As he got closer, Ansel realized that the woman’s beautiful wavy hair had been straightened, and his favorite color had been dyed back to pure black.
No makeup, no high heels.
A white T-shirt, completely plain.
Only… those eyes seemed to be brighter than before, without any trace of the gloom and depression caused by a broken heart.
If this was an act, Ansel had to admit that she acted pretty well.
So good, that it succeeded in pissing him off.
Myrna frowned. She knew him too well. This expression was a precursor to anger.
“Oh,” the man sneered, “But your taste is not very good. You have been by my side for so many years, you should have some requirements, right? Not just anyone will do. Otherwise, how can I, your ex-boyfriend, save face?”
“Face?” Myrna suddenly found it a little funny.
But there was a hint of sadness in that smile.
Unfortunately, Ansel didn’t notice.
His mind was now filled with images of Myrna smiling sweetly at other men, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
He attributes this emotion to the male’s “territorial consciousness.”
Myrna’s territory had been occupied by him, even if he no longer wanted it, he would not allow those lowly cats and dogs to urinate there.
“I have something else to do, so I’ll leave first.” Myrna didn’t want to hear him continue.
“Leave? Where can you go? Joanna ‘s apartment? That’s the only place you can go. But you’re tough this time. You took the check and ID with you. OK, you want to have fun, right?”
Myrna felt a stab in her heart.
She had long been accustomed to his bad temper, even his perverseness and violence, but when she actually heard these words, she couldn’t help but feel hurt.
Did he think she was just playing?
Myrna slowed down her breathing, tried to adjust her mood, and then pulled the corner of her mouth: “First of all, Mr. Gus and I are just ordinary friends, not as dirty as you think.”
“Besides, we’ve broken up. What you want to think is your business.”
At this time, the taxi she took arrived.
Myrna opened the car door and got in: “Driver, please drive.”
Ansel sneered, Myrna is really getting more and more capable.
It’s not like she hadn’t used this trick to threaten him during their quarrel three months ago.
This time, she brought the wild man directly in front of him. How dare she do that?
Suddenly, a pair of soft hands climbed up his arms, and Sunny leaned closer to him: ” Ansel , why are you leaving like that? You didn’t even wait for me…”
The strong smell of perfume came, and Ansel couldn’t help but frown, but he didn’t push the person away. Instead, he put his arm around the woman’s slender waist and said, “Why? You want to come with me?”
She is the only one who can find a man, so why can’t I find a woman?
In the car????
Myrna looked at the intimate man and woman in the rearview mirror and suddenly curled her lips in self-mockery.
Susie is not the only one…
It?? s been six years, and it?? s all been fed to the dogs.
In his peripheral vision, the taxi was moving farther and farther away, and Ansel’s expression changed.
He coldly pulled Sunny ‘s hand away.
Sunny didn’t know what was wrong with him and wanted to continue to stick with him, but the next second he ruthlessly pushed her away and the man walked away without even looking back.
“No… Ansel ! Ansel , stop right there!”
The woman bit her lip angrily.
Ansel got in the car, started the engine, and called Vita .
“… Brother? Aren’t you on a blind date?”
Ansel gritted his teeth: “Did you tell Myrna about what happened to me at the West Coast Restaurant today ?”
“Can you be smart and not tell outsiders everything?”
“Mom forced me to go on a blind date, but you didn’t help keep it a secret. You even told her the news and asked her to find a man to anger me. Can you use your brain? Why do you do such stupid things?”
Vita was startled by his suddenly raised voice: “No, brother, what are you talking about? When did I–”
She was so confused that she looked at the hung up phone, speechless.
“No, what did I do?”
Before she could stay angry for too long, the housekeeper came over with a gift list, “Miss, do you think these are enough?”
Vita took a quick look and found that they were all good stuff. Then he checked carefully again and nodded with satisfaction after finding that they were correct.
“These things are for Professor Thoreau . Please be careful when preparing them. You must not make any mistakes. Got it?”
“yes.”
” Ms. Wagner , this is the best house near University B. Look at the light and the environment. There are so many people waiting to rent it. If you don’t make a decision now, you might lose this house.”
The agent introduced the place enthusiastically, and Myrna looked around.
The house is not big, with two bedrooms and a living room. It was renovated more than ten years ago. Not only is it old and dilapidated, it is also a traditional staircase house.
But the advantages are also obvious.
to University B , it is also next to the library, so transportation is also very convenient. Most importantly, the lighting and environment are really good.
If she wanted to start over, this was definitely the right place.
“Okay, I’ll rent it.”
She signed a one-year contract in one go.
Joanna came back, she saw the suitcase spread out on the floor.
“You’re moving away?”
Myrna was packing her clothes: “Well, I’ve found a house.”
Joanna said “Oh” and guessed, ” Ansel came to see you? Not bad, at least you managed to hold out for a week this time, it’s time to leave those bastards alone, lest they get too arrogant and think they’re the president …”
Myrna paused and their eyes met.
” Joanna , this time, Ansel and I are really breaking up, and I won’t go back.”
Joanna was stunned for a moment, and suddenly she began to believe it.
For six years, she watched Myrna hide her true self little by little for Ansel , and her radiance gradually dimmed until she became a housewife who revolved around a man.
No, the housewife is certified and is the legitimate first wife. What is she, Myrna ?
That rubbish Ansel is just ruining people!
“Good division! This should have been done a long time ago! There are so many men in the world, Ansel is not bad at all!”
“Yeah!” Myrna nodded.
“Well… well, is it absolutely true this time? You won’t go back again in a couple of days, right?”
Myrna laughed.
On her way back, she stopped by the market.
The house is old and the paint on the walls has fallen off a lot.
The furniture also looks like antiques with age.
She plans to buy some environmentally friendly paint and repaint the house.
“Master, thank you for your help.”
The driver helped her carry several large barrels out of the trunk one by one.
Myrna looked up. The seventh floor…
I can only climb by myself.
If you want to repaint the walls, naturally the furniture in the house will have to be moved around as well, which is a good opportunity to readjust the layout.
She simply left the door open and carried up several buckets of paint one by one.
The buckets were not light, and Myrna struggled hard to move them. She climbed two floors and then rested, then climbed two floors and then rested again. By the time she had finished moving several buckets of paint, she was already exhausted and out of breath.
After resting for a few minutes, I went to the bathroom to wash my face, and my strength gradually recovered.
She picked up the paintbrush and gestured at the wall, then –
Roll up your sleeves and get to work!
