All Chapters of Miss-Understanding: Chapter 31 - Chapter 38

"Um, Lizzie, I'm not being rude or anything, but how did you know Mr Wilson since he was a child?" I have no idea about this backstory, so before I tell her some details, I should know how much she knows about him."Oh, we go way back. When I was in my late twenties, I worked as a professor and Chris' mother was my student. She was my favorite student, too. I know teachers should not have a favorite student but I could not help it, she was very lovable."I see that Chris did not inherit any features from his mother. He was not very likable, one had to spend some time with him and only then would one call him an 'acquaintance', Mr Wilson really needs to improve his communication skills if he wants friends. But then again, Mr Wilson is the type who doesn't care if he doesn't have friends."Anyway, she was the one who helped me when I eloped so I was always grateful to her. Without her help, there would be a 'Mrs Carlson'. I used to take care of Chris most of the t

After that was done he turned to look at me, I lifted my face abruptly and only then I realised how close we were standing to each other. Our faces were a few inches apart. We just looked at each other.....absolute silence."....""...."Mr Wilson looked into my eyes while he tucked a few strands of my hair behind my ear. I pushed him away with all my might and stuttered, "Um, you keep doing that and I'll go outside because I have some work to do, there, outside and not inside. So if you have any problem, don't call me."I immediately ran away from there."Ms, Ms Brown?" Mr Wilson was very confused as to why I ran away. Sigh, he really does not know a girl's heart. He looked at his hand, which I held, he closed it to make a fist and opened it again. He glanced at the direction which I left in a hurry before resuming his task.I stood under a tree far away from the guesthouse. My heart felt as if it was in my throat. I placed my hand on my ch

"How about we increase the stakes, Ms Brown? The loser has to reveal a secret she has been keeping." He smirked."!!!"Does he know something? And 'she'? He's sure that I'll lose?"Mr Wilson, I think you're biting off more than you can chew. But okay, I agree."I shuffled the pack of cards without breaking off the eye contact with Mr Wilson. He looked laid back and chill, as if he knew he was going to win. If not for the tugs near his lips I'd be genuinely scared.After I dealt the cards I said, "Mr Wilson, since we are already risking so much, we might as well play blind."Mr Wilson shrugged in agreement. There was no 'fold' option (backing out) anyway.I flipped over all the five cards at once: Ace of spades, diamond Jack, clover King, diamond King and nine of hearts.We showed each other the cards, Mr Wilson showed his first, he carelessly threw the cards on the table. "Show off." I grunted.He had two Queens with him

I quickly changed my outfit into a pair of T-shirt and shorts. Mr Wilson literally sat right there without moving. He was still holding the newspaper. The only difference is that he was not drinking coffee. He still has his glasses on. After I walked out he smiled at me affectionately? Was I imagining it, or did he actually look at me affectionately? Ahem, stop blushing, you idiot!"Good morning, Mr Wilson." I smiled back at me while tugging a strand of hair behind my ear. Yeesh, I was behaving like a schoolgirl in love. Act mature, Lia."It is 11 o'clock, Ms Brown.""..." Dude, I greet you once in a while. And when I greet you, what should you do? You should accept it and not tell me 'facts'. Yeah, I know it's 11 a.m, but it's too late to be morning and too early to be 'afternoon', what the hell should I say?And so I cursed him a few times while maintaining a smile. Just when I thought he is not so bad, he just proves me wrong. Sigh, why is love hard?
