Lost in You novel Chapter 68

I am shocked and my heart clenches. After many years, I have not been immune to his love words.

However, I immediately smile and say, "Mr. James, who did you say that to?" I step forward and look him in the eyes. "If it's me, you will cheat on Carolina. After all, I'm not her, and if you are talking to her, then what am I? Substitute? I'm sorry. I'm not interested in being someone else's substitute.."

Undeniably, I really care about it in my heart.

I am so close to him that I could feel he is nervous. His eyes are riveted on my face, and he can’t escape.

"Is there any difference?" James says, taking a step back.

We stand within a safe distance from each other.

"No?" I look down.

Maybe in his eyes, we are the same one, but it’s not. I don't know what I am thinking about.

"Carl, let's go. It's late. I'll send you back." Morley reminds me.

I look at James, and James squints at Morley.

"Mr. Morley, maybe we still have something to talk about." James says.

Morley smiles apologetically, "It doesn't seem to be convenient today."

"It’s fine. Let's come together. If Miss Carl is your friend, I don't think she would care." James faintly glances at me, as if the tension between us is gone.

"Carl, why don't you go home first?" Morley looks at me worriedly, "Although I don't know what happened to you, I really worry about you."

I know how uncomfortable I look now.

James has been standing not far away looking at us. His eyes are getting darker and gloomy, which scare people.

"Let's go together." I withdraw my eyes in horror.

James' temper becomes changeful. Sometimes he is in good mood, but sometimes he loses his temper.

"I originally want to visit Mr. James today. It is a coincidence to meet Carl here." Morley says politely.

James sits opposite and looks at us.

"I mentioned to Carl that I am going to come to Sheffield to work with you, but I don't expect you met first. I wonder if there are other connections here?" Morley ventures. "Why are you going to go after Carl?"

Maybe Morley has guessed something. He says that just to prove his guess.

"She looks like my old friend." James looks at me still coldly, "The one I'll never be able to forget.”

I suddenly look up, and happen to meet his eyes, and then I look away hurriedly.

"Isn't that unfair to Carl?" Morley looks at me. "She is the Carl Nida, not your old friend."

His eyes are sad, as if wants to say something. He says that I am Carl, not Carolina.

"Really?" James says with displeasure. "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter who she is. Miss Carl, you will fall in love with me."

I know I will, but I will also make you pay the price. James, sorry.

James and I stare at each other, perhaps trying to look into each other's hearts.

"Mr. James!" Morley stands up abruptly, "I remember I have something else to do. I can only take Carl away first."

Morley takes my hand.

I recollect my mind and look at him.

"Let's go, it will get dark for a while, and your family will worry you." Morley reminds me, also warns me.

I sober all at once and remember that Ella is at home.

"Family?"

And James seems to have grasped the point of this sentence, "Is there anyone in the family waiting for you?"

"Family." I say.

James looks at me thoughtfully.

I don't know what he is thinking, and I follow Morley, intending to leave.

"Carl Nida, Carolina." James looks at me playfully, "No matter who you are, you will be mine."

There is an assured confidence in his eyes, and he is so overbearing that people cannot refuse.

"Let's go." Morley grabs me, "Mr. James, we have to go now. After all, there are still people waiting for us at home."

James smiles and says, "Okay."

Although he is laughing, his smile is so scary.

It is late when I come out of James' house.

Morley seems to be angry and stops talking to me when we get in the car.

I don't know how to speak to him about this matter.

Morley drives fast on the road. I look out the window. I used to walk on this road to see James. Five years later, nothing has changed.

It's only us who have changed.
