3/4
Chapter 2
The temperature had dropped below zero before the Spring Festival, making it difficult to hail a
taxi. I stood for a while and my hands became frozen.
The phone displayed – “Waiting in line.”
The sound of high heels clacking came from behind, accompanied by a woman’s gentle voice,
“Terrance, the snow is really beautiful.”
“It’s cold outside, go to the car first, I’ll come over in a while,” Terrance’s voice was highly
distinctive.
“Then you hurry up.‘
When the woman passed by me, she gave me a meaningful look.
Then he walked towards a nearby place and opened the car door, and his action inadvertently exposed the bracelet hanging on his wrist, which was particularly eye–catching.
That was the heirloom of the Wilkerson family.
Back then, it used to be worn on my hand, but when we broke up, I had someone return it to
Terrance.
So she was not just a girlfriend, but also a fiancée.
The crowd had all gone, leaving only him and me.
The car I called for hadn’t arrived yet.
Terrance always stood behind me, saying nothing.
The two people remained silent, with two overlapping shadows under the streetlight.
My mind drifted back to that night when we broke up, Terrance had a car accident on his way to
meet me.
His friend called, sounding upset, “Terrance is in the hospital.”
“Was he in danger of losing his life?”
“Didn’t you come if you weren’t there?”
“Please take good care of him.”
“Elliana, he got the opportunity to go abroad and he will surely succeed sooner or later. Why can’t you wait a little longer? Are you really that short of money? All the things he did for you, you have completely forgotten, haven’t you?”

His friend almost broke down on the phone, he was just short of calling me a heartless person.
The phone was suddenly snatched away by someone and dropped.
I can say that I abandoned him.
It was normal for him to hate me.
“How much do you owe?” Terrance pulled me out of my memories, his tone indifferent.
“It has nothing to do with you.‘
I took a breath of cold air, and my throat, which had just been irritated by alcohol, suddenly hurt,
causing me to cough.
The air conditioner severed the trachea, causing intense pain.
I bent down, leaning against the lamppost, and the alcohol I had just drunk began to churn in my
stomach, making my eyes water.
Terrance stood beside me, looking coldly.
The taxi slowly stopped in front of me, and the driver poked his head out from inside, “Is it Harmony Mansion you’re going to?”
“Yes.”
I propped up my knees, stood up, took a breath, and went to pull the car door. Suddenly, someone grabbed my arm and dragged me away.
Caught off guard, I stumbled into Terrance’s arms and he asked, “What were you doing there?”
Harmony Mansion was a wealthy neighborhood and people were not easily allowed in.
I clumsily reached out to push Terrance’s hand, but he grabbed my wrist in return.
The scorching body temperature pressed against the skin and seeped into the chest.
I struggled twice but couldn’t break free. I looked up at Terrance’s dark and mysterious face and asked, “What does Mr. Wilkerson want to say?”
He pursed his lips, his dark eyes deep and calm, his emotions unclear.
The cold wind howled and messed up my hair.
I pulled up the corners of my mouth and spoke out his thoughts, “Just like everyone else, do you think the money I earned is dirty?”
“50,000 per month, is it enough?”

Terrance interrupted me with a cold face.
“What does it mean?”
Terrance’s eyes finally revealed a layer of sarcasın, “Don’t you lack money? Fifty thousand, a hundred thousand, not enough for you to spend?”
I suddenly raised my hand, and the loud sound of a slap echoed through the night.
Terrance had clear fingerprints on his face.
In the distance, a woman’s scream could be heard, and she opened the car door and rushed out.
“Live your life well and don’t reach too far.”
I left these words behind and left by car.
