During the time Evelyn was in the hospital, Ethan never came and she didn’t ask about his news again, until the day Evelyn was about to be discharged when Ethan finally made a phone call
“I have been too busy lately, so I didn’t go to see you. I heard that you were discharged from the hospital today, and I will have my assistant take you back
later.”
Evelyn nodded and didn’t speak again, but Ethan didn’t hang up the phone. She thought he had something else to say and waited for him to speak
But he hesitated for a moment and then asked about her condition, “How are you recovering?”
“I was fine, you can take care of Sophia without worrying about me” Finally, she received his belated concern, but Evelyn’s heart was no longer filled with joy, only a distant formality remained,
Ethan listened to her response and was about to explain,
The sound of the phone hanging up had already come from the other end of the line.
Three days before leaving Kingstead, Evelyn had packed all of her belongings, and it was at this time that Ethan returned
He looked at the big and small packages on the ground and couldn’t help but ask, “What are you packing, for?”
“Only three days left until school starts, so I decided to tidy up in advance.
Evelyn placed the last item into the suitcase, her tone flat, showing no signs of any abnormalities. However, Ethan inexplicably felt anxious and asked,
you bringing so much luggage for the start of school?”
Π
“Are
“Yeah, just bring all of these at once, so we won’t have to bother anymore.” She didn’t pay attention to his inquiry and placed the packed suitcase in the comer before looking back at him. “Uncle, can you have a meal with me at home before school starts? I want to cook a meal for you.”
A very simple request, but Ethan did not immediately agree. He paused and then said, “We can have a meal anytime. Your university is in the same city, and I will also move to a house near Cyndale Institute of Technology afterwards. There’s no need to rush.”
“Just this once, once is enough,” Evelyn looked at him, her eyes filled with a determination not seen in a long time.
He had taken care of her for ten years, and she wanted to cook a meal for him as a final farewell.
し
Ethan looked at her and finally surrendered
“Suit yourself.”
After that day, Evelyn had been busy dealing with various matters and didn’t have time to pay attention to what Ethan was doing. It wasn’t until the first day of school that she spent half a day preparing a table full of food and then sat at the table, waiting for Ethan to come back.
As time passed, Ethan nevercame back.
She watched the food gradually getting cold and called him again, but one call, twecalls… ten calls, the phone still couldn’t get through.
just as Evelyn was about to put down her phone, it suddenly emitted a “ding” sound of a message notification.
She opened it and saw a message from Sophila, filled with provucation between the lines.
Don’t wait, take a look at my Facebook status.
Evelyn was taken aback, her phone switched to the Facebook status interface, and she just saw the photo that Sophia had just posted.
In the photo, Eilian, dressed in a suit, sat next to Sophia, promising to come back and have dinner with her. Judging from the background, it seemed to be
a high–end restaurant. The photo included flowers, balloons, and steak, making anyone who saw it praise them as a heavenly couple.
This was their last farewell, but she couldn’t de
I do it either.
Evelyn looked at that Facebook status for a long time, but in the end, she just silently liked it, and then she logged out and deleted Sophia as a friend, deleted Ethan as a friend, and finally deactivated her own Facebook account. The whole process was done in one go.
After she had finished everything, she took out her own SIM card, bruke it, and threw it into the trash can
Flually, she took out the bank card that had been prepared to return to Ethan and placed it in the most prominent place in the living room, along with the gold card he had given later.
I only placed a piece of paper on top, leaving behind the last sentence.
Uncle, I gave up. I have already taken 099 steps away from you in this relationship, and I have no regrets. I hope you feel the same
After finishing, she took a final look at the villa where she had lived for ten years, then pushed her suitcase and walked out of the villa. She halled a taxi and headed straight to the airport without looking back.
Ethan, from now on, I embarked on a new life without you….
