- 3.
- ay. I told Nolan,
The next day.
“Come with
me to visit my parents‘ grave today.”
His expression flashed with discomfort.
“Isn’t it not the anniversary of your parents‘ death? Why go now?
Thinking of my parents, my heart ached.
I was about to leave this world and wanted to see them one last time before I left
I looked up.
“No reason, I just miss them.”
“Okay”
It was sunny before we left, but the temperature dropped and it started raining when we reached the cemetery.
Looking at the photos on the gravestones, I couldn’t help but cry, my heart filled with desolation.
Suddenly, Nolan’s phone beeped with a message. His face changed after reading it.
I looked at his troubled face, puzzled, and opened my phone. As soon as I did, a provocative message from Celeste came through.
“Sophie, aren’t you just relying on Nolan’s love? I’ll show you who he really cares about. I advise you to leave on your own before you’re kicked
out
I chuckled, replying to her for the first time,
“Dirty things aren’t wanted by everyone. You can have him,”
Isaw the man suddenly run off, leaving only a curt message:
“Something came up at the company, I’ll come get you as soon as I’m done.”
He never came even as night fell, leaving me alone in the eerie darkness of the cemetery.
I glanced at his unappealing face, confused, as I unlocked my phone. Just then, Celeste’s taunting message lit up the screen again.
“Sophie, you’re just leaning on Brother Nolan’s affection, aren’t you? Watch as I show you who’s truly in his heart. My advice? Leave on your own so you won’t be disgracefully sent packing later.”
I chuckled softly and replied to her for the first time,
“Who wants something dirty? You’re welcome to him.”
