Chapter 1392: Chapter 1392: Like a Madman
Atra Blanc said, “When you meet someone younger and prettier in the future, you’ll find the gold bricks are too heavy.”
“No one can predict the future. You think I’m unreliable because I’m young, but does that mean older men are automatically trustworthy?”
Clyde Summers brazenly continued, “All crows are equally black, and everyone has a heart that can change. Why not choose someone young, handsome, rich, and who loves and spoils you, right?”
Atra Blanc looked at him, murmuring, “Your mouth is always filthy and wicked…”
Clyde remained shameless, “What’s wrong with my mouth? You’ve never kissed me, so how would you know…”
Before he could finish, Atra Blanc suddenly pressed her lips against his.
Clyde froze, “…”
Her courage came unexpectedly and inexplicably, lips touching for a brief moment before quickly pulling away.
Atra Blanc softly repeated, “Filthy and wicked.”
Then, she ran away.
Clyde watched her run off into the distance, his mind slowly coming back to life, his heart finally reacting, pounding crazily!
He couldn’t help but wonder: Does this mean we’re okay now?
Then he thought: Kiss and then run away, is that cowardly?
Are you being cowardly?!
Tomorrow I must kiss her back!
Clyde’s heart soared, feeling like he was floating, almost up to the clouds.
Atra Blanc kissed him.
She took the initiative to kiss him!
Unable to suppress his joy, Clyde stood up and shouted loudly over the river, “Ahhhhh!!!——”
Atra Blanc, running far away, stumbled, almost falling.
She turned back to glance at his now tiny figure, her mouth curled into a sweet yet bitter smile, “Like a madman.”
…
After returning home, Clyde even dreamt about “kissing her back.”
So excited he couldn’t sleep, he got up in the middle of the night to watch videos, studying kissing techniques.
He stayed up half the night, his eyes red, yet he was vibrant and extremely excited.
He thought he had finally reached happiness after hardship, but didn’t expect this was just the start of “hardship.”
Atra Blanc disappeared.
The Blanc Family thought she moved to the hospital dormitory. The hospital received her leave notice and thought she went home. Both sides misunderstood, and by the time they realized it, she had been missing for seven or eight days.
No one knew where she had gone.
At home, Clyde almost caused a ruckus, whether threatening or causing trouble, he insisted Old Master Summers send someone to find Atra Blanc.
They searched for over a month, but there was no news.
Gradually, rumors began to spread in the streets, saying Atra Blanc didn’t leave home herself but eloped with a man. Otherwise, why would she leave for no reason?
Rumors always get dirtier the more they’re spread.
A few days later, the rumors changed to say Atra Blanc not only eloped but also got pregnant, with so many details it seemed like someone had seen it happen.
Clyde fell into a sick panic, with a persistent low fever, unable to eat, and once the fever broke, it quickly returned, repeating for several days until he became very haggard.
Old Master Summers was heartbroken at home, “What a sin! It’s really a sin!”
The housekeeper advised him, “The young master is still young, inevitably obsessed…”
The first time you fall in love, you give it your all and hold nothing back, pure and unadulterated, and the pain of unrequited love is even deeper and more bitter.
“Why are you torturing yourself for her?! She’s perfectly fine out there! You don’t need to worry about her!” Old Master Summers yelled angrily at the bedside.
Clyde coughed a few times and asked, “Have you found her?”
The housekeeper sighed softly, “She’s been found but we hid it from you, fearing you’d act impulsively.”
“Where is she?” Clyde asked.
The housekeeper looked at Old Master Summers.
“Give him the address,” Old Master Summers said angrily, “Let him go, no one should stop him anymore!”
From his bed, Clyde’s mouth twitched slightly into a faint smile, “Thanks, dad.”
