Joey shook her hand, “No, you don’t understand, Allen is a perfectionist who wouldn't hesitate to throw any flawed daily necessities away even if he likes them very much, let alone me, his girlfriend. It’s likely that, as you’ve said, he will accept it for now. But I’m sure he will never forget it. It’s the last thing I want to do to him.”
In this case, she’d rather break up with him now than live a miserable life together in the future.
She hated to bring him such misery.
Fiona was speechless because she knew Joey was right. She paused and said again, “Why don’t you go back to my house?”
“No, thanks.”
Joey shook her head again, “I’d like to go home. Would you take me to another airport?”
She had taken back her suitcase from Allen with her passport in it, which meant she had everything she needed to go back home now.
Fiona froze for a second and nodded, “All right.”
The taxi driver was asked to go to another airport in the city.
When the car drove past Allen, just as Joey had been kidnapped by Ben Hawk in the elevator last night, he was standing by the road with his back to her, anxiously searching for her and totally unaware that she was driving away from him from behind.
Looking at his back, Joey leaned closely against the car window and bit her lips to keep from crying out. It seemed that they were destined to leave each other.
When they arrived at another airport, Fiona went through all the formalities for Joey in silence.
Before Joey left, she was dispirited, but she still thanked Fiona sincerely, “Thank you, Fiona, for everything you’ve done for me these days. You saved my life. Please let me know if you ever come to visit China someday. I will show you around.”
“It's a date!”
Fiona smiled and nodded, “When you go back home, call me if you need someone to talk to.”
Joey nodded, turned around and left alone.
