Me After Meeting You

Amber turned around fearing the worst, realizing too late that the phone she had placed on the coffee table earlier was still recording. The screen showed her mother’s dumbstruck face.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

But soon after, her face disappeared from the screen, and Amber’s father big hand appeared again, this time ending the video call.

On their side was undoubtedly another big argument, but Amber couldn’t worry about it right now. She turned around, and saw that Calvin was watching her. He had a very nice pair of eyes; they were large and slightly bent at the sides, and they always held a somewhat hazy look when he looked at people, along with an unfathomable drop of melancholy.

That melancholy was particularly eye catching, like the stained glass lamp her grandmother made for her when she was small. In deep winter nights, it always made her want to remove the lamp shade to see the colored light more clearly.

This time, his attractive eyes were accompanied by a half smile dancing about his lips. The rims of his eyes were red, but his pupils were bright and alluring, more than enough to make one’s heart drunk.

She asked him, “Are you alright?”

He only looked at her.

“Calvin?” She carefully said, “Let me go. You’re drunk. I’ll get you a glass of water.”

These words finally shook him awake. “No!” As he said this, he pulled harder with his hand, tightly grasping her arm.

“Amber ….” He mumbled her name as he incoherently said, “Did you know? I’m so happy that he’s finally in, finally in!”

Amber stared at him blankly for a moment before asking, “He? As in, your father?”

“Father? Ha, father!” Calvin laughed as if he had heard a funny joke, and looked at her with smiling eyes.

“I don’t have a father. He’s not my father!” Calvin grabbed her even harder; Amber had originally been using her hands to keep herself steady on the sofa, but this time, she was completely pulled forward by his strength, and helplessly fell on to his chest.

He slowly raised himself toward her head, and then lightly whispered into her ear, “I’ll tell you a secret. I’m not his son!”

Amber gave him a look of surprise. His face still carried a smile, almost as if he had said something amazing.

“You don’t believe me?” Calvin asked.

Amber shook her head. “No.”

Actually, she just didn’t want to keep listening to him in this kind of situation, but this wasn’t a decision she could make.

Calvin was still smiling, but that smile made her feel even worse than if he was crying. “I’m a bastard. My mom was already carrying me when she married him. At that time, he said that he wouldn’t mind and would take care of both her and me.

However, when I was born, he and his mother almost drowned me. My mom said that they tried twice, but I didn’t die either time. In the end, they only let me live because they couldn’t keep trying.”

When Calvin saw the shock on Amber’s face, he looked even happier. “You don’t believe me, do you? Actually, I don’t either. That man, with his refined and polite look, doesn’t look at all like someone who would do something like that. But in truth, he’s a parasite, a leech, a gambler, and a fraud.

My mom didn’t dare have another child for a long period of time, so he beat her and he beat me. When she finally gave birth to a daughter, he ignored her. And when my mom was unable to get out of bed, he … so, to sum it up, Amber, I’m actually very happy that he’s finally gotten what he deserves.

His mother is dead, his daughter is crazy, and he himself is in prison. In the end, with nothing to his name, he even has to rely on us to take care of his daughter. Hahaha, karma actually exists, doesn’t it?”

After he poured his heart out, Calvin started laughing loudly, so much so that he started choking and curled up into a ball in response, so much so that he even started tearing up.

But he was still holding on to to her desperately, his hand gripping her exactly where Elly had bitten her, where her wound was wide and deep, and where the swelling had just died down. This hold was so painful that Amber involuntarily sucked in a deep breath and could only lay there, paralyzed, by his side.

The two of them had been positioned in quite the suggestive position earlier, and now it was even more so after he had clambered forward. As she fell down, her head had landed on his abdomen.

She didn’t feel like it was a big deal, but the person who just burst in was so surprised that he almost jumped up in shock. “F*ck! Am I blind? Are you really hiding a man behind Ian’s back, Dr. Camille? Are you crazy?!”

“….”

A familiar voice and an equally familiar style of speech.

Ian’s friend, Billy, loved to appear in extremely unconventional means.

When Amber suddenly saw him appear in her house unannounced, she was naturally very surprised. As she struggled to climb up, she turned around to look at him before dealing with her current situation. “How did you get in?”

After Billy had finished jumping and yelling in shock, he immediately took out his phone to take some pictures as evidence.

Kacha kacha, photo after photo was saved.

When he was satisfied, he angrily shouted, “Your front door was open wide; I just walked in, of course!” He narrowed his eyes and looked at the two of them. “I really didn’t expect you to be like this, Dr. Camille. You’ve got some guts! You’re quite arrogant, aren’t you? Engaging in intimate acts without even closing your door!”

The words that he used were really disgusting. Amber frowned, and ignored him to focus on Calvin. He seemed a bit more clear headed now, as he was no longer messing around now that he realized that someone else had entered; he just lay there on the sofa, silent.
