Ex husband's Plea for Forgiveness

"Are you leaving?"

Yulia asked with a hint of regret when she saw the man holding his car keys in his hand.

"Unfortunately my friend has been looking for me, urgently trying to communicate with me so I have to go home now. I'm sorry that I can't accompany you," said the man looking guilty.

Meanwhile, although he was looking sorry, his eyes were looking straight into Yulia's eyes, as if he was trying to communicate something to her. Yulia bit her lips while wringing her hands and turned to look at the main villa.

When she thought of Melinda, she really didn't want to go back to the banquet hall at all, because no one cared about her existence anyway.

"Can... can I go with you?"

Yulia asked after some hesitation. She liked hanging around the man because he gave her a sense of comfort and always took her seriously. He treated her as if she mattered.

"Are you sure you don't want to go back to the banquet?"

The man gave her a penetrating stare. His eyes seemed to see right through her thoughts at a glance. She nodded shyly, and said looking aggrieved, "I don't want to stay there at all.

"I'm going out for a drink with a few friends. Are you sure you are okay with that?"

The man suddenly walked up and touched Yulia's head, as if trying to comfort her. Such intimate behavior as if they were familiar with each other made Yulia blush. Then she threw caution to the wind and put her arms around the man's waist and said, "Take me away with you, please."

His chest did not disappoint. It was as warm as she had imagined, and he didn't refuse her request. She was sure that this person really must like her. She couldn't help but give a secret smile marveling at how lucky she was.

"Alright, let's go," the man said as he tagged Yulia's hand, leading her to the car.

Once Yulia got into the car, he made sure she was comfortable before he fastened her seat belt for her carefully.

"I don't know anything about you, at least tell me your name for starters."

Yulia had been so happy with all the attention she was receiving; she was in cloud nine, and had even forgotten to ask for his name. The man smiled exposing his well-lined teeth, fit for a toothpaste advert and said, "My name is Alan Lu."

"Alan?"

"What?"

Alan Lu looked at Yulia in confusion, while she was giggling and grinning like a Cheshire cat. The car was soon started and smoothly left the Gu's mansion, gaining power as it cruised down the freeway. Yulia was not worried that they were not talking to each other. She was very comfortable with the silence as long as she was sitting beside Alan Lu. She kept smiling the whole time until they reached their destination.

Several of Alan Lu’s friends were at the bar. As soon as he walked hand in hand with Yulia, they teased the two of them for a while as if it was not an everyday occurrence for Alan Lu to show up with a girl. Yulia was still adjusting to meeting so many strangers so she stayed quiet beside Alan Lu.

They started playing dice while Alan Lu drank as fast as he was playing, although he prevented Yulia from drinking as much. Soon he was too drunk to even hold his head up so he leaned on Yulia, and took a nap.

Yulia did not mind such intimate behavior and hoped for more.

The rest of his friends continued drinking and watching the show without giving them a single thought until it was past 1 a.m. before they started leaving one by one, each for their own direction. Before they left they would look at the two curiously as if just noticing that they were still there.
