Chapter 382: My heart hurts

Karl was taken aback by her words and stared at her with confusion when she let out a humorless chuckle.

"I hope you must’ve. She must be feeling better by now"

Gwen didn’t leave a chance to taunt him. The scene she had been trying to forget crossed her mind once again when he came to meet her.

"Are you doubting me, Gwen?" Karl suddenly asked out of the blue.

"Who am I to doubt you" she shrugged ignoring his hurtful look. She was going to fall for his innocent face. She knew he wasn’t at fault but whatever she saw, couldn’t be avoided.

Karl was feeling hurt by Gwen’s harsh words. It didn’t take him time to understand what she was trying to point out.

He assumed that Gwen had already witnessed Linda hugging him, but instead of letting him explain for exactly what happened between the two, she was doubting him.

"If that’s what you feel then, let it be" he declared taking a deep breath and stood up from his seat.

"I thought we would have cleared our difference but guess you aren’t ready to listen to me"

Gwen’s eyes grew wide on his sudden declaration but she quickly masked her astonishment and pursed her lips into a thin line.

She thought Karl knew her so much that he would be able to understand why she left the office without informing him. She thought he would come to speak to her that whatever she said wasn’t the truth, but instead of explaining to her, he was rather agreeing to her accusation.

Both of them kept staring at each other with complicated emotions flowing through their gaze but no one utter a word in their defense. Their egos took over their love and without speaking another word, Karl marched out of the room in fury.

"Young miss.." the voice of the maid snapped Gwen out of her trance as she turned to her with utter confusion marred on her face and watched her keep two glasses of water on the table ahead before she turned and left.

She couldn’t believe Karl would just walk away without even saying a word, leaving the conversation mid-way.

Meanwhile, Karl hopped into his car and drove out from the mansion’s gate getting all enraged by Gwen’s accusation.

Nothing hurt more to him than her words. ’Did she have this little trust in him’ he thought and raced his car clutching the steering wheel firmly into his palms driving straight to the bar.

He just wanted to ease up and forget everything that he heard from Gwen’s mouth. The girl who didn’t even trust him, why would he get worried for her?

Entering the bar, he walked towards the counter and ordered him a drink. Karl wasn’t fond of drinking. It was very rare when he would have a drink as he believed to have very low alcohol tolerance but tonight, he didn’t care.

He just wanted to forget the pain he had been feeling inside his heart and the only thing that could soothe it was alcohol.

After about fifteen minutes, Karl was almost two drinks down and was already getting tipsy. His head started to spin and his vision turned blurry.

"One.. more.." he requests the bartender to pour him another glass with his slurry voice and suddenly he sensed someone standing next to him.

"Karl..." a sweet voice reached his ears and he turned to look at the person.

His eyes widen in surprise and a smile found its way to his lips as he called that person’s name with utmost longing," Gwen..."

****

Meanwhile, a car stopped in front of the Knight mansion and both Tristan and Ashley stepped out of the car.

"Just because I came here doesn’t mean you are forgiven Tristan" Ashley snapped shooting a glare at her husband who only pouted in response.

If not for Gwen, she wouldn’t have let this man get closer to her. Without sparing another glance she entered the house with Tristan silently tailing her like a lost puppy.

Quickly making their way toward Gwen’s room, Ashley then knocked on her door.

"Wasn’t I clear when I told you all not to disturb me" Gwen yelled getting pissed by the sudden knock thinking it was again the maid who came to disturb her.

Both Ashley and Tristan glanced at each with confusion when Ashley once again knocked on the door but this time she called out her name.

"Gwen, it’s me Ashley" As if she heard her, Gwen didn’t yell this time nor did she respond to her words.

After exactly a minute passed and she finally opened the door and quickly turned around walking back deep into her room.

Heaving a deep sigh both Ashley and Tristan followed her.

*****

Inside the silent room, both Tristan and Ashley settled on the couch while Gwen sat by the edge of her bed with her eyes lowered.

Since the time they came she never once spoke a word nor did she lift her head to look at them.

By the looks, it appeared that she had been crying the entire time as her cheeks and the tip of her nose had turned red.

Another minute passed and when she still didn’t speak it was Tristan who broke the silence.

"What’s wrong Gwen? Why is your phone turned off" Getting up from his seat he then walked toward Gwen and sat next to her. His hand instantly wrapped around her shoulder as he carefully brushed her arm breaking the shield of silence.

A sob escaped her mouth as she finally raised her head and turned to look at her brother. Her tears once again began to roll down her eyes and before she immediately hugged him burying her face into his chest.

"My heart hurts brother..." she cried as she could bear the pain anymore.

Tristan was taken aback by her words as he moved his eyes to look at Ashley who too seemed utterly surprised.

A deep crease marred his face as he pulled his attention back to Gwen. He let her cry until she finally calmed a little and it was then he made her look at him with his hands resting on her shoulder and asked.

"Tell me what’s bothering you" his voice was a little gentle but more of serious as he asked her to speak.

Hiccupping her sobs Gwen wiped off the tears from her face and started telling them everything.

Tristan couldn’t believe Karl would end up doing this, but he also couldn’t blame him because he didn’t know his side of the story.

"I don’t want to talk with him" she suddenly spoke taking both of them surprised by her out burst.
