Hour Chase

It's impossible not to be surprised, that he would say the words of committing suicide.

Talking about jumping off London Bridge or something, I can't believe I said it myself.

With curiosity, Ellie looked through the text messages between the two earlier.

I don't know if it's because the phone's storage capacity is large enough, but I can see the content of a year ago.

However, the earlier ones are gone.

Just for these, Ellie spent the whole night digesting these text messages.

But judging from these text messages, the relationship between me and Caroline is indeed not what I thought.

Even...to my own surprise, it turned out that Karen wasn't talking nonsense.

Whether it's daily greetings or trivial matters in life, my tone in the text message is too different from my attitude when I faced Caroline yesterday.

From the first text message, I should be very happy at that time.

Even when I saw groups of corgis on the street, I would take photos and share them with Caroline.

Sometimes, even just to say hello, Caroline would send a barrage of funny pictures.

Later, it seemed that something unpleasant happened, and there was no text message between the two of them for many days.

But after only two days, he first expressed his humility, and the two got back together again.

Although it is only a short period of one year, the relationship between the two is as simple and clear as a barometer.

However, only recently, the relationship between me and Caroline seems to be not as unhappy as before.

No matter how unhappy he was, he would not easily say that he wanted to jump off London Bridge.

After that, the text messages between the two disappeared.

Ellie glanced at the last sending time of the text message...

Three days ago, that is Saturday.Specifically, it was sent at [-]:[-] pm.

"Saturday..."

Ellie tried hard to recall what happened on Saturday, but what she remembered personally was completely different from the experience described in the text message.

On Saturday, I remembered that it should be the same as usual, just come back to rest after work.

it should be so... it should be so...

Ellie kept thinking silently in her heart, and she always insisted that what she remembered personally was correct.

But... Could it be that my mobile phone has been tampered with by other people, so that it becomes what I see now?

If so, that kind of person is too hateful!

Ellie, who was getting more and more angry when she thought about it, had a new idea at this time, maybe...David would know something.

After all, the only person I can trust is David alone.

David's room is next door to him, and it doesn't take much time to walk to a place that can be reached within a few steps.

Ellie stood in front of David's door with her mobile phone and knocked on his door.

"David, are you asleep?"

At this point, David should not be asleep yet, because he will deal with the company's daily reports every night, and he will go to bed later.

There are exceptions, however, such as when drunk or sick.

Although the voice was very soft, David's voice came from the room, beckoning him to go in.

Entering David's room, Ellie naturally sat opposite David.

When he looked at David, he was wearing reading glasses and looking at the book meticulously.

"A beautiful woman won't stay up so late."

"Maybe, but..."

Hey, how should I ask about this matter.

Now Ellie doesn't even understand herself why she must be obsessed with text messages on her mobile phone.

Believe in yourself, or trust your phone.

Although my memory is not very good, but it is not so bad that I will remember things wrong three days ago.

But...I still don't feel at ease.

"Although I myself think this question is silly... Can you tell me, where did I go last Saturday?"

"What's the matter? Why did you suddenly ask this?"

David didn't stop what he was doing, still looking at the book, answering Ellie's question indifferently.

"I remember, did I meet someone that day, didn't I?"

"As you say, you were out with Miss Caroline that day."

It turned out that I really met Caroline, but why I couldn't remember it.

Ellie turned on the phone and re-read the content of the text message.

If he really went out at that time, then it is very possible that he and Caroline would have a bad quarrel.

Sure enough... I should trust my phone, not myself...

"Since you asked me, I want to ask you too. What happened to you that day?"

"what?"

David took off his glasses and put them aside, looking directly at Ellie.

"When you came back that day, you seemed like a different person. You stole my drink and cried a lot..."

David said so, but saw that Ellie's expression was a little unnatural.

It must have been a really unhappy day for her.

As the only one who takes care of Ellie, David is always like a father to Ellie, tolerant first.

Although sometimes Ellie's waywardness always brings her troubles, this is also where the family relationship between the two lies.

Ellie really couldn't understand now, did she lose her composure that day?

However, Ellie didn't plan to ask any more questions, and didn't answer David's question.

Although I don't want to admit it, since David said it, it shouldn't be a lie.

The only thing I can't accept is... Caroline.

Ellie got up and left David's room and went back to her cabin.

Lying on the bed, it was difficult to clarify thoughts for a while.

Apart from anything else, even if she really forgot what happened on Saturday, for Caroline, what she said hurts.

"No wonder..."

No wonder Caroline was still worried about herself after seeing her, obviously she was too extreme.

No matter who is threatening others with their own lives, the other party has no other choice but to compromise.

But she was so sad that day, so why...

Ellie unconsciously put her hands on her eyes and covered her eyes.

There is no other way, I can't think of anything, this is probably the aftereffect of drinking.

In other words, wouldn't it be better if she asked Caroline herself.

Thinking of this, Ellie turned on the phone again, but hesitated.

Whether to make a phone call or send a text message made me very embarrassed.

It was late at night too, and it might upset her to disturb her so late.

In the end, Ellie sent a text anyway.

The reason is very simple, I just want to ask her if I have done something to make her feel sad.

If so, then give her a good apology another day.

It's past ten o'clock, but the reply has not come yet.

Although she didn't deliberately wait for her reply, Ellie still remained awake.

The light in the room was always on, just to prevent myself from falling into a drowsy sleep.

However, in the end Ellie still couldn't wait for Caroline's reply.

The next day, the morning sun came in through the window, illuminating Ellie's room brightly.

Hearing the sound of Zizi in a daze, Ellie touched the mobile phone next to the pillow by feeling.

After a closer look, it turned out that Caroline had sent a reply.

Ellie quickly opened it, staring straight at the contents above.

"Please stop pestering me. You should have known there would be such a day."

I was hated, the result was obvious.

What a fool, I was so stupid that I blindly hindered others without thinking about the position of the other party.

She's going to be a bride soon...

Perhaps, as Karen said, it would be better to keep her distance.

Today, it doesn't matter what the truth of the matter is.

If you want to find out, no one will tell yourself more facts.

Well, it's better to know nothing than to know too much.

Turn off the phone and put it aside.

Ellie looked at the ceiling, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity suddenly rose in her heart.

It seems... I have done the same thing before.

Helpless and unwilling, he could only give up on himself in the end.

When did it become such a habit...

After all, I don't know either.

"Ellie? This is Tom, are you awake?"

Tom's voice sounded at the door, and Ellie lazily got up from the bed.

Walking to the door, after opening the door, I saw Tom standing at the door with a spirited face.

"What's wrong? I still want to sleep..."

"Mr. David asked me to deliver the goods today, you can go with me."

"Didn't I let you go...you go alone, I don't want to go."

Saying that, Ellie wanted to close the door.

Just then, Tom stopped Ellie with his left hand.

"Wait a minute! I heard from Mr. David that you are not in a good mood recently, so I wonder if taking you out for a walk will make you feel better."

"I'm fine now, thank you for your concern."

After speaking, Ellie closed the door with a bang.Left alone at the door looking dumbfounded Tom.

How could Ellie like this be fine? As Tom, who also works in the company, he naturally understood that Ellie must be in a bad mood at this time.

Her emotions are not hidden in her heart at all, the expression on her face can explain everything.

The way she looks now is obviously a lie.

Although I really want to persuade her, but now it seems that it is difficult to see her.

Let her be quiet.

With this in mind, Tom was about to leave.

At this moment, the door of the room was opened again.Ellie put on her clothes and stood in front of the door.

"I've changed my mind, I'll go with you."

Although I don't know why she changed her mind in such a short period of time, but that's fine, at least staying here can't change anything.

"Then don't delay, let's go."

Tom walked ahead and jumped into the car first.

And David was very relieved to see that Ellie was rarely willing to go with Tom, without saying a word.

"Which company are you going to today?"

Ellie asked after putting on her seat belt.

"Prince Group."

Tom opened the list, which listed the names of the goods to be shipped today.

"This is an old customer, I have been there many times."

Tom said, starting the car.
