Chapter 8
I thought it was time for me to let him go and accept the destiny. My steps were easier than ever before and I looked up at the sky. The world was so vast, I shouldn’t waste time on these little things.
When I got back home, I laid on the bed and took a nap. This time, it was a rare good dream.§
The next day, I got up and wanted to go to work in the restaurant, but my boss called me and said I was fired. I didn’t need to guess who was the one caused this. It was none other than Paul’s doing. He was forcing me to bow my head and force me to go home with him.
It was a pity that when I decided to clear it with him, I had already decided not to stay for him again.”
I bought a plane ticket directly to return home. After getting off the plane, I went straight to Paul’s house and asked to see Emma.”
Emma had someone take me into the living room. She looked at me with disdain and said in a bad tone, “What are you doing here? Do you come to see the wonderful life that Paul and I have after marriage?“}
I saw that her fatigue, which could not be concealed even with the powder. I clearly knew that her marriage was not happy at all. I didn’t want to embarrass her, so I just said to her coldly, “Tell Paul to stop bothering me. I don’t want to have anything to do with you two.”>
Emma was stunned for a moment. She frowned and said in a sharp tone, “Are you here to show off to me? Don’t think I don’t know that Paul went to Ireland to find you!”
I nodded and looked at her calmly. I lightly said, “I know you are married and he and I are just the past, so please take care of your husband. I wish your marriage is not really that terrible, so that you can’t control your husband.“}
Without waiting for Emma to speak, I turned and walked out of the door of Paul’s house.
Paul would soon know the conversation between Emma and me and he would know how determined I was to leave him.
Since Paul could find me wherever I hid, thinking that I might stay in the familiar environment, I moved back to the previous apartment. With the money my parents left me, I opened a small flower shop. It was not much money, but it was what I like to do.
Soon, Paul came again.§
He greeted me familiarly as if he was an old friend who hadn’t seen me for many years.
I didn’t look up, but called Davis Stone instead. He was my new employee.§
Davis looked at Paul and mockingly smiled, “What flowers do you want? Her hand was pricked by a thorn and it was inconvenient to wrap it. Let me serve you.”}
Paul realized that my index finger was bandaged and at that moment his face was full of heartache. The corners of his eyes were red. His voice was trembling, “I’m sorry, Olivia! I didn’t notice it. Does it hurt?”
I smiled and shook my head. With a distant and polite face, I replied lightly, “What kind of flowers do you want, Davis will pack them for you.“E
After that, I touched Davis’s arm and asked him to pack them well. Meanwhile, Davis smiled at me and asked me to go to rest.
Paul saw the interaction between us and his face was full of anger. Seeing that the two of us were so close, his eyes were red. He couldn’t help to ask, “You…what is your relationship with her?“>
Davis looked at him in surprise. His face was stained with a layer of blush and even his tone was a lot lighter.
“Olivia and I are together. Thanks to her ex–boyfriend who broke her heart, so I have the opportunity to pursue her.”
After saying this, Paul took two steps back and looked at me in disbelief, Our intimate communication was natural and sweet, so he couldn’t say a word of apology.
