I hadn’t expected that the weaknesses one trusted and spoke of would now and as the sharpest knife in Sean’s hands.
Suddenly, Sean’s phone rang.
It was Lily calling
He glanced at me and still picked up the call.
That it wasn’t Lily’s voice on the other end. It was a doctor’s voice.
“Hello, in this Ms. Larson’s husband? She suddenly fainted. Could you come and sign something for us?”
Sean hesitated, then clenched his teeth and nodded
Yes, I’m Lily’s husband. Il be right there.”
Without looking back, he left.
I watched his retreating figure, and slosly, it began to merge with the figure the man who had abandoned me in the river that day
Imocked him with a sle
Scumbags really can’t change their nature
After that, Sean never came back to me. I handled my discharge myself and returned to the hotel.
I didn’t have much baggage, and it was quickly packed.
By the time Sean realized I was gone. I was already at the airport.
He sent me messages frantically.
“Where did you go? You’re a pregnant woman, running around like this, it’s dangerous Send me your location, I’ll come find you!”
“What’s with the divorce agreement on the table? I saved your damn life, and you dare ask for a divorce? What right do you have to ask for
“Emily, what do you want? Lily and I are completely innocent. I only see her sister, step being so jealous, alright? You’re crazy!”
I didn’t say much. I just sent the photo Lily posted on her Moments.
Next time, remember to rinse your mouth after kissing me. No, there won’t be a next time.”
“Sean you’re not worthy of a water lily.”
There was silence on the other end for a moment, and then repeated calls camin
He also sent me a photo–his hand, mangled and bloody.
I almost blocked him, but accidentally clicked to answer
Sean, someone who had never cried in front of me, now spoke with a voice of subs
“Emily. I know I was wrong, can you forgive me?”
“Everyone makes mistakes, you need to learn to forgive me. You can’t be like, ‘s unfair to me!
“Come on, tell me where you are, I come pick you up, okay?”
At that moment, the airport speakers called my name repeatedly, urging me in checkin
Sean, broken, cried out

“Emily, you can’t leave me,
I answered calmly.
», where are you going?”
“Sean. Happy New Year, I wish you a hundred years of happiness,”
Then I hung up decisively and blocked him.
Sitting on the plane, I stared out the window, my eyes blank.
The young Emily would never have imagined that this would be the outcome with Sean.
It seemed that “divorce” wasn’t as bad as it appeared compared to being in qual disdain.
I looked at my reflection in the window and gave a resigned smile,
“Emily, Happy New Year, happy new life.”
