Facade of Love

Chapter 325 Torturing Myself in a Different Way

I frowned and pursed my lips, saying, “That’s hard to say.”

Idris fell silent, looking at me without a word. The light in his dark eyes seemed to dim a bit, filled with disappointment and helplessness. He was like an abandoned child.

Holding the car keys in my hand, I gazed at him and said, “Idris, we can go back together.”

“I’ll walk back,” he replied firmly.

Watching his retreating figure, I lowered my head to look at the car keys in my hand. There was a slight ache in my heart. I could not help but mock myself. When did I become so childish and ridiculous?

This way of venting anger was probably something only I could come up with.

Taking a deep breath, I looked up at the pitch–black sky. It was probably eighteen miles from here to Clearwater Residence. It would take quite a bit of physical effort and time to walk back. What was I getting so worked up about, anyway?

What absurd behavior!

I had never driven Idris‘ car before, but luckily, all cars were more or less the same. It was just a matter of handling the throttle and brakes. I simply would not touch anything else. With that in mind, I slowly drove back.

Nearly an hour later, I parked the car downstairs at the Scotts Residence. I did not hurry to get out of the car but instinctively checked the time. It was almost ten o’clock. I was not doubting Idris‘ trustworthiness or worried that he might have taken a cab back. I was more concerned that he might be too honest and actually walk all the way back.
