Chapter 81
Annalise felt suffocated by my sharp words, realizing that I had always been too polire to her. She didn’t expect me who seemed gentle and weak, to have such a wrong presence.
After 1 finished speaking, I walked past Leyla. Tleft the balcony and had just stepped into the hanger hall when I came face to face with Kaleb standing in front of me. The man’s deep black pupila stared at me, dark and mysterious. He should have heard it clearly at such a distance
I had a good memory and remembered having read an entertainment report that said Kaleh had been expporting Leyla for three years, during which there were constant rumors. And I had only known Kaleb for two years because we were sisters and looked so similar. I didn’t dare to scrutinize the details or have the courage to understand the reasons behind it. I had been avoiding these things for two years, but now it seems like I can’t excape them.
I felt a tightness in my chest, and my fingertips were tingling with a faint pulse. I walked past Kaleh calmly and silently. In a fleeting moment, Kaleb quickly grasped my wrist as we passed by each other. The strength of his big palm was very strong. I felt a slight pain in my wrist, and my heart felt a dull ache. I didn’t want to talk to him and felt tired.
The two of us stood side by side, facing in opposite directions, and remained silent for a while without speaking The lively atmosphere of the party seemed to be at odds with the oppressive atmosphere between us
After a while, I broke the deadlock and spoke lightly, “If there’s something to discuss, let’s talk about it. If not, please let go.”
Kaleb’s voice was deep.“Have a drink with me.”
My mind went blank for a moment, feeling confused for no reason, and I directly refused. “I wouldn’t drink alcohol.”
His tone was light, tinged with sarcasm.“Can’t drink, or don’t want to drink with me?”
I took a deep breath and realized that his grip had become slightly stronger. I gave up struggling, as it was not appropriate to argue in this situation. I turned around and looked at Kaleb’s profile.
