u won’t see my stepfather
“Katherine, don’t say things I don’t want to hear,” Andrew walked over and pressed her onto the chair, his face darkened. “You w again, and we will start over and live a good lite. ”
“Come, taste your favorite potato cake and chicken and sweet potato soup. Over the past four years, I have diligently practiced my cooking skills, so the taste should be pretty good ”
“Andrew, you were a 28–year–old man, please don’t act so limpulsively, okay?” Katherine softened her tone, trying to communicate with him calmly. “1 understand that your male pride is at play, so you are desperately trying to regain your dignity by pursuing me like crazy.”
“But where does this leave Sarah if you do so? You love her so much, are you willing to make her sad?
“I had already stopped loving Sarah a long time ago it was you that I loved. Unfortunately, it was only after you left that I finally realized this.” Andrew poured soup and placed it by her side, looking nostalgic. “You have been by my side for too long, giving me a sense of security, making me accustomed to eating the food you cook, falling asleep to the lullabies you sing before bed, and wearing the clothes you have put together for me. “Whenever I turned back, you were standing there, never leaving.”
“I thought it was just a habit for you, but after you left, everything felt off. It was then that I realized, you had already unknowingly occupied my heart, just like breathing, impossible to let go.”
“I couldn’t eat any food made by anyone, nor could I sleep. I crazily searched for your presence in every corner of the house, like a person who has been cursed, with only one thought in my mind to find you!”
Speaking of this, tears welled up in his eyes. “I loved you, Katherine. I’m sorry, I said this confession too late, causing us to miss out on four years of our Lives together.”
“In the future, I started a cultural media company for you, promoting you to become a renowned cartoonist, spoiling you, loving you, and ensuring that you don’t suffer any grievances!”
“I didn’t need it!”
Katherine interrupted him and emphasized with a stronger tone, “I would achieve my dreams through my
y own efforts, I don’t need your help!”
“I just want to go back quickly now and complete my engagement ceremony, do you understand?”
“Andrew, wake up, we can never go back to the past!”
“As long as I tried, we could go back to the past,” Andrew peeled the shrimp and put it in her bowl, smiling confidently. “Be good and eat well, later I will accompany you to the beach to pick seashells.”
Katherine angrily dropped her fork and got up to leave.
A cold voice came from behind him, saying, “I advise you to dismiss the thought of running away, because you simply couldn’t escape.”
“We are currently on a deserted island in the Mirrored Ocean, without my helicopter, you wouldn’t be able to return to the mainland, understand?”
“What?” Katherine’s blood froze in her veins as she looked at him in disbelief. “You…you trapped me on the island?”
“Well, to be precise, it was a private island that I gave you,” Andrew walled over and held her hand, his expression gentle. “I had someone plant a rose garden for you on the island, and these days are the perfect time for them to bloom. The scenery is magnificent. I also had someone set up a hammock for you to take a nap in the afternoon.”
“You are really crazy!” Katherine shook off his hand and went upstairs.
Not long after, Andrew walked into the room and gently placed the dish he was holding on the bedside table, saying, “Katherine, you need to replenish your nutrition properly, listen to ine.”
Katherine turned her face away and didn’t want to pay attention to him.
, you we
were too thin now,
The man used a fork to pick up a piece of Potato Cake and accidentally brushed against her cherry lips. His tone was oppressive as he said, “Katherine, don’t expect to resist me by going on a hunger strike, or else I will have someone dig up your father’s ashes and scatter them!*
“You knew my to
temper, I said it and I did it.”
Katherine was so angry that she couldn’t speak, she raised her hand and gave laim a slap, saying, “Bastard!”
The man raised his hand and touched his swollen red cheek, with a mesmerized expression. “The sound of that slap was so pleasing, I really liked it. You should eat more so that you have the strength to hit me, you know?”
