Evershining Stars, Everlasting Love novel Chapter 38

Vince texted me, but I didn't respond. He had no idea what was going on and would only question me later after hearing what someone else said. In that case, I didn't want to explain to him.

I put my phone under my pillow and then lay down on my bed and fell asleep.

Mom suddenly pushed my door open, waking me up. I saw Qiang Mo standing behind mom. As soon as I saw mom's expression, I knew that Qiang Mo must have told mom that I annulled my engagement to Zhiyu.

I propped herself up on one elbow and looked at them.

"Nance, Zhiyu was good to you. Why did you call off the engagement?" mom questioned me.

Looking at them, I didn’t want to say anything.

I pursed my lips that were a little dry, pulled the blanket and just said, "I just don't want to get engaged."

My mom beat me through the blanket and blamed me. I wept aggrievedly under the blanket.

The day I got engaged to Zhiyu, I didn't go. Mom begged me to go, but I was indifferent. I couldn't marry someone I didn't like again.

Without my presence at the engagement banquet, the Yin family became the laughing stock of Fu City. I didn't read the news on the internet, and just turned my phone off. I hid in my room, which was my only way to hide from reality.

I didn't know how long I stayed in my room when I was forced out of my room by mom.

All these days, mom blamed me. I knew she still cared about me and she just wanted me to marry a man who liked me.

The winter sun was warm and comforting. I sat in the sun and stroked my long, thick hair.

These days my phone was off. It was like I'd cut myself off from all contact with the outside world.

"Nance, there is your call." Mom came out onto the balcony and called.

"Who's calling?" I asked.

"A male voice sounds familiar, but I just can't remember who he is." mom's brow furrowed.

I still got up slowly, walked into the house, looked at the handset on the table, picked it up, "Hello?”
