Mr Left and Mr Right

Chapter 20 The secret upstairs

I originally thought there would be something important in this room. But in fact, on the contrary, the furnishings in the room were very simple. There were only two things in the room: a piano and a bicycle.

Both of them looked old-fashioned. The bike was one of very old styles. But its rusted places had been carefully protected.

There was a crystal picture frame on the piano, which was very nice. The person in the picture frame was very beautiful too. The young girl was wearing a white dress, leaning on the bicycle, with a pretty face and a nice smile.

I looked at the beautiful face of that girl, and felt sour in my heart. Obviously, she was the girl who lived in Jacky's heart. Both the piano and the bicycle were about the girl.

When I was holding the picture and having various thoughts in my mind, I suddenly heard Lucas’ voice “Uncle Hua!”

Jacky came back now! I was so flustered that I quickly put the photo frame back to its original place. I was in a hurry at that time. When I touched the piano, the photo frame fell to the ground with a crash.

I was even more flustered, and quickly reached out to pick up the picture frame, picking up the pieces one by one.

Then there was the sound of footsteps on the stairs. Step by step, it seemed that they were going to step me on my body. I knew Jacky was coming very soon.

I was extremely nervous. But it's impossible for me to escape. I stepped into his secret garden and broke up his picture frame. I was done.

The door opened. Jacky stood at the door with an angry face, and his eyes shot at me like knives.

"Sorry, I didn't mean it." I said weakly.

He didn't speak. He just stared at the picture frame in my hand and the debris on the ground. His eyes seemed to burst out with fire.

The next second he rushed over, grabbed the frame from my hand, held it in his hand, and trembled gently.

“I’m sorry…”

Before I finished speaking, he slapped me in the face. He seemed to have exhausted all his strength. I got hit pretty hard, having to stand against the wall. The corners of my mouth were salty. When I stretched out my hand, I found there was blood in the corner of my mouth.

It was just a photo frame. He even made such a big fire because of that. So, it could be seen that even though I was a living person, I still can't compare with an old photo. My heart had been sinking then.

"Get out! Never come back." His voice was extremely indifferent.

I went out and stopped after a few steps. I would like to tell him that during this period of time, I really thanked him for the care and warmth he gave us.

At this time, he lowered his head, knelt on the ground with one foot, and picked up the pieces I hadn't finished. His hunched body exuded great and heavy sadness.

I felt sad and distressed. Tears came out more violently. I didn't know whether I was feeling distressed for him or for myself.

I didn't say the words of thanks that I had planned to say. I knew he's fed up with me at that time and didn't want to hear me anymore.

I walked downstairs heavily and saw that the maid was stopping Lucas from coming up.

I wiped away my tears and didn’t want my child to see. But he already saw, "Mom, what's wrong with you? Are you arguing with Uncle Hua?"

I bent down and hugged Lucas. But my tears couldn’t stop. "Lucas, let's go.”

“Mom, where are we going？” Lucas asked.

I couldn't answer in a while, because I didn't know where to go either. But even if there was nowhere to go, we had to leave. Since the host let me go. I could't stay here anymore.

I walked to the door with Lucas in my arms. When I was about to go out, Lucas suddenly said, "Mom, are we really leaving? Are we not with Uncle Hua? "

My heart was aching. I did not speak, holding him and going on.

“Mom, I don’t want to leave. I want to play with Uncle Hua. Even if Uncle Hua quarrels with you, you can make up. The teacher said, “If you want to reconcile with others, just hold the hand of that person and say sorry to each other.”

Seeing that I didn't speak, Lucas began to struggle. He really desired to stay here. He said: "Mom, I don't want to go. I don't want to go back to that house. Dad will beat me, and grandma will pinch me."

When children struggled desperately, they were also powerful. I almost couldn't stand it.

"Why are you so ignorant? If you make trouble again, I'll beat you! " I cried.

“Uncle Hua! Uncle Hua！” Lucas also burst into tears. He was crying and shouting.

I guessed that Jacky on the third floor had heard Lucas' voice, but he didn't respond in the end.

The villa area was very large, and it took a long distance to walk out of the area. Lucas also slowly stopped struggling. He hugged my neck cleverly and sobbed softly.

Walking out of the villa area, I held Lucas in my arm and waited for a taxi by the roadside. But after waiting for ten minutes, there was still no car. People who lived in the villa area had cars, so taxis rarely came to this place.

It was raining again. At the beginning, it was only a few raindrops, and suddenly it became more and more heavy.

I was afraid it would be more difficult to wait for the car on a rainy day. I hugged Lucas and stood under the billboard to avoid rain. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it didn't mean to stop.

Then, a Porsche came over in the rain, and Lucas had called in surprise. "Uncle Hua ..."

But after looking at me, he shut his mouth weakly.

Jacky got out of the car under the umbrella, walked in front of me and Lucas, and stretched out his arms, "Lucas, let's go home."

Lucas did not dare to agree. He just looked at me.

I didn't want to go back, but I really had nowhere to go now. Since I didn't find a new place to stay, I couldn't cause Lucas to suffer with me.

I silently handed Lucas to Jacky. Jacky’s eyes were cold and there was no temperature at all.

He walked to the car with Lucas in his arms. But he didn't mean to ask me to go back. He only wanted to have Lucas.

I made up my mind, and said: "Lucas, you go back home with Uncle Hua now. Mom's going to do something else."

After saying that, I rushed into the rain. I would never keep staying here in that situation. I was relieved to have Jacky take care of Lucas.

After all, I had to find a place to settle my self-esteem.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
