132 What is Love? (1/2)

A weekwent by in a blur. Kim and Carl were simply co-existing. It was finally time for Kim to return to school.

Although it was time, she felt leaving would only increase the distance between them. Frankly speaking, that's not what she wanted. She wanted to get closer to him but he would return late from work then when he wasn't at work, he was working in the basement, she could only watch from a distance. Too scared to approach him. Too scared to distract him from his work.

Finally Sunday afternoon arrived. School would officially resume on Monday and she should have been to school to settle some things but she used the excuse of her shoulder to remain at home while Isabella ran errands for her.

Isabella only agreed so she could see Carl again. Unfortunately, he returned home late because of Chamberlain so there was no meeting him. But at least she was closer to his ”sister”.

”Aren't you returning to school?” Carl asked as he found it strange.

She smiled, ”You don't want me to stay?”

Ever since he said he would get over her, he had become more honest and no longer walked on eggshells around her.

”It's up to you to do whatever you want.” He said nonchalantly.

He was so relaxed resting in the little garden overwatching the pond.

Recently, life had been good to him. Even though Chamberlain still teased him, Lena was there so he could take his revenge.

May be because he buried himself in work, he did not feel that heartbroken. He did not eat alone either, as Chamberlain always brought him along to eat with Lena.

Unlike he assumed, he was doing pretty well. Kim on the other hand wasn't. She felt suffocated in the big house.

She watched dramas all day when she got tired of reading her books. She did nothing else. The cooking and cleaning was left to some other lady who came thrice a week.

While she was constantly referred to as his sister, it appeared he had indeed gotten over her and she was mad at herself and him too. She felt he was really fickle to get over her so easily.

”You really don't care, do you?” She muttered.

”No matter what I say, you already have your opinion so does it even matter?” He asked not sparing her a glance. His eyes were focused on the fish in the pond.

Kim did not understand his thoughts anymore.

His path was blocked as she stood in front of him. ”What now?” He asked.

She folded her arms, ”Why do you treat me like this?”

Puzzled, he asked, ”Like?”

”Like I don't exist.”

He raised his brows, ”Seriously? When did I do that?”
