Chapter 12 Chapter Twelve Finally Saying Goodbye

These words were like a sharp sword, instantly nailing Toto in place.His blood froze into ice in an instant, and he suddenly thought that what he heard was just a hallucination.This delusion caused him to be shocked for a few minutes before he slowly came back to his senses. "Liu Xia... what did you say?" He asked again in disbelief. Liu Xia only felt that there was a kind of sadness beyond pain spreading rapidly in her blood, which paralyzed her whole body like poison.This sentence was like a sharp double-edged sword, which hurt both him and her. Such cruel words, every time I say them, it seems to slow my heart.She moved her trembling lips, but she couldn't say it a second time.

"Didn't you hear clearly? She said that she wants to break up with you." To her surprise, Alfonso on the side actually repeated that sentence for her. Toto's eyes turned to Alfonso again, and the tight lips showed undisguised anger, "You don't need to take care of the matter between me and her! It's impossible for her to say such a thing!" Alfonso raised his eyebrows irresistibly, and raised an unpredictable smile. "He's right. I said just now that I want to break up." Liu Xia said it again with a firm heart, and at the same time, a certain part of her chest seemed to have been bruised again.

"Why? Is it because of Emma's matter? I have already said that I will solve this matter, and you promised to give me time. Or..." Toto paused, looked at Alfonso, blue There was a hint of doubt in his eyes, "Could it be... really related to him?" He immediately shook his head to deny his doubt after speaking, "No, it won't. Those things in the newspaper are all scribbled... ...I absolutely don't believe it...I absolutely don't believe it...Liu Xia, you are not such a woman!" Liu Xia looked at him silently, not knowing how to respond.It turned out that he had already read those newspapers, so he must have some doubts in his heart... If so, then let him misunderstand it.Just let him think that she is a shallow woman who loves vanity, likes the new and dislikes the old, so that he can leave even more without hesitation.

"Liu Xia, I will believe no matter what you say." His emotions suddenly became agitated, and he rushed forward to hold her shoulders, "Tell me the real reason why you want to break up! Liu Xia! Tell me! Otherwise I will I will never agree!" Liu Xia lowered her head, not daring to look into his eyes.This evasive expression angered Toto even more. He swept away the tenderness of the past and squeezed her shoulders tightly.Liu Xia frowned in pain, but still refused to explain a word, as if acquiescing to everything. "That's it." Alfonso suddenly reached out and clasped Toto's wrist, forcing him to let go. "Since she doesn't like you anymore, there's no point in trying to force it."

"I said this is between me and her!" Toto withdrew his hand angrily, "I don't care who you are, you'd better get out of here right away, and don't meddle in our business." Alfonso smiled coldly, the coldness in his eyes seemed to freeze everything into ice, "Of course I don't care about other things, but you can't touch my woman." This sentence was like the last straw on the camel's body, finally overwhelmed Toto's rationality, he couldn't bear it anymore, and punched Alfonso's mouth hard! "Toto, what are you doing!" Liu Xia was surprised at what the earl said just now, and the subsequent development of the situation was even more out of control, which made her at a loss.She hurried forward to check on Alfonso's injuries, and saw that blood was oozing from the corner of his mouth, which showed that Toto's punch was quite heavy.

Seeing her concerned expression towards other men, Toto only felt a sharp pain in his chest, and even his breathing became difficult, "Liu Xia, are you really...really for him...Emma I admit that I am sorry for you, but it was before I met you. But you... tell me frankly, do you want to leave me long after you met this man? " Liu Xia still kept her head down and remained silent, her knuckles had been pinched white by herself, every cell in her body was crying, repeating the same sentence, no, no, no, no... But she could only wear the coldest and most numb mask on her face. Seeing her delay in opening her mouth, Toto's heart became colder and colder, as if some black icy liquid flowed into his heart along his blood vessels, and his whole heart kept falling until he couldn't see the bottom A deep abyss... The cold wind blowing from all around was about to blow him to pieces...

Perhaps it was because of too much heartache, his face was obviously distorted, but there was a bitter smile on the corner of his mouth, "Okay, okay, I understand. Gong Liuxia, I will help you!" After speaking, he turned around and walked downstairs without looking back. As that familiar figure completely disappeared before her eyes, Liu Xia seemed to feel something was missing in her heart.The sound of footsteps that were gradually going away seemed to step on her chest directly, trying to crush her heart to pieces. "Liu Xia, are you alright?" Alfonso's voice brought her back to reality after she lost her mind.

She froze for a moment, shook her head again, and replied in a low voice, "I'm fine, but you..." She said as she took out the key and opened the door, "Come in with me, I'll help you take care of the corner of your mouth." Wound." In any case, it was because of her that Alfonso had been hit like this. Alfonso did not refuse, nodded and followed her into the room. While wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, she whispered apologetically, "I'm really sorry this time, I didn't expect to hurt you." "If it can help, this little injury doesn't matter." His smile is still so elegant and charming.A well-fitting Armani black shirt set off his noble temperament.Even under such circumstances, his manner exudes an inimitable aristocratic demeanor.

"If it weren't for what you said just now to help me, you wouldn't have suffered such an unreasonable disaster." Liu Xia probed skillfully.Although he felt that what the earl said just now was just to help her, but he still wanted to confirm it before he could rest assured. Alfonso naturally knew what she was thinking, and raised his lips and smiled, "If you don't say that, he won't give up. I just cooperate with you. Isn't your silence also to misunderstand him?" Liu Xia breathed a sigh of relief at first, it seems that the Earl really just helped her just now, the speaker had no intention of it, and the listener was suspicious.But when she heard the last sentence, she felt a little sorry again, "I'm sorry, Mr. Alfonso, this time I also used you."

Alfonso kept his elegant smile to show that he didn't mind.But he knew very well in his heart that what he said today was not just like that. He never said anything impulsively, including the sentence, "You can't touch my woman." But now ----- is obviously not a good time to speak out. "Okay, it looks better now." Liu Xia threw the cleaned cotton into the box, "Otherwise Margaret will definitely be worried about you. Looking from this angle, Alfonso happened to see her slightly trembling eyelashes, the tip of her small nose, and her soft and beautiful lips.Between her slender eyelashes, there was actually a remaining teardrop, shining like a diamond under the light, which made people feel pity.

Although he had the urge to hold her in his arms again, he still endured it. He has always been patient with his prey. At this moment, Camilla finally came back with the salt she just bought.As soon as she opened the door, she was greeted by such a scene - the moment she saw Alfonso, she suddenly felt an inexplicable chill behind her. "Liu Xia, what's going on?" She casually put the bag on the table. "This, I will explain to you later." Liu Xia was afraid that Camilla might misunderstand something, so he hurriedly said something first. Alfonso stood up without haste, "Okay, I should leave too." He pointed to the corner of his mouth again, "Thank you, Liuxia." Before leaving, he smiled at Camilla as a greeting.Camilla was stunned for a moment, and an elusive expression immediately crossed her face. strangeness.She seemed to have seen that kind of smile before. Amor bar in Rome. This baroque, neo-classical and modern bar has always been very popular, and it is full of guests almost every day.At this time, the bar's own band is playing Paolo Meneguzzi's classic song In Nome Dell'amore (In the Name of Love), and the lead singer's delicate and restrained voice sounds somewhat similar to Paolo. In a corner of the bar, sat two striking young men.Among them, the boy with warm blond hair always has an intoxicating smile, and looks easy-going and friendly, while the other handsome man who is as serious as a cold moon looks much more difficult to get along with.The boss's attitude towards these two people was extremely polite, and he spoke cautiously, as if he was afraid of offending them. The surrounding guests didn't seem to dare to look at them, except for a few bold women who kept winking in that direction, hoping to attract their attention. "That beauty seems to be interested in you, Parker." Romeo laughed narrowly. Parker obviously didn't like such teasing, "I'm not interested in such a woman." "Don't tell me you like men." Romeo made an exaggerated gesture of protecting his chest. "It will make a beautiful boy like me feel uneasy. I'm only interested in women." Parker was obviously accustomed to his appearance, and replied blankly, "I'm not interested in beautiful boys either. Especially a boring beautiful boy like you." He also added the accent on the word beautiful boy, which sounded like More like a sarcasm. "Parker, don't think that we are partners, I will give you face..." Romeo snorted softly, picked up the vodka in front of him and drank it in one gulp. "Hey, handsome guys, are you interested in buying us a drink?" Two blond beauties finally couldn't stand the temptation of beauty, and walked over with unprofessional Italian Wen Shi. Parker still had a cold face, turning a blind eye and only drinking his own wine. Romeo shrugged indifferently, "It's my honor to invite such a beautiful girl to drink." Encouraged by the handsome guy, the two beauties looked at each other and smiled, and immediately seized the opportunity to sit beside Romeo, and chatted with him without losing the opportunity.It may also be seen that the words "Stay away from strangers" are pasted on Parker's forehead. The two beauties are very sensible and dare not have any conversations with him.Romeo, on the other hand, chatted with them quickly, and got the phone numbers of these two Polish beauties easily. "Sometimes I really doubt whether you have Italian blood." Romeo took advantage of the gap between the two beauties to go to the bathroom and began to brainwash Parker. "Have you seen the movie "Under the Tustana Sun"? There is a line in it that says It was fantastic." "Oh?" Parker still looked indifferent. "Flirting is a basic etiquette in Italy. It is our Italian men's duty to flirt with women." Romeo looked at him with a smile, "Parker, it seems that you are more like your German father." Hearing him mention his father, Parker reacted slightly.Just as he was about to say something, when he looked up and saw the two beauties coming out of the bathroom again, he couldn't help feeling an inexplicable irritability in his heart. He stood up and said, "I'm going out to smoke a cigarette." The night is already very deep. Parker skillfully lit a cigarette, leaned against the wall of the back alley and took a few deep puffs.In the dark night, some memories that linger in the depths of the soul can always be awakened in the darkness. Before the age of seven, he lived a peaceful life just like other ordinary children.But all of this was ruined by that woman... Even if that woman was his own mother, he would not be able to forgive her. A cigarette is quickly exhausted.When he took the second cigarette from the cigarette case, he realized that the one he had just smoked was the last one.What a disappointment!Maybe it was because he was in a bad mood, so he couldn't help but cursed in a low voice.Anyway, I don't know how long those two women will pester Romeo, even if he goes nearby to buy a pack of cigarettes and then comes back, there is more than enough time. Parker walked through two narrow alleys, and saw that there was indeed a small shop that was open not far away.Italians are lazy by nature, and the opening hours of shops are completely random, most of them open late and close early.If there are no special circumstances, after six o'clock in the evening, you can see that many private shops are already guarded by General Tie. For them, enjoying the meaning of life seems to be more important than making money. However, the owner of this shop is clearly a hard worker.The thought flashed through Parker's mind as he walked into the store.The small shop is small, but it is clean and tidy, and the products on the shelves are neatly arranged, which makes people feel comfortable. He rang the small bell on the counter, and soon saw a woman coming out from the inside, still talking enthusiastically, "Here, come. Sir, what do you want to buy? I'm here There is the latest arrival----" The woman's voice stopped abruptly, as if someone had suddenly strangled her neck and could not make a sound, but at the same time, there was a bit of surprise in her eyes.And Parker also froze there for a moment when he saw the woman clearly, his face froze all of a sudden. How is this going?How did you see this woman here? ------This woman who has the identity of a mother but is hated by him. "Why...it could be you?" He turned a blind eye to the surprise surging in her eyes, and opened his mouth extremely coldly. "I... I'm here to help." Mia murmured, "Parker, I... I've quit gambling." "Really? Then what does it matter to me?" He looked away expressionlessly, using the calmness on his face to cover up the unrest in his heart.Has this woman really quit gambling?No wonder I haven't received her call for help recently. "I..." She choked on his words, and didn't know what to say. "Get me a pack of cigarettes." He pointed to one of the brands, took out a euro from his wallet and threw it on the cash register. "Okay, okay!" Mia nodded hastily, took out a cigarette and handed it to him in an almost flattering manner. He picked up the cigarette, turned around and walked out.Just as he was about to walk to the door, he suddenly heard her voice coming from behind, "Parker... Shizuka is a very good girl." Hearing this name, his heart moved slightly, and he stopped unconsciously, as if waiting for her next words. "Actually, Shizuka opened this store. I know she did it to help me, otherwise how could a young lady like her open such a small store, and I am responsible for almost everything..." Mia suddenly After a pause, "Parker, I was young too. She did this mostly because of you..." "You talk too much today." He interrupted her coldly, and walked out without looking back. As soon as he left the store, he took out his mobile phone.In the other column of the contact list, there is only one lonely number---Shizuka 3336229612. It was obviously just a string of lifeless numbers, but it seemed to let him relive the warmth left in his palm that night. I don't know if it's the relationship that has lived in the dark for too long, even such a little warmth will make him nostalgic... He twitched the corner of his mouth as if mocking himself, pressed the dial button with his slender fingers, and the call came quickly The gentle voice said, "Hello? Hello, I'm Shizuka." He suddenly felt his heart beating a little faster, but the cold voice still made it difficult to detect any emotional changes, "It's me. Shizuka, do you have time tomorrow night?"
