10Later I found that I might have underestimated his appetite.He ate slowly and fastidiously.When he was eating, there were even no food stains on the sides of his mouth.But he finished a large plate of spaghetti."Did I cook too little?" I was a little embarrassed."It's me. Too hungry." When he said the last two words, he suddenly looked at me and raised his voice.My heart skipped a beat. I avoided his gaze, quickly picked up the dishes, and went to the kitchen.As soon as I finished the dishes, I turned around and found him standing at the kitchen door and looking at me with a cigarette between his teeth.Why was he acting weird tonight? It made me very uncomfortable.I tidied up and was about to leave the kitchen. I passed by him and whispered, "You love smoking so much."As soon as I said that, my foot was caught by something. I lost my balance and threw myself into his arms.We were so close suddenly. I was so nervous that I wanted to leave, but he held me down.
13Back at the rental house, I edited a message several times and finally pressed the send button.It was just one sentence."Let's get a divorce."Maybe it seemed naive to him. I had made a mistake myself, and I was the one who was not sensible enough. I had asked Williams to get married not long ago, and now I was asking him for a divorce.However, even if I wanted to keep him, I didn't have any reason. I felt that I was useless except to cause trouble for him and his family.Dr. Shepard was indeed his girlfriend as I thought last time. They worked together, ate together, and they looked so well-matched. What was I? I was nothing...I could only quit.So the kiss that night was indeed a spur-of-the-moment thing, meaningless.After sending the message, I turned off my phone and went to sleep.In the middle of the night, I was woken up by menstrual pain.I struggled to get up and got myself a hot water bag to cover my belly.While I was boiling water, I couldn't help turnin
14I bought some vegetables and went home, and cooked several dishes.He slept until noon.He was smiling while eating."Why are you smiling?"Seeing him smiling, I felt awkward."Your cooking is pretty good." He took another piece of ribs and ate it carefully."I was living alone. I didn't have any hobbies, and I liked studying food." I didn't want to say that I had only cooked my best dishes to please him."Great." He looked at me with a smile. "The food in the hospital is terrible. I've eaten it in a hurry every time, and I've never tasted it."He brushed off the bitterness of his work.I couldn't help feeling sorry for him."Well, can you go home at night when you are not on duty? Tell me in advance, and I will prepare a meal for you. Or you can tell me what you like to eat, and I will try to cook it." I even started writing down his favorite dishes.He suddenly smiled again."Why are you smiling?" I was speechless."It feels good to be married." He drank another spoo

The sound insulation effect of this room was too poor and I could hear the heavy breathing of the man next door. I used to like it, but now I only found it harsh.After a few minutes, there came the sound of tissues being pulled out, followed by the laughter of a man and a woman. I felt so numb and upset.The man living next door was my ex-boyfriend Adam Herring, and he was laughing with his current girlfriend Lara Anderson.I was still living in this small two-bedroom apartment because I had just broken up with him two weeks ago.I walked out of my bedroom, went to the cold corridor, and smoked.I took a long drag on my cigarette and I instantly found it hard to breathe. It made me shed tears.I snuffed out the cigarette and waited for about 15 minutes before I got up and returned to my bedroom.Lying on the bed, I was thinking that this was probably his parting gift to me.I thought I
6Dr. Anderson did not drive me to the subway station but directly took me downstairs to my apartment.I pretended to be unaware of it and accepted his kindness.He remembered my address. I found it interesting.When the car stopped, it was getting dark.It was good that it was getting dark. It was time to vent one's desires that had been suppressed during the day."Dr. Anderson, I'm so sorry to have kept you so long today. Are you hungry? Would you like to go upstairs and have dinner?" I sounded sincere and grateful.Inviting a strange man to go home at night implied a romantic interest.Dr. Anderson was a normal man. If he had no such interest, he would immediately reject me.If…He stared at me with deep eyes. In the darkness, his nose was straight, and he had a perfect jawline.He was way more handsome than Adam. Vanity told me that if I hooked up with him, Adam would be greatly humiliated.He thought for a while, perhaps weighing. In the end, he turned and pulled out t
11Near midnight, Dr. Anderson finally called."What's wrong?" He sounded a little anxious, a little panting. "I'm sorry. I forgot my phone at my parent's house.""It's okay." I was calm. "Good night."Before he said anything else, I hung up the phone. He had forgotten his phone at his parents' house? What a lousy excuse.The moment had passed and I no longer needed his concern.I couldn't fall asleep. When I turned on my phone, I saw a new message."I am downstairs at your apartment. If you haven't fallen asleep, let me take a look at you, so I can rest assured."It was Dr. Anderson.I was shocked.I got out of bed and walk to the window. I saw a man sitting on the edge of the flower bed under the dim street lights. He wasn't playing with his phone, but looking in the direction of my apartment.At that moment, perhaps no one had cared about me for so long that I suddenly felt moved and tempted by Dr. Anderson.I put on my pajamas and slippers and walked out like this.Whe
14Every time we quarreled, I would feel sad.But when I picked up my phone, I didn't know who I should talk to.In the end, I could only pick up my tablet and watch a hilarious variety show until I burst into tears.I devoted myself to the show wholeheartedly, and I wanted to talk to no one.Even when I received Sean's message, I didn't intend to reply to it after reading it.Later, when he sent another message, I didn't even bother to read it.I didn't know how I fell asleep. It was already midnight when I woke up. I was hungry and uncomfortable. I remembered that I hadn't had lunch or dinner.I got up, went to the refrigerator, and found some fruits and milk. I didn't turn on the lights. I squatted alone in the kitchen and ate slowly.After eating, I felt better, but couldn't fall asleep anymore. I started to read the messages sent by Sean."Have you woken up? Do you want me to pick you up at noon?""Or if you can't get up, I will bring lunch for you. What do you want to
18"It's me." After a long while, Sean finally said, "I met her several years ago, but I only had the chance to talk to her for the first time last month."After he said that, everyone was shocked, including me.They waited for him to go on."Four years ago, when I was in graduate school, I went to her school to participate in a debate competition, and she was the best debater." He sighed, waiting for others' ridicule.I was shocked.If he didn't mention this, I would have forgotten that I had such an experience."Haha, Dr. Anderson, did you go to the debate competition or see beautiful girls? How can you have remembered her for so long?""Yeah, you still remember what happened several years ago. How long have you wanted her?""Linda, do you remember Dr. Anderson?"They suddenly turned to me, and I couldn't think anymore."I don't," I whispered.Then they laughed again.I didn't remember him. At that time, I had been crazy in love with Adam. How could I pay attention to ot
