"Yanis, I don't hate him, and I don't want him to disappear from my life!" Bonnie didn't answer the question.
Yanis patted Bonnie's back lightly and said gently, "Give him some time to calm down."
Maybe because Bonnie cried too much tonight, she was very quiet this time, just hugging Yanis and not crying anymore.
Yanis knew that nothing she said now would be of much use, so she didn't say anything, and just sat quietly with her on the sofa in the living room.
It was not after a while until Bonnie said hoarsely, "Yanis, do you think he hates me for lying to him for so long?"
Yanis turned her head to look at her. "Bonnie, it was just an accident, and it had nothing to do with you."
"But if it weren't for my mother and Gene... Gene wouldn't have quarreled with his wife and got a divorce. They wouldn't have argued in the car, and there wouldn't have been such an accident in the end."
Hearing Bonnie, Yanis was suddenly at a loss for words.
After all, she was not the one who went through all of this.
She didn't experience it personally, so she didn't even know how painful it was for Bonnie.
She was not Bonnie, so she couldn't quite understand what Bonnie was going through at that time. She could only empathize with her as much as possible.
Yanis could only comfort her, but only Bonnie knew how painful it was.
No one else could feel it in her way.
Just like she couldn't feel the depression and pain deep in Bonnie's heart.
No matter how many comforting words Yanis could say, it was less helpful than silent company.
So Yanis didn't say much to comfort Bonnie, but just sat beside her and silently accompanied her.
At least in this way, Bonnie would not be alone.
At least there was someone by her side when she was sad.
Bonnie was silent.
On Myles's side, everything turned upside down.
In the small private corner of Deep in Dream, he was drunk.
There were already many empty bottles on the small round table in front of Myles.
The cramped space was filled with the strong smell of alcohol.
Myles leaned lazily on the sofa, his clothes near his chest wet from the wine. The two waitresses were standing aside. They looked at each other and no one dared to approach him.
After all, this person was very famous in this vanity fair.
Although they were asked to come, Myles said nothing and didn't ask them to do anything. They came in and only opened the wine bottles he ordered.
Instead, Myles drank most of the wine on the table.
"Mr. Hughes, would you like something to eat?"
One of them couldn't stand it anymore, so she asked him in a low voice.
After hearing the voice, Myles stopped drinking and raised his head to glance at the two girls standing aside. "Go out."
"But…"
"Go out."
Myles interrupted them, waved his hands towards them, and said as if he was talking to himself. "No one is her. No one..."
After muttering, Myles drank more wine. Seeing that the two were still standing in the room, he narrowed his eyes, and then hooked his fingers at them. "Come here."
Haider looked at him. "Huh?"
"What do you think is so good about Bonnie? Why do I care so much about her? I can't tolerate anyone except her."
Myles frowned fiercely as he spoke. "Why can't I forget her and move on?"
Haider leaned on the sofa. "When I went to pick her up, her eyes were red from crying. What could make you both like this?"
Myles didn't answer. He silently finished smoking the cigarette in his hand and said, "She said that the accident of our parents was related to Isabel. She saw our father and Isabel together, and Mom was there at the time."
After hearing Myles's words, Haider turned abruptly to look at him. "What did you say?"
Myles said to himself, "That's why Mom and Dad divorced, and then they got into arguments while driving. That's why they had the accident. In other words, Isabel caused Mom and Dad's death."
Myles exhaled the smoke ring. "To be accurate, Bonnie is also responsible for this."
Haider frowned as if he was still digesting what Myles had just said.
The private room was so quiet that no sound could be heard except Myles' slightly rough breathing.
Myles finished his cigarette. "I treat her so well. How dare she lie to me for so long?"
"This has nothing to do with her!"
While Haider was talking, he also reached out to take a cigarette from the table. He put it up to his lips and lit it. He said gently, "This has nothing to do with Bonnie."
"So why the fuck is she taking all the responsibility? Why did she handle this all on her own? How did she think of me?"
Myles suddenly became irritable. "Why does she, Bonnie, think I will blame her? Why?"
Haider smoked silently and did not respond to Myles.
Myles seemed to get his emotions out, but he also seemed to be complaining to Haider. "I treat her so well, I even treat her like a queen, what else does she want?"
