As You Wish, I Am Leaving

“But you have to know that I am your elder and this is the only relationship between us, do you understand?”

I felt bitter in my heart. It turned out that he had seen my feelings for him a long time ago, so was this a warning to me?

I took the phone and sure enough, there were dozens of missed calls.

“I was just sleeping too deeply and didn’t hear it. I didn’t mean to not answer it.”

Jamie sneered, “Do you think I will believe it? Look, it’s noon now. Who would still be asleep? And since that time, we agreed that we would never not answer each other’s calls. You knew how anxious I would be if I couldn’t get through to you. Have you forgotten?”

Three years ago, my classmates and I went to the cinema to watch a movie. My phone was muted. Jamie, who was already on the plane, couldn’t get through to me, so he threatened to fly back to the city, causing a lot of trouble.

When he saw me in the cinema, he was so scared that he trembled all over. He hugged me tightly in his arms and his eyes were wet.

“Georgia, don’t not answer my calls in the future, otherwise I will go crazy.” It was also at that time that I had a crush on him like a young girl in love.

After experiencing his madness, no matter where I was, my phone was always fully charged. After all, I answered his calls in seconds, just to prevent him from worrying. “I really overslept and didn’t hear the call. It wasn’t intentional, Uncle Jamie.”

After hearing my address, he froze and the look in his eyes when he looked at me had an emotion I couldn’t see clearly.

“Why did you suddenly call me that?”

Facing his deep gaze, I tried to suppress my emotions and raised a smile. “Is there anything wrong with calling me that? You are my uncle.”

He opened his mouth and looked at me deeply, his tone full of anxiety and impatience.

“Whatever you want. For you, I left Lane alone at the venue. You should pack up now and come with me and apologize to her by the way. I don’t know what will happen if I leave you alone at home.”

I wanted to refuse, but I shut up when I saw his eyes.

I was just a burden to him. He was just my father’s sworn brother, but he had raised me for ten years in vain. Maybe I shouldn’t embarrass him anymore.

“Okay.”

Seeing that I agreed, he breathed a sigh of relief, but was stunned when he saw me go out and get in the car.

“Why are you so pale?”

I was surprised that he finally noticed my abnormality. Just when I was about to explain, he spoke again in an impatient tone. “Did you deliberately make yourself look like this just to attract my attention? Georgia, you…”

Suddenly, my throat began to feel bitter. No matter how much I explained, it would only make me ridiculous.

“I just forgot to put on lipstick, sorry.”

He looked at me inquiringly and then his cell phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the phone and his whole breath became much gentler.

“Jamie, why haven’t you come back yet? I’m so scared alone. Just now, a few people wanted to force me to drink, I…”

Jamie’s breath suddenly became cold and he nervously comforted her, then suddenly started the car.

“Wait for me, I’ll be there soon.”

The car’s speed reached 180 miles per hour. Before I could fasten my seat belt, my head hit the car in front of me. I groaned in pain. Just when I wanted him to slow down, he frowned and looked at me.

“Did you hear Lane was in danger and you deliberately bumped into her to get my attention? Lane is very scared now. I need to rush over as soon as possible. Can you please stop playing tricks?”
