Chapter 5

005 The Last Call

Scarlett’s POV

Aurora still took me to the airport. But she wouldn’t give me my ticket.

Stuffed a cup of hot cocoa in my hands, she glares at me across McDonald’s tiny table like a fierce mom judging her truant kid.

“I JUST found out today–” I start timidly and instantly she retorts–

“Yeah, you said that!”

It’s not like I planned any of this. I drop my eyes to my cocoa, can’t look at her. She’s mad, and I know why.

She’s from a rich family. Beautiful, popular, two-meter-long legs, etc. But she wasn’t born rich. She watched her single mom work her ass off raising her, hating her irresponsible father her whole life, only to find out that he didn’t leave them, like what her mom told her. Her mom brought forward the breakup.

She is seeing me doing exactly the same thing.

“I won’t teach the baby to hate him…” I mumble, not dare look at the anger on her face. I know how much she has been through.

“That’s not all!” Aurora shoots me a death stare, firing like a machine gun, “My mom lied to me, yes, but that’s because my dad did cheat on her. But he also loved me, and it hurts to only know that he suffered a dozen years thinking I hated him while I thought the same, and it hurts when it blew out and I shouted at my mom, and it hurts to know she has given me her everything and more…it’s just very, very complicated. You have no idea how hard it was for her to start her own company, and I watched, every bit of her pain!”
