Chapter 175 Overjoyed
Chapter 175 Overjoyed
“Mark, I couldn’t attend your birthday party, so I bought a small gift for you. I hope you like it.”
Elaine quickly takes out a beautifully wrapped gift from her bag and passes it to Mark.
Mark’s face brightens up and he reaches out his hand to take the gift, “Elaine, thank you so much. You even think of me when you’re out on business trip...”
“Of course, I think of you every day!” Elaine blurts out unexpectedly.
After finishing her words, she stuns herself.
Oh damn, my mouth. Why does my mouth never know when to shut up?
She is embarrassed! And this is so humiliating!
Hazel bursts out laughing and immediately lowers her head to drink her coffee.
Mark’s blushes slightly, and his face is full of joy. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
After chatting casually for half an hour, the three of them walk out of the coffee shop.
Elaine is a simple-minded person; she accidentally steps on a small stone.
“Ouch!” Her body trembles a little as she grunts in pain.
“Be careful.” Mark holds her arm gently and she is startled.
“Are you fine, Elaine? You didn’t sprain your ankle, right?
Elaine wiggles her foot and says with a smile, “Heh Heh, I’m fine. I didn’t sprain my ankle. Thank you, Mark.”
Mark smiles gently, “I’m glad you’re fine. Be careful next time when you walk.”
Hazel purposely annoys Elaine, “Elaine is an idiot who has no sense of direction and doesn’t know how to look at the road.”
Elaine rolls her eyes, wanting to talk back. But she doesn’t want to look fierce in front of Mark.
Mark hesitates for a moment.
Shall he let go of Elaine, or not?
In the end, he decides to hold Elaine’s little hand. He turns his face to the other side as he is embarrassed to look at Elaine, and they continue walking.
Elaine blinks her big eyes and looks at it.
Is this really happening?
Mark is holding her hand?
Wow, that’s shocking!
Elaine looks at Hazel as she can’t believe this is happening. Hazel purses her mouth in a self-satisfied smirk and nods.
Mark is tense, so he remains silent while holding her hand. It takes ten minutes just to walk a few hundred meters.
Finally, he reluctantly let go of Elaine’s hand and says, “Elaine, Hazel, I’ll be waiting for you both at Irvine University.”
Hazel nods her head and grins, “Okay, okay. You’ll have to treat us when we go to Irvine University.”
“Well, sure.” Mark nods gently and can’t help looking at Elaine.
Elaine lowers her head and her face turns red. She is so excited that Mark has been holding her hand all the way.
After that, Elaine directly rushes into her house before Hazel has the chance to speak.
“Oh, come on. This woman gets this excited just because someone holds her hand? Really, that’s too scary.”
Hazel shakes her head and walks into the house. The more she thinks of it, the funnier she feels.
Looking at Mark’s attitude today... it is obvious that he likes Elaine too.
This fool, Elaine, has been having a crush on Mark since forever, yet she doesn’t even have the courage to confess.
Hazel follows Elaine inside and sees her running around the house like a mouse.
“Mark held my hand! Mark held my hand! Mark held my hand!”
Elaine giggles happily. She raises her hand up and stares at it.
Hazel shakes her head and sighs, “Look at how crazy you are! It seems you’ve been having a crush on Mark to the point where you’re obsessed now. Poor thing.”
Elaine turns her head to face Hazel, and her eyes shine brightly, “Hazel, do you think Mark likes me a little now?”
“What do you mean a little? Judging from how he looked at you, he should have liked you for a long time. I think, he likes you a lot!”
Elaine grins with joy, holding her head as she almost faints.
This is too much for her. She is overjoyed.
But...
Elaine finally comes back to reality and her face is sullen.
“Wait, Hazel. I saw him with his girlfriend a few days ago, when I was eating spicy hot pot. That girl is beautiful and seems intelligent. In short, she is better than me. It has only been a few days, how could he suddenly like me?”
Hazel shakes her head, “I don’t know about that. But looking at how Mark treats you today, it seems to me that he likes you very much.”
Elaine mutters, “I really hope my favorite senior, Mark, isn’t a womanizer.”
“Then, what would you do if he isn’t a womanizer and he truly likes you?”
“I...” Elaine pauses.
Yeah, what is she going to do about it?
She is still confused about her relationship with Emmett. Leaving aside the incident of losing her virginity, Emmett’s reluctance to let her go is a nuisance.
Emmett says that he likes her, loves her and wants to win her heart.
He says to give him three months and he will try to make her fall in love with him.
Three months later, if she still isn’t in love with him, he will let her go.
Elaine thinks of it, pouts her mouth and says, “Three months later... I can pursue Mark again, right? I just felt that I don’t have the right to like him. Look at me now. I’m not even a virgin anymore. I despise myself so much.”
Forget that she isn’t a virgin anymore, she even experiences such an intoxicated orgasm in his embrace.
This... is just too humiliating.
Is there a devil hidden inside every woman’s world?
In the face of the most primitive desire of mankind evokes, the devil inside will show up, and controls every rational thought?
Hazel doesn’t care, “The people I despise the most are the people who think the same as you. In today’s society, losing virginity doesn’t define your worth. Haven’t you heard? If you want to look for a virgin, you can find it in the kindergarten. Nowadays, who still cares about the hymen? Only you, think this is so important. Look at the ladies from our batch, there’s no virgin left. Aren’t you a fool! Don’t worry about this anymore. In fact, I think if a guy really likes and loves you sincerely, he wouldn’t care about your past at all. A man who only wants a virgin doesn’t truly love you. He is just another selfish guy with a virgin complex. Oh, it’s unfair for men to put their arms around and sleep with one woman after another. Why should women only have one man in their lives? Also, didn’t I tell you that many women are like this? Before getting married, they’ll go to the hospital for a hymen repair surgery. If Mark is really taken by you later, just have a repair surgery then. What’s the big deal?”
Hazel’s long speech makes her break out in cold sweat.
“I just think that... it’s not good to lie to him.”
“You idiot! Elaine, you’re such a fool! Don’t tell anyone you’re my best friend, you’ll embarrass me!”
The both of them chat casually for a while, and Hazel goes back home.
When Ellie comes back after work and sees that her sister is home, she rushes over with joy, “Elaine, you came back just in time. I’ve been starving myself these few days because I have no money to eat. Could you lend me some?
Even if she says to borrow, she has never once returned the money.
“Didn’t I give you half of the pocket money father gave me? You spent it all again?”
“Well, I bought a lipstick the other day so I don’t have any left. Can you lend me again? I’ll repay your money with interest next time.”
Elaine sighs. She takes out two notes from her wallet and passes it to Ellie.
After giving the money, Elaine grits her teeth and says, “Don’t you know how to greet your elder sister when you ask her for money?”
Ellie feels delighted, she hides inside her room with the money in her hand and grins, “You’re so short. If you’re taller than me, I’ll definitely greet you, sister.”
To greet your own sister according to height, what nonsense is this?
Elaine’s father returns home, and it is already past nine o’clock at night. He drinks some beer with his colleagues at a roadside stall after work. When he comes back, he staggers to his feet and goes straight into his bedroom.
“Dad, here’s some water for you. Drink it before you go to bed.”
Elaine delivers a cup of warm water to her father’s mouth.
Her father replies in a daze, “Hmm.” He gets up to drink the water, and goes straight to sleep.
He snores loudly.
Elaine takes out her father’s socks and picks up the shirt that he threw on the ground. Then, she heads to the balcony to wash the clothes.
