A Vengeful Girl novel Chapter 157

Bun wanted to say something, but had no idea how to respond. She smiled wryly. She didn't even know herself why she didn't like Paul as much anymore.

Honestly, she didn't know the answer at all.

"Are you in love with someone else now?" Paul asked.

"No, I'm not. We didn't even have an established relationship." Bun answered.

Surprised at Bun's reply, Paul lowered his eyes.

"Yes, you're right. You're not even my girlfriend. It's all my fault. Can I ask one more question? If Brian hadn't shown up, would you be my girlfriend?"

Ignoring his question, Bun replied bluntly, "but he did show up."

Taken aback, Paul pursed his lips with a forced smile and nodded.

"Bun, I only wish for your happiness. I really hope Brian will be a good choice for you." Paul said. Bun suddenly grabbed him by the shoulders.

"I'm not with Brian yet, don't speak so carelessly. I believe you will meet the one for you as well." Bun said.

"All right. Please take this necklace. It's my gift to you as a friend." Paul said, handing her a beautiful, expensive-looking necklace.

"Thank you, Paul. But I don't think it's a good idea. I cannot accept this because we're not in a relationship." Bun replied.

"Bun, don't talk like that. If we can't be together, then we can at least be friends. I just want to express my love to you. If you don't feel the same way, I'll let it go."

Bun got teary-eyed. She fervently loved Paul in the past, but her feelings had faded with time.

"Paul, please don't say that. It makes me feel bad."

"Can I have one last hug? Just as we did when we were young." Paul pleaded.

Bun gave him a big hug. Meeting each other in their teens, Bun and Paul grew up together. Paul always cared for Bun until he started working for Charles and Bun joined the army.

Paul felt a bit bitter when Bun refused his necklace. He didn't mention that he had prepared it a long time ago, but failed to get the courage to give it to her. Now that he finally did, he was rejected.

He knew he could never ask Bun to be his girlfriend again.

Bun couldn't help crying as she walked away. She had no words to describe her emotions, nor did she know how to talk about it. She felt sorry for Paul. After all, they had mutual feelings for each other in the past.

Linda got up early morning the next day. It was quite rare that she woke up before Charles. Linda had to get up early, because she needed to get to the school by seven o'clock, half an hour earlier than the scheduled morning exercise.

Staring at the long eyelashes of the slumbering man in bed, Linda decided to play a trick on him. She reached out her hand and pinched Charles' nose.

"You are naughty, My Lady." Charles said unexpectedly.

Linda blinked in surprise. "You weren't asleep?"

"I just wanted to have a little more time with you."

Charles replied.

Shaking his head slightly, Charles got up to push Linda onto the mattress. This woman is sneaky. It seems alright for her to play tricks, but it's unacceptable when I do. Charles thought.

"Tell me, how can I fool you?" Charles asked.

"Let's talk about sleep. It's time to get up, or I'll be late for work."

"It's no big deal to be late. How about we do something fun first?"

"Get off, Charles! I will be exhausted if we do."

Charles couldn't help grinning at Linda's words. He got up from the bed, slightly shaking his head. It was already seven o'clock. Linda didn't have much time, so she hurriedly brushed her teeth and washed her face, leaving in a rush.

Bun was already at the gate, waiting for Linda in the car. Linda noticed Bun's bloodshot eyes the moment she got in.

Her eyes are so swollen. Is it possible she spent the night crying? Damn it! What happened between Paul and Bun yesterday? Why did she turn out like this? Linda thought.

She asked, "Bun, what's wrong? Why are your eyes so red today?"

"I'm fine." Bun replied and shook her head with a forced smile.

Linda realized that Bun didn't want to talk, so she stopped asking. After all, it was a private matter.

Bun didn't know why she felt so bad. As time passed by, she just felt sorry that things couldn't go back to the way things were.

She needed to vent to someone.

"My Lady, " Bun started. "Paul confessed to me last night."
