Chapter 7%
Noah was ordering dishes and waved at me. “You don’t like coriander, do you?“%
“How do you know?” I was shocked.
“The last time we had dinner, I saw you didn’t eat those dishes with coriander.”
“Noah, you’re very good at observing.“%
“Really? I also think so.”
After dinner, he proposed to take a walk in the park to help digestion.”
“How did you come up with the idea of writing the ‘Demon Repressing‘? Where did your wild imagination come from?”
Although he looked rigid and dignified, Noah did not look like a big shot at all.
As if I had found someone to talk to, I told him everything.
I didn’t expect that half a month later when I was being interviewed as the author of “Demon Repressing“, Jacob and Hailey would be there as well.
The identity of ‘Lily‘ had not been made public before, and my photos had not been posted in the exclusive poster.”
No one knew that I was the author.
However, their expressions were quite different when they saw me.”
Hailey’s face was full of disdain. “Humph! She pretended to break up while following me. Bitch, you’re so pretentious!“}]
However, Jacob came over excitedly to hold my hand. “Abby! I knew you were playing hard to get, right? Tomorrow is our fifth anniversary. Let’s make our relationship public, okay?”
His attitude was unprecedentedly humble.
But I don’t care about it anymore.
I dodged his hand. “I’m not dead. No need to mention it.”
Jacob froze.
He suddenly realized that we had reversed our position. The hurtful words he had said to me in the past were all returned to him like darts.
“Abby, you’re still angry, aren’t you? Let’s go back and talk…”
He still wanted to hold my hand.
“Don’t touch me. You’re dirty.”
After that, I didn’t give him another look and went straight to the backstage to take the interview.
The interview and the book exhibition were held at the same time, which was very grand. Even a few stars were invited here.
When I appeared on the interview stage as ‘Lily‘, I could see Hailey’s shocked expression.
Jacob’s expression was complicated and dull, as if he was a little surprised, but also had expected it.
In the past, when he wanted me to play video games with him, we quarrelled more than once because I wanted to write a book.
I told him that I wanted to have lilies along the way, but he was more important than lilies.
I used to put him in the top priority, but now, he was of no importance.
By the time I finished interacting with my fans after the interview, it was already very late.}
When I walked out of the hall, I saw Jacob was still waiting for me.”
*Abby, I’ll send you back. Let’s have a chat.“%
“I’m not familiar with you.”
I didn’t know what he meant because I had mentioned the break–up so many times.”
There was no need to have a chat.
“You asked Mr. Jameson to arrange the resources for me in the entertainment industry by playing games for him for a whole day and night, weren’t you? Why didn’t you tell me?“%
Jacob asked me with red eyes.!!
“What’s the point of mentioning the past?”
I was extremely calm.
When I didn’t love him, I would not be moved at all except for feeling unworthy and aggrievedTM
“I’m sorry, Abby. I didn’t expect you had suffered so much in the past two years.“}
*Jacob, let bygones be bygones. Ill go first”
I was going to get in the car!!
After selling the copyright for more than 5 million dollars, I bought a car
Noah asked me to be the assistant director to follow up on the filming of Demon Repressing. If everything went well, I wouldn’t meet Jacob again for a year!!
“Abby, can’t you give me another chance? How can our five year relationship come to an end so easily?”
Jacob eagerly stopped me.§
“Jacob, you can’t ask me to keep exhausting all my passion in you.”
I responded indifferently.”
*1…” He understood the meaning behind these words.
I had given him too much leeway, but he thought that I was dull and boring and forgot that I also had a lively soul.
“You probably don’t know. Although we have been couples for five years, I have loved you for ten years.”
“You…” Jacob was very surprised. His eyes flickered but disillusioned again.
“I fell in love at the age of sixteen and confessed my love for at the age of twenty–one. I want to be with you for the rest of my life.“%
Because we grew up together, I’ve always been closer to him than anyone else.”
On Valentine’s Day, he suddenly held a bunch of roses in his arms, saying with a blushed face, “Abby, take the flowers. I’ll take a picture of you.”
“Why are you taking photos?”
“Just take it. Why do you ask so many questions?”
“Okay.”
“Once you accept my flowers, you’re not allowed to accept others‘ flowers in the future.” He scratched the back of his head.
At that moment, the evening breeze blew gently.
The wind messed up the hair on the boy’s forehead and also made his ears red.}]
It stirred my heart as well.
In the past ten years, I had been looking forward to growing old together with him, surrounded by children and grandchildren.}
There was no bond between us.
“When I had the miscarriage, I really hated you. But later, I didn’t hate you anymore, because I really didn’t love you.“}
1 had also thought of taking revenge on Jacob and Hailey.}
As long as I said that I was Jacob’s ex–girlfriend and posted those screenshots of Hailey’s Instagram, which was only visible to me, they would suffer.
But on second thought, there was no need to waste my time on them.}
Growing up was a process of constantly tearing and healing to achieve self–improvement.”
They would eventually reap what they sowed.
