Chapter 3
Avanted to call him again, wanting to talk to him and clarify things properly.
But this time, he simply didn’t answer.
I sent a WhatsApp message but he didn’t reply.
I squatted on the ground, my eye sockets sore and aching, tears falling “pitter–patter“.
I remember that the previous me was not like this.
How did you become so delicate and cry so easily now?
I went to my best friend Kiley Carson’s house and confided in her about today’s events, then we had
few glasses of wine.
We both looked at the heavy snow outside the window, and she just held me without saying anything.
Then I cried again, and she hurriedly wiped away my tears.
“Emilia, you were not like this before.”
The Emilia I knew was straightforward and carefree in her actions. If this relationship truly makes you unhappy, I hope you can be like before and cut ties directly.
Kiley’s words left me stunned.
The previous me used to be efficient and not procrastinate.
Oliver wanted to go to the south initially, while I wanted to stay in the north.
If it were any other girl, she would definitely have followed him.
Back then, when I was only in my twenties, I was full of ambition and believed that nothing could hinder me in my life.
Including the man.
So I divorced him.
now, why have I become like this?
Are you getting older and looking for a sense of belonging?
That night, I drank a lot of alcohol.
my heart, it was all Oliver. I wanted to call him; I wanted to send him a WhatsApp message.
But I stumbled upon his Instagram.
;
He sent a picture, in which Ariel was lying on a hospital bed, making a funny face.
His caption, “So adorable.”
Fuck cute!
I woke up completely.
What on earth did I love?
I directly sent a bunch of voice messages to Olive
scolding him for being unfaithful and telling
him that I wanted to break up.
Then, I fell asleep.
Waking up again, I found myself in Oliver’s arms.
He had just walked out of Kiley’s house.
I immediately wanted to struggle, but he said, “Don’t move, Kiley said you drank too much yesterday, and I’m afraid you haven’t sobered up yet.”
He lifted me into the car and then apologized to me, “What happened yesterday was my fault.”
“I was also impatient for a moment because Ariel didn’t know anyone else in this city.”
“So that’s why I spoke harshly to you.”
“I prepared a surprise for you; can you forgive me?”
“But you said she was cute.”
“That was sent by Ariel herself, and I have already deleted it.”
Then he took my hand.
“Emilia, you have to believe me, you are the only one in my heart, this time returning to Eritowf it’s only for you.”
Although Oliver grew up in the north, he had a gift of gab and the attentiveness of a southern man.
So many girls used to worship him to the point that they would bow down at his feet.
He only fell in love with me, a tomboy.
He pursued me and also put in a lot of effort.
it weren’t for our disagreement back then, we would have children by now.
In a daze, I recalled my grandmother’s words.
74
She fell ill, and her final wish was to see me find a good home.
She said, “Emilia, you are already grown up. Grandma has passed away. How are you going to manage on your own? I am really worried.”
When I came to my senses, I wiped away my tears.
“Alright, then let’s go and see the surprise you prepared.”
