Alita took a deep breath, eyeing the fruits in Kim’s hands. Her face remained calm, but she hesitated, unsure which one to pick.
Annabel’s sweet smile transformed into a sinister look.
“Come on, Alita, just pick one. Why make it so hard?” Annabel’s tone was still sweet, but her eyes were sharp.
“To be honest, I like all fruits. Grapes are sweet, and bananas are soft; each has its own charm,” Alita said, avoiding making a random choice.
Jaydon sneered. “You’re greedy. If you eat too many bananas and then try the grapes, they’ll taste extra sour. By
then, the grapes will just rot and be thrown away.”
Alita, sharp–minded, immediately understood that bananas were his choice. “You’re right. After careful thought,
bananas seem more to my taste.”
“Really?” Jaydon raised an eyebrow, a surprised and smug smile spreading across his face.
“Of course.” Alita smiled gently at him, inwardly sighing in relief. ‘Childish.”
‘Are you still trying to please him even after he’s treated you like this?‘ Kim thought and sneered, but he then quickly regained composure. “Well, looks like I lost. Alita, it seems you helped him cheat.”
“Why would I? He just knows me better,” Alita responded gracefully. These two men wanted to make her suffer, but it wasn’t that easy.
“Is that so?” Kim stared at her, his gaze icy.
Seeing this, Annabel stood up and blocked Kim’s view. “Kim, it’s about time. We should go.
“Alright.” Kim gave her a gentle smile, then turned to Alita and Jaydon, politely bidding farewell. “Alita, Jaydon, we’re heading out.”
“Okay,” Alita said with a faint smile. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Jaydon nodded with a sly smile.
Then, Kim and Annabel wolked out hand in hand.
Alita looked away, lost in thought. ‘The contrast between memories and reality was striking. The memories were
beautiful, and Kim appeared so gentle and perfect. If only we never met, those beautiful moments from the past.
wouldn’t be shattered like this.”
“Regret not catching him?” Jaydon noticed her disappointment, just a trace, but he felt a strong sense of jealousy.
“Not really. There are too many things in my life to regret. That’s nothing to compare.” Faced with his intense rage, she responded with a gentle smile, fragile and helpless.
She truly wanted to tell him that if she could spend the rest of her life with him in peace, there would be nothing *left to regret.
Jaydon still didn’t believe she was completely indifferent to Kim. “If you’re telling the truth, eat all the bananas I picked. Show me.” He took all the bananas from the floor and placed them in front of her.
Alita couldn’t stand it anymore and asked, “Jaydon, don’t you know I hate bananas?”
