Chapter 1451
The last time, Anthony shouted at her, telling her not to be so lowly anymore.
She was holding another woman’s clothes, slowly squatting down by the bed.
She remembered that she didn’t cry at that moment, she just asked him, “Do you really not love me anymore?”
When she got the answer, she finally woke up, realizing that once someone’s heart changes, they can’t truly come back…
After that, she locked herself up, trying to convince herself to let go while hoping he would come and see her.
Eventually, in such days, she gradually developed depression.
How did she manage to get through it?
Through countless fantasies, self-redemption, and the companionship of her parents…
That road was so long and painful, every time Edith thought back, her heart would ache.
She warned herself not to try that pain again.
Luckily, as time went by, slowly, the pain faded away…
She knew then that she had completely moved on.
Looking at the lonely figure in the distance, she softly said, “Anthony, make it clear. This way, you can let go, and I can find peace.”
He had been chasing after her, just wanting to explain what happened back then. After all, it’s hard to accept the separation when it was against their will.
By venting out this dissatisfaction, he would find peace, just like she did. Even someone who had loved so deeply was able to let go, right?
Anthony’s steps slowed down, but he didn’t turn around. Through tear-filled eyes, his gaze fixated on the silhouettes projected on the ground by the streetlights.
“Do you remember when you asked me before why someone as young as me would wander among clubs?”
“Yeah, I remember.”
As a high school student, it was abnormal to spend day and night in various entertainment places.
She was curious and asked him softly many times while holding his arm, but he never told her the answer.
“My stepmother made me go.”
Because she was a stepmother, she was afraid he would
obstruct her son’s path and take away their father’s love. So she forced him to become a playboy, and his father would give the inheritance to Johnny.
“Didn’t you resist?”
