Chapter 476
The man had an exaggerated head of yellow hair and was dressed in a punk style.
As soon as he entered, he put his arm around Jessica’s shoulder.
Jessica did not struggle. Instead, the two of them chatted happily.
Peter felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head. His restless heart calmed down in an instant.
Was that person… her boyfriend?
She already… had a new boyfriend?
Actually, before he came to look for Jessica, Peter had already thought of this possibility.
When she left so resolutely back then, she was prepared to cut off all ties with him.
Then it was natural for her to have a new boyfriend.
That’s just a possibility. However, it was also a reality.
When he saw this scene, he felt so heartbroken that he could not breathe.
He wanted to rush over to separate the two of them, and then grab her hand to go away.
However, he knew that if he did so. Jessica would never forgive him again.
Therefore, he could only helplessly watch Jessica get on the man’s–motorcycle.
He watched Jessica hug the man’s waist intimately and lean her head on his back.
Peter used to think that Jessica’s refusal to forgive him made him feel the worst.
However, it was only at this moment that he understood that watching her fall in love with someone else was the most unbearable.
However, even though his heart ached so much that he was about to suffocate, Peter still subconsciously drove after them.
The punk man sent Jessica to her place.
Then, he kissed her gently on the cheek and rode away.
Jessica stood by the roadside and watched his car disappear from sight before turning around to walk into the house.
Peter gripped the steering wheel tightly.
He felt as if his heart was being cut into pieces.
But there was nothing he could do..
Because he was the one who injured Jessica first.
When Jessica went upstairs, he realized that the light bulb in the stairwell was dead again.
It has been changed third times this month.
It seemed that she would have to buy a new light bulb tomorrow.
When she returned home, she collapsed heavily on the bed.
The house she was living in now was just about 300 square feet in total.
However, basic daily necessities could be guaranteed.
Moreover, it was quite close to her school. Most importantly, the rent was cheap.
Anyway, she had lived in a narrow and small attic before.
This kind of place was not unacceptable.
Jessica pulled the blanket aside and was about to sleep,
Last night, she revised the thesis for the entire night, and then today, she went to work at the florist for the daytime.
At this moment, she was so tired that she did not even have the strength to eat.
She just wanted to have a long–time sleep.
And as soon as she fell asleep, she actually dreamed of the past.
Her beautiful dream was shattered in an instant.
Jessica was almost drenched in sweat as she woke up from sleep.
Chapter 476
The room was dark except for her rapid breathing.
It had been a long time since she had dreamed about the past. Why did she dream about it again today?
Jessica rubbed her aching head and fumbled to turn on the light.
She got out of bed and went to the kitchen to get a glass of cold water.
After drinking, her chaotic mood finally calmed down.
She opened the fridge to see if there was anything else to eat.
However, she realized that it was empty inside. In the end, she had no choice but to take the key and go out to the supermarket to buy some supplies.
Unexpectedly, when she went down to the second floor, she realized that the broken light bulb had lit up again.
What happened?
Did the landlord change it?
In the past, when she called him, he would always say that he was very busy and insist that she could handle such a trivial
matter.
Why did he suddenly become so kind this time?
However, it also saved her the money for a light bulb so she could buy more snacks later.
Back then, in order to avoid Peter, she did not follow Marina’s arrangements to attend the school she had chosen for her.
Instead, he got off the plane halfway and came to the country where she currently lived.
It wasn’t because she didn’t believe Marina.
It was because she wanted to force herself to grow.
If she followed Marina’s arrangements, she would definitely arrange everything for her.
And she would become more dependent on Marina.
So she might never really grow up.
Therefore, she had to put herself in a helpless situation so that she could grow quickly.
Actually, when she first came to this unfamiliar country, she lived in fear every day.
Because she did not have much money, she had to tighten her belt and spend every cent sparingly.
The accommodation fee for the school she attended was a little expensive, so she could only choose to rent a house.
After untold hardships, she finally found an affordable house.
After that, there was a long time to adapt to the environment and apply for admission.
Just these matters had taken her more than half a year.
However, the effect was also very impressive.
Now, she could communicate with everyone without any barriers.
She could even calmly accept some overly intimate contact.
More importantly, she managed to spend two safe years in this country without Marina’s care.
When she finished her studies, she could go back to Marina.
At that time, she would definitely become a helpful assistant, not a little girl who could only seek her protection.
Jessica didn’t shop in the nearby supermarket. Instead, she took a taxi to the suburbs.
