He did not want to impose his thoughts on Rosalind.
Whether it was years ago or now, he had no such desire.
In fact, with Ulric’s capabilities, it would have been easy for him to keep Rosalind by his side without lifting a finger.
However, he truly could not bear to see Rosalind hurt, even slightly. He wanted her to be happy, and if her happiness could not include him, he would rather disappear.
“But she has already hurt you so much! Even I can’t stand to see it! Ulric, just give the word, and I’ll find out who her husband is, see if he realizes who he’s crossed! If it comes down to it, I’ll threaten her to make Rosalind return to your side, toil for you, and vent your frustrations!”
“Don’t go,” Ulric’s voice finally broke, his sadness no longer concealable, “I truly love her, but I also truly need to let go.”
…
Rosalind did not return to the construction site but went straight back to the hotel.
She entered her room, not even setting down her bag, and collapsed directly onto the large bed.
Ulric’s voice echoed over and over in her ears…
Honestly, she could not deceive anyone with what she was about to say-she missed Ulric. She even wanted to record those few short phrases Ulric had spoken, to listen to them when she could not balance her emotions and desired a mad dash to see him, to soothe herself.
Like an addict using a mirage to quench a thirst.
But reality would not allow it…
Too many things stood in the way, not allowing it! She must remind herself to stay away from Ulric.
Her phone suddenly rang in her bag, Rosalind sat up, tears streaming down her face as she realized she had been crying…
After several deep breaths, Rosalind took out her phone and pressed the answer button.
“Hello, Lion.”
“Why haven’t you come back? Did Johnny bully you? Tell me! Although we are friends, I am definitely on the side of justice,” Lion’s voice was urgent, unaware of the whole story, but suspecting that Johnny had definitely troubled Rosalind.
“No, he just talked about some past things. We used to work at W Group together, remember? There was a little misunderstanding back then.”
Lion was skeptical of her explanation, “If you say it was a little misunderstanding, then come over, and we’ll clear it up face to face!”
“No, it’s not necessary. He and I won’t have any dealings in the future, so there’s no need to clear up anything! Lion, after this project, I’m planning to leave the country. I don’t want to get involved in past matters anymore,” Rosalind paused, “Sorry I couldn’t make it to dinner, I’ll treat you next time! I’m not feeling well today, so I won’t come over.”
That’s all she said, what more could Lion say.
“Although I don’t know the details between you and Johnny, I know you’re a good person. If there’s a conflict, it must be Johnny’s fault! Don’t worry, at least in my presence, I won’t let you get hurt.”
“Lion, that’s too much,” Rosalind said with a laugh, not wanting to hurt Lion’s feelings, but also not wanting him to harbor any illusions.
She had no time to entertain anyone’s pursuit, even if it was her boss, Lion!
Because no one could ever treat her better than Ulric. Absolutely no one.
