The sky was clear, and the sun was slightly harsh. Jane Dunn wrapped the coat closer to her body. The tree-lined narrow road was less crowded today. Despite that, anyone who walked passed her would stare at her with a strange look on their faces.“Is there… something wrong with her?”A couple swept past her, turning their heads back to steal another glance at her before discussing in hushed voices. Even though they were not discussing in front of Jane Dunn, they still lowered their voices. F
“What a tortoise. Girls are just so troublesome. Hurry up. I’ll leave if you don’t hurry up.”Though he said he would leave, he still remained standing under the banyan tree while waiting for her in silence.When had that happened again?Oh… Third year of junior high school...When did their relationship start growing hostile, became impossible to mend, and turned distant and alien?She could no longer remember...“Sean…” Her gaze was misty as she called out to the man under the shady tree
That summer during her third year of middle school, she had said, “Sean Stewart, let’s date. You’ll take care of me.”The white-shirt teenager turned his head around and stared at her with his lucid phoenix eyes without saying a word. He then turned back around and started walking. She chased after him and grabbed his hand from the back. “You’re so mean. It’s really easy to take care of me. You don’t think you can do it?”Up until today, Jane Dunn still remembered the teenager’s answer.He ha
“...” Silence. She was unable to find an answer.“At least try, Jane. Even if you can’t be my girlfriend right now, at least give yourself a chance to accept and embrace happiness.“You can’t live in your own memories from the past or in your own tiny world forever.“Wipe him out of your memory, Jane. No matter what kind of past and memories you share with him, I firmly believe that those unhappy memories will be replaced by the blissful memories that you and I will share. They’ll fill your h
Jane Dunn shuddered in her heart. At this moment, she could hardly recognize this innocent yet cynical man standing in front of her.She had thought that she could annoy him and make him leave after saying so. Instead, she was now feeling ill at ease.She went all out and said to Haydn Soros, “Mr. Soros, that kiss earlier isn’t free. Remember to pay up, Mr. Soros.”‘Surely… saying it like this will be enough?’ Jane Dunn thought.She saw the man in front of her free up one hand to reach int
“Jane, if you don’t try, then how do you know you can’t have happiness?“Jane, try it. Just try. I will never make you sad or make you shed a single tear.“Jane, give me a chance and give yourself a chance. Give us both a chance to obtain happiness together.“Jane…“Jane…“Jane…‘Jane’ after ‘Jane’, one after another. He was about to enter her heart now. What should she do?What could she do?!“Jane Dunn, do you think that you still deserve any happiness right now?” Sean Steward had said
With a screech, there was an ear-piercing sound of a car braking. The driver poked his head out and cursed in rage, “Are you crazy? If you want to die, the Huangpu River is just ahead!”“I’m sorry, I’m sorry…” Jane Dunn immediately apologized whilst feeling glad at the same time. Fortunately, the driver had slammed the brake in time, hence she only suffered minor injuries.Haydn Soros glared at the driver with frosty eyes. “Are you listening to yourself? You’re the one who hit her, and now you
“... Nothing. I’m a little tired, so I want to rest for a day.”Alora responded with an “Mm”. She felt slightly relieved and replied, “No problem.” She agreed promptly. “You’ve finally learned that you need to take a rest. Okay, take a good rest today, and don’t you worry about the things here.”She hung up the call.Jane Dunn stood up, walked to the small wooden table by the bedroom window and sat down. She took her time as she pulled out a drawer and took out a notebook.Since her release
