Chapter 25 Caught In The Act
“I’ve only thought to ask after five years have passed, but why did you leave?” Dominic sneered at me.
“It doesn’t matter where I go. Your memory follows me everywhere.”
I was lost for a long time after the break-up. Thus, I could not think of anything else besides him.
It had happened around graduation season. At that time, everyone in the dorm was busy with their final thesis or job applications. I was the only one who had been wallowing in grief over a heartbreak, so it had been painful trying to get through each day.
Tears pricked my eyes as I recalled that time from five years ago. I lowered my head and let my hair hang over my face to hide my sorrow from Dominic.
Dominic looked away and said nothing. I could not tell if he was mad at me or if he, like me, was just lost in his memories.
Finally, the car pulled to a stop in front of the mansion, and Calvin was the first to get out. He immediately readied a wheelchair for Dominic. Calvin was a true gentleman, and like a comic book superhero, he was always there whenever he was needed.
I reluctantly got out of the car after Dominic and limped after him. Pain shot through my legs the moment I put my weight on it. I instinctively hopped a few steps, and my legs nearly gave out again.
Fortunately, Calvin was close enough for me to grab onto. Otherwise, I would have toppled to the ground.
Dominic seemed upset by this and said with a sour expression, “Are you an idiot? Why are you prancing around in high heels? Are you doing that on purpose just so you could fall into Calvin’s arms?”
Before I had the chance to retort, Calvin had jumped ten feet away from me as if I had the plague.
Ugh! I wish I could hit Dominic with the pointy end of my heels! I thought to myself angrily.
When we were all safely inside the house, Calvin politely bade Dominic farewell. I looked up at him, wanting to thank him for his help, but he merely threw me a quick glance and turned tail.
