You asked for it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hilda sneers. She then hits me in the face without hesitation.<\/p>\n<p>Sure, it hurts.<\/p>\n<p>My mind instantly went blank, and I see stars for a moment.<\/p>\n<p>My face is burning hot and painful. I know it swells.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not someone to be trampled upon, but right now, I can only endure it.<\/p>\n<p>Earl is happy after he dodges a bullet. He takes the ball and walks away.<\/p>\n<p>I rub my swollen face and stare angrily at Hilda. She is eating gently.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;How is it? Do you hate me?&#8221; Hilda glances at me and says indifferently.<\/p>\n<p>Of course I hate her.<\/p>\n<p>I want her to die a miserable death.<\/p>\n<p>But right now, I can only shake my head. I deny softly, &#8220;Not that much.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hilda smiles and doesn&#8217;t say anything else. She continues to eat.<\/p>\n<p>Very quickly, Frances comes down from upstairs. His gaze sweeps across my face. He then asks Hilda softly, &#8220;Are you all through?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hilda stands up and her gaze falls on me.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This ring looks pretty. However, it seems familiar.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Looking at my ring, I recall the scene of Frances proposing to me in Prague.<\/p>\n<p>The previous romance had become the most piercing pain.<\/p>\n<p>I also understand what Hilda means.<\/p>\n<p>Frances naturally understands as well.<\/p>\n<p>He walks over and stretches out his hand towards me.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Frances, do you even want to take this back now? This is the proposal ring!&#8221; I think.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This ring should no longer be on your hand.&#8221; Frances speaks in an indifferent tone. It breaks all my fantasy.<\/p>\n<p>I know.<\/p>\n<p>Ever since I shoot at Frances, I know it will come.<\/p>\n<p>They then leave in front of me, and I return to the hotel with my stuff.<\/p>\n<p>After that, every morning when Frances leaves, Hilda would come to the door to see him off.<\/p>\n<p>Then, they kiss goodbye.<\/p>\n<p>I tell myself not to look, but I cannot control my eyes.<\/p>\n<p>Today, after sending Frances off, Hilda doesn&#8217;t return to her room. Instead, she makes a phone call and a car drives to pick her up.<\/p>\n<p>What is she planning?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not in the mood to work anymore. It&#8217;s not guest time yet.<\/p>\n<p>Without asking for leave from the manager, I hurriedly call a car to follow Hilda.<\/p>\n<p>Hilda&#8217;s car is heading in the direction of my hometown. What is she going to do?<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Hilda stops at a village. She leisurely stands at the entrance of the village, as if she is waiting for someone.<\/p>\n<p>Soon, a familiar man appears and walks to Hilda.<\/p>\n<p>How could it be him?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-549","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/549","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=549"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
