Chapter 255: Overcoming their silent fears
[FLASHBACK]
Sniffles and hiccups echoed in the empty closed restaurant, causing the veins in Jessa’s forehead to protrude.
"That’s it!" Jessa slammed down her glass and snapped at Allison, who had been crying her heart out. "You — why are you crying?!"
Allison had been trying her best not to cry aloud, but she couldn’t help it. She wiped her eyes and looked at Jessa apologetically.
"I’m upset! That’s why!" Allison yelled, her cheeks red from drinking more than she should. "I’m very angry and upset, and it makes me cry! Is that bad?!"
Jessa clicked her tongue. "This crybaby..."
"How can I not cry? It’s so upsetting. Are you not upset?" Allison hiccuped. "You were so close... I hate this feeling. If you’re not crying, then I’ll cry! Let me be!"
Allison shamelessly continued bawling her eyes out for herself and for Jessa.
Today, Jessa had been eliminated in the semi-finals of Master Chef, and Allison couldn’t help but feel upset and cry about it. As for Jessa, she ruffled her hair in irritation before taking another shot of vodka.
"Tss." Jessa huffed and leaned against the table. "Of course, I’m upset."
Allison slowly looked at Jessa. "Then why aren’t you crying?"
"Because you’re already crying!!!" Jessa yelled in irritation. "How can I cry when you’re already crying?"
