Woman’s Heart

[Chapter 200]

With the speed of Gerard's responses slowing down recently, Mila had spent the past few days in anxious speculation.

Then, she had ventured a casual inquiry—since it wouldn't do for her to press too hard on such details.

Sure enough, Gerard had been chatting up another woman!

Mila's heart was wracked with sorrow, as though something had been stolen right out of her own heart. In this short time, she'd gotten used to having Gerard around, always being there for her.

Now, she had to share his attention with another girl.

She wasn't happy about this, but she didn't say so outright. Instead, she'd made inquiries as to who she was, how pretty she must be… hints to let Gerard know that she was absolutely furious now!

What happened next? Gerard began talking about what a wonderful, gentle soul she was!

Grrr… Was she to stand there and take this?

Every message she had sent after that had been dripping with acid. Hinting that he was just a bro to her… she had only said that to get back at him a little. Then she went on asking about the other woman, saying that she'd really like to meet her.

Then she had deleted him and vehemently slammed her handphone against the wall, so hard that it shut off!

"What's wrong, Mila? Are you okay?" her roommate asked in worry.

"I'm fine! Good night!" Mila buried her head under the blanket.

"We're sorry, but the device you're trying to reach is currently offline…" Despite numerous attempts, Gerard still couldn't get through.

What on earth was going on with Mila?

He was just a little crestfallen. After all that hard work, he had almost been ready to believe that he really had a chance with Mila, but then… sigh!

Time for bed. Forget about all this nonsense.

The next morning, Gerard went to the cafeteria to have breakfast with Harper and Benjamin.

The moment he stepped into the hall, Harper nudged him and pointed. "Gerard, dude… look who it is!"

Following his gaze, Gerard spied Mila having breakfast with two of her roommates!

Last night's affair still weighed heavily on his mind. Why had Mila blocked him, all of a sudden?

Straight away, he walked over there and sat down across from her.

"Mila, why did you block me last night?" he asked.

"Huh? Did I? I don't recall doing anything like that. Maybe I accidentally clicked something? No way, why would I block you?"

Mila dithered back and forth in a sing-song voice, but her eyes were smoldering with rage.

Gerard pulled out his handphone. "It's true! Look… you've really blocked my number!"

Bam! Mila slapped her chopsticks down onto the table, and hissed, "Is everyone finished? Let's get out of here!"

With one last baleful look at Gerard, Mila turned on her heels and marched off.

"What the hell happened last night, Gerard?" Harper exclaimed. "Mila always used to be so sweet to you—how did the two of you become like this, now?"

"I don't know… One moment we were just chatting as usual, next thing you know… Maybe she's gotten tired of me…" Gerard gave a short, disparaging little laugh.

"Impossible. Something like this doesn't just happen for no reason. Girls crave attention. Go after her! Do you like her or not?"

Perhaps this was the problem with Gerard. Because he cared about Mila, he kept tip-toeing around her feelings. If anything started to go wrong, he gave up straight away.

It also had something to do with his past experiences.

He had only just recently become able to talk to girls without blushing and stuttering too much. As for the subject of understanding a woman's heart… That was probably something he might still need to work on a little.

'She clearly stated that she was only a little sister to me. If I try to pursue her, I might ruin our friendship too!' Gerard wrestled with his inner thoughts.

But Harper was right. Girls craved attention. Perhaps he ought to give her some?
