Lost in your love

Chapter 71 Black Face

Hearing Hoyle's words, Iris could do nothing but shake her head. Alas! She felt miserable when she

saw that Hoyle expressed his love to Gail in front of her, and she could only smile to respond. But why

did Gail dislike Hoyle? He was so considerate and handsome. She thought they were a perfect match.

Hoyle ordered cocktail as a farewell dinner.

When they poured wine and raised glasses, out of the corner of Gail's eye, she saw a familiar figure.

Her eyelids twitched. Gail looked away and drank the wine off. She had a good conversation with Iris

and Hoyle, pretending that she didn't see what had happened.

But Gail couldn't help paying attention to James while eating. James sat in the hall with Jackson. After

a while, Iris and Hoyle all noticed him.

"Gai, try this. It's your favorite." Iris winked at Hoyle and picked up braised pork into Gai's bowl.

Fully aware of what Iris meant, Hoyle picked up a piece of pig's intestine for Gail and said, "This is

good for your face. Eat more, you are thinner."

Smiling bitterly, Gail quietly glanced at Iris and said, "Well, you should also eat more. We are not fat at

all. Why didn't you gain weight during the Spring Festival?" She also picked up food for Iris and Hoyle.

Sitting not far away from them, Jackson and James found that they were laughing and talking while

having dinner. With a friendly smile on her face, Gail continued to serve food to Hoyle.

As far as James could remember, Gail never took Iris, her best friend, to dinner with him. It turned out

that she still had scruples in her heart. Had she already thought that this day would come?

James heard that if someone really love someone else, the first thing he or she want to do is to bring

her or him to friends. Iris was also at the train station last time. But this time, James saw Iris again. If

Gail had scruples, she wouldn't do that.

Looking at the darkened face of James, Jackson said, "See that. Gail is getting along with that man in a

harmonious and happy life. What are you worried about? Gail turned around and got together with

another man. Just you come to the place where you had dinner before to remember the past. See that

Gail took no notice of it and still brought another man here. If there is a place for you in her heart, she

will deliberately avoid this place."

The morose expression on James's face was replaced by the exaggerated expression because of

Jackson's words. Before Jackson could finish his words, James pulled the chair out and strode away,

letting out a muffled sound. James wished he could disappear at once. He felt that all his efforts these

days were in vain. He had been sad for so long, and he had been guilty for so long. It was out of his

expectation that Gail was eating with another man in this restaurant!

Hearing that, Jackson hastily grabbed his coat and chased after James. The chairs made another

piercing noise, and Gail, Iris and Hoyle of course heard that.

Iris took a peep at Gail but found nothing special. Gail was eating the pig's intestine in her bowl with

appetite and behaved like a lovely child.

Hoyle looked at Gail without saying anything. But he knew that Gail cared about James the most. She

felt awful deep inside, though she pretended not to care.

It seemed that Hoyle really had no chance to get close to Gail. James meant a lot to her. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

The atmosphere became inexplicable after James appeared. After dinner, the three of them went

downstairs. Hoyle proposed to send them back to their dormitory.

Seeing this, Iris pointed to the road and began to move to the side of the road. "Well, I have to go.

Sherry forgot to bring the key. She can't enter the dormitory. I will give her the key. You keep chatting.

I'm leaving now."

Then Iris called a taxi and opened the taxi's door.

"Alas, Iris, don't worry. Sherry has the key, doesn't she?" Gail was caught off guard by Iris's sudden

move.

"Sherry seems to lose her key in a date. Don't worry. Hoyle will drive you back. I will go. Bye!" The taxi

disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Looking at Iris's flustered face, Gail knew she was finding an excuse. Sherry was a cautious woman.

How could she throw the key? Even if she lost the key, she could go for Mary.

But Gail just thought about it and did not show it.

"Would you like something to drink?" Hoyle knew that Iris tried her best to create an opportunity for

them. After all, they might not see each other soon.

"No, thanks. I had some soup just now. I'm not thirsty." Gail also knew that they had to say goodbye, so

she wanted to cooperate with Hoyle. But she was really not thirsty. It would be a waste of money to buy

a cup of milk tea. Moreover, she needed to find the toilet after drinking it.

"Would you like to go there? I know there's a green plant store. It's all your favorite plants." Hoyle knew

that Gail loved flowers and plants, and she also liked to collect information from literature.

It never occurred to Gail that Hoyle knew so much about her. She didn't even know that she had many

hobbies.

"Okay, let's go." Gail didn't think whether Hoyle liked her or not. Hoyle was about to go abroad, and he

might not be able to come back in the future, so she agreed.

Sure enough, they went there. Gail loved creative plants very much, and there were many rare and

beautiful flowers. The only shortcoming was that these flowers were a little expensive. As far as she

knew, there was a price tag on the menu that she didn't dare to buy.

Actually, there were the cheapest flowers for Hoyle. He couldn't think about it in Gail's position.

"Don't you like them? I like this succulent. What do you think?" Hoyle picked up a nice piece of

succulent and showed it to Gail.

Nodding her head, Gail replied, "Yes, it is beautiful."

"Then I will buy it for you as a souvenir. I'm afraid this is the last time we meet. If I don't come back, you

will soon forget me." Hoyle would always remember Gail, this smart senior.

"But..." Gail took a look at the price tag, and it was over 100 dollars. Only the palm sized flowerpot

contained a succulent, which was so expensive.

"Don't you want to accept it? Are you so anxious to see me leave?" Hoyle said with a smile, looking

very disappointed.

In fact, Hoyle was really upset. When he noticed that Gail always put the price tag on, he did care

about her very much.

But he couldn't stay with her to take care of her and give her a better life. Moreover, she didn't want to

give him such a chance. Even if it was difficult to realize, she would not even give him a chance to get

close.

Gail was amused. When Hoyle paid, he also took two bunches of baby's breath flowers which were in

her space. Glancing at the red roses, he still didn't have the courage to take it.

Walking out of the flower shop, they were silent again. They stopped at the same time when they

walked to the corner of the street.

"Here you are. You can keep the succulent. You can check the bouquet if it's dry. Just keep it yourself."

Hoyle gave the box and a bunch of well-wrapped flowers to Gail, smiling like a spring breeze.

Gail took it over and said, "Thank you so much. I'll keep them carefully."

Before Gail came to herself, Hoyle stretched out his hands and hugged her.

Astonished, Gail resisted. Hoyle hugged her tightly and said, "You're too thin. Eat more." Then he let go

of her and touched her hair with a smile.

This was the first time Hoyle had been so close to Gail, probably the last time. His departure was like

giving up the girl he liked and the love he had.
