Chapter 424 Get Wet In The Rain
Charles' POV:
After seeing Simon and Caroline leave together, I could not help but rush to follow them.
Caroline's car stopped in front of her house, and instead of leaving, Simon walked into her house with her.
I suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
My heart twisted and ached at the possibility of her falling in love with another man.
Caroline was mine.
And she could not be anyone else's!
I was determined to never let Simon have her.
I ran to her door and knocked.
Soon, Elena opened the door.
Surprised, she looked at me and asked, "Mr. Moore, what are you doing here?"
"I came to see Caroline," I answered bluntly.
"But Miss Wilson doesn't want to see you, so please leave! She is not the person you are looking for, and I hope that you will stop troubling her," Elena warned coldly before she shut the door on my face. Looking at the closed door, I lowered my eyes in disappointment.
After standing there for a long time, I walked back to the car and lit a cigarette.
As the cigarette smoke pervaded, I frowned, lost in thought.
If Simon could get into her house, why couldn't I?
Could it be that Simon was more important in Caroline's heart than I was?
Was she really moving farther and farther away from me?
Feeling the unbearable pain in my heart, I could not breathe.
Clenching my fists, I punched the steering wheel to vent my anger.
Soon, the sky turned dark and the moon rose. I put out the cigarette and got off the car.
It had been a while since Simon walked into her villa, and he still hadn't come out.
Staring at Caroline's bedroom window, I was unwilling to leave.
After a long time, I saw the lights in her room turn on.
However, Simon still was in the villa.
Was he in Caroline's room now?
What were they doing?
Overwhelmed by such questions, I felt like I was suffocating.
I wanted to knock on her door again, but I was afraid that I might annoy her, so I decided to continue waiting outside.
The sky roared loudly, followed by a bright flash of lightning, indicating that a violent storm was coming.
Soon, the rain began pouring down, and the loud clashes of thunder pierced my ears.
Within seconds, my whole body was soaked, and I could not help but shudder from the coldness.
I raised my head and stared at Caroline's bedroom without blinking. All I could think about was the sweet and loving memories that we had. Yes, I had recently started to remember things from our past.
She would be so shy and blush whenever I flirted with her, and she would obediently nestle in my arms, letting me kiss her. She had tolerated everything that I had done to her.
Thinking of our past, I couldn't help but burst into tears.
Under the pouring rain, my tears were indistinguishable.
At times, I would want to go back in time and beat myself up for unscrupulously hurting the woman I loved.
She used to love me with all her heart, but now, she was not even willing to give me a chance to make it up to her. Suppressing the pain in my heart, I prayed to God that she would appear in my sight again.
Time passed, but my prayers were not answered.
All of a sudden, I heard my phone ringing in the car.
I got in the car and answered it.
"Charles, Jason has a fever. Come home immediately."
I hung up the phone, and looked out of the window reluctantly.
However, Caroline's door was still closed.
I tossed my phone aside and drove away reluctantly.
Simon's POV:
It was pouring when I was standing in front of the French window, looking outside. I saw Charles standing in the rain.
He was completely soaked, and looked really embarrassed, but I did not know how long he had been standing there.
"Elena, don't tell Caroline that
Charles is waiting outside. I like her,
and I don't want my competition to get any chance," I ordered in a low voice. .
Elena smiled and warned, "I hope you can be kind to Caroline in the future. She is a kind and stronge woman. If you dare to hurt her, I will never let you go."
"Don't worry. I would never hurt her," I promised with a serious look in my eyes.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
"Caroline was deeply hurt because
of her previous relationship, and she still hasn't recovered from the heartbreak. So it might not be easy for you to win her over," Elena
reminded me with a sigh.
"I understand."
I looked out the window again and saw that Charles had finally left.
Relief flooded my heart.
As soon as I got home, I called Edward.
"Simon, how does Caroline feel about you? And how is your relationship going?" There was concern in his voice.
"She is nice to me, but we are just friends for now," I replied in a voice that was filled with regret.
"Caroline is a late-bloomer, but don't worry too much, and take things slow," Edward comforted me. "Yes, I understand."
"I am looking forward to hearing some good news from you two!"
"I'm looking forward to it, too. When are you coming back, Mr. Wilson?"
"About two weeks later. I will be back on Caroline's birthday. What's your plan?" Edward teased.
"I'm planning a surprise for her, and I hope she will like it."
"What is it?" Edward asked curiously.
"You will find out when the time comes."
After hanging up, I turned on my laptop and began to browse the Internet for gifts that Caroline might like.
Although she seemed to be a gentle person, she was more stubborn than anyone I'd ever met.
Ordinary gifts wouldn't make the cut if I wanted to impress her.
My hands stopped moving when my gaze fell on a photo.
It was a photo of Edward, and Eason Felix, my dad.
They were standing beside each other with a bright smile.
