Love Me The Way I Did

Chapter 18 

“Then, why are you running away from me every time?” Gideon asked seriously. 

Gideon meant not just now but also five years ago. It was not true that Margaret’s departure had no impact on him. He just knew how to control and hide his emotions better than ordinary people. 

Therefore, everyone thought Gideon didn’t care about Margaret’s departure. However, he was the only one who knew that he cared. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have kept the mansion and stayed there for a while when he was free. He thought maybe one day she would come 

back. 

“Is this love? I don’t think so, Gideon thought, but it was really comfortable to be with Margaret. He didn’t have to think too much when being with her. Her joy and sorrow were all written on her face, and she wouldn’t hide the dissatisfaction she had about him. She was the only glimmer of his dark life at that time. 

Gideon was reluctant to give up this comfortable feeling, as if someone who had been blind for a long time could suddenly see all colors and didn’t want to give them up. 

“L..” Margaret uttered but couldn’t continue. She didn’t know how to explain her thoughts and thought it was better not to say anything than 

a bunch of nonsense 

After waiting for a long time, Gideon didn’t get the reply he wanted. He felt very suffocated and drove away immediately, leaving Margaret with a pile of dust. 

When Margaret coughed uncomfortably because of the dust, her inexplicable guilt disappeared, and she gave Gideon another nickname- lunatic. 

After five years, Gideon had become more moody and terrifying than the devil from hell. 

aybe it was because of what happened that night that Margaret didn’t see Gideon again in the next few days. 

Margaret was also calm and knew Gideon wouldn’t stay out of her life just because of her words. She reckoned he probably was waiting for some time before suddenly appearing and giving her a fatal blow, 

In order not to risk her life, Margaret decided to treat herself well and live a great life. 

However, there were always accidents that came unexpectedly, such as the pouring rain, 

Standing at the company entrance, Margaret watched people running to the roadside with umbrellas or waiting for their boyfriends to pick them up. She stood there without anything, wondering when the rain would let up. Otherwise, she couldn’t even run to the roadside and hail 

taxi. She thought, I’m afraid it’s impossible to even have a carpool now.” 

When Colin walked to the door, he saw Margaret’s helpless look and asked, “Margaret, you’re still here? No umbrella? Do you want me to give you a lift?” 

Margaret shook her head and said, “No, thanks. I’m waiting for someone to pick me up.” She was sure she couldn’t stay at the company for a long time, so she didn’t want to be too involved with her colleagues. Connections were easy to establish but difficult to break apart. 

Margaret hoped that she could say goodbye to everyone carefreely when she left instead of doing it reluctantly while hugging them with tears in her eyes. 

Colin was suspicious of Margaret’s words, but since she had said so and they were not very familiar with each other, he didn’t insist anymore and said, “The rain is too heavy. I’m afraid it will be difficult to walk on the road. Don’t worry. You can go upstairs and wait for a while.” 

“Okay,” said Margaret, smiling gratefully. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Margaret watched as the people she knew and strangers left one by one. After standing at the door for more than half an hour, the rain didn’t seem to diminish. Instead, it was getting heavier and heavier. 

She sighed in her heart. Over the years, she had become used to staying on the battlefield and had almost forgotten that there was rain. 

“Are you kidding me?” Margaret raised her head and spoke in a childish pique. She closed her eyes and was ready to walk in the heavy rain. At worst, she would be ill and could lie at home for two days. 

However, as soon as Margaret raised one of her feet, a big hand grabbed her arm and stopped her.
