ANMELDENAfter West gathered his luggage and stepped out of his room, dawn was just breaking. He paused at Wilson’s room and pondered seriously for a minute before making up his mind. Then he pulled his luggage and walked out of the house.He approached his parked car and got in. He kept glancing at his phone from time to time, hoping Rosana would call him, but as he got closer and closer to the airport, she still didn’t call.His chest tightened with disappointment. He sat in his car for three minutes before getting out and heading toward the airport. As he looked around tentatively, he didn’t even bother saying a word to the driver sent over by the company he had contracted to carry out maintenance on his car while he was away.He kept glancing back from time to time before entering the terminal and waiting. When his departure flight was announced, instead of going in for the normal routine checks, he turned around and ran out of the airport, then took a taxi.Rosana had just woken up, and a
Rosana had already seen through West’s intention to provoke Wilson. She held Wilson tightly and shook her head.“Babe, don’t listen to him. Let’s leave.”Wilson looked at West coldly, then turned around, got into his car with Rosana, and drove off. West watched them leave helplessly. He turned, walked back to his car in resignation, got in, and sped away.He didn’t go home immediately. Instead, he decided to stop by a bar and have a few bottles of beer, hoping it would ease the frustration burning inside him after realizing that Rosana had truly fallen in love with Wilson and no longer loved him.The moment he got out of the car, his phone rang. He ignored it the first time, but when it rang a second time, he decided to answer. He pulled his phone from his pocket, and the moment he saw who was calling, his expression changed drastically. He quickly picked up.An angry roar exploded from the speaker. “West, where the fuck are you? Why aren’t you in camp training with the others?”West
Wilson didn’t stop West as he quickly dashed over to where Rosana stood. He simply watched them quietly, his eyes filled with indescribable emotions. Although his face was expressionless, his tense muscles revealed how worried he was.When West saw Rosana up close, he couldn’t hold back. Regret and overwhelming emotion surged through him, and even his voice shook as he spoke slowly.“Rosana, I’ve been looking for you all day. It’s good… you’re here…”Rosana interrupted him.“West, I’m really tired right now. I hope you won’t cause any more trouble. Wilson and I have had a long day, and we need to go home and rest. We still have another task to take care of tomorrow. I won’t have time to chat with you or keep you company.”West immediately realized that Rosana didn’t want any further discussion with him. He stiffened, then replied anxiously, his voice flustered.“Rosana, please listen to me…”Rosana grew irritated and retorted unhappily, “I don’t have time to listen to whatever you hav
When West saw that his mother didn’t say another word, he realized he had guessed correctly. He immediately walked off. His mother panicked and called out, “West!”“Mom, don’t call my name. I don’t want to talk to you,” he said as he walked out of the house and headed directly to his parked car.He got in and drove off.His mother stood helplessly at the entrance, watching him speed away. Barely a minute later, her husband, whose attention had been drawn by the commotion, emerged from the house. He looked at his wife with furrowed brows and asked, “What happened?”His wife replied, “I don’t know how West found out, but he is aware that Wilson and Rosana are about to get married.”Looking at his wife’s face, which was creased with worry, he pondered seriously for a minute before comforting her. “There is no need to be so worried. Even if he finds out, there is no way he is going to know the date or the venue. Let him do whatever he wants; he won’t be able to change anything.”Her tense
It was another day, and the sunset cast a faint yellow glow as West stepped out of the hospital. His face was solemn, and his eyes were filled with anger. He had been hospitalized for more than twenty-four hours, yet before he was discharged, neither his parents nor his brother had shown up. Not even Rosana had come.Although he was not too disappointed that Rosana had not come to see him in the hospital, what utterly disappointed him was that his parents had not come to check on how he was doing.“They can’t wait to kiss up to my younger brother. Now that he is richer and has more status than I do, they are all supporting him. They shouldn’t worry. When I win the world tournament with my teammates, I will see how their attitude changes,” West muttered, his fists tightly clenched. He was very unhappy, and it showed in his cold eyes and dark expression.After pondering seriously for some time, he walked directly toward the street. He flagged down a taxi and got in.When the taxi pulled
Morning sunlight crept slowly over the horizon, and with it came a soft wind that made the leaves on the trees whistle gently. Dry leaves fell from the branches, and the curtain near the tree swayed softly. Inside the room was Rosana, who had just gotten out of bed.Standing before her was her older sister, Edna.“Good morning,” Rosana greeted.Edna quickly walked over to the bed and sat down beside her. Passing a cup to Rosana, she said, “Drink this.”Rosana didn’t ask what was in it. She quickly took a sip, then savored the taste quietly. After several more sips, Edna asked, “What do you intend to do?”Rosana raised an eyebrow, confused for a moment.Edna explained clearly, “West doesn’t seem like someone willing to give up on you. What is your plan with Wilson? You don’t intend to let this continue this way, do you?”Rosana felt a headache coming on just thinking about it. She had never expected that West, who had resolutely broken up with her years ago, would come crawling back, a
Chloe felt a little frustrated. She didn’t expect Kelly to be so unreasonable. She took a deep breath and sat quietly beside him.He put down the finished cigarette and stomped it out. Then he reclined on the bench and fell silent.When Chloe saw that he was done smoking and had calmed down, she de
Chloe had no intention of quarrelling with Kelly. She had sent him birthday texts, tried to call him, and even posted on social media, but Kelly didn’t reply or react to any of it.Although she was annoyed, she decided not to answer his question and instead wished him, “Happy birthday, sweet—”Kell
Kelly scoffed at his father. “She’s one of you now. You’ll have to defend your people.”Then he glared at Chloe, opened the door, and stormed out of the house, slamming it behind him.Jax stepped closer to Chloe and said, “Kelly suddenly came home and started throwing William’s and Mia’s luggage ou
Chloe didn’t know what to say anymore. She covered her face with her palms, and when she lowered her hands, she looked at Williams.“I don’t know how to make Kelly understand me anymore,” she said. “He’s refused to listen to me.”Williams looked at her and replied, “You should give him time.
