Chapter 198
Catherine's POV
After I finished breakfast, I planned to ask Gina about the origin of the necklace.
I had a big fight with Gina at the launch yesterday. However, we had made a deal. Therefore, I should still fulfill it.
I called Gina on the way, and she picked up.
"What is it?" Gina played innocent.
"What do you think? Don't you think you owean explanation about my necklace?" I hated her pretentious tone. We had reached an agreement. Was she going to act shamelessly now?
"Cto me, and I'll tell you." Gina said.
I drove to the five-star hotel Gina mentioned. After parking the car, I quickly ran to the elevator in the hall.
I was very anxious, since I wanted to know the truth badly.
When I cto the luxurious private room on the top floor, I saw that the door was not locked. So, I reached out and pushed the door open.
After walking in, I heard someone close the door behind me.
I reacted and pounced instinctively to unlock the door. However, the door was firmly locked.
I shouted angrily, "Gina, what are you up to now? Open the door! Now!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe person outside held the door tightly without answering me.
I was so furious that I kicked the door twice. But it only made my toes painful.
"Gina, I am warning you! If you dare to play any more tricks, I will..."
"Cathy..." Just as I was about to warn Gina, I heard someone calling my nfrom behind.
I turned my head at once and saw Harley. His face was flushed, and his eyes were red. He used one of his hands to prop against the bedroom door while looking at me.
"Harley? Why are you here?" I was stunned. I did not expect that there was a man in the room, and the man was Harley no less.
"Cathy, is it you? Am I dreaming?" Harley walked quickly to me. His face was full of joy, and his gaze was full of strong emotions and desires.
I took a step back in panic. I asked, "What happened to you? Are you sick? You are burning up!"
Harley suddenly grabbed my hand which was reaching out to touch his forehead. The next second, he pulledinto his arms.
He huggedtightly with both his hands. "You are here. It's really you. I am not dreaming. I'm so glad you are here."
"Don't be like this, Harley. Let go of me!" I trembled with fear. I didn't expect him to suddenly hug me. Moreover, he was already kissing my neck.
He loosened his grip and said, "I'm feeling very uncomfortable. I don't know what's wrong with me. I feel even more uncomfortable looking at you now."
"It's Gina... Were you with her yesterday?" I was very clear-headed.
When I saw Harley here, I suspected Gina. Looking at Harley's appearance, I was even more certain that Harley was set up by Gina.
Harley pressed his head and pondered. He said, "I was drinking with my friend. I didn't see Gina. Cathy, why are you bringing her up again? Don't you hate her?"
"She askedto be here. It must have something to do with her!"
I said angrily, "Harley, hold on for a moment. I'll call someone now!"
After I finished speaking, I took out my phone and wanted to call Blake for help.
However, when I took out my phone, I found that there was no signal.
What was going on? Was it Gina again?
I was stunned. I felt like I fell into Gina's trap.
I gave up on calling and turned around to knock on the door. However, just as I was about to do it, Harley, who was behind me, pressed tightly againstagain.
"Cathy, lethug you once more. I'm feeling so uncomfortable. Cathy, I like you. I've always liked you. Can't you feel it? I know I'm not a match for Blake, but I love you! Can't you consider me?"
I was hugged by Harley from behind. I was so anxious that I did not feel the instinctive fear.
Harley didn't mean to hurt me. He was drugged and couldn't control himself. The most important thing now was to detoxify Harley.
Suddenly, an idea hit me. He should take a cold shower!
I thought it was a good idea.
Thus, I quickly pried open his fingers with mine. "Harley, pull yourself together. Let go of me!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHarley was muddleheaded. He huggedand said, "Cathy, I won't let go. I will never let go. I love you!"
"Not now! You can't do this. Otherwise, Gina will get her way! Let go of me!" I knew it was useless to reason with him now.
His force of will was getting weaker, and in the end, perhaps he would lose control totally and become as scary as Blake was five years ago.
Simages flashed through my brain quickly. I found that my blurred memories from five years ago seemed to have been clear for a moment.
"Cathy, don't be so cold to me. I'm not feeling well. Can you help me?"
"Harley, if you continue to be like this, I'll be angry!" I warned him loudly on purpose, hoping it would work.
"I like the way you look when you are angry."
"Then I'm sorry!" I lowered my head, opened my mouth, and bit his arm.
As expected, the pain woke him up a little. He loosened his grip, and I took the opportunity to run away from him.
I quickly ran into the bathroom. I filled the bathtub with cold water while holding a basin.
I cout with a basin of water and splashed it fiercely at Harley, who was rushing at me.
Under the stimulation of the cold water, Harley woke up. He gasped for breath and leaned against the wall, looking atin pain. "Cathy, you splashed water on me? Do you hatethat much?"
"Harley, do you have any idea what you're going to do to me? You're not that kind of person. Wake up. Don't walk into her trap!" I shouted at him angrily.
Harley sat down on the ground. "Cathy, if you don't have feelings for me, just tell me. I can handle it."
I smiled bitterly, "Harley, you know you and I are impossible."
"Yes. Because you gave birth to two kids for Blake!" Harley looked atwith sadness. "You have two kids. Who am I to compete with him? Cathy, I'm so miserable."
"Harley, helpout here. Let's go inside and put yourself in cold water, OK? You can't continue to be like this." I grabbed his arm and tried to drag him up from the ground.
