Chapter 4

This quote from Alice Bruno is really very effective.

After hearing that, I quickly lost the mood to theorize or argue with Charles Torres and just wanted to get as far away from him as possible.

I returned to Charles Torres's meticulously decorated marital home, calmly packed my bags, and prepared to leave.

If anything, in the beginning, I had a few expectations for Charles Torres.

Now, then, those few moments of anticipation were reduced to nothing more than unending nausea.

I paused in my movements as I picked up the doll bear on the table.

It was bought for me by Charles Torres one year after we had a fight.

Just because, I say, my family was poor when I was a kid, I saw a teddy bear like this in town and stood outside the glass window, staring at it for over an hour.

It's just that after all these years, where else can you find the exact same bear.

Charles Torres drove all night back to that remote town.

Found out that even that store, had gone out of business.

He wouldn't leave it at that, but instead paid a lot of money to have the doll bear handmade and customized as I described.

It's still ugly, but I didn't hold back the hugging and crying out when I received it.

There has never been such a person who keeps my likes and dislikes completely in mind and tries to put my feelings first no matter how many difficulties he meets.

At that time, we should all love each other from the bottom of our hearts.

I smiled to myself and put the goofy doll bear back in its place.

Something like that, I don't need anymore.

Just the moment I let go, a sharp pain shot through my stomach.

With trembling hands, I fished a pill out of my bag and struggled to get it into my mouth.

It is often said that the stomach is an emotional organ.

Maybe even my body is protesting, asking why I didn't take a break from this life sooner.

I spent the next few days socializing in the business world.

My dad had previously given me a small company from my half-brother for Charles Torres' sake.

With my continued efforts, this company expanded and became a fat piece of meat for my dad to salivate over.

To keep them out of the way and to regulate the mood.

I went all in and stopped contacting anyone.

Until today's meal, when I saw Charles Torres.

From the moment I stepped through the door of the hotel, his face was black and purple.

On the sidelines, Alice Bruno fluttered her big eyes and exported tea talk to Charles Torres.

"Why is Sister Patricia Nelson here too? Could it be that she heard that brother Yanuki was going to celebrate his birthday here, so she brought a gift to celebrate?"

Oh, and I've been so busy lately that I completely forgot about Charles Torres' birthday.

You know in the past, I would have started preparing months earlier just to see the look of surprise on Charles Torres' face.

This shows that women still need to have a bit of their own thing going on.

Without changing my face, I walked around him and went straight to the box where I had an appointment with my co-star.

Behind her Alice Bruno's shrieks were getting farther and farther away.

"Patricia Nelson sis, don't get mad again, Yanzhi brother has been contacting you for the past few days, you're the one who doesn't answer his calls ah ..."

If Charles Torres is sick in the head, Alice Bruno is pure psycho.

We've all broken up, who's okay with answering their ex's phone!

After dropping off my partner, I was ready to go home as well.

Only to be recognized by Vinson Wright, Charles Torres' hairdresser.
