Honey You Are My Lucky Star (Callen and Chelsea)

Chapter 58

"You want to have coffee with them? What's wrong with you?" Maisy's furious.

She's still as bad-tempered as ever. I wonder how Callen puts up with her.

Callen probably notices the contempt in my eyes, so he shakes off Maisy's hand and says impatiently, "If you want, you can go home now!"

In the end, we come to a cafe. Callen and Miasy are sitting across from Harrison and me.

It's a nice cafe near the supermarket. There's not a lot of people here right now.

"Mr. Stewart, what's your relationship with Chelsea?" Callen suddenly asks.

It startles me. I raise my head to look at Callen, but he ignores me.

Harrison strokes my hair and says softly, "Do I need to tell you?"

"He is helping you." Maisy interrupts. "Chelsea was divorced and induced a baby. Callen just doesn't want you to be taken by her."

This woman is always so selfish. I want to

fight back, but Harrison suddenly holds my hand.

I look at him puzzledly. He smiles and says, "I know her better than any of you. Maisy, don't you ever feel guilty about breaking up a family?"

He's looking at me, but he's saying this to Maisy. I subconsciously turn to look at Maisy. She looks terrible and her hands are shaking.

"Who do you think you are? How dare you say that!" Maisy gnashes her teeth in anger.

Callen doesn't say anything. He just looks at me. I turn a blind eye to it because I don't want to have anything to do with him.

I'd rather be an accessory to Harrison than be with Callen!

"Mr. Gibbs, it pisses me off that you keep looking at my woman." Harrison narrows his eyes. He doesn't seem to care about Maisy's attitude.

I feel a little embarrassed when he says it out loud.

But Maisy explodes. She keeps questioning Callen why he was looking at me, but Callen just stays silent.

Her voice gets a lot of attention. I ask Harrison in a low voice, "Did you start the fight on purpose?"

"I was merely stating a fact," he answers calmly.

I can't believe I got the sense of grievance in what he said. Did I wrong him?

Maisy has no intention of stopping the quarrel, so Harrison and I decide to leave. When I get up, I inadvertently see Callen staring at me.

But I just ignore it again. He's Maisy's husband now, and I don't want to get involved in their marriage. I'm tired of being targeted by Maisy and I want a peaceful life.

We come out of the cafe and I speak to Harrison, "Bye."

"You should go with me," Harrison says.

It's not funny, but I'm still amused. "We're all adults. Pretending to be a couple is a game for kids."

"I don't care. Come back with me now." He looks serious.

I ignore him and turn to leave. Suddenly, someone picks me up from behind. With a scream, I look up and see Harrison's face. "Put me down! Put me down!"

My voice's so loud that all the passers- by stop to watch us.

It's really embarrsaming. I stop shouting and duck into his arms.

He puts me in the car and quickly locks the door. I sneer. "You really did a lot to stop me from escaping."

"You're worth it," he says without hesitation.

I open my mouth and then close it. I don't know what to say.

It's no big deal to go back to his villa. One sex is no different than a hundred.

When he's driving, I look down at my hand and say, "Harrison, I want you tell you something."

"Go ahead."

"I'm divorced. Even if we both know the reasons for the divorce, none of your friends or business associates will care. In their eyes, I'll always be a second-hand woman. Do you know that?"

Without getting his response, I add, "I'm saying this for your own good. I don't want people to laugh at you. I'll give you your back card back tomorrow, and I'll find a way to pay you back the money I owe you."

"If that's not enough for you, you can call me when you want to... bang me."

"That's very kind of you," he says sarcastically.

I feel awful, but I still pretend to be calm. "That's what I promised you from the

beginning."

It would have taken him more than an hour to get to his villa, but today it only took him a few minutes. The atmosphere in the car is tense. I know he's angry, but I'm not sure what he is angry about.

'Shouldn't I be the one who is sad and angry?'

'Is he mad because I broke my promise? But I have no other choice. My mother is getting older. She'll be sad if I keep single. I can't be so selfish.'

Harrison ignores me and strides into the villa. I try to catch up with him but he just closes the door.

"Harrison, open up!"

I stand outside and knock on the door, but he just ignores me. It's impossible for me to go home now. My phone's dead and I can't get a cab.

The autumn wind is soughing. I crouch in the doorway and hug myself tightly, feeling cold both physically and mentally.

I wonder what I said to make him so angry. Everything I said was for his own good, wasn't it? Even Maisy thinks I'm not good enough for him, let alone his friends.

The world has never been a place for the weak.

As I think about it, my tears keep falling down. They drip on the back of my cold hands. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

I hear the sound of the door opening and look up.
