Chapter 15 Self-esteem That had Been Stripped Off
Ava gritted her teeth, one hand had trembled on the first button of her jacket, her vision gradually blurred, but for the first time, she suddenly felt that her tears, just superfluous, simply can not exchange a trace of sympathy.
Ava’s hazel teary eyes gradually lost their luster and turned from fear to despair as she closed her eyes and unbuttoned the first button, her tears, too, fell coldly to the ground along her face, shattered, as if all her pride and all her feelings had gone up in smoke with that one tear.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
The corners of her mouth curled up in a smile that mocked herself, now she was really no different from Susan.
Noah saw the smile at the corner of Ava’s mouth, and I don’t know why, but what he saw seemed to be a smile, but that expression had a sadness and despair that couldn’t be dissolved, a sadness and despair that gave him no pleasure at all as a victor, but rather a depressing feeling that was hard to explain.
He moved his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he said nothing. He watched with a frown as Ava unbuttoned the first button and then quickly unbuttoned the second, third and fourth, until all the buttons of a jacket were unbuttoned.
Underneath the jacket is a T-shirt that has some pilling, and this opulent hotel looks how out of place, the wind from the outside of the open jacket poured in the same, Ava that thin body can not help but shiver a little.
She didn’t even look at Noah. Ava shivered like a robot as she cowered and took off her coat, which she threw on the floor like garbage, as if she was free from a nightmare.
The arrogance in Noah’s eyes transformed into a surge of darkness, his lips tightly closed, so that the original lines of the already very hard side of the face seems even colder, his gaze locked on the body has been trembling Ava, frowning slightly, Susan does not know what he was thinking.
Ava’s hand on the hem of her T-shirt couldn’t help but tremble as she flexed her hand hard and pulled the T-shirt hard over her head with a violent push.
The clothes are a few years old, the collar is too small stuck in their own neck, she like a tyrannical little beast as hard as a yank, the clothes a hard scrape across Ava’s face, like a slap of fate and ridicule, like a slap, raw pain. However, there is no pain in her heart. Her heart had already been torn apart the moment she decided to give up her pride and take off her clothes in the corridor where she would be seen unclothed at any moment.
Inside the T-shirt is a small undershirt, Ava’s hands on the straps of the small undershirt, just taking off the T-shirt seems to have drained all the strength in her body, Ava’s hands shaking more powerful, at the moment she is like a dead leaf, in the autumn wind can only shiver, but can not dominate their own stay.
Already the last piece, Ava kept her eyes closed, not daring to open them at all, now surrounded by what seemed like a bright mirror, showing her humility, helplessness, despair and already shattered self-esteem with impunity.
She really can’t do it, the straps of the undershirt seems to be born with a lot of venomous thorns, piercing her heart with a thousand holes, hesitated, she still gritted her teeth and put down her hand, she really can’t do it.
Noah looked at her smooth collarbone, her thin arms, and the tears that were slowly sliding down the corners of her eyes, he couldn’t help but avert his eyes to look at Susan, who was looking at Ava with a mocking gaze, Noah frowned and put his eyes back on Ava.
Ava’s hands were unbuckling the waistband of her pants. She didn’t look down, her hands fumbled around her waist as if she were a sluggish old man, and she couldn’t untie them for half a day.
Noah suddenly remembered the first day he met her, she was also that awkwardly unbuttoned, her expression is also like now, confused and helpless, pain and fear, but also a stubbornness that can not be understood, he suddenly felt the air around a little stuffy, unconsciously tugged his hand on the tie around his neck.
“Pfft!” Susan couldn’t help but laugh “What an age it is! There’s still a girl in her twenties wearing these boxer shorts! I think They’re worn by older women nowadays. What a laugh!”
Ava’s face had turned red, she stood there in a hurry, both hands simply did not know where to put, she felt that the removal of a piece of clothing is like her self-esteem her skin her protective color, now, the whole has lost all she felt every second is like a century so long.
“I thought how noble! But it’s just like a whore, no, I see, it’s really more shameless than a whore!” Susan shrugged her shoulders and said contemptuously, finishing with a spit of disgust on the ground.
Noah’s brow furrowed imperceptibly at Susan’s disdain.
At this time, Ava, like a transparent and perfect glass doll, but the next second will be broken, so that people can not grasp Noah’s hands can not help but hold together.
“Come here.” Just as Ava was about to pull her boxers with trembling hands, a silent Noah spoke to her with no audible ripple in his tone, as if he was just giving orders.
Susan looked at Noah with some confusion, Ava heard this, her hand stiffened slightly, and then froze, staring at Noah, her eyes already clouded with a layer of moisture could not see Noah clearly, but she only knew that the person in front of her felt fear and humiliation, but she simply did not have the strength to run away.
Ava, who was standing there naked and still shaking, looked like the first dewdrop on the leaves in the morning, her youthful body emitting a simple daughters fragrance, but she was already so thin and weak, and with her recent part-time job, the whole person seemed like a mist that would evaporate under the sun.
She makes people so want to go to give her warmth, but as soon as they get close, as if they will shake this dewdrop from the leaves and fall to pieces, and as if they will be evaporated by their own light and heat, and can only lose both.
“Noah…” saw Noah give Ava a chance to get closer, Susan, who had been hung out to dry, finally couldn’t help but speak up, in her eyes she didn’t see the hick in front of her as a rival, but the truth was not what she expected.
She puffed up her lips with bright lipstick and slowly walked towards Noah, twisting her water-snake waist. Her gaze swept over Ava, who was leaning against the wall, and her eyes were like a sharp sword, trying to cut a hole in Ava’s body.
I heard the whispering voice, and then look at the enchanting woman wrapped around him like a tailed bear, somehow I felt disgusted. Noah tensed up his face and pushed away the woman who was wrapped around him with one hand, quite unhappily.
“If you were smart, you shouldn’t have stayed here.” His voice was cold, and when he said this, his eyes deliberately looked in the direction of Ava, with some warning in his eyes.
The little woman, tormented by her pride and remaining pride, just raised her head and met Noah’s gaze, the man’s eyes were so deep that they seemed to want to suck her in.
She was not a fool, of course she knew what Noah meant. But now that she has taken this step, pride and self-respect become luxuries, and a life like hers is not worthy of luxury.
” Noah, what’s so good about this malnourished woman, better let me serve you, you know I’m good at it.”
But Noah didn’t seem interested in such teasing and grabbed Susan’s hand on his chest and said coldly with a grimace, “You’re not only not smart enough, you’re stupid enough.”
He shook off the woman’s hand violently, without even a hint of sympathy. Like a waiter from hell, he opened his black feathers to make everything around him instantly dull.
Ava watched him treat a woman so casually, like a piece of clothing that was left unworn. The corners of her mouth were filled with a bitter smile, and she saw her future in Susan’s body.
This man is emotionless and treats everyone the same.
Although reluctantly, Susan knew she would only attract more contempt by staying here. The face covered under the delicate makeup
The fierce expression was shown on the cold gaze swept from Ava’s body, eyes full of resentment biting the lower lip, she did not obey.
After a moments pause, Noah swept a glance at the thin woman in the corner out of the corner of his eye. Brows slightly frowned, eyes full of impatience, what the hell is she doing? Did not hear his words?
“Come here.” When Ava didn’t move, Noah’s hand pressed his temple and bit out those two words from between his lips.
Ava put her hands on her chest and moved towards Noah step by step. There were only a few steps between her and Noah, but Ava felt as if it was a galaxy long, and every step she took seemed to be stepping on her own tears and pride turned into a sharp knife, and every step made her ache.
Ava’s head was lowered and she could see Noah’s shiny shoes slowly appearing in her field of vision, slowly getting bigger and bigger.
The thin body trembled and stood in front of the man, she buried her head very low, as if trying to find a place to accommodate her in this suffocating space. The tears fell down the corners of the eyes, sliding into the neck actually with an intimidating beauty.
Noah’s hawk-like gaze tightened around her, intense but with some unreadable meaning. It seemed to her that this man only saw her as a whore, and was now merely scrutinizing, looking at her like an object.
