Stanley returned only towards the end of the movie.
There was still an unpleasant smell of fishy sweetness on his body.
In addition, he also brought back a box of popcorn.
“Karissa, I’m sorry I came back late. The popcorn machine at the cinema was broken and it took a long time to fix. This is just made, so you can eat it while it’s still hot.”
Karissa waved her hand and said, “I didn’t want to eat.”
“Why didn’t you drink the hot chocolate?”
“I didn’t want to drink.”
“Alright, then let’s not eat or drink and watch a movie.”
Karissa sneered, “The movie was almost over.”
“It’s all because of the guy who was fixing the popcorn machine, it took a long time but still couldn’t fix it.”
“So during those three hours, were you just waiting for him to fix it?”
Stanley nodded heavily, “Yes, the manager can testify for me. If you don’t believe me, you can ask him.”
“No need.”
Karissa picked up her bag and left.
Stanley chased after her with her coat and popcorn, saying, “Karissa, what did I do wrong? Just tell me directly, and I’ll change, okay? Don’t ignore me like this, it scares me.”
“What were you afraid of?”
“I was afraid that you didn’t love me anymore.”
Karissa turned around and looked into his eyes.
It was him who betrayed their relationship first.
He clearly said one thing and did another.
He clearly was the one who didn’t appreciate her first.
Since that was the case, she also completely withdrew her heart.
And there she was.
She gave the fake death organization one of her own clothes, tore it apart, and then bit her finger, smearing the blood on it.
A week later, he would be able to receive this blood–stained clothing.
And she herself, would forever leave him.
“Karissa, why weren’t you speaking?”
Karissa let out a deep breath and said calmly, “It was just my period, feeling a bit tired.”
“Then I will take you home to rest.”
“Um.”
On the way home, Stanley kept trying to talk to her and tell her jokes.
But Karissa simply said, “I was a bit tired and wanted to rest.”
Stanley finally closed his mouth.
When they arrived home, Stanley escorted Karissa to the bedroom.
Karissa asked him, “Are you still going to the company to handle business tonight?”
Stanley nodded and said, “There are still some things that I didn’t finish yesterday, so I have to work overtime tonight.”

“Then you went quickly.”
Karissa lay down with her back turned to him, giving him the cold shoulder.
Stanley stood still.
He seemed to have sensed that something was wrong, but he didn’t know exactly what was wrong.
Karissa suddenly wanted to play a prank.
She turned around and said to Stanley, “Can you not go tonight?”
Stanley visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
Karissa still relied on him, still acted spoiled and pouted with him, still clung to him, which indicated that she hadn’t noticed anything.
Stanley said gently, “Karissa, tonight we agreed that many executives are waiting for me. Next week, next week I will definitely make time to be with you, okay?”
“Next week?”
“Well, next weekend is our fifth wedding anniversary, so I organized a grand ceremony to let everyone in Southmallow know that you are the woman I have loved the most in my life.”
Grand ceremony?
Karissa laughed. /
That would be even more exciting.
“Okay, then you go.”
“Our Karissa is really well–behaved. Well, I’m off now, the time is almost up, can’t keep them waiting for long.”
Is it “they” who cannot wait for long, or is it “she” who cannot wait for long?
Stanley hurriedly left.
The tablet on the sofa started vibrating again, and they connected once more.
Stanley: Are you ready?
Monique sent a picture over.
This time, it was changed to a nurse uniform.
Of course, it was not a proper nurse uniform, with the revealing parts exposed and the inappropriate parts also exposed.
Stanley: I will kill you tonight.
Karissa turned off the tablet and then started packing her things.
Clothes, bags, shoes, and all the things Stanley has given her over the years.
Until she took out an iron box from the cabinet.
Her hand paused for a moment.
In this box, there were love letters that Stanley had written to her before.
A thick stack.
When they first got together, he wrote, “From today onwards, Karissa is the love of my life.”
On his birthday, he wrote: “My birthday wish is to be able to love and live happily with our Karissa for the rest of our lives.”
On Karissa’s twentieth birthday, he wrote: “Our Karissa has reached the legal age, I must quickly marry you and bring you home.”
On the day of our wedding, he wrote: “Welcome to my world, my most adorable and beautiful princess, Karissa.”
The rest, Karissa couldn’t be bothered to look at anymore.
She took all the love letters outside and burned them to ashes.
The next morning, she was awakened by the sound of Stanley entering the room.

He seemed very angry.
“Karissa, our wedding rings were actually stolen by a beggar and taken to a jewelry store to be sold!”
Karissa was a little disappointed.
How did he find me?
“And, he actually sold it for only ten thousand! It’s simply tarnishing our ring.”
He walked over and took Karissa’s hand, wanting to put the ring back on her finger. “Now, it’s back where it belongs…”
Karissa withdrew her hand and refused to put on the ring again.
Stanley was a bit confused and asked, “Karissa, what happened to you?”
“No, I just… I have gained some weight recently, and the ring size doesn’t fit anymore, I can’t put it on.”
Stanley smiled and said, “It’s okay, I will take it to the jewelry store later and have them resize it.”
“Up to you.” Karissa asked, “Did you not do anything to the beggar who sold the ring?”
Stanley hugged her again and said, “Don’t worry, I knew that our Karissa has a kind heart and couldn’t bear to see the beggar suffer. I didn’t hold him responsible.”
“Give him some more money,
he was very poor.”
“Okay, then I will give him another ten thousand later.”
Just as they were speaking, Karissa’s phone rang.
She answered the call.
“Hello Karissa, we are from Fakedeath Company and we have processed your new identification documents as per your request. Would you be available to come and collect them?”
“Okay, send me the address.”
“I will send the location to your phone later.”
“By the way, could the new document purchase an airplane ticket?”
“Don’t worry, it is completely possible.”
“Okay, thank you.”
After hanging up the phone, Stanley suddenly became anxious. “Karissa, what new documents? And the plane ticket, are you leaving? Where are you going?”
