Bitter Shadows Chapter 6

Chapter

Returning to the coastal city, this time I had an extra suitcase

It was packed full of my parentsworries

A coworker helped me find an apartment, and 1 quickly moved out of the hotel and 

into it

Besides work hours, I spent my free time watching movies and occasionally going 

to the beach

The water that once terrified me now rolled up to my feet, bringing a sense of 

comfort

Unknown numbers still called incessantly every day

Mixed with messages, I didn’t read a single one and changed my SIM card

I only told my parents, instructing them not to say anything if Lance Mitchell asked 

about me

My mother hesitated: He might just want to check on you.” 

No, Mom, don’t bother him.” 

And don’t let him bother me anymore

I think he just hasn’t adapted to me suddenly not following his every word

But Tang Peiruo will help him adjust

His longlost love has finally reunited with him

Even the deepest wounds will heal, including those from their youthful sorrows

But half a month later, the coffee shop door opened

I was looking down, making coffee: Welcome.” 

A familiar voice came from close by: I’m here to report for duty.” 

Startled, I looked up and met Lance Mitchell’s gaze, spilling water everywhere

As I fumbled to clean up, he laughed

Why do you look like you’ve seen a ghost?” 

I watched him sitting across from the boss, talking animatedly

My heart was filled with confusion and unease

It felt as if the hardearned peace had been abruptly shattered

I slipped out to call my parents

Their voices were full of guilt: He comes to ask about you every day.” 

A huge question mark kept rising in my heart

What about Brooke

Why did he leave his pregnant lover and come here

When I returned, he had already changed into a server’s uniform

The place was full of college students working parttime; he stuck out like a sorel 

thumb

I tried my best to keep my head down and avoid his gaze, but I couldn’t escape his dogged pursuit

Finally, my shift ended. I changed clothes and left immediately

Lance Mitchell chased after me, dragging his suitcase

Where do you live?” 

I stopped in my tracks, the frustration that had been building all day finally boiling 

over 

What exactly do you want

What about your job? Why did you come here? To humiliate me again?” 

He looked completely at ease: I quit. Came to see you.” 

He made it sound so simple

I turned to leave, but he hurried after me

I didn’t book a hotel. I’ll stay at your place for now.” 

I had to stop again, reminding him coldly

Lance Mitchell, we’re divorced, and Ms. Taylor needs you.” 

He remained silent, but followed me relentlessly

At the intersection, I had completely lost my patience. 

What do you really want?” 

He stared at me intently: Are you afraid of me?” 

I shook my head. What was there to be afraid of

We have nothing to do with each other anymore. You’re troubling 

ΠΡ 

I even took out my phone: Do you want me to call Ms. Taylor to pick you up?”

He just looked at me

This is between us

Samantha, are you so determined to cut ties with me because of her?” 

I almost thought I had misheard

He was the one who showed up at my birthday party with his pregnant ideal love

He was the one who couldn’t wait to take wedding photos

He was the one who was afraid I’d drag my feet on the divorce

Now, after I’ve cut ties, he’s here questioning me

I asked him: What else do you need me to do?” 

His brows furrowed as he lowered his head

I felt like I was seeing the Lance Mitchell who used to smoke on the rooftop. Full of confusion and uncertainty

After a long while, he finally spoke: Brooke and Iwe never slept together.” 

His hand at his side clenched slightly

Samantha, I think I actually like you.” 

This statement surprised me even more than what he said about Brooke

I unconsciously took two steps back

When he raised his head and reached out to me, I instinctively slapped his hand 

away

Samanthayou!” 

I spoke quickly: Don’t like me. I don’t want to be with you at all.” 

His expression was a mix of emotions, his brow furrowing even more

you resenting me?”
