Hearing me say that, Ming’s face had a successful smile. He nodded, “OK, you can go.”
“...”
I was flustered.
I knew I couldn’t panic. I had to be firm in my choice.
I was thinking about Lester’s smile. He was a lovely child. What if he fell ill a few years later?
Sean knew what I thought.
He grabbed me and whispered, “don’t be afraid. I’m sure Lester will be fine. Follow me.”
“I...”
I looked at Ming.
His eyes were full of treacherous smiles.
It seemed that he expected me to do so. I was more flustered.
What should I do?
I didn’t know.
But I didn’t want to stay with Ming.
I thought of the past. I was only interested in work. Sometimes I even felt like a walking corpse.
When I knew Ming and Erin were cheating, I didn’t care.
We were just engaged. If we got married, the future was hopeless.
I decided to bet.
Fortunately, Lester was with Linda.
I made up my mind and didn’t hesitate to take off my engagement ring and put it on the tea table.
It meant I was going to let go of this relationship.
When I did this, I saw Ming’s eyes get complicated.
But it was the best choice. If we were together, we both suffered. We’d better break up.
I put the ring down and turned around and left.
Ming didn’t stop me. His bodyguards didn’t move either.
When I got to the door, the ambulance arrived. Several doctors got out of the ambulance and took Erin away.
There were many cars outside. When I came out, Sean’s people came out and got on two big business cars. Briana and Doris came out with Sean’s bodyguards.
It turned out Briana was Sean’s servant.
I hesitated and got on Sean’s car.
Ming never showed up at the door.
When the car left the community, I felt relaxed. I seemed to have escaped from a cage.
But Sean looked serious. I looked at him and asked, “what’s the matter?”
He didn’t seem to hear me. He stared at the distance and seemed to be thinking about something.
After a few seconds, he seemed to realize that I was talking to him. He turned and looked at me. “What?”
I knew he was thinking, so I shook my head. “Nothing.”
I proposed that we lived in his house in York No.1. Though Ming had a house in this community, it was one of the best in downtown York, so there was a lot of security and it was safe.
I was in the same room with Sean that night, but we didn’t do anything and just hugged and slept.
