As she fumbled to turn on the light, she noticed that there was someone under her balcony. Because her apartment was on the 1st floor, she could easily make out the man. Grace stood in the corner of her room, decided not to turn on the light and instead, stared at that man under her balcony.
Mason stood outside, with his car parked beside him. He leaned on the car and smoked silently. She didn’t know how long he’d been there, maybe he had just arrived, but he could have been standing for a long time. Perhaps he never left after being driven away by the security guards in the afternoon.
Grace felt utterly perplexed. She didn’t know why Mason was choosing to behave like this. Seeing as though he didn’t love her, he had no need to pretend to be hurt and explain himself. His explanation would only make both of them sad. It was a meaningless gesture.
Grace sat on the ground and stared blankly into the dark, unsure of whether to cry or laugh.
In the following days, Grace didn’t leave her apartment. When she was hungry, she would order takeout. Mason continued to lurk downstairs. Sometimes he would leave for a while but he would soon return. It seemed that he wouldn’t leave until she went out to talk to him.
Grace was tired of being confined to her home, so she called her friend to come over. When her friend came, they exchanged clothes. Then, Grace went downstairs, wearing a cap. Mason saw a woman who was leaving the building, but he thought it was the woman who had walked in, so he didn’t pay much attention to her. Therefore, Grace successfully escaped from her home and quickly went to the airport by taxi. It didn’t matter where she went, and she simply didn’t want to stay in this city any longer.
On her way to the airport, she switched on her phone to tell Sophia where she was going. When the phone had loaded, Grace found numerous missed calls, all of which were from Mason. Sophia hadn’t called her. Instead, she had sent several messages. Grace thought for a moment and then messaged Sophia, “I am going away, traveling. We may lose touch for a few days, but I will call you, don’t worry.”
After answering Sophia, she found a message from Mason. She hesitated for a while and then read it, “I’m sorry, I miss you!”
Grace became suddenly overwhelmed with sadness and began to question him in her mind. What was his purpose? He had already said that all he wanted to be her body. Why was he trying to show her affection again and again? Everything he had done had caused her nothing but misery. Did he still want to sleep with her? Grace closed her eyes and tried to block out any thoughts about Mason.
To her surprise, she received another message. She thought it would be from Sophia, but discovered that it was from an unknown number which read, “It’s Emma. I want to talk with you about everything that’s happened in the last few days. I want to say sorry. I hope you can give me a chance to talk with you!”
Grace ignored it. She thought it was unnecessary to explain herself. Then, she switched her phone off and got out of the car at the airport.
To her surprise, after buying her ticket, Grace found Emma standing just a few feet away from her. Emma seemed to have been waiting for her. She was still wearing her sportswear and looked like a student, very pure and innocent. Grace paused and didn’t know what to do.
Emma walked over to her, “Can we talk?” she said firmly.
Grace shifted uncomfortably. She was here now, waiting for her, what could she do?
Grace and Emma went to a small café and found a booth by the window. Grace scanned the room quickly and then asked suspiciously, “How did you know I would be at the airport?”
Emma smiled and replied, “Because I had planned to visit you at your home, then I saw you walk out with sunglasses and get into a car. I followed you and waited for you while you bought your ticket.” A waiter walked over to them. Grace ordered a cappuccino. Emma paused for a while and also ordered one. The waiter noted it down and walked away. Emma said to Grace, “I didn’t know that you also like to drink cappuccino.”
Grace thought that Emma was playing up to her, but she considered it was unnecessary to call her out on it. Grace lowered her head and put her bag on her lap, pretending to sort through it in order not to appear uncomfortable.
“Do you know the meaning of cappuccino?” Emma said coolly.
Grace didn’t answer her, but Emma continued, “Cappuccino is bittersweet, but consistent, much like love can be. If you are willing to be consistent and patient, you can be rewarded with satisfaction.”
Grace didn’t know whether Emma’s words meant anything to her or not. She lifted her head and glanced at Emma, but could not think of an intelligent response, so looked down at her bag again.
“Is it all right?” Emma questioned. There was still no answer. Emma had already suspected that Grace was passionless. She didn’t know what to do, so she looked away and interlocked her fingers, resting them on the table. “I think waiting is wonderful. Good faith moves mountains and always provides good results just as long as you can be patient. I don’t know why you are unwilling to wait. Actually, I think my brother…”
“You came here for your brother?” Grace interrupted coldly. She had decided she had given up on the idea of a future with Mason forever. She didn’t want any explanation.
Emma was stunned. She looked down again at her hands, “I think the problems between you and my brother were caused by me, mostly.”
“You think too much.” Grace interrupted her again because she didn’t want to feel embarrassed in front of Emma even if her problems were indeed caused by Emma’s sudden appearance in their lives. She was jealous, so of course, there were miscommunications between her and Mason, which were made even more complicated by Emma. However, if she admitted that, she would be acknowledging that she thought Emma was far more charming than Grace, and that’s why she was so jealous of her. She couldn’t possibly do that, and she would lose face in front of her rival.
Grace was always so weak in front of her rival in love. She could no longer continue to feel like such a loser.
Interrupted again by Grace, Emma finally knew that Grace didn’t care about what she had to say. She could tell that Grace had decided to give up.
However, Emma still held so much guilt in her heart, so she felt compelled to say, “Even if it is not my fault, Mason is still my brother. I don’t want you to destroy his happiness because of a misunderstanding. I have a responsibility to fight for my brother.”
Grace looked at Emma, doubtfully. She was clearly struggling to find any truth in what Emma was saying. She had come to persuade Grace that Mason was a good man and to forgive him, but was Emma actually sincere, or did she have an ulterior motive?
Emma noticed Grace finally looked up at her and continued to speak, “I think my brother really loves you. I have never seen him care about another woman in such a way.”
