I hesitated for a moment, but I picked it up. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Hello.” I said first. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
There was silence over the phone. No one spoke. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
There was not even a sound. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Hello?” I said again. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
No one spoke. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I thought he called the wrong number so I hung up immediately. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was still waiting for Sean on the sofa that night. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was disappointed when I woke up on the sofa and saw that the sun outside the window had risen completely and it was nine o’clock. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean’s slippers were still at the door as they were yesterday. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It proved that he had not come back. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t even have a missed call on my cell phone. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Where did he go? If he didn’t come back before, he would at least send me a text message. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I called Sean. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
No one answered. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was worried and wanted to call Daisy, but I was afraid she would lose her temper. If Sean did have an enemy, she would be involved. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
All day I hesitated to call Sean again. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Because of my disfigurement, I even began to wonder if Sean didn’t like me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was depressed that day. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But Sean was back at nine o’clock in the evening. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“You’re back.” I stood in the living room. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I saw Sean, I was a little overwhelmed. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
There were some snowflakes on the shoulders of his black clothes. I said, “is it snowing outside?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Yes.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean changed his shoes and walked in. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I thought he would go upstairs again, but I didn’t expect him to come up to me and hug me. “Sorry, I didn’t contact you yesterday.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
This time I could smell that he had a faint smell of perfume besides cigarette smoke. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I felt upset for some reason. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I couldn’t help but say, “can you give me Cindy’s number?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“She?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean seemed surprised. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He looked down at me. His black eyes were a little secretive. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Yes.” In fact, to some extent, I wanted to see Sean’s reaction. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sure enough, he was surprised. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I explained, “last time my grandma was ill and Carter Family didn’t want to pay, so I sold the house. It happened that the buyer was her. Now my grandma died, and that’s the only thing she left me. I want to buy it back.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I see.” Sean seemed relieved. “I’ll tell her for you.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I will say it myself.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I said decisively. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I really wanted to buy back the house so I wanted to find Cindy. By the way, I’d like to ask about her and Sean. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was afraid Sean was lying to me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean hesitated and finally found a number in his cell phone for me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
As soon as I wrote down the number, the screen of my mobile phone lit up. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was Daisy. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Hello.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“June, June, where are you? Come and help me!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
As soon as I answered the phone, I heard Daisy crying. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I got nervous. “What’s the matter? Where are you? Speak slowly!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I’m at my door.” Daisy’s voice trembled. “I turned down a suitor before, but he came to my house. Can you come quickly?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“OK, OK, wait for me. Don’t move.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I felt flustered. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I quickly ran upstairs and changed, then I went downstairs and rushed to the door. When I put on my shoes and just wanted to go out, my arm was pulled. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Then I heard Sean’s unhappy voice, “where are you going?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Something happened to Daisy. I am going to her.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I said without hesitation. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“You alone?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was stunned by his words. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I hadn’t thought about going with Sean. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Yes, I should go with Sean. When I realized it, I immediately said, “can you come with me? Daisy met a pervert. She’s out alone now and it’s snowing.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I said a lot. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He didn’t speak and put on his shoes and clothes he had just taken off and went straight out to start the car. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I sat on the copilot and smelled the perfume on his clothes. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Had Cindy ever been in this car? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I felt annoyed at the thought of it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Nearly half an hour later, we arrived at Daisy’s house. I saw Daisy standing outside in a red coat. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She was very beautiful in dress and make-up. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Many passers-by were looking at her. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Daisy!” I quickly ran over and asked nervously, “what’s the matter?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Daisy didn’t look at me but at the car behind me. She was silent for a while and said, “there was a man on the plane who asked for my phone number shamelessly and I didn’t give it to him. But he found my phone number and address! I almost got raped by him!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“God! Did you call the police?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Not yet! He went to my door and scared me to death!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Daisy exaggerated. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked at her and thought she didn’t seem afraid at all. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Before I spoke, Daisy grabbed me directly and said, “it’s too cold outside. Go to the car quickly.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“OK.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At this point, I seemed to have realized what Daisy was going to do. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But I couldn’t ask Sean what he did so I could ask Daisy to ask him. If only he could tell me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
As Daisy and I headed for Sean’s car, a sports car stopped behind us. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Before we got on the car, a man got off the sports car. He waved to us, “Daisy!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was Jack! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean got out of the car, too. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Four of us stood together. Sean said first, “I asked him to come. Daisy has an accident, so I think he’s fit to help.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“…” Daisy’s face turned bad. She tugged at the dress and shivered, “I’m too cold. Can we find a warm place to talk?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“OK!” Jack fawned on Daisy. “Come on, get in my car.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Daisy also seemed embarrassed to take Sean’s car. She had no choice but to take Jack’s car. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Soon Sean drove to a fancy hotel and opened a suite. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
We went upstairs to the suite. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The heating in the room seemed to have been turned on ahead of time. It was very warm when you entered. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Daisy took off her coat. Her long sexy sweater came out. Jack was staring at her. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean and I sat on a divan. He put his hand on my shoulder and looked at Daisy and said, “Daisy has been acting for a long time. You must have something to say.” <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
