chapter135-I was nothing

Karl's pov

I carried the cat upstairs, and when I reached the door of my room, I casually dropped Jinbang onto the floor.

"Sleep outside," I said, and the cat entered the room indifferently.

I had to continue working on my homework. I turned the pen between my fingers and gazed at the test paper. The pen slid around my fingertips, and just then, my phone on the desk vibrated.

Jacob had sent two messages. ​

I pulled the corner of my lips slightly but didn't bother to read the full messages. I locked the screen and tossed the phone onto the desk.

I tapped my fingers on the tabletop, creating a rhythmic beat: tap, tap, tap, one sound overlapping the next.

My thoughts went back to the afternoon.

After Cecilia had rejected Bruno's well-intentioned offer, he stood still, looking at the paper in his hand. he slowly closed his five fingers, pinching a soft corner of the paper to wipe away imaginary sweat on my forehead.
