Chapter 13 - Just Came Out of The Shower (1/2)

Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Connor had spent all his money on Mandy before the breakup.

So, his mobile phone was an outdated android machine, which could only make phone calls and would crash as soon as he downloaded WhatsApp.

Eunice had reminded Connor just now. So, after leaving Brasserie Le Bernardin, he bought the latest iPhone from an Apple store.

The cost of the iPhone was just a drop in the bucket compared to how much he had now. Only now had Connor discovered how enjoyable life was for the rich.

Half an hour later, Connor rode his electric bike and returned to his rented place. But, the moment he inserted the key into the keyhole, he hesitated. He wondered if Mina would be sitting in the living room with her hands folded, waiting for him to come home and scold him.

He honestly thought that he had done nothing wrong at noon. But then again, women never talked sense, and men were at fault for everything.

With a mixed feeling, Connor turned the key and the door opened with a click. The living room was pitch black, and the entire house was so quiet that he could hear a pin drop. He was relieved as he laughed at himself for his ridiculous thought.

Mina had been shutting herself in the house all day for the past half-year of Connor sharing a house with her. No one knew what she was doing. She ordered takeout delivery every day, and the total time of the two of them seeing each other was less than three hours.

Sometimes, Connor wondered what Mina was doing inside her room. He tried to listen in occasionally and heard music interspersed with the voice of Mina talking.

Turning on the light and gently closing the door with his feet, Connor dragged himself into the living room and collapsed on the couch. Several major things had happened in quick succession today, causing him to feel tired and dispirited. After resting for a while, he dragged himself up, returned to his room, found a clean set of clothes, and went into the bathroom.

Another ten minutes passed. Connor, wrapped in a bath towel and wiping his hair, emerged from the bathroom, which was right next to Mina’s room. As Connor walked past outside her room, he heard Mina’s voice, and he could not help but stop and prick up his ears to listen in.

Mina’s room was noisy, and the booming music made Connor feel uncomfortable. It even drowned out Mina’s voice. After listening in for a while, he could only make out words like ‘tips’, ‘guys’, and ‘follow’.

Curiosity killed the cat. Connor could not help himself as he wanted to find out what Mina was doing. That question had been bothering him all this time. She did not go to work or class but holed up in the room all day with her computer always on.
