Irene Nadine’s POV
I’m not sure if Ryan Campbell still lives there. I just want to have a try. Now I have to be more active to see the child again. Otherwise, Ryan Campbell will never let the child see me again in his whole life.
They arrived in a few minutes by taxi. After paying the bill, they got out of the car. Looking at the familiar place in front of them, which was once called home by me, they walked a little bit stiff.
There were too many memories reposted here, including the warmth and happiness he brought, the worry and fear of a person living here, as well as the missing and suspicion for him.
“Ding Dong -” the elevator door opened. I took a deep breath to calm myself down before stepping out of the elevator.
Now my mind is like a slideshow, and those intermittent scenes appear in my mind one by one. It was not until I stood in front of the door that I came to my senses. My mind went blank immediately. I raised my hand to knock at the door, but she retracted it resentfully.
What if… He moved away?
She had a lot of guesses in her mind. She thought what should I do if the person who opened the door later was him, and what should I react if it was a strange face.
Before I could figure out a good way to deal with it, my hand had already kept ringing the doorbell.
In the quiet corridor, there was only the sound of doorbell ringing. My mind went blank and my heart beat fast.
After pressing the button for a few seconds, there seemed to be no movement in the room. I pressed the second button. A few seconds later, the result was the same.
Is there no one at home? Or he just doesn’t want to open the door for me?
If they were strangers, they would ask who I am, wouldn’t they?
She lowered her hand in disappointment, but didn’t go away. When she narrowed her eyes, she saw the password lock. The lock seemed to have been changed, and it looked very new. It must have been changed?
He heaved a long sigh and pursed his lips. He was not reconciled at all. Although he knew that the hope was slim, somehow, he reached out and pressed the familiar number on the password lock: 5211314.
The moment I pressed the confirmation key, I felt like I was crazy. I thought I could open the door with this password.
However, the next second, the lock moved and a crack appeared in the door. At that moment, I was stunned. Unexpectedly, it opened?
She gently pushed the door open. The room was dark, and perhaps the curtains were drawn. It was really dark.
With tension and curiosity, I walked into the room and reached out to the familiar place to turn on the light.
When I saw the scene in the room, my first reaction was that Ryan Campbell was still living here.
Was she sleeping in the bedroom? Or he didn’t come back tonight?
The one who was so sure to live here must be Ryan Campbell. Firstly, the password of the door was not changed. Secondly, the decoration here was exactly the same as four years ago, and the room did not seem to have been empty for a long time.
Standing in the middle of the room, I felt like I was in a trance. I was a little confused about the concept of time. Would I travel back to four years ago as it was written?
Because everything here is exactly the same as when I left.
It seemed that no one had moved here in the past four years, but the room was clean.
She looked at the stairs and went upstairs. The room was so quiet that only my unhurried footsteps could be heard.
Standing at the door of the familiar room, I didn’t know how many times I had taken a deep breath. I adjusted my breath, and then turned the door behind me. The light lit up the dark room. Everything was still the same as it was four years ago, except for something missing from me.
Even the doll I bought on the bed is still on the bedside.
She felt a lump in her throat and tears welled up in her eyes. She tried her best to hold back her tears and turned to his bedroom on the other side. In fact, at this moment, I was wondering if I could open the door and see him and the child sleeping on the bed. When I saw the flat bed, I was a little disappointed.
There was still a special smell in the room, not very strong, but very good. I clearly remember this smell. I walked to the bedside and looked around the whole room. The pink lace bedside lamp I bought was still on the bedside table. I remember that he didn’t dislike it at that time, because such a thing was too inconsistent with the style of this room. But I have left, why did he still keep these?
If he hadn’t come back after I left, it would be understandable. But how could he explain it to me since it was so clean here?
She picked up the photo frame on the bedside table and couldn’t help but burst into tears.
It was me in the photo frame
I didn’t dare to guess what Ryan Campbell was thinking about. I just burst into tears and squatted on the ground, crying bitterly.
Why did he do this? If he did this because he missed me when I just left, I could understand. But why did he still keep such a scene after missing the past? Shouldn’t he hate me?
But even if he hasn’t forgotten me in the past four years, he should be completely disappointed in me now. The matter of the child is enough to make him never forgive me all his life.
No wonder he was so angry. Did he spend the past four years in such an emotion?
Before I was moved, I thought of Ryan Campbell’s hatred. Everything here shows how much he misses me, so now I can imagine how much he hates me.
Because I can understand this feeling when I am cheated by the person I care most in my heart.
She also realized how difficult it was to get the custody of Theresa from him.
I didn’t know how I left. I didn’t go back to the hotel. I walked to his company unconsciously. In the night, the tall building was sleeping, and only the LED lights on its body were shining in the night.
She stood under the building and looked up at the top floor. The tears on her face had dried up in the night wind. She looked at the time again. It was two o’clock in the evening.
There were fewer and fewer pedestrians and cars on the street, and it was not easy to hail a taxi here.
I went back to the hotel. With tiredness and complex feelings, I curled up on the sofa by the window and fell asleep.
When I woke up on the second day, I felt a little dizzy and not very uncomfortable. Compared with what I was facing now, I was not in the mood to care about this little cold.
Looking at the city that slowly woke up in the morning, the street was crowded with people. Everyone was busy with their own things.
After sitting on the sofa for a while, I found that it was time to go to work. Then I stood up and began to pack up my things.
The breakfast was sent from the hotel for free. It didn’t taste good. I took a few bites of bread and put it down. Then I went out with my bag.
She arrived at Ryan Campbell’s company with ease. This was the only place she could find him.
I came very early. The company hasn’t started to work yet, and the employees have come to the company one after another.
It was totally different from the first time she came here, but she was more nervous than the first time.
She wandered at the door for a long time and didn’t enter. I thought maybe she could see Ryan Campbell’s car driving over there.
Others only think I’m waiting here, and no one looks at me strangely.
Even if there were former employees, I felt they looked familiar, but no one recognized me as the former wife of the president.
She didn’t see Ryan Campbell’s car until it was past work time.
It’s already nine o’clock in the morning. The sun is burning. My temples are sweaty, and even my clothes are wet.
She took a look at the company and found that everyone had started to work in an orderly way. Would Ryan Campbell arrive before I came here?
Thinking of this possibility, I took a deep breath and walked into the company.
The rules of the company have changed. He just asked me to register with my ID card and then let me in.
Looking at the familiar scene here, I took a deep breath to relax myself and walked towards the front desk
“Miss, what can I do for you?” The girl at the front desk saw me and asked me with a warm smile.
I pursed my lips and thought for a while before I said, “… Has your boss arrived?”
“Boss? Mr. Campbell?”
“Yes.”
The receptionist looked at her up and down and confirmed that she was not familiar with the face. Then she said, “do you have an appointment? If you have, I can call to ask, because we don’t know the whereabouts of our boss.”
I felt a little disappointed and shook my head slightly.
“I’m sorry. We can’t contact you without an appointment.”
I was stunned and took out a small medicine bag, which contained Theresa’s medicine. I handed the bag to the receptionist and said, “can you give this to your boss?”
The receptionist took it over and looked at it. She was a little embarrassed. Then she asked tentatively, “are you a relative of Mr. Campbell?”
I just smiled awkwardly. I don’t know if I should nod or deny it. I don’t know what relationship I have with Ryan Campbell now. Ex husband and ex-wife? But obviously, it was not suitable to be used here. She just asked, “please send this to him. I have written the dosage on the note in it. He will understand when he sees it.”
Anyway, we can’t do anything harmful to the baby’s health because of our adults.
The receptionist vaguely felt the relationship between her and Ryan Campbell. After all, they were not very close to each other. How could a person send medicine to the company? But it was not a problem to teleport something, so he agreed.
I was so worried about her that I had to leave in silence.
