"Since he looks like someone you know, we'll take our leave first so as not to disturb you, Madam." Drover glanced at Tyler, then said to me.
I nodded. "Okay, see you next time."
After sending them away, I turned around and went in.
Tyler was still standing in the living room as he looked around the place. He probably had not been here for a long time, so he was a little stunned by the changes.
He turned around and glanced at me. "Who are they?"
"Tenants," I replied softly. There was not the slightest hint of emotion in my voice.
Tyler frowned. He looked puzzled. "This is Susan's house. Where is she?"
"She asked me to rent it out before she left." I was still indifferent, and I looked at Tyler coldly. "I'm leaving now. I'm going to lock the door, so please step out."
His expression sank. Tyler came over to grab my hand that was about to close the door before saying in a calm tone, "She left? Why didn't you tell me?"
I yanked Tyler's hand away and smiled coldly. "Would it have mattered if I did? Besides, you have another woman by your side now, so you don't need Susan now, do you? Her sadness will only magnify if she stays here. She said she was going to another city to start over."
"Where did she go?"
"I don’t know."
"Wanda!" Tyler squeezed my wrist again, looking a little agitated.
I did not break myself free this time. I let him hold my hand as I looked him in the eye. "It's not that I don’t want to tell you, but she didn't even tell me. She canceled her original number and I can't contact her now."
Tyler slowly let go of me after I said this, looking slightly absent-minded.
I had never seen him look like this, but I did not feel any distress. This was his own fault. He failed Susan.
"Your ability is sky-high. I don’t think it would be a problem if you tried to look for Susan. But Tyler, so what if you find her? If you can’t give her your name, then don't disturb her life." I looked away and ruthlessly chased him away again. "It's time for you to go out."
Tyler's throat moved slightly. He glanced at the living room, seemingly recalling the past moments between him and Susan. There was some trace of yearning in his eyes.
