7

Facing his serious explanation, I just lowered my eyes to glance at the time on my phone and said calmly:

"What you think of Luna is your own business. Zachary, I will break up with you regardless of Luna."

After saying that, I stood up and was about to leave, but he grabbed my wrist. He said:

"Lena, we have been together for seven years... Do you remember what you whispered to me that night when we were together? You said you loved me so much and that you would always love me. You said that as long as we held hands for one more day, your love for me would grow a little more."

I met his panicked eyes and pulled his fingers apart one by one: " Zachary , let alone seven years, even if we have been together for seventy years, I can still dump you without any psychological burden like today. From now on, you'd better not take women's casual love words seriously."

After hearing my last words, his hand finally dropped. Ignoring the trembling and bitterness in his heart, he curled his lips at me with red eyes:

"Lena, don't worry, you are not as important as you think."

After that, he bought the fastest flight ticket right in front of me and walked out of the restaurant before me. Watching his disappearing back, I breathed a sigh of relief from the inside out.

Time quickly came to Monday, and I officially joined the new company and started a new job and life. Those losses and disappointments that I thought I would never let go of in my life were quickly and quietly smoothed out and forgotten under the healing of time, family affection, and friendship.

If I have to nitpick and point out what's wrong with my current life, it's that I've been so busy lately that I've probably developed a bit of a nervous breakdown, and occasionally I have the inexplicable illusion that someone is watching me in the dark.

More than a month later, on a normal weekend night, I went to a KTV room as scheduled and had fun with my besties and their relatives and friends. After everyone had fun for a while, I, who was drunk, took the initiative to go to the supermarket at the front desk to get more food for everyone.

I didn't expect Chase to come out with me. He is my bestie Cynthia 's cousin. When I was in high school, I often went to Cynthia's house to do homework. Chase lived next door at the time. For a while, I even gave him free junior high school math lessons.

Before I could say anything, the handsome and tall young man said, "I heard that you will not leave again after you come back this time."

I blinked and poked his forehead lightly like we did when we were kids. "No, how come I haven't heard you call me sister since I came back? Be careful or I'll go to your parents' house and complain about you next time."

Hearing this, Chase must have recalled some interesting past events. He lowered his head and smiled, staring at me with burning eyes: "Lena, you..."

Before he could finish his words, I felt a pain in my wrist, and suddenly I was dragged backwards by a strong force! However, I didn't really fall, but fell into the chest of a man who was once the most familiar to me.
