Chapter 198: Extreme Joy Turns to Sorrow
Translator: 549690339
In the darkness, the man’s deep and gloomy voice swirled around her ears, full of danger.
“Why are you so happy?” he asked mysteriously.
Purple Summers’ legs went weak in fright.
“You, you weren’t with…” Her lips trembled, her heart pounding in chaos.
“With whom? … Oh, so Purple saw me.” He murmured softly, his fingertips with a thin membrane traced down her delicate jaw, stopping at her slender neck, and slowly outlined it.
Purple Summers trembled even more, feeling that the hand seemed to be measuring how to break her neck.
Alexander Summers’ voice went even lower, with a hoarse undertone as if suppressing some emotion, “Tell your brother, what did you see?”
“I… I didn’t see anything!” she replied, her voice trembling as well.
“Didn’t see?” He whispered a laugh, but there was no hint of joy in it, only making one feel the approach of death, somber and dreadful.
“But I saw Purple…'” Alexander Summers embraced her waist, with a gentle but irresistible force, “I saw Purple drinking coffee, shopping with friends, going to the movies. You were so happy, always laughing… laughing… laughing…”
Purple Summers wanted to say something, but her tongue was numb. All she could do was bite her lip, lower her head, and dare not look at Alexander Summers.
She didn’t understand why she was so afraid of Alexander Summers!
Alexander Summers pinched her jaw, forcing her to look up at him.
At that moment, the screen in the screening room suddenly lit up, and the interrupted movie resumed playing.
The light from the screen cast on Alexander Summers’ face, making it appear ghostly white and gloomy. His deep, dark eyes seemed to be filled with an evil, bone-chilling intensity.
“Is the movie that funny?” Alexander Summers’ gaze was cold and deep, staring intently into Purple Summers’ eyes, “Since Purple loves to watch it, brother will accompany you.”
“…No!” Purple Summers resisted, too scared to stand it. She knew Alexander Summers was going to go crazy again!
“Behave, Purple,” Alexander Summers gently touched her face, saying word by word, “I’m not very happy today.”
Purple Summers became anxious and frightened, tears almost falling from her eyes.
A sudden ring of the mobile phone startled her out of her wits! She quickly latched onto this lifeline and said hurriedly, “My classmate is outside waiting for me!”
Alexander Summers leaned down, his slender hands reaching into her bag and relentlessly pressing the shutdown key.
“During the movie, you should either turn off your phone or set it to silent.” He said indifferently, his cold face appearing even more sinister under the flickering light from the screen.
Purple Summers shrank back involuntarily, not daring to say another word. She was led to the center of the screening room and sat down to watch the movie.
In the empty screening room, there was only her and him…
Purple Summers didn’t understand how he had managed this. Maybe… the movie theater was also owned by the Howard Family?
She was terrified, watching the screen but completely clueless about the movie’s content. Her mind was in utter chaos, and no matter how ridiculous the male protagonist’s antics were, she couldn’t muster a single laugh…
Extreme joy begets sorrow. Today, Purple Summers finally understood the meaning of this.
Her more than forty minutes of agony finally came to an end as the credits rolled on the screen.
Was this the end?… Then, could she go home?
Would Alexander Summers let her go?
Purple Summers looked anxiously at the man beside her.
Alexander Summers gazed in the direction of the screen, his expression unusually focused. He spoke softly, “Such stories can only exist in movies. Where in the real world would such good fortune exist? The person you have a crush on also having a crush on you, the flavor of mutual love, not everyone is that lucky to taste it. More often than not, one person is foolishly trying hard while the other remains completely unaware..”
