A Trust-fund Baby novel Chapter 50

“Judson, I love you, but I also hate you. Why do you come to find me now?” Diana was struggling while she was walking to her house.

Diana raised her head and looked at the sky. Then she took a deep breath. She was painful and troubled.

When Diana walked upstairs, she saw Charles smoking there.

“Charles…You?” Diana looked at him astonishingly because she was unaware when Charles was here.

Charles smiled, took a deep breath and said to himself, “When we first met, I watched the movie The Ex-file which had a sad ending. The hero and heroine loved each other, but they broke up. At that time, I thought the ending was sorrowful. There is something that we can’t do it. If we do it, we can never go back.”

Charles paused and continued, “Diana, do you think that it is a bad ending? The hero and heroine should be together. Do you think so?”

Charles burst into tears…

Diana knew what Charles meant. She had watched the movie, too. After she got divorced with Judson, she watched it sadly. It hit her that Charles was like the man who took care of heroine after she broke up with the hero.

By thinking that, Diana shook. She suddenly realized the decision that Charles made. She looked at with mixed feelings and apologized, “Charles, I am so sorry. I can’t forget him. I still want to be with him. I am really sorry, really.”

Charles shook his head with a smile on his face, he took a deep breath and said, “Go and find him, please. You’re a good girl, Diana. Though I just met Just met him for once, I can tell that he loves you very much from his eyes. And I know your choice when you got in his car. You don’t need to worry about me. I even haven’t touched your hands.”

Charles kept smiling and said, “Diana, I hope we are still good friends.”

Diana cried, shook his hand and said, “Thank you!”

After shaking hands with Diana, Charles came back to his home. He walked few steps, turned around and waved to Diana. He said, “I am leaving. I wish you can be happy.”

Seeing Charles off, Diana had mixed feelings. And she said to herself, “Sorry, Charles. And thank you. You are my only friend in SKY city.

……

When Charles walked away, he found that the taxi that drove Diana home was still there. He paused for a second, and then he knocked the window of the taxi and asked, “Sir, could you drive me to the place where the girl got in your car?”

The taxi driver was surprised and said, “Oh…”

Charles said nothing but gave the driver 200 yuan.

More than ten minutes later, at the place where Judson smoked, the taxi that drove Diana away was back. Judson was stunning at the coming taxi.

It was Diana’ boyfriend who went shopping with her this afternoon rather than Diana got of the taxi. It was Charles.

The taxi left, and Charles walked to Judson. Looking at the standing Judson, he laughed and then punched him on his face.

Judson bled. When he wanted to fight back, Charles said, “This is for Diana.”

Then he punched Charles again and said, “This is for the girl with you.”

After he finished, he looked at Judson who stood still and asked, “Do you have a cigarette? Give me one. I don’t have any.”

……

Judson smoked and asked, “What do you mean?”

Charles smoked and sighed, “I mean nothing. When Diana came back home, I broke up with him. By the way, I haven’t hold Diana’s hands during the month when we dated. I love her so much. But she loves you, though you have broken up with her for six months. Fuck.”

Judson understood what he meant suddenly. He apologized, “Sorry.”

Charles stopped him and said, “You don’t need to apologize to me. Who are you? The CEO of SKY Group? Take it easy, Diana doesn’t know it yet. And don’t be surprised. You check who I am this afternoon, and I check yours. It is equal.”

“I heard that you married into and lived with Diana’s family for a year. It was impressive. It is impossible that you don’t love Diana from the bottom of your heart. So, I give up. But you shouldn’t be satisfied. If you hurt Diana in the future, I’ll be back. I’ll go abroad tomorrow. I have a fucking unhappy trip by going back to me home country.” Charles dropped his cigarette and crushed it underfoot. And then he asked Judson for another one.

Judson had a sense of crisis because Charles was excellent around Diana. He found it tricky because he thought Charles wasn’t as simple as he looked like.

Judson was quiet for a second. Then he said, “I won’t let of her this time. I won’t let go of her in the rest of my life. You have no chance. You better give up.”

Charles said, “I am leaving. Please don’t invite me to your wedding, or I will punch you when I see you.”

Charles crushed his cigarette underfoot and left.

After Charles disappeared in the night，Judson said to himself, “He’s interesting. There are a lot of talents in SKY city. But you don’t have the chance to be back to Diana.

……

Back to home, Diana did not know why she said she wanted to break up with Charles. But that was her idea and she did not want to lie to him. She could only love one man, Judson. She could love nobody else but him, even though other men were excellent.

“Judson, could you stop breaking my heart?”

Sitting alone, Diana said to herself.
