After saying this, Lucas went upstairs to find Lily White.
He was certain that I was just throwing a tantrum, and that I would be the first to give in.
Why? Because for three years, I had loved him to the bone, even dying a hundred times for his true love!
Based on this alone, he didn’t believe I would really leave!
During this time, he immersed himself in work, burying himself in documents.
Or he would go on missions, returning drenched in sweat.
Or he would go to bars with his brothers to indulge, drunk all day, as if he had completely forgotten about me.
But only Lucas knew that in the dead of night, when he woke from his dreams, he would always get up, go to the empty rooftop, clutching his phone, as if waiting for someone’s message.
Whenever the screen lit up, he would excitedly look, only to find it wasn’t from me, and he would disappointedly turn it off.
This life continued for a month, until finally he couldn’t bear it anymore and sent me a message first.
“Aria! Haven’t you had enough? What time do you think it is? Aren’t you planning to come back?”
“What can you do out there, with no one to rely on?”
“Aria, hurry up and send me your location. I happen to be free today and can come pick you up.”
After sending these, Lucas was certain that I would excitedly reply and happily return.
However, there was nothing.
My message box was completely blank.
Lucas refreshed the network repeatedly, afraid that it was his end that was lagging and preventing him from receiving messages.
But… the network was fine. He even sent messages to himself from a different account and received them.
But he just couldn’t receive anything from me!
Lucas’s heart suddenly skipped a beat, like a rubber band repeatedly stretching in his heart.
His anger instantly reached its peak, and he started yelling at my message box-
“Aria! What are you pretending for? I’ve already taken the initiative to message you, and you still won’t come back?”
“What right do you have to throw a tantrum at me! Me sending you these messages is already the biggest concession! If you continue to be obstinate, don’t blame me for turning my back on you!”
“If you have the guts, then never come back! Someone like you won’t last long out there anyway, just die-”
He kept typing into my message box, but couldn’t get any response.
My message box remained completely blank, with nothing in it.
He became furious, smashing the phone against the wall, destroying another phone.
But soon, he bought a new phone, as if afraid he might miss some message.
He returned to my room in a daze. All my things were still there, but I wasn’t.
The longer he stayed in this place, the more uncomfortable he felt. He quickly got up and went to Lily White’s room.

Lily was still in the shower at this moment, unaware that he had come.
Lucas lay down on her bed, but his hand touched something cool.
He looked closely and saw that the cool object was actually my phone!
His blood instantly surged upwards! Why was my phone on Lily White’s bed!
