작가: Hallsy
The hotel room was empty. The luggage rack showed no sign that anyone had even touched it.

Jaxson frowned. He thought I'd gone for a walk on the beach, so he called me.

"Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently busy..."

His call had been blocked.

A flicker of irritation rose inside him. He felt I'd dragged this tantrum on long enough.

So, he borrowed one of the hotel staff's phones and called again. The phone rang for a long time before it was finally answered.

"Hello." My calm voice

  • Confession Night Turned Into Goodbye   Chapter 10

    Three years later, I stood in the Wesmuth University physics laboratory. Wearing a white lab coat, I was recording the final set of data."Congratulations, Dr. Hewlett. Your paper has been accepted by a top-tier journal." Zayn walked in carrying a folder, smiling from ear to ear."Congratulations to you too, Professor Sharpe." I smiled back.Over the past three years, I had secured direct admission into a combined master's and Ph.D. program thanks to my outstanding academic performance. Zayn, on the other hand, had become the youngest associate professor at Wesmuth University.Together, we had reached the top of our respective fields.I glanced down at the ring on my left ring finger. Zayn had slipped it onto my finger last month when he proposed to me in the laboratory.It was a simple ring. Engraved on the inside was the journal identification number of the first paper we had ever published together.He had said, "Miranda, I can't weave you a grass ring, but I can give you a f

    Jaxson became a complete laughingstock.He gave up his internship at his family business and spent his days wandering around the area near Wesmuth University. He tried to engineer chance encounters with me, but I never gave him so much as another glance.In the blink of an eye, it was the second semester of my sophomore year.The physics competition project that Zayn and I had worked on together won the first prize in a national competition.On the day of the awards ceremony, the sky was overcast, and rain poured relentlessly. Holding my trophy, I walked out of the auditorium beside Zayn. He held a black umbrella, and he angled it slightly toward me.During the ceremony, he had placed the medal representing the highest honor around my neck. Beneath the spotlight, we smiled at each other.Walking side by side through the rain, we discussed the direction of our next research project.Suddenly, Jaxson came stumbling out from the side entrance of the auditorium. He was soaked from h

  • Confession Night Turned Into Goodbye   Chapter 8

    It was the Wesmuth University orientation gala.As the freshman representative, I stood beneath the spotlight in the grand auditorium, dressed in a formal gown. Calmly and confidently, I read my speech. My voice carried through the microphone across the entire hall."Over the next four years, may we all learn to shut out the noise of the outside world and discover our own irreplaceable value."As my words came to an end, the audience burst into applause. I gave a slight bow and turned to leave the stage.When I reached the dimly lit hallway backstage, I saw Jaxson standing there. He was dressed in a meticulously tailored suit and was holding a large bouquet of red roses. His eyes were bloodshot.The moment he saw me, he slowly walked toward me, taking one careful step at a time.He spoke in a hoarse voice. "Mira, I know everything now. Back then, Ingrid broke the rules in the computer lab on purpose. She just wanted to see if I'd come to her rescue unconditionally. I saw the scre

    The words "You disgust me" stabbed straight into Jaxson's heart like a knife.He stared at me in disbelief, his eyes filled with the confusion of someone who no longer recognized the young woman standing before him. In his mind, I had always been gentle and forgiving. As long as he humbled himself just a little, I would always let him off the hook.But now, there was nothing in my eyes except disgust. There wasn't the slightest trace of lingering affection that remained."Mira..." Jaxson murmured my name and tried to step forward again.Zayn had already taken out his phone and dialed campus security. "Hello? I'm right outside Building Six of the women's dormitory. Someone is causing a disturbance here."The moment Jaxson heard those words, his face fell. He clenched his jaw and stared at me for ten full seconds.In the end, he looked utterly defeated. He turned around dejectedly and stumbled out of the campus.Watching his retreating figure, I let out a long sigh of relief."Th

    Jaxson pounded on the door downstairs for half an hour. He almost drew the attention of the area's security guards.Wearing her pajamas, Tamara stepped onto the balcony. "If you keep harassing me, I'm calling the police!""Tamara, I'm begging you. Please tell me where Mira is," Jaxson said, staring up at the second-floor balcony. "I've realized how much of a jerk I'd been. Just tell me where she is. I'll get down on my knees and apologize to her!"Seeing the once-arrogant scion looking so miserable, Tamara felt immensely satisfied.She looked down at him coldly and said, "It's too late. Mira already left to report to Wesmuth University. She changed all her contact information just to get away from trash like you. Stop bothering her. The least you can do is not disrupt her life. You owe her that much."With that, Tamara shut the balcony door."Wesmuth University..." Jaxson muttered to himself, a look of stubborn determination filling his eyes.That was right—Wesmuth University.

My calm voice came through the receiver."I'm already at Sundale. What are you upset about now?" Jaxson grumbled.Suppressing his irritation, he did his best to keep his voice gentle. "Where are you? I'll come find you."There was a two-second silence before I replied in a soft voice, "Jaxson, you made that post saying the storm had passed. So, I wish you nothing but clear skies."His heart lurched as a wave of panic instantly seized him. "What do you mean? Mira, don't scare me...""It's over between us
