A Crazy Night Novel

“So, what is it that you want to tell me?” Christina went straight to the point when they arrived at the distant corner.

“I’m here to bid you farewell. I’m leaving,” answered Francis forthrightly.

Upon hearing that, Christina was stunned and slightly confounded. “You’re leaving? To go where?”

After all, it was normal for movie stars to travel overseas for filming.

When Francis peered at Christina’s expression, he instantly knew she didn’t understand what he truly meant. However, he didn’t provide further clarification either.

Turning around, he pressed his palms on a waist-high metal railing and gazed at the sea.

“I want to ask you a question, Christina,” asked Francis slowly and solemnly as the waves crashed into the beach.

Christina detected the melancholy in his tone and turned to him, puzzled.

Seeing that she didn’t respond, Francis grew silent for a few seconds before asking, “If I had met you before Nathaniel did, would you have fallen for me?”

He had kept that question suppressed in his heart for a long time, to the point he couldn’t even recall if he had asked her that question before.

Maybe he had but refused to give up. Thus, he wished to ask Christina that question again before he departed.

Christina frowned, not expecting Francis to invite her to a secluded location for that purpose.

The sound of crashing waves traveled into their ears as Francis quietly waited for Christina’s answer, as though he wouldn’t leave until he obtained it.

In response, Christina sighed. “There are no ifs in life. Besides, if not for Nathaniel, I wouldn’t have met you.” Since I wouldn’t have encountered you, why do we even need to speculate about the possibility of us falling in love?

That sentence thoroughly killed Francis’ hope as he lowered his head with a bitter smile. “You two really are a couple.”

Unbeknownst to her, he had asked Nathaniel the same question in the same spot ten minutes ago.

Nathaniel had retorted his hypothesis in a similar manner.

“You met Nathaniel earlier?” Christina was sharp enough to catch the implication in Francis’ words. In response, Francis nodded. “He was just here, yes.”
