When I got Isaac’s phone call, I had just taken the newly approved documents and, at the same time, booked tomorrow’s plane ticket.
There was a slight testing tone in Isaac’s voice. “Kendall, how are you feeling today? Valerie and I only happened to meet by chance. There is completely nothing going on between us.”
“It has nothing to do with me.” My voice sounded cold.
Isaac believed I was acting jealous and upset. He tried to comfort me several times. When he saw that I gave no reply at all, he could not stop himself from acting proud.
“Kendall, don’t make this too unpleasant. I first planned to get a surprise ready for you tomorrow, but your behavior makes me very unhappy.”
“Valerie is only a young girl. As her leader, giving her some help is not too much, right?”
“Also, she had an accident in our home. If I don’t properly stay with her, what if she takes you to court?”
Hearing Isaac talk in a way that sounded like it was for my benefit, I laughed coldly in my heart.
Whether it was for me or for me, Isaac couldn’t possibly fail to understand this.
I replied coldly, “Isaac, do anything you like. From this moment on, it has nothing to do with me.”
After ending the call, I went back to the villa to gather my belongings.
Noticing that most of the items were already burned, I didn’t feel even the smallest emotion.
After quickly arranging the things I could bring, I headed to a hotel and booked a room.
I had just completed my shower and was drying my hair when my phone suddenly rang.
I picked up the call, and Isaac’s voice sounded out.
“Kendall, if you have a problem, come to me. What kind of ability is it to get others to cause trouble for Valerie?! Did she offend you?”
“I already told you a long time ago that I am completely clean with her. Why do you just refuse to trust me?”
For a short moment, I had no words, unsure how to answer back.
During the past eight years, Isaac had kept me too carefully, unable to argue, unable to answer back, like a canary he kept in a simple two-point-one-line life.
When he noticed I gave no reply, Isaac harshly scolded, “Kendall, I truly did not think you would be this cruel. Valerie still carries a child in her belly. You cannot get pregnant yourself, so you’re jealous enough to hurt another person’s baby.”
“You really make me feel sick! I do not want to meet you for the next few days. Think over your behavior carefully.”
After saying this, Isaac ended the call.
Hearing the beep sound, my chest hurt with a dull pain.
On the trip to the airport, I stayed on Isaac’s contact in my friend list for a full three minutes.
In the end, I blocked and deleted it in one clean move.
At the instant of removal, I felt a relief I had never felt before.
While waiting to board, I noticed a hot trending alert on my phone.
[Shocking! Wealthy CEO uses hundreds of billions to put on a fireworks display just to win his new love’s smile.]
I quietly slid away that notice, then took out the SIM card, broke it, and tossed it into the trash bin.
Following the boarding announcement, I got on the airplane flying over the sea.
At the moment the plane took off, I looked out through the window in a blank state.
Goodbye, my eight years.
Goodbye, my hometown.
We wouldn’t see each other again, Isaac.
