Chapter 5 She Remembered These Three Slaps!
Chapter 5 She Remembered These Three Slaps!
"What consequences? Am I telling the truth? Didn’t your mother seduce my father?!" Nia held her head
high stubbornly and did not compromise at all, "You tolerated so much unpleasant words about Heath
Jordan just now, but now you are afraid that I will be angry and embarrass your mother when I back
home, am I right?"
Because of her loud voice, several people gathered at the door to see what’s going on.
Slap!
Rae slapped her again. This time, she slapped her harder than before, and her palm was numb.
Nia endured the pain and did not fight back. Because she knew she couldn't beat Rae.
And now Rae looked a little scary when she was angry, to some extent, a little like Jensen. For a
moment, she felt that the two were exactly the same. Just that little resemblance made her afraid to
fight back. Although she couldn't fight back, Nia knew very well that Lola was Rae's weakness!
It was beyond imagination that for mother’s love, how thirsty a child abandoned by its mother would be!
Her pain was probably nothing compared to the pain Rae was experiencing!
With this in mind, Nia then spoke with extreme cruelty, "By the way, you didn't see how bad did my dad
beat your mom after he got drunk last night, and you have no idea about how did your mom cling to my
dad's thighs and begged him not to kick her out. It was really impressive." Nia deliberately said each
word harshly and extremely slowly, as if she was afraid Rae couldn't hear her clearly!
Slap!
The third slap.
"Nia, try saying that again?" Rae raised her hand and pointed at Nia. Not knowing whether it was
because of anger or sadness, her hands were trembling. Although she was warning her, her heart was
aching because of Nia's words. She didn't understand why her mother preferred to stay with that man?
Wouldn't it be better for her to go back to her and live a happy life? Why would she would rather to
kneel down than came back?
"OK, I've finished anyway. But remember, Rae, I won’t forget these three slaps!" Nia said indignantly
with a trace of evil in her eyes, and then went into the restaurant with her friend.
After Nia left, Rae felt her world suddenly quieted down. She looked up at the sky and took a deep
breath. Just then her phone vibrated in her pocket. She took it out and saw that it was a message from
Jensen calling her for dinner with an address, and Rae didn't dare to delay anything related to money,
so she answered the message and took a taxi to the SV Hotel where she would have an appointment
with Jensen.
...
Rae opened the door of the private room and saw that Jensen was alone. So she just took off her high
heels, then stepped on the soft carpet towards Jensen and sat down next to him, looking very casual.
"What's wrong?" Jensen saw an unusual trace from Rae's eyes though she kept her head down
intentionally.
"Darcy is pregnant. I'm going to pay a lot of money if she messes up the shoot." Rae blurted out, then
picked up the tea on the table and took a sip. Just now she forced herself not to cry but almost choked
up.
Jensen put down the menu and said seriously, "Given her personality, she won't keep the baby. You
know that very well." So she was lying. And in his opinion, Rae never let herself suffer easily. If she was
hurt, it would be when she lost to the person she loved. That's Rae. She was like a warrior in front of
strangers, but in front of the one she loved, she embraced them easily because she was afraid of being
alone.
"Ophelia now holds forty percent of the official accounts, which is three percent more than I have. Now
everyone is sucking up to her, and my business is worse." Rae told another lie.
Jensen was silent because he didn't want to answer the lie.
"Hey, I'll have to spend my hard-earned money again by twelve o'clock, and then I'll have to ask you for
money again at the end of next month." Rae sensed that Jensen was getting serious, so she sighed
heavily and pretended to have a headache, trying to make Jensen believe what she said. Sometimes
she felt Jensen knew her well. This understanding made her afraid. In fact, she didn't really need some
words of comfort, because it would make her feel pity for herself. Instead, she felt better when she said
something casually or told a lie.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Jensen didn't want to listen to her bullshit.
He just wanted to know who was giving her a hard time.
It wasn't that he didn't know the answer, actually. After all, there were only two people in this world that
Rae would care about.
He just wanted her to say it herself, to talk to him about her unhappiness as if he were the only person
she could rely on.
"No, it's nothing but someone curse me and I was upset to hear it." Rae couldn't stand Jensen's
earnest questioning and got to the point, but she still had reservations, "Am I the person who is actually
a bitch but still want good reputation? If people like me are not supposed to be cursed, then it's really
unfair to others who are still holding on to their virtue no matter how hard life is." By the end, Rae
couldn't help but laugh at herself.
Jensen picked up the water bottle and poured her another glass of water.
He thought she was hiding something else. But seeing that she wouldn't say anything no matter how
much he asked, he just let her be. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
Jensen didn't force her, but asked, "Who said that?"
"Just nobody. Forget it. Let’s get started," Rae picked up the menu and pretended to read it carefully.
Seeing Jensen stop asking, Rae was relieved.
She couldn't hold her head up in front of him anymore. She really didn't want to show him all her
worries, which would make her feel pity for herself.
After a while, she called the waiter to order. However, before the food was served, Rae noticed that
Jensen's phone screen kept lighting up. Rae bit her forks and said, "If you're busy, go ahead. You don't
have to worry about me."
"No, I'm not busy." After that, Jensen turned the phone over so that the screen could not be seen
anymore.
Seeing this, Rae really wanted to roll her eyes at him. He was really unskillful about telling lies. But
once she thought that he was doing all this for her ... She held her face in one hand and looked at
Jensen sitting next to her. He was now already a man. Back then, he looked innocent when he was
young, but now he had fully grown up and turned into a real man. His side face looked perfect, looking
as delicate as famous paintings. She was really attracted and couldn’t move her gaze away.
"Hey, I suddenly remembered that when Eric ... when I argued with my ex, you were always the one
who accompanied me. Jensen, do you think you are my best male friend?" Realizing that Jensen was
a bit quiet, Rae started to look for topics.
"Will you sleep with your best male friend?" Jensen heard that she used the term "best male friend" to
describe him, and refuted her with a clear and cold voice. He didn't want to be her best friend, and he
just wanted to be her boyfriend. It was a pity that she was not very discerning at that time, and loved
the wrong person to death, so he had no choice but to keep her stay, and waited for her change.
He also wondered if God heard his prayers and really let her and Eric break up. Although Jensen had
never understood why these two people in love suddenly broke up, he did not need to know the details,
and the result was what mattered. He took it as Rae suddenly thought through and understood that Eric
was not the right man for her.
But God seemed to have missed the other half of the sentence, he waited for so long and did not see
the second wish came true.
"... How disappointing!" Rae was speechless.
Nearly finished eating, Jensen took out his phone from his suit jacket and tapped his fingertips on it a
few times.
Rae, who was sullenly biting into her ribs, heard a ding-dong from her phone. She picked it up and saw
that it was a message about money transfering. She didn't need to have a check because it must be
the exact amount she needed. It happened every month. After she paid all her income, she would ask
Jensen for the rest she needed. And although he looked arrogant, he would eventually give her. Rae
immediately smiled, "Oh, my goodness, I'm suddenly in a better mood. Money is the only thing in this
world that can cure me. Thank you, Mr. Knight."
Her smile face and the soft voice with which she called him Mr. Knight was like a firework suddenly
exploding in a dark sky at midnight, which was colorful and dazzling.
He really can't move his eyes from her.
Thinking about her flirtation and active move last night, Jensen couldn't help but swallow and tell her,
"I'm going back to the office for a meeting and will be home later."
Rae was so focused on transferring money to someone else on her phone that she ignored that he was
talking about home. She bit into her ribs and muttered, "You have keys, right? Because I will watch a
TV show together with Isabella and stay at her house tonight." The phone prompted that the transfer
was successful. Rae was greatly relieved to see that this month's target was achieved. She spat the
bone out of her mouth onto the plate. Seeing Jensen look like he was holding back something, she
knew what he was planning to do when he said go home. Rae deliberately smirked. Who refused her
and pretended to be noble last night? Now he wanted to do it, but it was her turn to refuse him.
"Mr. Knight, I'm going. Bye." Rae got up and waved at him. Out of debt, out of burden. Although a new
month came in a few hours, and new debts followed, she couldn't just think about the future and give
up the ease of the present. When she reached the door of the private room, Rae stood still and turned
her head deliberately, "By the way, a new massage parlor has opened in the third street, right on the
left of the apartment building where we live. Mr. Knight, if you are lonely in the midnight, you can go
and try it." After saying that, Rae did not look back and walked away.
Hearing this, Jensen almost couldn’t catch his breath and get angry.
She was always the same every month when she had enough money, and immediately turned her
attitude on him. It was a far cry from her solicitous attitude when she was short of money. She even
suggested him to go to a brothel for fun. Is that because she was sure that he wouldn't go, or because
she did not care whether he would go or not? Perhaps in her eyes, he was just like an ATM. When she
was short of money, she showed all her enthusiasm in front of him. But when her trouble was settled,
she did not care of him ... Seeing that he was going to think of those unhappy things again, Jensen
immediately interrupted himself.
But it didn’t matter. A month was going by fast anyway. She could be as smug as she was at the
present, and he would win back at the end of the month.
