"He almost spent every day courting you in college. I've never seen a man love someone that much. At that time, I thought someone must be stupid enough to break up with Eden and be with someone else..."
She seemed to realize that she said something wrong and quickly shut up.
But Jade wasn't listening at all.
She was still thinking about the woman's voice that came from the other end of the line.
There was a dim, obscure light flickering in her eyes.
I had experienced great mood swings these days.
My love for Jade had completely disappeared.
But hearing her voice, I still felt annoyed and even a little sick.
Harley noticed it.
She wrapped herself in a bathrobe and sat up gracefully, opened the door of the hotel room, and pushed in a small cart.
It was filled with various exquisite desserts and drinks.
She ate the desserts slowly while quietly watching me.
She just woke up and was without makeup, but her delicate features were somehow highlighted.
The messy hair in front of her forehead added to her charm.
I realized something.
We had sex last night, and now, I was upset about another woman who was deeply entangled with me.
It was rude to leave Harley aside just like this.
I was about to apologize.
Meanwhile, she handed me a piece of cake with a fork and put it in my mouth.
She said softly, "It's fine. You have your troubles, and it's normal. You don't need to explain to me. I'm not your girlfriend anyway."
"I..."
I didn't know what to say.
She chuckled.
"But I'm not saying it won't change.
"I will give you time. I will wait for you."
Harley came over and sat on me.
Her bathrobe was half open.
I held her, feeling her soft body and well-proportioned curves through the thin bathrobe with both hands.
Just when I was about to have sex with her again.
She suddenly pushed me away gently.
"Let's go."
"Where to?"
"You'll go on a date with me."
We watched the sunset on the beach.
We embraced in the private bath of the hot spring.
We kissed on the Ferris wheel of the Melbourne Star.
We tasted vintage wines at a winery in the Yarra Valley.
In just a few days, Harley took me to explore the whole of Melbourne.
It was completely different from the dates I had with Jade.
She always took my money and went out with her friends, and sometimes she'd stay out all night.
She never treated me seriously.
But Harley was different.
She even openly made a Vlog of our trip and posted it on a platform.
