Way Back Into Love (Essie)

"I know. There are only you and me in the room now. There is no outsider. We can have a small discussion." Eva grinned cheekily. She was very curious about Jim's gossip.

"Heaven pepper, don't forget that you still owe me. Go and make dessert for me. I'm hungry," Jim ordered impatiently.

Looking at him, Eva was sure that he hadn't had a good meal these days. It would be strange if he was not hungry.

"Well, I'll make some dessert for you." Then she turned around and walked out of the room.

Looking at the direction in which she disappeared, Jim's eyes darkened, as if they were covered by a shadow, no color, only pain.

Eva made Hodgepodge for Jim.

"Don't drink alcohol anymore. Milk is nutritious." She opened a can of milk and put it in front of him.

Jim was really hungry. He hadn't had a good meal for three days, and his stomach was full of alcohol.

This was the second time he allowed himself to indulge himself after the accident of Janice, and also the last time.

Eva sat next to him eat with him. It was dinner time and she was hungry.

She didn't speak until he was full.

"Scum Jim, when you were drunk, you told me a big secret."

The corners of Jim's mouth twitched slightly. "You forget what I said just now. If you know too much, you will die soon."

"I said I would never tell anyone. But don't you want to know what you said to me when you were drunk? I heard that people would reveal their true feelings after they get drunk. You were telling the truth, right?" Eva's thick long eyelashes flickered cunningly.

"What did I say?" Jim asked, his handsome face moving closer.

"Let me ask you first. Who did you dream of?" Eva smiled weirdly.

Of course he dreamed of this idiot like a trilobite. Jim cast a sidelong glance at her and said with a mischievous smile, "It seems to be a woman."

"Is it Janice?" Eva asked hurriedly.

"No." Jim shrugged.

At this moment, Eva realized that Jim was probably not reciting the lines, but expressing his love to a woman. He had fallen in love with another woman. He looked lonely and drowned his sorrows in wine. It was very likely that he was refused by that woman, or that woman had someone she liked and didn't like him.

God! He was so arrogant! How dared any woman in the world refuse him? They were all the kind of people who would die for him and beg for his love?

"Scum Jim, you've gone too far!" She thumped the table and jumped up, "Janice has suffered so much for you. She loves you so much. How dare you fall in love with someone else? Do you deserve her?" A light of fire flashed through Jim's eyes. "Heaven pepper, are you crazy?"

"I hate jerks who have an affair." Eva summoned up her courage to fight against him.

Jim twisted her up and forced her into a corner. "Didn't you say that I should forget about Janice and move on?"

"Yes, I did. But now, Janice is back." Eva stammered. She seemed to think of something and was shocked, "You fell in love with that woman before Janice comes back?"

Jim didn't say anything and seemed to acquiesce.

Eva covered her mouth and thought, 'Oh my God! How could this happen? Since Janice has come back and Jim has fallen in love with someone else, isn't this an annoying triangle?'

"Scum Jim, is that woman in the entertainment circle?"

Jim didn't say anything but acquiesced.

"The heroine who had acted with you?"

Jim continued to acquiesce.

Eva began to search in her mind. The heroine who had acted with Jim was not an ordinary person. Her senior, Nicole, had also cooperated with Jim. She could use the method of exclusion to find her. "Is she fresh, adorable or charming?"

"She is an idiot." Jim grabbed her ear and said, "She's just an ordinary girl and an idiot."

"It's impossible. If she is so bad, how could you like her?" Eva was shocked.

"Maybe I have a cramp in my brain." Jim glared at her. This stupid trilobite might be an ancient virus. It invaded his emotional system all of a sudden, and all his immune factors were destroyed. Touching her chin, Eva thought carefully and looked at him in confusion. "Are there any girl who is ordinary and an idiots among the heroines you cooperated with?"

"What do you think?" Jim sneered and looked at her without blinking.

All of a sudden, Eva's face turned red. There was indeed only one, herself!

Jim, the bastard, was teasing her!

"Scum Jim, I'm talking serious business with you. Don't talk nonsense, okay?"

Jim raised his hand and grabbed her chin, "Heaven pepper, how do you know I'm talking nonsense? Maybe I really like you a little."

"If you like me, we have to fall into a parallel world, or the sun rises from the west, the moon falls to the East, and the Mars finds aliens, and the Harley comet is about to hit the earth," Eva sneered. "Heaven pepper, why are you so unconfident in yourself? Do you feel inferior?" Jim frowned.

"I have a clear estimation of myself. Don't you admire me about that most?" Eva shrugged. Because of her family, she had always been living in the gap between self-esteem and inferiority. Jim's sharp tongue was like a hard kick on her self-esteem, pushing her into the cliff of inferiority. She would rather die than believe that Jim would fall in love with her.

There was a faint smile on the corner of Jim's mouth, and it was more like a silent sigh.

"Heaven pepper, when can you be smarter?"

"No matter how smart the trilobite is, it is only half a grain of rice in size." Eva stuck out her tongue.

Jim walked to the bar counter and wanted to get a glass of wine, but she grabbed it and said, "Scum Jim, you can't drink anymore. If you drink more, you will have a stomachache."

"Heaven pepper, are you caring about me?" Jim turned around with a gleam on his face.

"Scum Jim, although you don't treat me as a friend and only treat me as a debtor, I still treat you as a friend." Eva smiled, went to the fridge and gave him a can of juice.

Jim opened it and took a sip. "Well, I'll try my best to take you as my friend."

"Really?" Eva grinned happily with two dimples on her cheeks.

"You are so happy just to be my friend. If I want to marry you as my wife, won't you be overjoyed?" Jim teased.

"You marry me? Then I will definitely cry to death. No, I will be poisoned to death. Your tongue is so sharp and poisonous that I can't defend myself even if my detoxifying function has evolved for ten times. I just want to marry my Vinton, who is a warm little sun and can make me warm every day." Eva giggled. As soon as she mentioned Vinton, she looked happy.

Seeing this, Jim felt a sharp pain in his heart. "I know you are very happy. Can you keep a low profile?" She had to beat him to death to feel at ease?

"Well, I know you are in a dilemma now. You don't want to disappoint Janice, and you can't forget that beauty, so you can only drink to drown your sorrows," Eva said, patting him on the shoulder sympathetically.

"You know too much, heaven pepper." Jim grabbed the grapes on the tea table and stuffed them into her mouth.

While eating, Eva said in a vague voice, "You will get sick if you keep something to yourself. Since I know it by accident, you can take me as a trash can and release it. I have a huge capacity and can digest myself. I promise I can only let it in and won't release a bit out."

Jim gulped down a mouthful of juice. Alcohol was really harmful. He had said everything he shouldn't have! He remembered clearly that he was dreaming. Why was this idiot really there?

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Eva felt that he agreed. He approached him gently, covered his mouth and said in a very low voice, "I heard that beauty seems not to have a feeling on you. Why don't you break up with her before you fall in love with her and treat Janice wholeheartedly? After all, she is the one who really loves you."

Before she finished speaking, she felt a gust of cold wind blowing on her face, which made her shiver.

"I'm just speculating. It's just a speculation. In fact, the possibility is very small. Who are you? The young master of the Jing family and the Nine Heavens Mysterious God in the entertainment circle. As long as you chase her, she can't resist. Even if she refuses, she is playing hard to get. Unless she is a weirdo, or..."

"An idiot." Before she finished her words, Jim blurted for her.

"Yes, idiot." Eva nodded.

All of a sudden, Jim's face was so close to hers that she was frightened to move backward to keep a safe distance from him.

"Do you also like playing hard to get?"

"No, I don't like it. I'm straightforward and I don't like to beat around the bush." Eva shook her head like a rattle drum.

Jim pursed his lips and asked seriously, "Can I ask you a question?"

"Okay." Eva nodded.

"You have to answer honestly."

"Okay."

"If one day we really fall into a parallel world, who will you choose if I like you and pursue you with Vinton?" Jim's brown eyes twinkled in the light.

Eva took a deep breath and thought, 'This question is so weird. Is it a brain twister?'

"Of course I choose my Vinton."

"Why?" Jim suddenly frowned.

"I like Vinton. I will never betray him, even if I die," Eva said firmly.

Jim's handsome face slowly twisted, and this answer ruthlessly pushed him into the abyss.

"Heaven pepper, I am different from what I am now in the parallel world. I will spoil and love you. I will only do better than Vinton, absolutely not worse than him. Will you like me?"

Eva was stunned. The scene was too far away to imagine.
