Please, Love Me Again

Chapter 88: Indeed, It's Funny

The hand that was holding the woman and bracing on the bed balled tightly, making her feel a horrible pain on her chin. But she did not complain or fight back. She allowed him to do what he wanted. Since fighting back and rejecting him were useless, then, it was better to stay like dead.

Chen Lei was stunned for a moment upon hearing her words. It pierced his heart like billions of daggers, slicing his heart apart. But it only lasted for several seconds. Instead of stopping himself, he instead smirked devilishly and said, "Geneva, when you act like this, it actually hurts me. But, my heart,,, auh, you have been breaking it. It is already a use of pain and hatred from other people, especially from you. From the beginning up to the end, every time I tried to reminisce about our past, it was only giving me a heart-wrenching pain. It tortures me every day, especially during my sleep. You tell me. Do you think threatening me like this is worth it? None! It's no use! No matter how you mend the hole in my heart, you can't return it to its original form. A hole in the heart cannot be covered. It will stay there forever and will only grow bigger if you create a chance."

Geneva smiled bitterly and gave the man a lifeless stare. "Chen Lei, you are hopeless. You better give up forcing yourself on me. You and I have long been over… and it's your fault."

"My fault?" Chen Lei buried his face on her chest and giggled for several seconds. "My fault? How did it become my fault?" The man once again faced her and gripped her chin even tighter. He could feel his nail digging on her skin.

The woman could not withstand the pain. Though unwilling, her tears emerged in the edges of her eyes and rolled down on her cheeks, dropping them with a plop on the pillow.

"You're actually crying?" The man answered it coldly. "Huh, you actually cried in front of me? How is that possible? Weren't you tough? Why crying? Do I have to feel proud of myself because I succeeded in making you cry?"

Geneva blinked her eyes. And when she opened them again, despair and disappointment filled her eyes.

"What kind of look is that? Want to deceive me by that look again? Have you not done enough deceiving from the very beginning, huh?"

"Chen Lei, stop this. It hurts." Geneva begged through her eyes.

"It hurts?" Chen Lei laughed bitterly. "Does it really hurt? How hurtful it is? I just pinched your chin and you already complained it's hurt? Will that pain be enough to appease my heart? Huh? Is it enough to comfort me? My heart has been bleeding for six whole years even until now. How are you going to compensate me for it? Your pain is nothing for the pain I suffer! You said I'm heartless? Then you are the most vicious woman in this universe!"

"Yes. I am the most vicious woman in the universe." The woman's chest heaved up and down abnormally. Obviously, she could barely contain her emotions, causing her to chase after her breathing. She spoke softly with difficulty. "So, if I were you, I wouldn't do something despicable like this. Don't force yourself on me. Otherwise, I will show how vicious I am."

"Do you think you can threaten me?"

Geneva shook her head. "There's nothing that can threaten you. I am aware of that. I just want to tell you. I will never forgive you. I will hate you forever even for next and next lives.,"

Chen Lei chuckled desperately. His eyes narrowed with his lips reached into his ears. His face flushed red. "You really hate me that much? Huh, I can't really do anything about you. I'm alive but I feel I am worse than dead one. I was killed by you again and again. Why? What's wrong with me for you to hurt me this much? I gave everything to you but you just used me. Why?"

"I don't understand what you are talking about." Tears dropped from her eyes continuously in silence. "It's clear you hurt me first! You touched me and ruined my future. But what did I get in the end? Nothing! I even lost myself."

"Don't push the blame on me!" Chen Lei crawled up and punched the pillow again. This time, it was closer to her head. "A woman like you is really good at pretending and flirting with men. You used your beauty and sweet tongue to get us hooked and then made a big fool in the end. So funny. Even a great man like me was no exception. I still fell for you."

"Indeed. It's funny." Geneva couldn't help but laugh upon hearing his long but baseless speech. "President Chen, don't you think your words sound so funny?"

"What are you trying to say?"

"We both know you understand what I mean."

Chen Lei's ears heard footsteps in the hallway and Allen's voice came banging on the door. "Uncle! Uncle! Open the door! Is Geneva inside? Open the door!"

"I'm here. Allen, please help me." Geneva called out softly. She had no strength to even scream louder. She was like a withered vegetable in her state. "I don't want to stay here. Please, take me away."

Chen Lei's eyes welled up. He did not show or speak out the pain in his heart but no words could describe his sorrow and suffering. Seeing the woman in such a state and hearing her words, the man's heart was stabbed a million times.

Chen Lei buried his face on her chest again. He stayed in that position while he heard the two calling out for each other's name though the one outside could not hear them. It was noisy in his ears but he endured it. After all, the noise was nothing to the turmoil in his heart.

Why? He wanted to torture the woman, but why it's himself was the one being emotionally tortured in the end. As if he just picked up a stone and hit it on his own head.

"I am really a pathetic man." Chen Lei thought in his mind. Sniffing, he slowly moved and got off the bed. Geneva also moved and sat up on her own in a very exhausted and slow motion, waiting for the man to open the door.

Whoever the people waiting outside, she no longer cares if they saw them in one room together. What she cared about was to disappear in that room right away.

Geneva combed her hair and wiped her tears away. Though she didn't care what others would think of her, at least, she would not allow herself to look so pathetic in the eyes of everybody.

"Old Kriz, where's the key!" Allen shouted from outside. "Open the door!"

"Second Young Master, this is the young master's room. You ask me to open it, it doesn't seem right. The young master will get mad." Old Kriz replied. A bunch of keys were in his hands but he was reluctant to obey Allen. After all, Chen Lei was the voice of the house. An order like this was only valid when the command came out from his mouth itself.

"Allen, she is being taken away by someone else." Jasper's voice came. "I was there when someone took her and it wasn't your uncle. I believe she is not inside. Let's look somewhere else."

"We already search everywhere. Where do you think that rascal hid her?" Allen said? While everyone was confronting outside the devil's room, Chen Lei and Jerry we're just leaning against the wall with their arms crossed over their chest. Both were calm.

"What are you waiting for? Open the door." Geneva said, pointing at the door weakly.

"Do you want to leave my room under their eyes? Are you not afraid of ruining your reputation? An unmarried woman stayed in a locked room. What do you think they will think about you?"

"I care none... My reputation?" Geneva giggled bitterly and got down the bed. While coming over, she added dejectedly, "My reputation is nothing important. It's been long ruined. Chen Lei, you should not ask about that thing anymore. My reputation… has been ruined by you long ago."

Chen Lei and Geneva stared at each other for a while. The man was unable to meet the woman for a bit longer. He looked away uncomfortably, jaws tightened, hands balled on his sides.

"If you don't want to open it. I will! I will take the responsibility." Allen snatched the keys from Old Kriz's hands and moved to unlock the door. But before he could open the door, it was pulled open from the inside, exposing the weak and worn-out appearance of the woman.

"Geneva, my God! What happened to you?" Allen froze in the doorway, eyes popping wide in disbelief. Just like Allen, everyone including Jasper was nailed to the floor, shocked to see her pitiful state. In their minds, absurd thoughts run around their heads.

Geneva smiled lifelessly. "Allen, I'm tired. Send me back home. I don't want to stay here any further. I want to leave right away."

"Fine. Fine. We will leave right now." Allen pulled himself together and tried his best to calm down. Holding the woman's arm, he gave Chen Lei a murderous glare. "You are so great. What a good man. Geneva let's go."

"Okay... Let's go." Geneva nodded.

"I will take you home." Chen Lei offered gently.

"No need. Have you not enough torturing her?" Allen glared over. "She doesn't need you!"

A deafening silence occurred in the hallway. The nephew and the uncle gave each other an indifferent look. But at that time, Chen Lei's look was slightly more gentle than Allen.

Geneva tapped the man's shoulder. "Allen, please, take me away from here."

"Let's go."

"I will go with you." Jasper interjected and came over to the other side to help Geneva walk properly. None of them paid attention to Jerry.

The three had just taken a single step when Geneva's legs weakened and she fainted.
