“So we hurt the woman we loved and covered her in scars. We were destined to lose her in the end.”Sean gave Haydn a long look before shaking his head. “I’m… not like you.” He glanced at the red wine Haydn was holding and said, “I don’t need to drown my sorrows, and I won’t join you for that drink.”Something occurred to Haydn, and he said urgently, “Sean Stewart, are you thinking that you can still get back together with her? Do you really think that woman will come back to you?“You don’t u
Three years laterThere was a rather unassuming homestay on the banks of Erhai. Well, rather than a homestay, it was really just a small three-story bungalow. Compared to the other homestays around it, it was truly tiny. Although it was on the banks of Erhai, its location was not very good either. The closest homestay to it was at least several hundred meters away.A woman wearing the loose-fitting ramie cotton top and trousers common to this place was lying on a traditional-style bamboo rocking chair on the porch. The chair rocked back and forth, taking the woman with it. The square stool next to the chair had a pot of gold-colored green orange pu’er on it, as well as a half-empty teacup. Every so often, there would be waterfowl flitting past the surface of the Erhai lake, hunting the small river shrimp that was a specialty here.The sky was so blue that it looked touchable, as though you could just reach out and catch a handful of the fluffy white clouds. There was an old tree f
Jojo immediately picked up a porcelain cup from the square stool. She offered the cup, complete with its saucer, to the woman. When the woman stood up, her hair looked surprisingly long, reaching almost her waist and tied loosely with a band. She accepted the cup from Jojo and took off its cover, taking a sip before putting the cover back in place.“Bring the contract and follow me, Jojo.” With that, the woman walked back into the house, her steps just as slow.“I’m coming, Boss.” Jojo ran lik
“I’ll definitely expose you! Definitely! Scammers! Fraud!”After the woman at the door left, followed by Jojo, the man of the couple told his girlfriend angrily, “I’m definitely going to make this sham of a place viral, Yvonne! Just you wait, when I get back, first thing I’m gonna do is post on Travago…”At the same timeS CityElior pushed the door open and went in, only to be assaulted by the smell of booze!He looked at the man sitting on the floor. “Didn’t someone say he wouldn’t drink
There were no words to describe the shock Elior was feeling right now. He heard his friend mumbling dazedly in his ear, “If I hadn’t dropped my phone…” and “If I hadn’t moved the drawers when I went to pick it up…” With that, Elior already figured it out. His friend had moved the drawers when he tried to pick up his phone, but that only led him to discover this secret, hidden for so many years.“If only I didn’t drop my phone…“If only I hadn’t picked it up…”Elior clenched his fist, listenin
Mr. Oakes wanted to say something, but Elior practically shoved him out of the room. Before Mr. Oakes could react, there was a bang, and the door was slammed shut in his face.Inside the room, Elior’s face was cold as he wordlessly took two bottles of whiskey from the bed. He twisted the caps off and held out his hand, offering one battle to Sean who was sitting slumped by the bed. “Here. I’ll drink with you.”However, the man sitting on the floor by the bed did not seem to hear him at all. He
What goes around comes around… huh?Sean put her in jail for three years, robbing her of her pride and confidence.Similarly, she left for three years, and just as easily destroyed Sean’s pride and confidence, no?Three years in exchange for three years. Everything had changed.Elior seemed to understand something. Something clicked in his mind and everything was clearer. Even so, how could he just give up on this man and let him go on like this?It was just like how he had once hated Jane
At the same time, in a manor on the outskirts.The manor stood independently from other blocks, surrounded by green grass and a golf course.It was a European-style mansion, vast but still magnificent.In the third floor study“Boss, we’ve taken down the post, and the IT team has found the original poster. Our men have interrogated that couple; here’s the recording of that conversation.” An employee with a crew cut, black suit, and solemn expression offered a voice recorder to the man behind
