Chapter 48

♡ Lauren’s POV ♡ The sister was "wonderful". Trying to steal my "boyfriend" on our first date. Chris shrugged at me. I feel like when this is over, I need to buy him a big meal to make up for what he went through today. After dinner, Chris and I helped my mother wash the dishes. The other two were sitting on the sofa playing with their phones. As I took my luggage and wanted to go to my room, my mother looked at me with guilty eyes. I suddenly have a bad feeling about this. "Cami, tonight you and Chris will sleep in the guest room on the third floor.” Mother stammered out the words. I was so shocked that I stood there for five minutes, maybe a minute. I can't believe when I get home this time, not only do I not have my favorite cookies, I don't even have my own room. The third floor and the fourth floor are both two rooms, and the third floor is usually used as a guest room. My mother and I lived on the fourth floor, and my mother decorated my room on the fourth floor as a princess room. That's where I feel safest. "Why? Why can't I sleep in my room? "I asked, puzzled. "Oh, these rooms of yours are so ugly. That's the only one that fits me. It's a far cry from my previous room, but I can live with it.” Lisa said as she played a game on her phone. "Can't stand you go to live in a hotel, live in my home why? "I finally could not help Shouting at that so-called sister. "How did you talk to your sister? Isn't it just a room? What's wrong with your sister? Your sister is so young.” "The man began, in a tone of lecture. He's never been a father to me. Why should I take care of this fucking sister. She is a spoiled princess. Just as I was about to vent my anger, my mother took my hand.” Cami, they went broke, and it hit them hard to go from their previous life to this life. We should sympathize with their feelings. This is a. . .” I interrupted before she could finish, "Mom, you. . .” I didn't want to say anything that would hurt mom's feelings, and I didn't want to be where those two were anymore. So I dropped my bags and ran out quickly. Chris followed me in silence. I came to a bar and couldn't help going in. I sat in a chair at the bar and ordered a cocktail. Chris also ordered a whiskey and sat with me. "Isn't it ridiculous that I have a family like this? "I asked him, shaking my glass. "No, at least you have a mother who loves you very much.” It makes me sad to think of my mother. She's worked so hard for so many years, she deserves so much better. Why was she so fixated on a man like that? We talked about each other's concerns and had a few drinks. I am so lucky to have a friend like Chris by my side at such a time, who gives me someone to share my sadness and give me courage to face everything. I got up and went to the bathroom. On the way back, I passed through a dark hallway all day. By the wall of the corridor, I saw a man sitting on the ground leaning against the wall. I was going to ignore him and go by him. Just after I passed him, he grabbed my arm.” Don't go.” He said. The voice was familiar. It was Magee. I turned my head and saw that he was already on his feet. His blue eyes looked affectionately at me. His hair was unkempt and had lost its shine. He seemed to have drunk a lot and was in a state of dejection. What's wrong with him? What happened? Before I could answer my question, he suddenly pushed me against the wall and started kissing me madly. He pushed his tongue violently into my mouth, sucked and stirred it madly. His kisses took my breath away. After about five minutes, he kissed me on the lips again and muttered, "Cami, don't go, don't leave me, don't be with that man.” He started to cry a little, and I could feel his tears dripping down my neck. "What's wrong with you? "I finally got a chance to ask my question. "No, no, I am not qualified.” He suddenly moved away from me, shaking his head and running out the hallway. I followed him all the way into the crowd. Just when I thought I'd never find him again, there was a loud noise from the center of the bar. I made my way through the crowd and walked to the center, where Magee was surrounded by a group of people. "Yo, if it isn't Magee the Bully? "Polly said in an exaggerated tone to those around her. Then she turned to Magee and said, "If you get down on your knees right now and beg me, I'll consider you as my boyfriend.” Polly took a puff from her cigarette and blew it into Magee's face. "Oh, Polly, don't get carried away. His family is bankrupt now, and he is not even qualified to work as your servant.” Tracy said aloud as she made an exaggerated gesture. His family is broke? I can't imagine what happened. "He's got a nice face and figure. How's that？On your knees? "Polly approached Magee and ran her fingers over his chest. Magee grabs her arm and pushes her away.” You bankrupted my family just to get me. Don't you think you're pathetic? "Magee said coldly, his eyes full of contempt. Polly heard him and stamped her feet. "Who do you think you are now? Do you think anyone would want you but me? " I looked at Magee and lowered my head in silence, remembering what he had said earlier, "I'm not qualified.” A pang of heartache spread through my heart. My boy is going through the worst time of his life. I continued to push my way through the crowd and walked over to Magee.
