Chapter 17 " I'm sorry … I'm sorry … " He spoke in a hoarse voice , saying countless apologies , but the person who s should have truly heard them was not by his side at that moment . Tears blurred my vision , and before my eyes appeared the scene of the first time I saw Carleigh . It was a very ordinary summer afternoon when suddenly a shower came down . She had no umbrella , and was wearing a white dress . Being caught in the rain , she got completely soaked , and the dress clung tightly to her body , becoming somewhat translucent . Carleigh also realized the awkwardness on her body , desperately trying to cover up the key areas with a look of embarrassment on her face , as the raindrops the size of beans kept falling , drenching her like a drowned rat . He drove past her , only giving her a casual glance , but all his attention was drawn to her , and his heart was uncontrollably pounding . At that time , he realized very clearly that he had fallen in love " . So he stopped the car , opened the door and asked her , " Do you want to get in and freshen up a bit ? You seem a little uncomfortable . " Carleigh lifted her head in the direction of the voice , and at the moment she made eye contact with him , Keshawn's heart almost jumped out of his throat , his brain paused , and all he could hear was the sound of his own heartbeat . But she saw that he was a young man , very cautious , and refused without hesitation . " Sorry , thank you for your kindness , but no need . " Seeing her about to leave , Keshawn didn't want to miss this opportunity . Against all odds , he grabbed her hand and helped her into the car , even taking off his jacket and draping it over her . " Don't worry , I won't get on the car . This rain shouldn't last long . We just need to wait for it to stop . " He stood outside the car , dumbfounded , letting the rain soak him through . He didn't even remember that he had an umbrella . Perhaps love came too suddenly , and he forgot everything , only wanting to spend more time with her , Later , he shamelessly asked for her contact information , Investigated the trajectory of her daily life , deliberately created countless coincidences , confessed countless times . On the day when his confession was successful , he was the happiest person in the whole world . Keshawn had never imagined that he would love someone so much . After all , the example set by his parents was right in front of him . His father was a monster who didn't know how to love , indiscriminately seeking the feeling of love from those women . and Until he met his mother , who was an exception , he didn't love her , but only wanted to possess her , so he disregarded everything and forcibly took her , who loved someone else , back home and forced her to give birth to a child . His mother couldn't accept giving birth to the culprit , but couldn't escape either , so she committed suicide in front of him . He witnessed his mother's death with his own eyes and his father's cold madness . Keshawn once thought , " he would be like his father and not fall in love with anyone . " But now , he has become a combination of his parents , " like his mother , deeply in love with someone, yet like his father , deeply hurting the person he loves . " Keshawn blamed himself and kept drinking alcohol . After drinking for who knows how long , the bottles of wine beside him were all empty , haphazardly piled on the ground . He lay on the sofa , drunk , curled up in a ball without a sense of security . Even though he had a stomach perforation due to excessive drinking , he remained unfazed and showed no intention of getting up His pale face only revealed fils vulnerability at the moment . Keshawn endured the pain silently , like a masochist , When Carleigh was being tortured in the past , it must have been a thousand times a hundred times more painful than it is now , right ?
