Love Crisis

Becky shook her head as she held back her tears, bitterness and frustration,"I don't want him to worry about me...", she confessed.

"But your eyes..."

"I'll be fine." Becky interrupted Harrow's sympathetic words. She then forced a smile and said,"Let's go now please."

"Okay, sure let's go." Harrow stood up and helped Becky walk out of the lounge, and into the parking lot.

On their drive back, the atmosphere in the car was quite tense. Becky lowered her eyes and bit her lips as she tried to control her growling anger and bitterness.

On the call he promised to pick her up, but he didn't show up and she was disappointed.

In the past, no matter how busy he was, he always made the time as she was his priority. But now he didn't consider her important enough. Was it a punishment for her being self-willed?

Just the direction of her thoughts laced her eyes with tears. With a hard bite on her lips, Becky tried to fight the urge of breaking down and letting her emotions get the better of her.

Since she decided to return, not a day went by when she was at ease. Her heart was full of expectation, and at the same time, also with fear and anxiety. Yet despite the crippling emotions, she was too proud to let anyone see her failure. She rejected Cindy's offer to accompany her. Instead, she came to A City all by herself. Subconsciously, she hoped Brian was guilty and worried about her.

But... The reality seemed quite contrary to what she hoped and wished with all her heart.

"Bah..." a tear forced its way out of her delicate eyes, and dropped onto her hand. Hastily, Becky turned her face aside to conceal her emotions. But somehow it did not help.

"Mr. Brian Long is too occupied with work these days...I'm sure he has a legitimate reason." Harrow tried to comfort her, not knowing what to say. He glanced at Becky who hurriedly wiped her tears, sighed, grabbed a tissue, then added,"There's a lot going in A City these days. And you know, Mr. Brian Long's work drifts in between

Falling from nobility, Zen Luo became a humble slave and served as a human punchbag for his former cousins. Inadvertently, he found a way to refine himself into a weapon and a legend started because of that. With a strong belief in never surrender, he strove for revenges and pursued big dreams. Warriors from various clans contended for hegemony and the world was stirred. Relying on the body that was comparable to a powerful weapon, Zen beat his numerous enemies on his way to the immortality. Would he succeed eventually?

areful where you walk," he said affectionately.

That comfort somehow induced Becky's tears. With incredible strength, she pushed away Brian, as she broke down,"It's none of your business. If you don't want to see me, then well you shouldn't have come in the first place."

Brian frowned slightly, squinted his eyes, and coldly asked,"Now what is it? Why do you insist on throwing a tantrum with me every time we meet?"

Upon hearing this, her tears streamed down the face in a steady line; her lips began shivering; her concealed fear and sorrow all burst out. She couldn't keep herself together any longer, as she yelled out with all of her remaining energy,"Yes, yes. I am moody; I am peevish. If you think of me that way, you shouldn't have come to see me in the first place."

Her words managed to incite Brian's rage. Furiously he stood up and left after saying,"Go take some rest, maybe then you will get some perspective."

Now Becky just could not hold in her sorrow and tears. But instead of asking Brian to stay, she simply stood up, refraining herself from exposing her emotions, she began tumbling towards the bedroom with great caution. Yet just when Brian opened the door to leave, he heard another loud "bang", and then the crash and break sound of glass shattering against the floor. He was overpowered with concern.
