Stephen had invested so much effort into Simona, even falling for her, but she chose to believe others over him.
Now, she had even blocked him on WhatsApp. This was her way of cutting ties with him completely.
Stephen refused to accept it.
If it had been Rosa, he wouldn't care as much. He was only using her for money after all. But Simona was different. He wanted more than just her money; he wanted her.
Finally, after dialing her number repeatedly, he managed to get through.
"Simona, please don't ignore me, okay? Right now, it feels like the whole world is against me. I never realized there were so many people waiting to see me fail, trying to push me down.
"I admit that I lied to you about some things, but my feelings for you are real! I love you. I need you! I can't live without you.
"Simona, please meet me one more time. I'm at the same hotel where you first took me, in the same room. Just come see me okay?
"Even if you want to end things, it shouldn't be the way it ended this afternoon. Give me a chance to explain."
Stephen poured out his words in a rush as soon as the call connected. His voice trembled with nervousness, making it sound as if he truly loved Simona to the core.
Simona had originally planned to hang up, but she accidentally answered the call.
She had gone for a shower and didn't bring her phone with her. She only heard her phone ring when she got out and planned to reject the call and block the number.
But after hearing Stephen's lengthy speech, her pale face regained a bit of color.
If Stephen had owned up to his behavior of cheating with multiple women and all that, Simona might have seen him in a new light.
However, he was still acting like he had done nothing wrong, still trying to deceive her.
It was clear that he didn't respect her at all. He really thought that she was stupid enough to be fooled again and again.
"Stephen, I forgot to say one last thing to you this afternoon," Simona said in an unusually calm tone.
Stephen's eyes lit up at that. "Yes?"
He raked his fingers through his hair in frustration.
At that moment, Rosa suddenly called him. The last thing Stephen wanted to deal with her right now.
But knowing things with Simona were likely beyond repair, he took a deep breath and reluctantly answered the call.
"What's wrong with you? Didn't you tell me I was your only girlfriend aside from the one from university? Didn't you say you only loved me? How come you have so many girlfriends now?
"Stephen, I trusted you, but you lied to me!" Rosa's fury exploded through the phone. It was as though she wanted to skin him alive.
This outburst made Stephen take a sharp breath. How did Rosa find out?
"I've offended some people before. So, they faked the photos. Those were all edited. I've never lied to you!
"I think it must be my ex-girlfriend who hired someone to set me up. I'm sorry, Rosa. I'll stop bothering you from now on. It's my fault for causing you trouble."

Is the author going to finally portray Skylark as a brave woman who can argue and communicate like a normal person in this real world? Hoping so.......
I don't like this story portraying Skylark's personality as too weak, too naive, Can't even defend herself Like accepting every humiliation from Vera's schemes and injustice without saying anything or doing anything. I wonder who is the protagonist in this novel, Vera or Skylark....
