Chapter 8X
Vero frowned, opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end, she chose to help me into the car!!
On the way, I told Vero everything that had happened to me over the years. She was so angry that she almost fainted. She yelled at the driver to stop, saying she wanted to go beat up Elowen, but i stopped her X
“It’s already happened. There’s no point in going after him now and I don’t want to see him again.”
Vero furrowed her brows and asked unwillingly, “Are you just going to let him off the hook? Callisto, this isn’t like you. You’ve always been someone who takes revenge on those who hurt you. We haven’t seen each other for just a short while and you’ve become so weak.” Seeing the disappointment in her eyes, I lightly smiled and replied, “Who said I’m letting him off the hook? Ive prepared a big gift for him.
“What big gift?” Vero asked, her face full of curiosity as she leaned in
I pretended to be mysterious and told her. “It’s a secret, but I can guarantee that this big gift will make Elowen remember it for the rest of his life.
On the other side, Elowen grew even more furious when he saw that I hadn’t gone to the hospital to apologize to Mayo. He took out his phonie and sent me a message.
[Didn’t I ask you to come to the hospital? How long has it been and where are you?]
In the past, because Elowen was often busy with work, we rarely had the chance to chat. To avoid missing his messages, my phone would stay on with notifications for them. I would always reply almost immediately when he sent something.
But this time, ten whole minutes had passed and Elowen still hadn’t received a reply.
He became increasingly irritated and decided to call me.M
“Callista, you.”
But before he could finish speaking, the busy tone from the call being disconnected echoed through the phone. We’ve been together for so many years and while we’ve had our arguments, no matter how angry we were, I would never hang up on him if he called to apologize it had become an unspoken understanding between us. But now, I hung up on him without hesitation, which left him a little stunned It took him a while to process it. Unwilling to accept it, he was about to call me again when he was stopped by Maya, who was lying in the hospital bed.
“Elowen, did she hang up on you? I think she might be mad at you. Women always use taction like this to get a man’s attention. If you call her again, shell just get more upset and push you away. You need to act cold toward her. I can see that she loves you so much and I bet she’ll come looking for you within a day You shouldn’t call her again.”
