I truthfully informed Brennan of my plan, and he let out a cold laugh
“Marlene, did you think that this would be enough to requy me for my kindness towards you? But it’s far from enough, I want you to be by my side forever!”
“I disagreed with your leaving without my permission, you could only stay by my side. Today, you had to go with me!”
He approached again, wanting to hug me, but I pershed him away.
“I have already said it before, when I was young and foolish, I thought I had fallen in love with you. And you used to dislike me bothering you all the time, right? Now I won’t bother you anymore, so please don’t come and bother me either, okay, Uncle
Bremman smiled and then burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably. “You say you don’t love me anymore? What am I supposed to do? Thave already fallen in love with you, I simply cannot be without you! Jost the thought of you leaving my side makes me feel unbearable pain!”
“Marlene, I know I hurt your heart before, that’s why you don’t want to love me anymore. I won’t force you to fall in love with me again right away, just come back with me. After we go back, we can slowly cultivate our feelings, okay?
I refused him again and said sincerely, “Uncle, you just couldn’t accept me leaving you, couldn’t accept me breaking free from your control. This is not love, true love is not like this.”

“You should leave here soon and never come to find me again. In the future, I will come back to see y long been my family,”
But Brennan refused to leave, and just as he was dragging me away like a madman, our senior brother, who heard the commotion, quickly came over to help
Brennan rushed all the way, but he was no match for the young
g senior brother. He was immediately knocked down to the
ground.
He sat down on the ground, looking at me coldly and said, “Marlene, you’ve grown up! Just a few days after leaving me, you already have another man! Did you come to this mountain because of him? Is it because of him that you don’t want to go back with me?”
“Do you believe that I could make him lose his education and future career, leaving him with no place to stand in this city?”
My senior brother heard him sulting me and was so angry that he was about to go forward and hit him, but I stopped him.
I was also rendered speechless by Brennan’s tone and my face sank
“Brennan, could you be any more shameless! Just because I didn’t go back with you, you threatened the people around me?”
He seemed to have caught my weakness, and a smile crept up on his lips.
“yes, as long as you obediently come back with me, I promise not to harm him! Otherwise, I will make you regret your choice today!”
“You”
I was so angry that tears streamed down my face. My senior brother quickly comforted me, saying, “Marlene, don’t cry. It’s not worth crying for someone like him! I am your senior brother, and it’s my duty to protect you! Besides, I wasn’t scared at all!”
Brennan’s face darkened even more when he saw this, and a few words squeezed out from between his teeth, “Marlene, are you sure you won’t come back
This time, I looked at him firmly and said, “I will not go back with you, and I am not afraid of your threats. If you don’t leave, I will call the police!”
Brennan’s disdainful expression seemed to be telling me that calling the police would be useless. With his family background and status, he simply wouldn’t be afraid.
I reported to the police in front of him and then said to him, “Brennan, you thought the police couldn’t do anything to you, right?
“But our research project was confidential. You followed mny senior brother all the way to our base. Do you know what this means?”
“Now, do you still think the police couldn’t do anything to you?”
I turned around and reported the matter to my mentor. The mentor instructed a few senior colleagues to restrain Brennan and wait for the arrival of the
He only realized the seriousness of the problem then and suggested that I talk to him.
ard to him anymore, not until the police car arrived and I handed him over to the police. I didn’t speak to him again.
But I didn’t want to say a word to him a
In the following days, I remained busy.
It had been half a year since I last saw lean, and the investigation project progressed much faster than expected, finishing a whole three months
diead of schedule,
I had just arrived on campus when I received the wedding invitation from Brennan.
He did not marry Brittany, but instead followed his family’s advice and married a wealthy girl from a respectable family.
I thought about it, but I didn’t attend his wedding. I just gave him a call to congratulate him, saying, “Uncle, congratulations.”
There was a pause on the other end of the phone, and Brennan’s desolate voice finally came through, “That person isn’t you, so it doesn’t matter who it is. My family is pressuring me into an arranged marriage again, and I agreed.”
“Marlene, is there really no possibility for us anymore? If you’re willing, Lean give up the engagement and everything right now! I’m willing to give up anything as long as I can be with you!”
I sighed, “Uncle, it’s not possible between us anymore. From now on, you are just my uncle.”
He choked on the phone and said, “It was me who lost a pure girl who loved me, it was my own fault, But Marlene, ever since you entered my heart, I can’t love anyone else anymore, what should I do?”
But I simply replied faintly, “Uncle, I wish you and your wife a hundred years of happiness together and may you have many noble children.”
I hung up the phone right after I finished speaking
Later, I heard that his wedding ceremony was postponed for an hour before it was held. He kept looking outside the hall door, as it waiting for someone.
But that person never showed up in the end.
One year later, I successfully passed the entrance examination for my mentor’s graduate program and officially joined the team.
Not long after, I heard that Brennan became a father and took on a new role in life.
All the things will eventually pass, and a brand–new future is right in front of us.
In this lifetime, I wanted to live as an amazing version of myself.
