Mysterious Black Card

Chapter 19 – Chocolate Flavors

Jessica did not run away, she sat beside the flower garden below. He lowered his head and his body looked trembling.

　　Abraham approached and looked at him. He wanted to comfort her, but did not know where to start.

　　“After hearing your parents' conversation, I came to understand his condition. Your father was a little lazy and even had a bad attitude. This family only relies on your mother. Before the divorce, although often quarreled, but at that time, the family was still intact. Then when your father cheated and took another woman out for a walk and something happened. I'm guessing it must have been a car accident.Your father is fine, but not with that woman. Since your father was driving drunk, he had to undergo legal proceedings. Out of anger, your mother filed for divorce. The court ruled that you followed your mother, and gave the only treasure with that time, this house, to your mother. But after coming out of the , feeling unwilling, he often came messing up. You also turned into like this from the last year, right? Maybe you are also like your mother, hate father so much like that.”

　　Jessica was dumbfounded, she did not expect that the brief quarrel could make Abraham understand the story completely.

　　He raised his head, on his face there were still black tears. Abraham gave him a tissue.

　　“Actually not difficult to guess, it's just that the previous tutor did not want to interfere, so did not tell you. Look, you do hate fathers like that, but your mother isn't wrong either. You may not want to accept the fact that she is the one who filed for divorce, but all normal women will not be able to hold back if her husband does such a thing. Of course I'm just a stranger, I don't mean to advise you. I'm just saying, your rebellion and everything you're doing is not going to have any effect on your father. He only cares if he can get money from your mother or not just once. If he could get his money once, he would definitely consider your mother an ATM. You can only avenge your mother, but does your mother have to accept your revenge?”

　　“Why did you say he doesn't care about me?” Jessica finally spoke, her voice sounding hoarse.

　　Abraham sat down beside Jessica and said, “If he cares about you, it should be when he comes, he asks you first. But, she did not even pretend to do so, it meant that the man did not care about anything other than her.”

　　Jessica was silent again, she used the tissue Abraham had given her to wipe her face.

　　After throwing away his fist, Abraham saw Jessica's beautiful face, only covered by the thick makeup earlier.

　　“You may feel unhappy, and feel that your unhappiness comes from your parents. So you want to use this way to reply to them..,”.

　　“You don't just talk! Who do you think you are? You think you know everything?! How many minutes do we know? And you've talked about the principle of living with me! I hate people like you the most. You don't know anything, so don't pretend like you understand something! Get the fuck out of here! I don't need a tutor like you!”

　　Instantly, Jessica who had improved immediately shouted again because she offended something.

　　Abraham was surprised, but he understood immediately.

　　“Alright, I guess I guessed it wrong. You don't want to avenge your mother, nor your father. In your heart, you no longer consider him to be your father? I know you crave affection, you feel you have no father, but your mother is busy working and not paying attention to you. So you treat yourself like this, so she can pay more attention to you.”

　　“Omong empty! Not like that! I don't need anyone's attention, I like it like this! Go ye! You already got the money, my business has nothing to do with you! Go!”

　　Looking at Jessica who was shouting loudly, Abraham knew he had already guessed his thoughts.

　　After thinking about it for a while, Abraham stood up and gave the keys to the house to him.

　　“I'll call your mother. Calm yourself.” When he finished speaking, Abraham walked away.

　　Behind her, Jessica looked at him with both eyes wide open, she did not understand Abraham's path of thought.

　　Two steps later, Abraham returned. He took some chocolate out of his pocket and gave it to Jessica, “When you feel bad, eat one chocolate. It can help you calm down.”

　　Seeing the chocolate in her hand, Jessica even more angry, “Who would want your chocolate?!” He threw the chocolate at Abraham who had walked away.

　　Abraham looked no further back. He knew at a time like this, whatever he said to Jessica, would only get an increasingly violent rebellion.

　　Seeing Abraham leaving just like that, Jessica's tears started to come out again. He stared at the exit gate and continued muttering, but did not know what he was saying.

　　After a long time, her tears finally dried up. His two eyes became blurry, the world becoming not as clear as usual.

　　Jessica could hear Abraham's voice again.

　　“When you feel bad, eat one chocolate. It can help you calm down.”

　　Jessica wiped her tears and looked at the chocolate that had already been destroyed from being thrown by her. After hesitating for a moment, he walked over there and picked up his chocolate. Carefully cleaned the dust on top of the chocolate and put it in his mouth.

　　It feels sweet, then there is also a special bitter taste. The two flavors collided with each other, inviting Jessica's appetite.

　　There was an invisible feeling that pushed her, Jessica started picking up chocolates one by one on the floor and finished them all off.

　　Not knowing why, Jessica really felt her mood change for the better. Maybe because of the chocolates, maybe also because of the tears that brought out all his negative emotions.

　　She held the key that Abraham gave her, the palm of Jessica's hand as if she could still feel the warmth left by Abraham.

　　Suddenly, Jessica ran like a madman into the house. He took a phone and called Olivia.

　　Olivia was in a meeting, but when she saw the phone from her son, she chose to pick it up.

　　“How many tutor teacher numbers?”

　　Olivia was a little surprised, she asked, “Teacher Abraham is gone?”

　　“Quick give me the number!” jessica said that while she remained impolite, she always used this way to communicate with her mother. But Olivia could feel the difference, Jessica had never asked the tutors for contact before.

　　Then despite the shock, Olivia still gave Abraham's number to him.

　　At first he wanted to call Abraham and ask him what had happened. But inside the room there were still people waiting for him to continue the meeting. Olivia then saved her phone and returned to the room. He returned to the role of a boss who arranged the job well.
