? I can take some time off to accompany you.“}
He was very patient as she felt irritated. But if I were in a bad mood, he would just think I was being unreasonable and never consider making me happy.
“Stop that now! I’m under a lot of pressure at work.“}
I had already made it clear whom he preferred in his heart.”
“Go find her. Otherwise, she will be anxious,” I said coldly.”
Bob sighed. “She doesn’t know how to take care of herself. If she continues like this, she’ll have health problems. I’ll come see you tomorrow.“2
I waved my hand. “No need to come.”
With a frown, Bob was about to say something when his cell phone rang again.
He patiently comforted Lucy and hurried out of the community.
The next day, I didn’t see Bob.
On the third day, I worked overtime until ten o’clock but unexpectedly saw Bob at the door.”
He held a gift in his hand.”
“I took Lucy to the hospital yesterday, and she is a little better today. Scarlet, she and I don’t live in the same room. We booked two rooms.“2
He never explained it to me before.
But now, I just felt annoyed as he took the initiative to explain it to me.
“Well.
“Are you still angry?}
“What are you angry about??
“I told you, I don’t have an affair with her…”
I rubbed my eyebrows.
In fact, I really didn’t care about what happened between the two.!
“I know the truth.”%
“Scarlet, it seems like you’ve changed…” Bob looked at me blankly.
I smiled with a hint of helplessness.
“What kind of person have I always been in your mind? Unreasonable? Hysterical?“}
He didn’t answer.
“Bob, do you know how tired I am?”
Bob trembled all over.
I lowered my eyes and restrained myself. Then I turned around and walked towerd
11:34 AM
Bob trembled all over
I lowered my eyes and restrained myself. Then I turned around and walked towards the elevator.
He looked at my back and panicked for the first time.
“Scarlet, I will keep her at arm’s length.
“Believe me, I’ll let her go back now!”
I had been waiting for him to say that.
But unluckily, I didn’t care about it now.”
Just as I was about to enter the elevator, Bob hugged me from behind.”

“Scarlet, I know that you took out the bill that day to make my friends leave our home. It was my fault for inviting them without your consent. I’m sorry for that.”
“Well.” I was indifferent.
“Scarlet, why do I feel like I’m going to lose you?”
I pried open his fingers one by one as my eyes fell on the pink rubber band on his wrist.”
“Bob, you can’t keep your distance from her. Everyone could see that you love Lucy.“}]
Bob trembled all over.M
“Don’t worry! I can change.”
“But I feel tired.“}
Having finished speaking, I went straight upstairs.
For several days in a row, Bob followed me when I went to work and got off work.
He indeed changed, taking care of me in every possible way.
Seeing Bob pestering me, Anna talked to me earnestly.
“Scarlet, it’s hard for people to change. Don’t be soft–hearted, or you’ll make the same mistakes again.“}
I nodded and promised her, “Don’t worry, Anna. I see.”
I was looking for a chance to convince myself to give up the relationship I had invested in for five years.” After I got off work on Friday, Bob looked at me eagerly.
“Scarlet, it’s my birthday tomorrow. Can I treat you to a meal?”
