Crawling Back To Her Series Redemption and Refuse novel Chapter 78

Book Chapter8.

Thinking about what Sarah and the vendor said, I realized I'm not the same person I used to be. I can't be so submissive for a man.

I packed up my things and moved out.

I went to stay with my grandmother.

After my parents passed away, she was my only family. She had been a painter in her youth, and when I arrived, she was still working on her art.

"Becca, you're here!"

She smiled warmly, her eyes crinkling with joy.

I couldn't help but cry as I hugged her tightly.

"What's wrong, dear? Who's been upsetting you?"

"I..."

Just thinking about how Ryan Mitchell treated me made it hard to speak.

Grandma saw through me and patted my shoulder. "You had a row with Ryan, didn't you? It's alright. Even teeth and tongue have their spats, so it's no wonder people do. It'll blow over, and he'll come around."

But this was different from an ordinary argument.

That night, I received a message from Ryan. It was a photo of Lana Brooks' wrist.

There was a shallow cut, almost healed.

"Lana tried to kill herself, and you're still upset with me? Becca Bennett, can't you stop being so stubborn?"

He always blamed me.

Said I was too strong-willed and unreasonable.

And everything Lana did was right.

Back then, I really thought I was in the wrong.

I tried hard to change, but now, I realize it's not my fault.

I should be passionate, free-spirited, and live for myself.

Why should I be controlled by him?

So, I broke up with him and blocked his number and messages.

I wanted nothing more than to live quietly in this small village for a while.

Grandma didn't press me for details. She just kept me company, cooking and painting with me.
