"Now it's great that your first girlfriend is back. and I'm also going to have my lover soon. We're even."
Emma calmly said to Glenn and then walked out.
Glenn was left alone, standing there like he was frozen.
For a moment, he felt something important slip away from him.
...
"How are you? Did he do anything to you?" Seeing Emma coming out of the box, Jamie asked her in worried.
"I'm OK. Let get out of here."
Emma pretended lightness and waved her hands, but she looked a little tired.
"Well." Jamie held up her hand and stroked the ring that was put on her finger earlier. The expectation in his eyes was about to overflow.
Emma's eyes were fixed on the little wedding ring. Countless fragments flashed in her mind, and finally she seemed to compromise.
"You had already put it on my hand. So...let's...do the marriage registration someday."
She was a little reluctant. But Jamie didn't recognize it. He was shocked by the huge surprise. After a burst of ecstasy, he took Emma out with a smile on his face.
Glenn stood at the door. He heard Emma's words. And his face in the shadow was scaring.
After that day, Glenn never came back.
Emma took it for granted that her sincerity moved him. After all, what she said were the words that had been hidden in her heart for a long time.
In stead of breaking off with Glenn, she was breaking off with herself.
After agreeing to Jamie's proposal. Jamie was busy preparing for their new home. Sometimes he looked at Emma with a silly smile. And sometimes he asked her hurriedly which style of furniture she likes.
That's good, Emma thought.
In these days, several teachers in the kindergarten had asked for leave, and so much work couldn't be completed on time. Emma, who was just a volunteer, asked to help them check the homework. That's why she went back late.
It was dark when Emma finished her work. She declined Jamie's request to come to pick her. She walked alone on the quiet street with a book in her hand.
This street had always been very quiet. If it wasn't for the bright light, Emma would not dare to go.
She hummed and walked on the street with only a few pedestrians. She was in a good mood. Thinking about the future, even the fallen leaves on the ground became lovely.
At this time, she noticed several tall shadows beside her own shadow.
She looked back in confused, but the next second her mouth and nose were covered with a handkerchief. The medicine on the handkerchief quickly made her in a coma.
"Hey, be tender, the boss said he'll throw us to the northwest even if she just lose one hair."
It was the last words Emma heard before she was unconscious.
...
After ordering the subordinates to go away, Glenn went to the bedside and bent down to look at the comatose woman carefully.
Maybe it's because of eating well and sleeping well in recent months. Emma's cheeks were not so skinny as before. She look not so malnourished as she used to.
Glenn's finger poked her cheek, but what he said was scaring enough for Emma.
"You want to be even just in a word? No way!"
When Emma woke up, it was dark around her. She fumbled to turn on the light beside the bed. When she saw the decoration of the room, she could not help but take a deep breath.
It was the bedroom in which she lived for three years.
It was Glenn's house!
Before she realized what was happening, her body reacted faster than her brain. She jumped out of bed and couldn't wait to open the door.
