In the house full of sadness, suddenly Kevin was unable to breathe, plunged to the floor, and let out the anguished cry from the throat. She finally left, even he was cautious and careful when facing her in daily life. She still left, without looking back, with no struggle, and resolutely abandoned him …
His life has once again been doomed for being a sentimental failure. How tough did a person have to face this emotional trauma again and again? This time, he thought he would never survive.
Grief was greater than the death of heart, which was not enough to describe his mood at the moment. Every time he was in love with his heart, but he was abandoned again and again. He knew Bella was tired and how much pressure she had. Her leaving was not her fault. He just couldn’t accept it why she didn’t fulfill the promise they made together.
If she stayed with him, he still had the courage to face life. Now that she was gone, he suddenly felt that nothing mattered anymore and returned to be cold like the past, or even colder.
Lying on the cold floor, his heart was cold. His heart that was beating at all times for Bella stopped beating the moment she left.
It was getting lighter, but the heart was still dark, and this darkness was endless …
At an empty and lonely station, a lonely woman was standing beside a deserted platform. Soon she would leave for a future without him.
They who were originally fell in love were separated, not for lack of love, but for lack of a way to love again.
When there was no hope of even surviving, what could make the love to continue …
From one o’clock in the morning to seven o’clock now, she had been standing by the platform for seven whole hours, her legs had long since gone numb, but her heart was the numbest. She had left all the good things here, and she would feel loss to go anywhere else in this life.
Blanche pushed open the door of her son’s room, saw her son lying on the floor, and shouted in panic, “Kevin, what’s wrong with you? Why are you sleeping on the floor?!”
Kevin closed his eyes and didn’t answer. If he could, he wanted to die quietly without waking up for the rest of his life.
“Bella? Where’s Bella?”
When Blanche saw the blankets on the bed neatly folded, a bad feeling flashed in her heart.
When Kevin heard his mother asking about Bella, he opened his eyes and asked with an empty stare, “Shouldn’t you know better than me where she went?”
“I … I …”
Blanche couldn’t say anything, got up and ran downstairs, calling out to the head steward of the family, “Immediately send someone to look for the young lady. Figure out where she is and immediately notify me.”
She sent out dozens of people, and in less than half an hour, someone reported that Bella was at the northern train station of the city.
Blanche quickly rushed over. There were still ten minutes Bella was about to leave. She held the bought ticket in her hand, woodenly stared at the ground, and could no longer shed tears. Last night, she had already shed all the tears of her life.
Despite her heart was broken, there was still a hint of residual pain.
“Bella, Bella-”
A familiar call came from her ears, and she turned around stiffly and indifferently saw her mother-in-law running towards her.
As soon as Blanche saw her daughter-in-law, she embraced her and cried, “Bella, I only asked you to divorce Kevin temporarily. I didn’t want to force you to leave.”
Bella was silent. At this moment, she didn’t want to say anything, her mother-in-law thought it was only expedient to let her divorce Kevin, but she didn’t know that she had already broken up a couple who loved each other when she said that.
“I can go anywhere.”
“You can’t go. If you go, my son will resent me for the rest of his life …”
She looked up coldly, “So is what you’re saying that I should stay here and watch how the man I love lives with another woman?”
“No, no, I have already arranged a place for you to live, and there will be a maid to serve you. You can use this year to recuperate well. Where there is life, there is hope.”
Bella smiled sarcastically, “In your eyes, am I just such a doll at the mercy of others? I’ll divorce if you tell me to. I’ll stay if you tell me to, and I can’t make my own decisions about my life at all.”
“Bella, I didn’t mean it like that. You’re without father and mother. I just don’t want you to suffer …”
“There’s no more suffering than I am right now, so thank you for still having an ounce of compassion for me. But I’m sorry I don’t need it.”
Bella glanced at her, carrying her luggage to get into the car, and Blanche held her back, crying, “Must you go, Bella?”
“Your son can’t even keep me. Do you think you can?”
Blanche wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and took out a check from her bag, “Okay, since you’re determined to leave, take this. You must not suffer yourself when you go out.”
“No.”
Bella didn’t pick up that check. She left Kevin because she was tired and couldn’t hold on anymore. It didn’t mean that she didn’t love him anymore. Accepting her mother-in-law’s money would only tarnish their love.
“You must take it!!!”
Blanche tugged the check into her daughter-in-law’s pocket the moment she stepped onto the train.
The train started and the check floated out of the window, and Bella would rather starve to death on the streets than let it belittle her dignity.
After the check floated in the wind a few times, it landed at Blanche’s feet, and Blanche slowly bent down to pick up the check, crying, watching the train left. She suddenly had a thought of whether she had done something wrong …
Kevin did not go to the office the whole day, just lay on the floor of the room silently like a living dead. Blanche went to her son’s room several times and finally could only sit in the living room in gloomy tears.
Patrick also felt extremely bad and came to his wife to comfort her, “Well, don’t cry.”
“Patrick, I always feel that we might have done something wrong this time and I’m worried that Kevin will collapse again.”
“No, the sadness is only temporary. Time will be the best medicine to heal the wound, just like Freya said he would gradually get better when he had a child.”
“Bella really hates us this time. I can’t let her stay no matter what …”
“It’s good to let her leave for a bit. Even without Freya’s intervention, she’s still very depressed. A change of environment and lifestyle after leaving would be a turn of fate for her.”
“She’s a good girl. I’m really sorry to lose such a daughter-in-law.”
“Don’t worry. If they are truly in love, they will still be able to renew their relationship one day. You just need to recognize one fact that true love is inseparable.”
In the evening, Kevin finally went downstairs. As soon as the couple saw their son go downstairs, they were quite surprised but when they heard what their son said, they were even more surprised.
“Tomorrow you guys will pick up Freya.”
The couple looked at each other. They couldn’t believe what they heard, and Blanche timidly asked, “What did you just say?”
“I say-” Kevin stepped towards them, “Pick up Freya.”
“How did you suddenly …”
Patrica frowned, always feeling that it wasn’t normal for his son to say that.
“Because this is what she wishes and what you wish. Then I will do as you wish.”
He walked out indifferently, adding in his heart that he only hoped that one day, you would not regret today’s decision.
Kevin arrived at the bar and made a call to Alvin, “Come out for a drink.”
Alvin quickly rushed over and asked as soon as he met him, “What happened? Why haven’t you been to the office all day?”
Kevin was already a little drunk, but still kept drinking wine, “Alvin, I’m now a lonely man like you …”
Alvin’s heart thudded and he asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Bella left me, and I can feel she’s not coming back.”
For half a minute, Alvin didn’t say a word as if he suddenly understood everything. He said painfully, “Because of Freya?”
Kevin scoffed and laughed, “That woman is influential. She messed up my life, ruined my life once three years ago, came back three years later and ruined my life again … Well, it’s ridiculous …”
Alvin patted him on the shoulder, wanting to say a lot of things, but he couldn’t say a single word.
He could feel how desperate and heartbroken Kevin was at the moment. Following him for over ten years and witnessing his two love affairs, he knew the bitterness in his heart better than anyone else.
Kevin drank moonshine one cup after another. Now for him, there was nothing more pleasurable than drinking.
If he could drink until he died, it would be even more pleasurable.
“It’ll get better. Don’t drink.”
Alvin snatched his glass and really couldn’t bear to see him go on hurting himself like this.
“I’ve been with Winifred for two years and I was like a fool not knowing about her cheating. In the end, she even seduced my best brother. How sad is my heart! But I did get through it, so you have to get through it too. Love is important, but we can’t always live for love. We always have to live for ourselves once. ”
“Same words.”
“What?”
“When she left last night, she also said something like this. A man has to live for himself once in a lifetime.”
Kevin stared vacantly at the blood red cocktail in his hand. He shook and his eyes were more and more blurred, already not knowing where he was.
“In fact, Madame was also forced to leave. Freya made such big trouble, which a woman can’t bear. If you can’t bear to let her leave, maybe one day she can’t stand the pressure and goes crazy or commit suicide by then you will be more painful than now. She left at least she has a way to live. You think about it in a different way, and you may not be so sad.”
