Chapter 88 I Love You Being Rude To Me (Part One)


    "Hey Sean, I''m back."


    Terence greeted Sean when he opened up the door. However, the first thing he did was looking across


    the room and searching for Ca. When he finallyid his eyes on the woman who sat quietly on the


    couch, he shifted his attention back to Terence.


    "Terence! What took you so long? I missed you so much!"


    Sean asked Terence. All day, Sean has been filled with never-ending jokes and judgments. But as soon


    as he heard Terence''s voice, they all slipped away. He was so excited to see Terence and rushed to


    hug him. Tears ran down his cheeks as he held on tightly to Terence.


    Sean might have gone through a lot but he was still like most kids. Their moods always changed,


    depending on the situation at that moment. And this was also why their feelings and reactions were


    always pure as gold.


    Terence reached over to close the door and hugged Sean tightly. Terence stroked his back to calm his


    sobs away and spoke to Sean, "Sean, you''re the only man in this house. Didn''t I tell you? Real men


    don''t cry over little things." He gave Sean a smile tofort him.


    Sean looked up at Terence and nodded. He wiped his tears away with the back of his hand while the


    other hand still held on to Terence. He calmed his sobs before he said, "Yes, Terence, I remember it.


    But, you also told me that a real man never goes back on his words! Didn''t you tell me you were going


    to be my brother-inw? And now, the whole world knows that you''re going to marry another woman!


    Who can be better than my sister? There is only one Ca!


    You won''t go back on your words, right? Because real men don''t and you always kept your promises.


    Don''t break it with my sister this time. Please, Terence."


    Sean stared into Terence''s eyes with a glimmer of hope embedded in his.


    Terence had never seen such a clean and pure vision in anyone else''s eyes. It was like watching the


    snow melt and flow down from the top of the Alps.


    He stroked Sean''s hair and asked him, "Sean, do you believe in me?" He asked Sean, even though he


    knew the answer.


    Sean finally let go of Terence as he peeked at Ca on the couch. She had her eyes on the ground and


    looked away from them. Sean looked back at Terence, who stared at him. His mind ran a mile a minute


    but he knew he had to make a choice. Finally, he let his heart decide.


    "I believe you, Terence. The kids at schoolughed at me and our family. They said there was no way


    that you would marry my sister because we are poor and there are better women out there. My sister is


    the best sister in the entire universe! And I want to prove to them that you love her more than anyone. I


    don''t understand why the kids are so mean to us..."


    By the time he was done talking about his experience with the kids at school, Sean''s eyes were filled

    up with tears again.


    Deep down in Sean''s heart, Terence was the best man he had ever met in his entire young life.


    On the other hand, Ca was also the best sister in the whole world to him.


    They were great together and always felt like the perfect couple. That was why he found it hard to


    understand why they parted ways.


    Terence massaged his head and exhaled. He bent down to look straight into Sean''s eyes and said to


    him with a smile, "Sean, listen, imagine you''re solving a math question. In school, your teachers teach


    you to focus on reading the question and finding a way to solve it, right? But when we get older, we


    develop a different understanding of the math question. We no longer focus on how to solve the


    question. We focus on getting the right result.


    You have my word that I''m going to be your brother-inw. That hasn''t changed. Since I''m still working


    on that math question, I promise you, no matter what solution Ie up with, it''ll be the same result.


    That won''t change as well.


    You have to keep remembering this and believe what I am telling you. Do you understand?"


    Terence stood up straight after talking to Sean. He looked over to Ca on the couch and found her on


    the same spot. But this time, she had her knees up by her chest and her ears covered by her hands.


    Ca didn''t want to move an inch and see and talk to Terence. She certainly didn''t want to hear him


    talk either. She just couldn''t figure out this man. Yesterday, he called her and said that they had already


    set a date to announce the engagement. But then, here he was, telling Sean that he was going to be


    his brother-inw. She couldn''t listen to the lies, whichever one it was, and just covered her ears so


    she couldn''t hear him. When she couldn''t stand it anymore, she stood up abruptly and red at


    Terence.


    "Excuse me, sir, are you done talking? If you are done, you can leave Sean alone. He has to finish his


    homework and go to bed when he''s all done. It''s also a school night so he still needs to get up early


    tomorrow morning to prepare for school," she told Terence, calmly. She kept her tone cool and serious,


    devoid of any emotion.


    Sean stared at Ca with his jaw dropped open. Hearing what Ca was suggesting, he looked to


    Terence to rescue him. When Terence stayed silent, his face fell and he lowered his chin to his chest.


    He kept his eyes on the carpet and mumbled, "Terence, I need to go back to my room now."


    "It''s okay, Sean, good luck with your homework." Terence squeezed Sean''s shoulder and smiled at


    him. He added, "I''ll be here until tomorrow morning. If you have any question about your homework,


    just let me know, okay?"


    Sean nodded his head and felt strengthened by Terence''s offer.


    Sean left and returned to his room.


    "Mr. Terence, are you finished? Do you still have anything you need to say to a rude and ungracious


    woman like me? If you do, we can discuss it at the cafe downstairs, not here. But If you''re done, then


    you are more than wee to leave now."


    Ca took off her apron and threw it on the floor. She didn''t want him in her home, especially since she


    didn''t want Sean got disturbed while he was studying. Most importantly, she didn''t want to give him any


    chance to talk to her.


    Terence knew exactly what Ca was doing.


    Without a word, Terence grabbed Ca''s hand and pulled her towards her room. Once they were


    inside, Terence locked the door just in case Ca would run away.
