I Loved You and That’s It

Jane stayed out until the early hours of the morning before returning home.Making the decision to leave took only a moment, but over 20 years of feelings weren't something she could just erase. She wasn't strong enough to truly let go without looking back.To avoid regretting her decision, she thought it best to minimize her interactions with Tom during the remaining 2 weeks.When she returned to the Howard family's residence, the house was pitch dark.Jane didn't turn on the lights and dragged her exhausted body toward her bedroom.But a voice from the living room suddenly called out to her."Jane."She turned and saw someone sitting on the sofa."What is it, Miss Bundred?"Hailey was wearing a black lace camisole nightdress, sensually leaning against the armrest of the sofa. She smiled. "Tom bought this nightgown for me. Does it look good?"As she sat up straighter, the faint red marks on her body gradually became visible.Against the black lace, they appeared even more p

Tom immediately slammed his cup down heavily and said, "I gave her permission. What's the problem?"Jane stared at him, anger simmering. "Without my permission, what right does she have to enter my room and touch my things?""Jane, this is the Howard family's residence. Hailey is my fiancee. She can enter any room in the Howard family's residence as she pleases."Jane felt as though a bucket of cold water had been dumped over her.Hailey softly "scolded" him, her voice gentle. "Tom, how could you talk to Jane like that? You'll make her sad."Then she turned to Jane and explained, "Jane, the household staff told me that Tom's clothes and shoes had always been stored in your room. You've got so many clothes, and he was taking up half your closet, leaving no space for you. So I took the initiative to move all his clothes to our bedroom."Jane recalled how clingy Tom used to be with her.Because of him, she had never even received a love letter in her entire life. He had scared off

Linda was also a bit surprised. "Jane, even if you want to show some kindness, we could have just donated money. Why donate all the clothes? It's getting cold, what will you wear?"Jane looked at Tom, gave a light smile, and said, "Didn't you say you'd help Hailey compensate me? These clothes are old, I don't want them anymore. With the money, I'll buy new ones. Is that okay?"Tom looked at her for a while and nodded. "Fine, how much do you want? I'll transfer it to you right now."Jane held up two fingers.Tom asked, "200 thousand? Sure.""No.""2 million?"Hailey suddenly got anxious. "How can a few pieces of clothing be worth 2 million?"Jane gave her a cold look and then said to Tom, "20 cents."These clothes were the ones Tom had insisted on buying for her before.Now that she had decided to leave, she didn't want to take his things, let alone his money.As he himself had said, this was the Howard family, and she was an outsider.20 cents, transaction complete.More t

This question once again shocked the other three people present.Mrs. Westwood covered her mouth and laughed secretly, then subtly gave Mr. Westwood a knowing look, nodding as if saying, "There's something going on here!"Mr. Westwood immediately understood and showed a meaningful smile.Even Sean was taken aback, unsure of Jane's intentions.Jane explained, "The front passenger seat is meaningful to any girl. If Sean has a girlfriend, I can go to the back and squeeze in with Mr. and Mrs. Westwood."Sean immediately waved his hand, "I don't have a girlfriend. You can sit here."Only then did Jane get into the car.After the car started, Mrs. Westwood gently said to Jane, "Jane, you don't need to be so distant. You and Sean are not strangers."Jane replied politely, "No matter how familiar someone is, as adults, we must have boundaries."This was a lesson taught to her personally by Tom.She would never forget it in her life.Mrs. Westwood smiled and said to Mr. Westwood, "Lo

Tom drove back home as fast as he could.Just in time, he encountered the delivery man at the gate of the neighborhood.But the man was empty-handed."My package?" Tom grabbed him. "Didn't you say Jane sent me a package?"The delivery man was startled. "Mr. Howard? Your wife already signed for it. I just delivered it to her.""My wife?""Huh? No? But the lady just said she was Mrs. Howard..."Tom rushed into the villa."Hailey! Where are you?"At that moment, Hailey, who was in the bathroom, shivered in shock.She threw the things in her hands into the toilet and frantically pressed the flush button, but the next second, the bathroom door was kicked open by Tom.He grabbed the box in her hands and anxiously started flipping through it.—It was all photos.From when he was a child to when he was a grown man.He was wearing school uniforms, basketball outfits, suits, and casual clothes.Front, side, back, all were there.They were all his photos.They were taken by Jane.
