Blue With You

Shocking News 1

Noah and Lea always part ways when traveling together. Noah would usually arrive and return home first. Later, Lea would follow. Noah often protested, but Lea didn't care.

Lea always had various excuses that Noah would lazily refute. The man didn't like traveling separately like this. He wanted to travel everywhere with Lea, whether it was on the way out or on the way back.

But Noah gave in and got used to it.

Noah got off the plane and had just switched on his mobile phone when Lea's call came through.

"Have you arrived?" Lea asked from the other end.

"Yes. What time is your flight?" asked Noah as he walked out with his head turned to look for someone.

"Mmm... I have something to say," Lea replied.

"What is it?"

"For the next little while, I might not be reachable."

Noah stopped his steps instantly. Irritation began to set in.

"Why, is it because of what we talked about earlier?" asked Noah, his tone starting to rise slightly.

"No, no, not because of that." Lea hurriedly calmed down. "My mother suddenly wanted to go on holiday. So, I invited her to come here instead."

"What about your job?"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you. I've resigned."

"Huh? What? Why?"

"You know that I didn't feel like working there." There were too many manipulative moves that I couldn't keep up with. I need to take care of my mental health, and resigning is the right decision."

"Okay. If that's best for you, Do you want to work at my place?" Noah asked.

"No, I don't. I don't want to work for a while."

Noah saw someone in the pickup line. Noah's face brightened. He raised his hand high and waved, which got the same reply from the man standing outside.

"If that's what's best, just do it. I'll stay by your side," said Noah, who continued his steps outside.

"Noah, can you send me some money? I want to extend my vacation with Mom.

"Sure. I'll transfer it right away. I'm hanging up, okay," said Noah, who was almost at the exit.

"Wait!" interrupted Lea in a loud voice.

"Why?" asked Noah, who stopped his steps for the second time.

"I have something important to ask, and you have to answer it."

"Okay. Ask what?"

"If I suddenly disappeared, what would you do?"

"What would you say? Don't say anything weird. Where are you going to disappear anyway?" asked Noah unhappily. He felt that this conversation was going to go off on a tangent.

"I'm serious, Noah. I want to know how you would be without me."

"You should already know the answer. You already know me inside out, Lea."

"But I want to hear it directly from you." Answer me, Noah. Please."

Noah sighed before answering Lea's question.

"I definitely won't be able to live without you, Lea. I'll look for you anywhere in the world. I'll look for you anyway. So, don't stay away from me. Come on, let's get married, so you won't disappear."

Noah smiled happily as he saw the man he recognized walk over.

"That's it, Lea." I'm already going out. I've also been picked up. Be careful. Keep me posted."

"Wait!"

"What is it, Lea?"

"Do you really love me?"

"Is it necessary to answer?" asked Noah with a chuckle as he found Lea's question rather amusing.

"It does," Lea replied firmly.

"I love you very much, Lea. I don't want to lose you. And without you, I can't live. That's it. Love you."

There was no reply from Lea. Noah frowned in surprise.

"Lea...? Love you..." Noah repeated his words, hoping his girlfriend would respond.

"Take care, Noah. And I love you." After that, Lea closed her mobile phone.

At first, Noah was surprised by Lea's sudden strangeness. But he quickly ignored it because of his longing for the man who picked him up. Noah, too, rushed over.

"Bro!" Noah exclaimed with a big laugh.

The man called 'Bro' laughed widely and immediately hugged Noah tightly.

"That's crazy! You've gone mad, Harry! How could you get married before me? You're an arsehole!" said Noah, accompanied by his laughter.

To his surprise, Harry kept laughing. He extended his hand, offering to carry Noah's backpack, but Noah refused.

"What's the story? You said the girl was ambitious and didn't want to get married."

Harry smiled to himself. He was clearly stalling for an answer. Noah then had a thought of his own and chuckled.

"Wooo... did you do that?" asked Noah enthusiastically with a wink, tempting Harry.

"She's a virgin," Harry replied casually.

"Huh? Then, how did you get her to want to get married?"

Harry remained silent as their car arrived, prompting a driver to rush down, open the door for them, and then place Noah's bag in the boot.

"So?" Noah hadn't forgotten his unanswered question.

"I married someone else."

"What?" squealed Noah in surprise. "You mean, you dumped the girl and found a new one, then married her?"

"I did," replied Harry calmly.

"That's crazy! You know that, don't you?" Noah shook his head in response. "How long have you known her?"

"Five months."

"What? Five months! And you're sure you want to marry her? Explain," Noah asked.

"Hmmm... I don't know... It just kind of happened." We first met at a party, our interactions became more frequent, we talked a lot, and then... well, that's where it ended. We have a lot in common, including about marriage and the future.

I thought there was nothing to postpone. She didn't mind, and everything became smoother. That's all." Harry ended his explanation with a wink.

Noah was completely baffled by Harry's explanation. He couldn't imagine proposing marriage in such a short time. Furthermore, he believed that falling in love was a gradual process, much less getting married.

"Does she know who you are?" asked Noah seriously.

Harry looked at his older brother with a confused expression. He asked the seemingly silly question with seriousness.

"Obviously, she knows who I am. Hey, Bro..., we're getting married," Harry replied with amusement.

"I mean, when you guys first met, did she know who you were?" Noah clarified his question.

"Hahaha, I'm not like you; you're too complicated in love." Harry was reminded without offending his brother.

"I don't have a reason to hide my identity, like you, from your lover." It's too complicated," Harry continued.

"I have my reasons." Noah replied softly and turned his gaze to the road.

"And has she accepted your proposal to marry?"

Noah exhaled. He didn't want to answer, and Harry didn't insist.
